 "President Wilson, Von Hertling said, "wants war until we are de- stroyed." No, but President Wilson and the American people and all the allies dc want to see Prussian autoc- racy destroyed, and they are deter mined that the war shall continue un- til the hateful thing is uprooted and the earth made safe for democracy. President Wilson has stated and re iterated the objects of the war; In his epochal Fourth of July address he said: "There. can. be but one issue. The settlement must be final. There can be no compromise. No halfway decision would, be tolerable. No half way decision is conceivable"
 The ends, the President pointed out, for which the associated peoples of the world are fighting and (which must be conceded them before there can be peace" embrace first of all "the de- struction of every arbitral power any
 where that can separately, serectly and of its single choice disturb the peace of the world; or if it cannot be presently destroyed at the least its re- duction to virtual impotence" And second, "The settlement of every question, whether of territory, or sovereignty, of economic arrange ment, or of political relationship, upon the basis of the free acceptance of that settlement by the people imme- diately concerned and not upon the basis of the material interest or ad- vantage of any other nation or pep pie which may desire a different set clement for the sake of its own ex- terior influence, or mastery"
 The President held further that the
 consent of all nations to be governed
 in their conduct toward each other
 must accord with the same principles
 "of honor and respect for the com
 mon law of civilized society that gov erns the individual citizens of al modern states in their relations witl
 one another; to the end tnat all prom lises and covenants may be sacredly
 observed; no private plots or con spiracies hatched.'
 ! The President condensed these great
 objects into a single sentence, wher he said: "What we seek is the reigl of law, based upon the consent of thu
 governed and sustained by the or
 ganized opinion of mankind"
 l The German mind of today canno ] grasp vital truths such as those pre- sented by President Wilson; an' lJunkerdom is so inured to ruthless
 ness that it is absolutely blinded t human perspective.
 l Germany will fight on for awhil
 longer, possibly good while longer

 Perhaps it's true that the new Sultan of Turkey is broadly, but it isn't plain how anybody could know. How could the Sultan himself know? Our notion of Sultans is that up to the time they are Sultans they are kept in jail and never learn anything, which, indeed, is the object in keeping them in jail If this new Sultan is an All article he doesn't even know there is a war.

 and his generals were invited, said Joe Rosenberger,
 "After the lunch was eaten the hand ful of men sitting at the table near Gen
 eral Shell and her aides were dying to
 smoke, but no one had the nerve to light up. The case was put up to the re- scNrceful leader, who arose and in his
 sauvest fay, said: General Shell, when you ladies met with us you were kind
 enough to give us the privilege of smok- ing. We now wish to say that if your
 army wishes to woo Lady Nicotine. we
 men will not object. She was quick to catch the big idea, and laughingly said Go as far as you like in the smoke line. The way they got down to busi- ness would have tickled the soul of Dick

Each spring, under the present
