One of the most gratifying things in
connection with the American army,
navy and marines abroad Is the well
come extended to them by the peoples
of all the allied nations. The cable
dispatches show that American troops
have been received with honor and ac-
claim, but it is the private letters from
Individual officers and men of the va
rious branches of the service which
really show the kind of reception
that has been given the American
troops, no matter In what country they
have arrived.
In Great Britain, Belgium. France
and Italy, the people have done their
utmost to welcome the American sol
diers and show the appreciation they
have that America has joined in the
great war. And where the troops min
gle with the allies on the front they
find such comradeship as will make
for better feeling In all the years to
come. 1t is particularly true of the
manner in which the American officers
and s2ilors have been treated by the
British officers and sailors of the va
rious fleets. 1t never seemed possible
that allied fleets could be controlled
with such harmony as has existed since
the Americans became part Of the
grano feet in the North Sea. In addi-
ton to having submarine chasers all
around the British Isles and the French
coaSt This harmony In rapord IN fha
higher officials has permeated the
ranks and American bluejackets and
marines have found the British sail
ors men of the right sort. The letters
% officers and men are filed with
praise for the manner In which Ameri-
cans have been treated in all parts of
the world.

opposition house and senate in

Lacking an issue of real mer-
it an appeal is being made to
sectionalism. Desperate efforts
are made to prejudice the
north against the south. Al
most every northern newspa-
per is being flooded with pro-
paganda directed at the south
and the southern people.
Now of all times Americans
should and will resent such
procedure. This is no time for
inflaming one section against
another. Itiis no time forpoli-
teal arguments based on pre-
Ijudices of the past.
America is playing a great
part in world affairs under a
great leader. 1t is time for us
all to broaden our vision and
cast petty politics to the winds.
From the standpoint of real
Americanism the republican
LEADERS directing the congress
lsional campaign are making a
big mistake. The average
voter is not worried over sec
ltional issues. He knows the
cry is a false alarm. He will
be richly justified this year in
refusing to follow such leader
ship and in casting his vote in
November for men who will
stand in political harmony with
the President.

theSenemy to hoist the white
flag. Germany is being whip
ped and the longer the war
goes on the more decisive will
be her military disaster. She
faces invasion and the destruc-
ton that will follow. With such
an outlook ahead it would be
good business for the Hun to
stop and throw himself on the
mercy of his foe.
On the other hand President
Wilson has served notice there
lcan be no peace with German
autocracy. This makes a sur
render out of question unless
the kaiser is ready to go from
power However, the Wilson
utterances previous to the re-
ceipt Of peace offers from Ber-
lin were equally decisive
against the German military
power. He said in New York
weeks ago we could make no
terms with such foe. Yet
after such ansRffront the Ger
mans sent an appeal for, peace
acknowledging &themselves
ready to accept terms that
meant almost as much as un-
conditional surrender. If they
could accept the Wilson ID
terms of peace why should they
hesitate at absolute capitula-
ton?
| The problem will be settled
doubtlessly in the field. If the
German army gets whipped
sufficiently there will be
speedy peace. If the foe Is
labIe to hold ont and effect a
good retirement or if hAdwea7
ther stops fighting until spring
there will be, much work ahead
for us all. >ifi- ~ ''-'
