A War Of Nations.

p HIS war Is IlOt WIT VI dTIIlIeS
1t is a war of nations. There isn't a
man, woman or child I'm Great
Britain, in Belgium, in France or in
Italy that Is not factor in this war
I tell you that If you should go, as
have gone, about those ruined dis
tricts in France and see the little
children, little bits of tots, four and
five years old, driving in the herds
at night, seeing the little boys com.
ing down the road-little bits of tots
with their arms full Of faggots that
they were accommodating against the
winter; old men and old women work.
ing in the fields until 1t was so dark
that, as you looked you could just
make out those vague ghostly forms
gathering in the crops for France.
II have passed through those towns
and looked in the windows at night,
where you could see little here and
there, and they were always working,
working, working, to carry on this
war. 1t is not the armies of France
that are the essential thing to France
In this war, nor the armies of Eng
lard, nor the other countries. Those
armies will do their part, and do 1t
to a finish, If they are supported by
the people behind, and the great cry
ing need in Europe today is to build
up the spirit and keep up the spirit
of the people behind the lines, and it
is that great work in which the Red
Cross-thanks not to us on the other
side, but to you on this side-have
performed and become the largest
known single factor since our entry
into the war;"

New York.-One thousand seven
hundred men and women In the grand
ballroom of one of the big hotels saw
the German as he really Is through
the eyes of Maj. Grayson NJ. p. Muir
ply, Red Cross director in Europe.
Major Murphy arrived here recently,
after being in France for nearly ten
months, and he is going back again.
He came to make report to Henry p.
Dawson, chairman of the Red Cross
war board.
Major Murphy said in part:
u want to ask you to consider for
q -ffi6ment the fact that up to this
day Germany Is entirely victorious
In this war; that any peace that is
made today on the basis of tOday's
status quo ante would be practically
q complete victory for Germany and
for the German idea. Germany has
lost nothing in this war except blood.
She has fought her war on the ter
ritory of others. She has drawn from
Tic tciIitoIy VI OthchS vast Supphco
of materials and vast sums Of money.
She has had between forty and fifty
million people working for her for
practically no wage-really as slaves.
She has established her cursed hold
on Austria, on Turkey and on Bull
garia, and she has at her feet MUIR
dered Serbia and unfortunate Rou-
mania.
Hun Stops at Nothing.
sYou don't know what these Ger
man people are, believe.

the horrible, brutal, beastly, consist
ent official things that Germany has
done, not in isolated cases, but gen.
eyally, to the women and children
and the poor old suffering people In
the countries where she has set her
dreadful foot. She has stopped at
nothing. British officers told me of
seeing their wounded piled in heaps
and hand grenades thrown in the
midst and exploded to kill them while
they lay there.
British officers have told me of
the men being taken as prisoners
through Germany and German women

handed it to them. I came back

ALL OUT BUT THE GRoGey ONE.

Turkey is out and Austria is almost
on. Bulgaria blinked out some time
ago. Germany might be termed by the
sports as being somewhat "grogg!
The war is almost over. The Times
Republican believed when the first
German appeal was made to the pres
ident that the end was near ana
things seem to be rapidly turning out
that way. There was fear that Ger
many planned ruse but 1t was IN
conceivable that sane men would even
believe that they could put anything
over on such men as are leading the
entente armies and governments
hence the more reasonable conception
of the German purpose was that she
was willing to surrender.
The armistice terms are expected
today. They will be drastic for they
must preserve the military power OF
our allies to compel Germany to accept
the terms of peace to be formulated
later. Germany must give bonds for ap-
pearance as a criminal and her crime
being heinous the guarantee that she
will keep the peace and accept SEN
tence by the court must be binding
one but Germany will probably accept
the terms. She prepared herself for
this ordeal before she asked for an
arnistice. Had defeat not been real
lied, acknowledged and accepted as
certain no appeal for an armistice
would have been made. The German
! army would still have been fighting for
it's fatherland while the kaiser and
his six sons led on from safe places
| in the rear.
| When the armistice has been agreed
| to the fighting will cease but the SOL
diers will not all come home soon.
| Those in the. cantonments in this
country will be quickly mustered out.
| Peace treaties will consume months
| in the negotiating during which time
a considerable army must be kept
guarding Germany. Because the Ger
/ mans fear less desire &c: vengeance
from the United States troops and be-
cause the troops Of our allies have
been so many years away from home
it may be that Yankee troops may dc
large share Of the guarding by con
sent Of both parties.
It is hoped that President Wilson viii
let Belgium and France and England
and Italy have pretty much their own

The Collapse Of Austria.

This separate action by Hungary is.
perhaps, the best-known indication OF
how complete is the collapse OF Aus
tria. Hungary has been for decades
the keystone Of the Austro Hungarian
state. II was the only effective mill
tary element within the empire which
could stand against the pan-German
tendencies OF some Of the most wrile
sections Of the Austrian Germans. AZ
times the Magyars seemed almost TO
sympathize with pan-Gernanism; but
II was not sympathy with the Ger
man Ueber Allies" idea at ALT was
only the natural attraction Of an az
greseive people, ruling its own roost
BY naked force and armed autocracy,
toward a towering citadel OF force on
which 1t might lean.
Hungary was bayoneted into the
Hapsburg empire. So strong was II
that 1t might have defied Austrian
bayonets IL Russian bayonets had not
delivered the fatal thrust from the
east. There are Americans alive who
still remember the elder Kossuth's
passionate pilgrimage thru this then
young country. Our hearts 6led tor
him, but we had no armies then to
bleed for freedom beyond the Atlantic
and beyond the Alps. But We have
today.
But when Hungary found Itself in
side the Hapsburg bull-pen and hao
time to look around. its alert and
vigorous leaders decided to make the
best Of bad bargain and see what
could be conquered from their con-
uuerors. The results abundantly JUST
fed the adventure. They conquered
complete control Of greater Hungary
in which they were an actual minority
they conquered a hah-share IN the
empire OF their conquerors-and late
ly, they have virtually conquered con
troll OF the entire empire. Magyar
profits in the Austro-Hungarian en-
pire far exceeded anybody elses. With
out 1t they would have been like
little Balkan people,. within 1t they
were one OF the imperial races OF
Europe. :,

many, it would be quite possible for
Germany to draw on her raw ma

for an instant that the allies would
