\ II This Is Only the
~ First Step

This Mitteleuropa has been broken;
Bulgaria has surrendered; Turkey is on
the point Of capitulation. Austria, in the
happy phrase Of a German orator, "is
disbanding." On the negative side we,
the nations in alliance against Germany,
have prevailed. We have broken the
German conception, but this is obviously
only the first step. We have now to
finish the fight with Germany her
self; to achieve that victory which must
be achieved before there can be real
peace. But beyond this step lies the
next, which is Of appalling magnitude.
We have to prevent a recurrence Of the
German attack Of megalomania, Of lust
for world empire.
How shall we achieve this end? OBJ
viously, it is not possible to destroy any
considerable fraction Of the German
race, even were there moral justification
for such course. We cannot in any
considerable measure partition or en-
slave the 100000 members Of the
Teutonic race inhabiting Central Eu-
rope. To do this would be merely to
create a new Alsace-Lorraine or new
problem such as that Of Italy in the last
century. That this great mass Of Ger
man people would ultimately regain its
unity, and until it did regain that unity
Europe would be in a state Of Unstable
equilibrium, is patent.
By contrast, it is not now possible to
conceive that the 75.000,000 Germans
would in the past have undertaken
their gigantic attack upon civilization
had they not exercised complete control
over an equal number Of people, only
small percentage Of whom were willing
subjects or allies. An alliance between
100000 Britons, 100000 French,
35,000,000 Italians, together with the
10000, 600 Russians Of the days be-
fore the Russian revolution, would have
constituted an obstacle too great to be
passed. Germany risked her frightful
adventure solely because of her mastery
Of other races.
hrottIing Empire-Hungry
I Germany
If We can break the hold Of Germany
upon subject races, If we can transform
this war into a real war Of liberation.
if we can free some 100000 Of
men and women from the yoke Of Ger
many, we shall have created an obstacle
too great to tempt the ambition Of the
most avaricious and empirc-hungry Ger
man. By contrast, If we fail to do this
all history points to the probability
that ut some other time Germany will
return to the charge, as France, in
the days before the unifcation Of Italy
and u Germany, placed similar obsta-
cles in the pathway Of her Imperialism.
In it's simplest terms the problem OF
those va, are to redraw the map Of
Europe is to erect such barriers to
German expansion st the sxpenss Of the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-11-03

AS to partitioning these $4,000, 900
Germans, Stacking them by economic
or political chains imposed by the vic
tors, this is a combination of madness
and nonsense. The thing is impossible;
it is also immoral. But in free Eurone
the 100000 Germans will not be
menace. They will be minority far
too feeble to yield to the temptations of
the past. To make the world safe for
democracy we have first to make it free.
Having made it free there is no race
among all the races which can hope to
dominate the rest of mankind.

before All Else a War
- of Liberation

1t is not the territorial aspect, how
ever, which I wish to emphasize in this
statement, covering ground already dis
cussed frequently in these articles. To
me this war is before all else war of
liberation. The fact that a just and
honorable settlement will set free some
sixty millions of human beings from a
slavery which for their respective races
has endured over centuries, that it will
oestow unity upon other races, that it
Will draw map based not upon the am
oitlons OF kings nor the appetites of
imperialistic nations, is for me the su-
preme fact, which goes far to justify all
the great suffering Of the last four years.
If we are to have federation of the
world" we can only have it when al, the

DEMANDED BY PRESIDENT Will
SON IN ADDRESS TO JOINT
SESSION OF CONGRESS.
-FOUR VITAL PRINCIPLES
PLEDGES WHOLE STRENGTH OF
UNITED STATES "IN WAR OF
EMANCIPATION"
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, Feb. IL. President
Wilson addressing Congress in joint
session Monday replied to the recent
speeches by German Chancellor Won
Hertling and the Austrian foreign
minister, Count Czernin.
Chancellor Won Hertlings statement,
the President said, was very vague
and confusing and leads to practically
no conclusion. 1t was very different
in tone from Count Czernin, which, the
President said, had a very friendly
tone.
The President reiterated that the
United States had no desire to inter
fere in European affairs and would
disdain to take advantage of any in
ternal weakness or disorder to impose
her own will upon other people"
All the way through the President
drew a parallel between the pro-
nouncements of Chancellor Hertling
and Foreign Minister Czernin and his
hearers drew the conclusion that the
President decidedly considered Ger
nin's utterances as being more favor
able that Hertling's.
"Czernin seems to see the funda-
mental elements of peace with clear
eyes and does not seek to obscure
them," said the President.
Count Czernin," said the President,
probably would have gone much far
ther had it not been for the embarrass-
ment of Austria's alliances and Of her
dependence on Germany"
Again, the President reiterated that
the United States was in the war and
would put forth it's whole strength ''in
the war of emancipation
The test of whether it is possible
for the belligerents to go on compar-
ing views, said the President, was sim
pie and obvious and the principles to
be applied, he said, were as follows:
Each part of the final settlement
must be based upon essential justice
to bring a permanent peace.
2-Peoples and provisions are not
to be bartered about like chattels to
coCdUlIoH UdioACO VI Po"0A'
3-Territorial settlements must be
for the benefit of people concerned
and not merely adjustment of rival
states claims
4-Well-defined national aspirations
must be accorded all possible satisfac-
tion.
"a general peace upon such founda-
tions can be discussed" said the Pres
ident. Until such a peace can be Sc
cured we have no choice but to go
on"
These general principles, the Pres
ident said, have been accepted by
everyone except the military auto
Gratis in Germany.

is near by, was practically unknown.
Distances were great, travellers came
with their own coach and horses and
servants, and an arrival meant addi-
tiOnal places at the masters table and
in the servants hall, additional beds,
and stabling and feed for from six to
twelve horses. It was part of the flex-
ible, cordial social system, and the
hospitality and provision was on
large scale. Everyone was welcome:
brothers and sisters, nephews and
nieces, and cousins to remote degrees;
friends passing north and south, cross
ing from Maryland to lower Virginia,
or only on their way to the plantation
next beyond. Not least welcome were
strangers, with and often without let

Vernon instead of destroying it. The
place was bought in 1859 by the Mount

Union. At that time the only objects
in the house that had been associated
with it's immortal owners life were the
key of the Bastille, the clay bust which
HOudon modelled, a plaster bust of La
fayette, the old globe in the library
and some camp equipment.
During the Civil war Mount Vernon
was by spontaneous consent of both
sides the only neutral ground in the
country. Soldiers left their arms out
side the gates and "men in blue and
men in gray fraternized before the
tomb of the father of their divided
country"

after all.

A young housewife bought herself
lamb stew, and that evening set it
forth for the delectation Of her hus-

The stew was mostly lamb bone, the
husband thought, as he searched the
dish for bit of meat.
His probe proved unsuccessful.
But he didn't say anything.
Neither did his wife, but she was
thinking lot.
All of sudden the husband spoke
up.
"Why, this is meatless dayw he
yasped, horror struck In remembrance.
His wife looked sadly at the dish.

Overlook the Laborers."

outside servants, and Overseers, all
with their families, constituted an
army of several hundred. Everything
and everybody that had no relation to
the big house, as the masters dwell
ing on a Virginia estate has always
been called, fell under the direct ju-
risdiction of Colonel Washington. {.
The house servants and all those con-
nected with the domestic side of life
in the big house were the RESPONSE
bility of Mrs. Washington.
N A FTER the fashion Of most old
N Virginia homes, the kitchen was
in detached house next to the big
house, and professions Of pickaninnies
carried the heaped dishes across the
=. lawn into the family dining room. The
modern or even the now old-fashioned
cookstOve was unknown. The altar of
this temple was great fireplace with
an opening which would accommodate
half a dozen grown persons. Here
andirOns held wood cut to cord size,
and often oak logs which strained a
brace of black backs to lift into place.
Cranes of iron, wrought in the black
smith shop over the hill, swung steam
ing kettles above the glowing Goals.
Quarters of beef, young sucking pigs,
and rows Of fowl, game and domestic,
were roasted on spits. Corn pone and
sweet potatoes nestled in the ashes"
They refurnished the house almost
throughout, ordering the goods from
London, where the Virginia colonial
danes did most Of their shopping,
though it was then more distant than
Is japan today.
HCTHEY both were early risers,
though breakfast was not early
for all the household. Washington in
winter often made his own fire in his
library, and there, over his correspond
ence and accounts, did an immense
amount of work in few hours. Mrs.
Washington rose when he did and di
rected the beginning Of the days do
mestic duties into easy and ordered
channels. After breakfast he rode
out on one of his horses to overlook
the laborers on the various farms into
which he divided Mount Vernon estate,
and returned, according to Custis,
'punctual as the hand Of clock, at
quarter to three and retired
to his room to dress, as was his GUS
TOM Mrs. Washington chose the first
hour for religious devotion in her own
room, an unfailing custom her life
long. Dinner was a mid-afternoon
meal after the Southern tradition.
Washington rarely ate any supper,
though it was always spread for his
household and guests. When at Mount
Vernon it was his habit to retire at
nine o'clock"

was divided into three peri
DDS: (1) From 1852, when as
a youth Of twenty he inherited the
family estate, to 1775, when he left to
take command of the Revolutionary
army: (2) from Christmas eve, 1888,
when he returned home after peace
had been made, until 1889, when he
became president; (3) from 1897, when
he retired from the presidency, to 1899,
when he died. During the war and
during his presidency he visited the
place occasionally, but only for few
days at time.
Some delightful glimpses into this
happy home lifez are given by Paul
Wilstach in mount Vernon" published
by Doubleday, Page & Co.
WHEN George Washington became
w master of the Virginia mansion
it was not nearly so large as it is to-
day, for he built the banquet hall on
the north, the library on the south, the
piazza and tower, the great barn and
many Of the other outbuildings, be-
sides laying out and planting the gar
dens.
It was not until after his marriage
to "the charming widow" Martha Dan
bridge Custis, in 1859, that the family
life really began. 81 H
With Mrs. Washington came the two
children Of her former marriage, Mar
tina and John Parker Custis.
"These four were the nucleus of
busy and extensive life on the estate.

ers, tailors, smiths, carpenters, wheel

gambling on moderate scale consid-
cred fashionable diversion, but the
family at Mount Vernon patronized
the lotteries on various occasions"
TERE are some extracts from the
l Il diary Of John Hunter, London
merchant, who spent day and night
at Mount Vernon in 1885:
"The general came in again, with his
hair neatly powdered, a clean shirt
on, a new plain drab coat, white waist
coat and white silk stockings. At
three dinner was on the table, and we
were shown by the general into an
other room, where everything was set
off with peculiar taste, and at the
same time very neat and plain. The
general sent the bottle about pretty
freely after dinner. and gave success
to the navigation Of the Potomac for
his toasts, which he has very much
at heart. :"
"We had a very elegant supper
about that time. The general with
few glasses of champagne got quite
merry, and being with his intimate
friends, laughed and talked a good
deal. Before strangers he is generally
very reserved, and seldom says word
At twelve had the honor Of
being lighted up to my bedroom by the
general himself.
"When the general takes his coach
out he always drives six horses; to
his chariot he only puts four. E.
I fancy he is worth 100000 pounds
sterling and lives at the rate Of 5000
or 1000 a year."
IN the final period the life at Mount
Vernon was livelier than ever-the
good, old-fashioned life of a Virginia
country gentleman; open house to all
many guests, both American and for
eign, but both George and Martha

to his library again, where he made
