Conditions for Obtaining Peace
Have Been Framed by Inter-
Allied Conference.
EMPIRE STANDS ALONE
Forsaken by Her Allies, Germany,
Power That Aimed to Dominate
the World by Force, Is at
Threshold of Defeat.

London, Nov. 6. - Now that Ger
many's allies have been beaten and
forced to accept terms for cessa-
tion of hostilities against them tanta-
mount to abject surrender, the diel
now is to be cast in front of the
Hohenzollern dynasty.
The inter-allied conference sitting
in Versailles has drawn up the terms
under which Germany may have peace
and the indications are that these
terms will be no less hard than those
imposed on Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria
and Turkey.
Forsaken by all her allies, Ger
many, the power that hoped to be able
to dominate the world by force, Is at
the threshold of acknowledging defeat
by capitulation or continuing a strug'
gle which means her ultimate utter
defeat.
\ nquished Shorn of Power.
Tie terms accepted by Austria Hun
gary, Bulgaria and Turkey have shorn
all these states of power. Those inn
posed upon Germany surely will be no
less severe in rendering that country
powerless to resume hostilities, even
in the far distant future.
Meanwhile pending the presentation
of the dictum of the Allies the Ger

Tried and Not Found Wanting.

There are no arguments against
ssVotes for Women" and this particu-
larly true in America. In England,
Premier Asquith offered the best one,
vet it went down under the test. His
stand was that in the event Of war,
women would lack determination to
see it through and would permit
their feelings as mothers, wives and
sisters to get the better OF them ana
bring terrible consequences to the
nation. The war came and the hero
ism, patriotism and endurance Of
English women has not only furnished
material aid but inspired English men
to do more and still more for the
crown. They have earned their votes
and their most powerful opponent,
| Mr.. Asquith, acknowledged his error
Of estimate in woman's character by
voting in favor when the house OF
commons voted to give English Wo-
men citizenship.
