FOCH MAKES GERMANS
BEG FOR ARMISTICE

10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wlPEl
London, Dec. % (by The Associated
Press. London IS laughing over q
story that has just reached here
regarding Marshal Ferdinand Foch's
reception of the German white flag
party. According to the account when
the delegates arrived they announced
they had come TO discuss terms of an
armistice the associated government
proposed.
Foch regarded them with blank
stare. IAN armistice? ! know nothing
of proposed armistice." he is said to
have declared.
The delegates appeared dumbfound-
ed They explained Germany had ac-
cepted Wilson's fourteen points and
they understood an armisticc had
been arranged
1--WE are not proposing an armis-
tice," replied the French commander
in-chief. II don't know what you are
talking about"
"But we have come to obtain an ar
mistice," the spokesman of the Ger
man party protested.
oh" said Foch, you have come TO
beg for an armistice?"
''Well," the German hestitated, II
suppose you might put it that way"
The official record is said to contain
this line: THE German delegates then
begged for an armistice.'

THE RECONSTRUCTION PROBLEM

The reconstruction of the world af-
ter the war will be something more
than problem of grading up the
shell holes In France and Belgium and
rebuilding the battered towns and
broken BRIDGES, mending fences and
paying bills.
The war was Begin by a plumber
band in central Europe, ard it m,sht
have been enGed there as other wdi {
have been, by beating the band ana
driving it Lack to cover. But in the
course of the war other wars broke
out, and the causes of all of them are
reasonable to one fundamental wrong,
namely, certain men were using goods
and privileges which belonged to 9TH
er men.
What was true of nations are still
true of the individuals composing the
nations. Wronged men are planning
to get their privileges AMI property
back
This means that every nation will
have upon its hands Immediately a
tangle of economic problems that they
may not admit now will be hard to
solve. But q swift decision is sure to
be demanded by such people as have
nothing to lose and everything to gain
by economic upheaval,
If the honest parties to the contro-
versy could be left to smooth matters
out between themselves, there would
be no reason to fear. But the preda-
tory thriftless and the predatory
thrifty are likely to do much in this
reconstruction period to delay and de-
moralize.
The Christian socialists, of whom
there are very few in the United
States and still fewer in Europe, are
right when they say these problems
would be solved if the world would
accept the Sermon on the Mount. But
this does not get us very far when
we consider that the world never has
voted en- masse to accept the princi-
pies of the Sermon on the Mount, and
the worlds present troubles are en-
masse and must be settled that way
The hope of settlement, however
lies in the possibility that there are
enough people with Christian princi-
pies to recognize the theory of the
universal brotherhood of man, and to
make the necessary resolutions, COM
promises and restraints, with this the
DRY consciously or unconsciously re-
speeted
If in the tumble Of readjustment
the spirit of brotherhood can be kept
in sight as means to the ultimate end,
the distress of the worlds rebirth will
be greatly mitigated

NIT such crimes against Germans in

Among private individuals the fear
of public opinion tends to keep people
from breaking the law As a rule.
people are peaceful and orderly and
don't want to be classed with law
breakers They have become accus-
toned to submitting to authority. And
so far from considering that the law
restricts their liberties. they feel rath-
err that the law guarantees their en-
joyment of them
When law is established among ma
tons, public opinion will help out in
the same way. But just as there are
individuals who brave public opinion
and break the law in the hope of
achieving some private gain, so there
may he nations who will deliberately
plot to upset the eduilibrim of the
world in the hope OF profiting by a
readjustment. Is there anything short
of actual war which will repress such
nations?
One interesting suggestion is nom
intercourse. We know how when la
dies wish to punish each other they
usually avoid street fight If there
is some woman who has shown her
self to be no lady, the others refuse
to have anything to do with her. We
can smoker at the process if we like,
hut after all it is more dignified than
fisticuffs or a hair-pulling contest.
The value of the illustration is not
very great It shows that the better
half of mankind settle their disputes
without war But the situation among
nations is scarcely analogous. Non-in-
tercourse among nations would mean
first of all the stopping of all com
muhication mail. telephone. tele-
graph and wireless with the nation at
fault II would mean the stopping of
all trade. Probably no modern ma
ton is so completely self-suffcient as
to be able to Withstand such treatment
indefinitely. But how much harm

Wilson'S Decision to Speed His

and Albuquerque Journal)
London, Dec. 23.-The determine
ton of President Wilson to advance
the date of his visit to Great Britain
has given an immediate impulse to all
plans for the epoch-making reception
intended to be accorded to him, but
the dramatic suddennescs with which
the scene of his first meeting with the
British premier has been shifted from
Paris to London is widely viewed as a
part of the presidents speeding-up
policy in the preliminary conferences
as showing that his Paris conferences
were highly successful.
The Westminster Gazette says to-
night of President Wilson's intention
to come to London that it is "of real
value that the American president
should be in personal contact with
more currents of British opinion than
could reach him at Paris
Agreement With Premier seen.
The Manchester Guardian says his
visit to London at this iuncture "sig-
nifies the president means business,
and forecasts an agreement between
the British premier and the president,
adding:
1--WE cannot doubt they will quickly
agree, and when they have agreed it
will be long step toward a general
agreement"
President Wilson is expected to ar
rive in London next Friday and to re-
main three or four days, The king has
postponed his departure for Sandring-
ham palace and, instead of spending
Christmas there, will remain in town
to welcome the president
The lord chamberlain's department
has charge of arrangements and this
may be taken as an indication that
Mr.. Wilson may be a guest of the king
during his visit. The king will be in
vited to stay at one of the royal resi-
dences probably Buckingham palace.
The city council yesterday authorized
the decoration of the streets in the
West End for the presidents visit

Besides the great political signfi-
canoe of his visit to London, there is

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
WHAT 1T REALLY MEANS
BY JOSIAH Il. REED.

Minor. The damage done to Germany
through loss of trade would be pre-
cisely paralleled by the damage done
to the nations that formerly traded
with her. The small nations on her
borders, Switzerland and Holland for
example, might suffer even more than
Germany. Even If the treatment Prov
ed successful in the end and Ger
many was obliged to capitulate, there
would be no way of repairing the
harm she had done. That's the worst
feature about injustice. After it has
once been committed, there is no way
of ever possibly making it right again.
Economic boycott is Interesting as a
suggestion and as an auxiliary would
doubtless be valuable But by itself
1t could never be sufficient. There
has got to be armed force somewhere.
But where?

TUESDAY. !. DECEMBER. "a, 1918
y DEMOCRATIC DAILY SOON.

The democrats of New Mexico are
preparing to start daily newspaper
in Albuquerque. While the matter
has been the subject of good lea
of jest the Journal has had little
doubt from the beginning that snct
party organ would be launched, While
it was talked at the beginning that the
paper would be issued in the after
noon, the Journal has been confident
that it would be issued each morning,
as now announced
The Journal has had inside informa-
ton regarding the ambitions of Will
liam Randolph Hearst for some time
Last spring Andrew j. Lawrence, who
was closely associated with M.
Hearsts enterprises both in San Fran
cisco and Chicago, and who had q
quarrel with Mr.. Hearst and then a
reconciliation, got all possible infor-
nation regarding the New Mexico
newspaper field.
There is but one night press service
open for third morning daily here,
that is the Hearst service from Den
YER That service is distributed by
telephone, as is the Hearst service ey-
erywhcrc.
Postmaster General Burleson, who
frequently writes for the Hearst maya
zines ana who is credited with getting
the British ban against Hearst news
lifted, has recently reduced night
phone rates to the lowest figure ever
known Whatever the rate was for
merly, it will be Just one-half that
rate after January 2S. The action by
Burleson was not taken for Hearst 5
special benefit, but it greatly benefits
him.
OF course, Mr.. Hearst has had some
trouble in New Mexico with the state
council of defense. lie has had trouble
in other states as well Likewise, Mr..
Hearst got the delegation from New
Mexico to the democratic national
convention at st. Louis when he was
a candidate for the democratic nom
nation for the presidency and should
be grateful for the compliment
Preposterous as it may appear,
Hearst still has presidential ambi-
tions. He was shaping his course 70
that end when he adopted his pro-
German policy before the United
States entered the war. Later he
made vigorous efforts, to square him
self with the people OF the country
by supporting the administration in
the latter months of the war.
BE it said for Hearst that nothing
has been brought out to show that he
ever received German money, or that
lie was aware that DR.. Hale, while on
his payroll was also being paid Sll,-
600 a year by the German govern
ment, as BernstorffS correspondence
with the secretary OF foreign affairs
discloscs.
Hearst made play for the Ger
man vote, but misjudsed the temper
of the American people. If he should
become a candidate FOR the presidency
he would be defeated as no other man
in America ever has been beaten AT
the polls.
