1t is now possible to assess the

1t is now possible to assess the
consequences of thin great consurn-
nation. We know only thai this
tragical war, whose consuming
flames swept from. one nation to an
other until all the world was on fire,
is at an end and that it was the
privilege of our own people to enter
it at it's most critical juncture in
such fashion and in such force as to
contribute in way Of which we are
all deeply proud, to The great result.
We know, too, 1har the object of the
war is attained: the object on which
all free men had set their hearts,
ard attained with a sweeping COM
pleteness which even now We do not
realize.
Imperialism at AN End.
"Armed imperialism such as the
men conceived who were but yester
day the masters of Germany, is at
an end, its illicit ambitions engulfed
in black disaster Who will now
seek to revive it? The arbitrary
power of the military caste Of Ger
many which once could secretry and
of its own single choice disturb the
peace of the world is discredited and
destroyed. And more than that
much more than that-has been ac-
complished. The great nations
which associated themselves to de-
stroy it have now definitely united
in the common purpose to set up
such peace as will satisfy the long
ing of the whole world for disinter-
ested justice, embodied in settle
ments which are based upon some
thing much better and much more
lasting than the selfish competitive
interests of powerful states.
To Help the Weak.
There is no longer conjecture as
to the objects the victors have in
mind. They have mind in the
matter, not only, but heart also
Their avowed and concerted pur-
pose is to satisfy and protect the
weak as we'll as to accord their rights
to the strong.
Will Feed the Hungry.
"The humane temper and intention
of the victorious governments has
alrcacv teen manifested in a very
practical way. Their representatives
in the supreme war council at Yer
sales have by unanimous resolution
assured the people of the central en-
pires that everything that is possible
in the circumstances will be done to
supply them with food and relieve the
distressing want that is in so many
places threatening their very lives
and steps are to be taken Immediately
to organize these efforts at relief III
the same manner that they were or
ganized in the case of Belgium.
All Tonnage to be Used.
"By the use of the idle tonnage OF
the central empires it ought presently
to be possible to lift the fear OF ut
ter misery from their oppressed popu'
: : lations and set their minds and en-
ergies free for the great and hazard
Gus tasks of political reconstruction
which now faces them on every hand
Hunger does not breed reform: il
breeds madness and all ugly distemp
ers that make an ordered life impos
sible.
