MILITARIsTs MUST ACKNOWLEDGE DEFEAT.

President Wilson has notified the German govern
ment that it must apply to Marshal Foch on the battle
field for armistice terms. -,
That means unconditional surrender was the verdict
reached by the inter-allied council at Versailles.
Prussian military leaders, are h~esitating to ask for
what they know in advance will be most Illuminating
terms. Their dreams Of world domination are gone for
ever and their armies are broken and defeated, but more
than anything else perhaps, their pride deters them from
asking the allied commander in chief for terms winch
will stop the useless slaughter of their soldiers. Inc al
lied representatives no doubt put the matter in this way
in order to humble their pride by forcing them to &C.
knowledge military defeat. Terms might have been
transmitted to the German government just as drastic
but even if they were accepted, Hindenburg and Luden-
dorff would always contend that their armies were not
defeated in the field.
That is why the fighting will go on until the COM
mander of the German field armies sends his ENJOYS
under a flag Of truce and asks for armistice terms, which
can only be the preliminary step toward surrender.
Meanwhile the great armies go right on about their
business of winning the wa and reducing the Central
Powers to the smallest possible remnant OF military power
and prestige. ..,
On the western front the French, Belgians, British
andAmericans 90 ahead battering the weary Germans, in
creasing rather than relaxing their efforts. And we note
with special interest the fact that the American troops,
holding the most crucial part of the line, where the Ger
mans are fighting hardest to prevent a strategic disaster,
are using bigger and more effective guns than have yet
been used anywhere in this war. The Italians have utter
w crushed the Austrians and forced their unconditional
surrender.
There is inspiration in the example OF our armies.
Let the people at home stick to their war tasks In the
same spirit, until authoritative word comes that the war
is ended, and then we shall soon have the peace we want.

FoRGIVING OUR DEBTORS.

George w. Wickersham, former attorney general OF
the United States, insists that we should literally forgive
the war obligations of our debtor allies. He would like
to see America send a receipted bill to Great Britain,
France, Italy and Belgium.
1--WE can afford to do it" he explains, "in view of all
they bore and suffered in the years before we entered the
war to hold the line against the Hun and keep autocracy
from crushing democracy"
There is no question of the huge moral debt we owe
the nations which, while fighting for self-preservation,
have fought at the same time for free civilization every
where, and have stood between Germany and the United
States. They were literally fighting our battle for years
much the war is costing us now, it would have cost us
vastly more if we had been obliged to face German aggres
sion alone, now or hereafter. And we should certainly
have had to reckon with Germany some time, in any event

Our political editor wishes to be excused today from
telling exactly why the elections turned out as they did,
because it isn't just as clear as it might be yet what did
happen. Experts can always explain, to their own salts
faction at least, almost anything---after it has happened.
course if they could explain it in advance they would
not be experts, but prophets. For instance, if the demo-
Gratis continue in control of congress our political expert
can explain very easily why the people voted that way
and if it turns out that the republicans have gained ascen-
decy, his explanation of why it happened will be just as
lucid and convincing.

Nevada, which has been hotly contest
ed by the republicans, were not eonclu,
sive up to an early hour.
On the most definite figures obtain
able, the republicans will have control
of the senate by a majority of four, III
dieated party division being fifty re
publieans and forty-six democrats. The
present senate contained 80 democrats
and A republicans.
In the contest for the house of rep.
resentatives the republicans have ap
parently gained "a seats from the DEM
ocrats and the democrats eight seats
from the republicans. These figures
made the next house stand: republicans
226; democrats 200, with eleven seats
still in doubt.
Gains by the republicans include
four seats in Kansas, three in Indiana,
two in Pennsylvania, two in West Viz
ginia, two in Ohio, two in Nebraska,
two in New York, one in Kentucky, one
in Missouri, where Champ Clark, dem.
ocrat, was apparently defeated; one in
Maryland, one in New Jersey, one in
Rhode Island, one in Colorado and one
in Delaware, making "a in all. The
republicans, however, appeared to have
lost the republican seat held by Stat
ford of Wisconsin to Victor Berger, the
socialist leader, who is under indict'
fment for violating the espionage act.
Gains by Tie democrats in the lower
house include five from New York, two
from New Jersey and one in Massa

In the senate fight the republicans
held doubtful states, which were Rhode
Island, West Virginia, South Dakota
and Nebraska.
While New Jersey does not show q

of the seats to which Baird and Edge,
republicans, have been elected for the
short and long terms, respectively, was
