the United States, and the Germans
adopted and used it for their own pur-
pose in a sense to which We have never
agreed. Hence it's u~npopularity. But
until President Wilson defines it and
comes to discuss it with our govern
ment, there is no need to anticipate
difficulty about an agreement as to
what it means.
Freedom of seas'in times Of peace?
If so, we agree, If the question Is one
of the freedom of the seas in times Of
war, then l would say this: IHhe United
States, as we all most gratefully recog-
nize, has taken part in the last two
years in the war, Without the United
States w could not nave had the sue
cess the allies have now won. But
since the United States entered the war
she has not only acquiesced, but, l
believe, most strongly Co-operated in
carrying out the blockade of Germany.
In the early stages of the war the
blockade was not nearly so complete,
because the United States had raised
many questions about 1t, but in the
later years of the conflict the blockade
was made complete with the cooper
alton of the United States. without
that blockade success could not have
been won. Indeed, without the block
ade, Germany might have won.
Suppose this situation should exist

AND HEAD NOISES.

troubled with Catarrhal Deafness, head
noises or ordinary catarrh cut out this
formula and hand 1t to them and you
may have been the means Of saving
some poor sufferer perhaps from total
deafness. In England scientists for a
long time past have recognized that
catarrh is a constitutional disease and
necessarily requires constitutional
treatment,
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches are
liable to i~rritate the delicate air pas
sages and force the disease into the
middle ear, which frequently means to-
tai deafness. or else the disease may
be driven down the air passages to-
ward the lungs, which is equally as
dangerous. The following formula,
which is used extensively in the damp
English climate, is a constitutional
treatment and should prove especially
under more favorable climate condi-
tons.

BILE to prosecution.

Senator James Hamilton Lewis Of IL
linois, has given out a statement in
which he attributes his defeat for re-
election mainly to two primary causes.
The most potent 0: these causes. he
thinks, was President Wilson's appeal
for the election Of Democrats only in
order to insure the support Of the ad-
ministrations war policy. Senator
Lewis thinks the Republicans took this
as a reflection upon their patriotism
and bestirred themselves 70 extraordi-
nary patriotism on that account. Then
in the second place. the senator thinks
that the farmers Of Illinois let 60 on
him their resentement against the
president because Of his veto Of the bill
to increase the price Of wheat above
SO. We have no such understanding
Of the situation in Illinois as Senator
Lewis has. and as to what the facts
are we really do not know. We VEN
ture. however. that the senator got
what he got mainly because Of the alb
sence of the boys who could and would
have reelected him in France. In the
meantime the stay-at-homes, many of
whom count themselves the real pa
triots, are felicitating each other on
the fact that things are getting right
again"

PEACE WITH VICTORY!
Autocraey Overthrow and Democracy
Enthroned.

The armistice proposals OF the AL
lied powers and America have been
signed by the German High command
and the world war is over.
The news of the signing of the ar
mistce was given out from the state
department at Washington at $3.50 o.
clock yesterday morning. The rest is
to bc taken as n matter of course.
The aImistice terms, which were
explained by the president TO con-
gross yesterday afternoon, include
practically all that would have been
required in the case of unconditional
surrender. and there Is little reason to
suppose :hat there will be any further
fighting.
The German armies are TO be dis
mcmbered and demobiliZed and the
German navies are to be subject to
whatever disposition the Allied pow
ers see proper to make OF them.
Berlin is in the hands Of revolution
lists who have proclaimed peoples
government. and II Is practically the
same in the case Of every other capt.
tai in the empire.

Up to yesterday the revolution had

be giving anybody any concern.
