who went through Belgium. 1t
would mean trial by military co1rt
martial of the kaiser for culnes he
sanctioned. What they want is not
Justice, but E.ercy ami that IS what
they ought to ask for"
Il agree win the senator" re-
piled Senator Hitchcock, that the
thought of compromise of HOSTILE
ties while Germany ana Austria are
occupying a single foot of Belgium,
France or Italy, is proposterous but
the proposition is not simply one of
suspending hostilities.
One of the principles laid down
by the president" said Senator Hitch
cock, as absolutely essential is re-
storation of Alsace Lorraine"
Don't you think" suggested Sena-
| tor Lodge" that the plain English
of it is. that an almistice now would
! mean the loss of the war;"
! do not think that that is too
| strong n statement" replied Senator
| PoindeXter
Would Leave II to Foch.
1T seems to me that all of this dis
| cusson is rather academic" said
! Senator Nelson of Minnesota. "The
! question of an armstice should be
! left to the communicative of the
| allied armies Marshal Foch. Let Ger
1 many propose to him that she lay
| down her arms, lust as Bulgaria has
| done 1t should he an unconditional
! surrender | must saw that | am sur
! prised at the attitude of the chairman
| of the foreign relations committee this
morning
Attention was called by Senator Bo-
| rah to a speech made by President
| Wilson in which he said the United
| states could not deal with the govern
! ments of the central empires, because
thew were without honor, and added;
1--WE cannot come to terms with
them" but they must come to us"
| Senator Lodge said
'I do not believe the president has
| the slightest thought of agreeing to
/ any armistice at this time, | can't
I imagine II.
Wants No Scrap of Paper.
while we have no right to settle
| the form of the German government
| or that of anybody else, we do have
the right that when we negotiate we
| do it with somebody who does not re-
! gard treaties as scraps of paper.
1t is not question now Oh lhe
! fourteen points, or the eight points or
| four points or whatever they are. The
| question now is very simple. Ger
! many has begun q great peace often
! sive I predicted it hero August 20,
t It has come and every newspaper in
| the country blazons it in the headlines
! They treat it as if it were something
we are to deal with seriously at this
| STAGE
I 1.-THE German proposition is an ar
! mistice to discuss the terms. They
| propose to enter long discussion of
| the basis of peace. An armistice now
| would mean simply the loss of the wal
| and all we've fought for.
1.-THE mischief now is in discussion
| When Ceremony holds UP her hands
| and saws. We're beaten; what terms
/ will you impose? then the United
States and the allies can tell what
| terms they will impose"
Senator Ashurst, democrat of Ari-
IONA, branded as the supreme joke
of the century and the greatest piece
of irony" growing out of the war, the
chancellors careful regard as ex-
pressed in his statement before the
reichstag against the shedding of fur
Their blood. He declared the German
| iunkers and the kaiser not only arc
| red handed, but have yellow heart
and they should be told what are the
| peace terms when the allies march
into Berlin.
