war. Miracles have been ac-
complished.
2 In good faith to the nation
the President is right in asking
that this arrangement be con-
tinued until the trying times
are over. An opposition con
gress would mean disruption
and conflict when there should
be cohesion and unity. The
President says that at every
opportunity the minority lead
ers have sought to take the
conduct of the war out of his
hands and place it with SIN
strumehtalities of their own
choosing" The statement is
true. For many months the
opposition leaders sought to
place contfoFin. congression-
al committee. 1T would have
meant trouble. War making
lis executive work, not legisla-
tive. 1t was so IN Lincoln's
day. 1t is true now. aa
The Presidents control of af-
fairs was saved to him by the
democratic maiorities in the
two houses. The results have
Yindicated those who refused
to take the real war powers
from the executives hands and
place it with congressional
aspouters.
A. To elect an opposition con-
gress now will mean to invite
trouble, confusion and possible
disaster. Every practical man
or woman can see the danger.
More than that the election of
AN opposition congress will be
a signal to Europe that Presi-
\ dent Wilson is : repudiated at
home. 1t will break the power
of the worlds greatest leader.
. 1t will mean chagfin to our al
lies and JOY to Berlin.
Republican politicians and
newspapers may, rail@at Wilson
and malign him but the rank
and file regardless of partisan
ship will see the justice of his
appeal. 1T is the same identi-
zeal request the republicans
\ made in 1898 and their request
twas granted, They cannot in
good faith protest now.
The interests of the nation
and Of humanity call for giving
the President a congress with
which hescan work in harmony.
'f9o elect such a congress will
be but common sense. 1t will
BE patriotism when patriotism
lis needed.

IN BERLIN

IN EWS reports yesterday
NJ showed that crowds
gathered before the
Reichstag building demanding
the addiction of the kaiser and
the establishment of a German
republic. The news signifies
the trend of affairs in the enc
my land. The German people
are awakening to their situa-
ton. They were once taught
that the kaiser was next to God
and that he had legitimate
first mortgage on the world. In
days gone by it would have
been suicide for a German in
Berlin to shout for the kaiser's
abdication. But they know
differently now and their new
teacher is Woodrow. Wilson.
Our President has shown Ger
many that their kaiser is a
black hearted despot, ruthless
in dishonor and not to be trust
ed by civilized nations. He has
boldly stated Germany cannot
secure peace while the kaiser
is the master of affairs. There
fore the Germans are moving
to end the kaiser's rule. They
are going to take Wilson's adj
vice. Next to the victorious

MOVED FIRST FOR PEACE
 SAYS PAINLEvE

Amsterdam, April S-The statement of the French government and ex- Premier PatnTeve that 1t was Aus tria, not France, that took the in- itiative resulting in the converse dons in Switzerland concerning the possibility of opening peace negotia- tions are denied by the Austrian gov ernment, which insists that France took the first step.
 An official statement in Vienna says the accounts given by Premier Glenn enceau and M. Painleve of the meet ings in Switzerland between Count Revertata, the Austrian representa- tive and Major Armand, representing France deviate from the facts in many particulars. It asserts that the initiative was taken by the interme- diary acting in the name of the French government.
