A DAY OF SNOW.

1t is 4 brutal winter day, as com
pose this dea;hless verse: the snow is
deep. the skies arc gray, and every
hour it's growing worse. As from my
window look forth. see my neigh
borS 'toiliuS past; the wind comes
shrieking from the north, and they are
Keeling III the blast. They're truGging
through the drifts Of snow, and they
are cold and full of sleet, and yet they
show no sign Of woe--for this will save
the crop Of wheat! This storm is
worth ten million scads!" they cry, as
shivering they pass; for they are pat
riUtic lads. and aches and chilblains
cut no grass. My neighbors have no
fields of wheat, they don't expect to
raise peck; but still they smile. with
frozen feet, aud snowdriftS sliding
down the neck. The storm to me
means rheumatic; already. as l write
this line feel the symptoms through
III" whiz. and tie Il bowknot in my
spine. This snowy day 10 ME looks
sweet, although rheumatics abhor:
for snow will save the well known
wheat and wheat is bound 10 win the
war. Thus do we all. in divers ways,
some honest loyalty disclose; we'll
suffer through all beastly days, II that
will help to swat the foes.

ALL PROSPECTIVE

President Wilson has said that he
wants to be sure that the German
delegates to the peace conference shall
represent something besides the mill
tary party Of the German Empire. But,
It Is suggested, unless the peace con-
ference is to sci up novel rules OF
procedure, how is that to be deter
mined?.' 1t might be that President
Wilson'S own delegates at the table
will have their authority put under
examination.
II, as Is altogether likely, the next
Congress Is Republican, and, as we all
hope, the peace conference will meet
in 1919, would It be proper to ask II
the American delegates represented
Congress, or the army, or the FRESH
dent alone. or the whole Ameri-
can people? OF course, there can be
no such inquiry. II delegate to
peace conference can exhibit impec-
cable credentials and can establish his
powers to act, that Is all there is to 1t.
Whoever enters that conference Will
have to put up with the delegates
HhonrAthe Powers participating shall
send there. The President can select
the personnel Of the American deleca-
ton only,

TO THE BITTER END

: The declaration Of the supreme war
council Of the Allies, sitting at Fersail-
les, finding no approximation in the re-
ceut speeches Of the German and Aus
trian Chancellors to the terms outlined
by Premier Lloyd George and Presi-
dent Wilson, was rather Derfuactory
performance. The decision OF the
council, however, to continue the
vigorous prosecution Of the war until
.peace can be obtained based on the
principles Of freedom, justice and re-
spect for international law" shows
That all the nations contending against
the military despotism Of Germany are
In full accord, and that the; contest
viii now be pushed to the bitter end.
In straining for the kind Of peace
- United States stands committed to
lAoes not mean that all Of the fourteen
s1ecined conditions stated in Presi-
dant Wilson's last message must be

coed in gaining all the points. but the
essential conditions. those deemed
vital In the securemeut Of peace that
guarantees the world against . repeti-
ton Of the present woeful and wide
spread slaughter are and will be In
sisted upon. The main one, and all
others depend upon 1t. is the change In
the German government which will
make 1t responsible to the people. The
war lords Of Germany, so far, have
shown no disposition to relinquish any
of their autocratic powers. or make
good the promises they held out to the
German people OF actual participation
in governmental affairs
Nor need We expect much progress
towards that goal until the people OF
Germany are wholly undeceived Of the
monstrous lies they have been fed
with since the beginning Of the war.
The INSCRIPTIONS and selfish am
billions Of the militaristic government
imposed upon the people villainous
deception that they are fighting to
save their country from utter ext1nc-
ton. What an awakening there will
be when they learn the truth. One OF
the Allied officials recently pointed out
that the Germans continue to fight for
their country with a solicited fanati-
cism which Is kept intact. and which
Is kept white-hot, by the idea that they
are fighting for self-preserTauon. The
official who was commenting on 1t
said: IF we could only get that Idea
out OF their heads it would be worth
a dozen army corps to U.s."
There was a little hope OF such a
light breaking in upon the masses In
the recent strikes in Germany. The
iron hand of the military power has
suppressed that hope. but has not ex-
tineuishpd it. The present outlook Is
that there can be no acceptable peace
until the German militaristlc power Is
crushed or brought to repentance
through driving in the wedge Of gen.
timely democratic truth.

The Russian revolution shattered the
autocratlc ideal of Panslavisin In It's
place it set up higher Panslavism-
based upon the principle or Seit-deVel-
opment. unhampered by .dictatton from
the capital on the Neva
The Russian revolution did much
more than merely liberate tho Slavic
nations outside OF Russia from the fear
OF Russian domination. 1t demon
strated the full sincerity Of the new
spirit by plcdging to every race under
the Russian flag the same right to
free national life which 1t demanded
from Austria Hungary in behalf or the
Buhemians. the Poles, the Croatians ana
the SlovakS. and from Germany in De-
half Of the Poles OF Posen.
That change Of attitude is destined
10 usher in L world-fnrcc far more pow
erful than Panslavism could ever have
been under the autocracy. The nc"
Pansiavism pledges to every Slavic ma
ton. whether within or outside OF Rus
sin, complete liberty OF development on
na t!nnal and democratic lines.
No longer Is an oppressed Slavic ma
tlnn asked TO become an outpost Of an
autocratic Russian military advance.
No longer are the Austrian or the PruS-
sian Slavs urged TO jump out OF tho
Austrian or prussian frying pan IN or
der that they may fall into the Russian
fire.
The new PanslIvlsm Is no longer the
menace and the nightmare which the
western nations have found il in the
past.
The future Of the Slavic race Is sug-
grsted by the Russian plan for group
Of separate and independent republics,

Such a federation could exert a power
