BEYOND PRAISE
LFrom the ~ York TrIbunel /.

Mr. Wilson's address to Congress
yesterday will live as one Of the great
documents in American history and one
OF the permanent contributions OF
America 90 world liberty In form as
In substance the Presidents statement
Is beyond praise; he has spoken what
his country felt; he has translated from
vague aspiration 10 clear and definite
fact the war aims Of his fellow coun-
trymen.
In very deep sense Mr. Wilson's words
constitute a second Emancipation Pro-
clamati0n. AS Lincoln freed the slaves
Of the South half a century ago, Mr..
Wilson now pledges his country to
nght for the liberation Of the Belgian
end the Pole, the Serb and the Ruman-
Ian. For the long suffering populations
or Alsace-Lorraine and the Italian r.
redenta the words of the President OF
the United states are a promise Of
freedom after a slavery worse a thou
sand times than that OF the Negro.
u IS not 10 the comment upon the
details Of the Presidents proposal that
attention will be first directed. There
IS something far greater, far more ap-
peallng than the details, however ad-
mlrable. In a sense the President has
created, has visualized TO whole
world, the role Of America in the time
Of supreme tragedy. Without a selfish
ambition, without hope or covert
thought OF selfish advantage. the Uni
ted States has entered a world war to
restore Justice, honor. liberty in
world assaied by German barbarlsm
and German ambition.
And it IS not In pursuit OF any alb
stract ideal Of Justice or liberty that
the President leads his fellow country
men He has defined the frontiers and
written the constitution Of that new
world for which we Tight He has heard
the cry Of subject races and ne has
listened to the appeal Of the weak ana
the enslaved He has turned his own
eyes and the vision Of his nation upon
wrongs that must be righted before
there can be peace or thought Of peace
President Wilson has done nothing
finer; there is nothing more admirable
in American history than his address
OF yesterday. In O single speech he has
transformed the whole character and
broken with all the tradition Of Amer
lean policy. He has carried the United
States back to Europe; he has estab-
lished an American world policy and
ideal Of international policy through
out the civilized world

because he has made America mean
something more than It ever did before
for us and for the world
In a very real sense Mr.. Wilson is
leading his people on what may prove
the last crusade. We are going 10 res

Serbia from a slavery worse than

are going to rescue human liberty from

lie has Illuminated them; he has es-
tablished them, and they will remain
established IN the American mind and
heart until this great struggle has that
settlement which alone can bring real
peace No one can now ask for what
we fight or on what terms we Will
make peace.
Leadership, after all. consists in
arOusng i'm the millions not q sense
Of obedience, but a desire to follow.
The greatest single merit Of Mr. Will
sons latest address Is that It viii con-

conviction that Of right and with full
accuracy and accepted authority he

to have spoken the will OF n hundred
million in the presence Of one Of the
greatest crises In all human history.
Reading Mr. Wilson's words, every
American must feel he has lived
through one Of the great moments OF
national history.
The country owes a debt Of gratitude
TO Mr.. Wilson; the nations more direct
lv assailed by German arms owe an
equal debt He has given to them a
promise Of deliverance: he has assigned
to his fellow countrymen the noblest
rolo that citizens Of a free state can

Hun Deviltry Knew No Bounds
in Last Days of Fighting.

With the British-American Armies,
Nov. 20 Correspondence Of The AS
sociated Press)-German deviltry
seemed to know no bounds in the last
days of the fighting on the British
front after the Hindenburg line had
been shattered. They attached gren-
ades to the bodies of dead Huns left
behind in the German retreat, so that
when the bodies were lifted the
grenades exploded, killing or wound
ing the bearers.
Near the town Of LIE Cateau, q num-
Der Of Australian stretcher-bearers
were killed by these grenades in at
tempting to remove some German
dead from the. field in front of an
American machine-gun position.
Thereafter no Australian would put
hand on a dead German. In some
cases the bodies were dragged to their
burial places by means OF a long
rope which allowed the stretcher-
bearers to keep out Of range of any
exploding hand grenades.
The Americans, on the other hand,
hit upon the plan Of making the Ger
man prisoners bury their own dead.
In one instance u Boche prisoner was
summarily shot because he refused 20
remove the body Of one Of his dead
companions An examination Of the
body later led to the discovery that
It was mined. The German was
aware of this fact and refused 10
ouch it.
In one small town evacuated by the
Germans, many Of the beds were
found to be mined An American Of
hcer, tired and worn by a long and
hard fighting sought rest on lounge
in a room previously occupied by q
German officer. The lounge blew up
and he was instantly killed.
Another officer picked up pair Of
field glasses left by the Germans and
was adjusting the focus when the
glasses exploded in his hands and
blew away a part Of his face.
The Huns had become adept in the
ncfarious business Of making Internal
machines. mines and time fuses and
there was scarcely an area where the
electrical and engineering experts OF
the allies did not find some new form !
IF their fiendiSh ingenuity.

Retains Restrictions
Food Administration to Prevent
Profteering.

Columbia, Dec. 5.-In order that
no misunderstanding may arise among
licenses with regard to the effect OF
the armistice upon rhe regulations of
the food administration, it is stated
bv the food administration. and
made perfectly clear, that the regu-
lations are not annulled by the armis-
tee Notifications have been made
by the food administration, but the
specific regulations limiting margins
Of profits and. preventing boarding
have not been removed, and there is
no present intention on the part of
the food administration Of dropping
these restrictions, which will be rig
idly enforced, it is said.
The world needs at the present time
are perhaps for larger amount Of
food than before the signing Of the
armistice brought the fghing to an
end This comprehends food Of all
kinds, with the possible exception Of
wheat, OF which there is reported to
be plenty The people of many coun-
tries are looking to America for
food, and the food administration has
designated this week as Conserve
ton Week for World Relief" the idea
being to impress upon the public mind
in every possible way the vital neces-
sity of continued food saving in or

pie may not have been liberated to
