On one expedition that went to

took quite large feet and an i'm
mense convoy. Those troops We're pm-
barked. taken care of en- route. pro-
tected by the navy and landed in
France without an accident. That Is
q record of achievement which will
probably attract attention when the
war is over. When it is considered
that the United States has landed
nearly 100000 men in France and
that there has been such slight loss
on the way over II really points to
very effective work on the part Of the
navy of the United States.
Troop ships are commanded by navy
officers, the supply ships are handled
by navy officers. Naval vessels are

PEACE IS FOOLISH
NOT IN THE Beet INTERESTS OF

WHEN WELL MEANT.
BIG FIGHT STILL TO COME
One Lesson We Are Learning From
the War Is to Be Less Wastefui-
Fugitive Discussions of the Next
Presidential Campaign.
BY ARTHUR DUNN.

ShingtOn.-Possibly the people
who discuss and publish articles
about the early ending of the war do
MOI know that they are assisting in IA
SOFT OF German propaganda. To talk
about ending the war now OF seeing
the end Immediately Is not to the
Lest interests Of the government. Very
likely earnest people who want the
Germans well trOunced are among
those who talk an early ending Of the
var. Possibly they are NOT paciasts,
but over-enthusiastic Americans who
think that the successes that have been
won on the western front and the col
lapse Of Bulgaria means an early ca
piiulation Of the Germans. Such per-
sons should take reef In their i'm
Ggination.
Let us look back to Civil war days.
Grant captured Vicksburg in July.
1868, which opened the Mississippi
md cut the Confederacy in half.
Meade defeated Lee at Gettysburg at
the same time, but ii was April. 1865,
before the war ended. Between the
victories of Vicksburg and Gettysburg
and the final end there were the great
battles Of Chickamauga and Nashville,
ana Sherman's march 70 the sea. also
the Wilderness. Spotsyivania. Cold
Harbor, Sheridan's Shenandoah cam
paign and the siege Of Petersburg.
Those who read the story OF those
days. or hear the people talk who
participated in the events. know that
II was assumed that the Union cause
would succeed after Vicksburg and
Gettysburg, but II took nearly two
years longer to accomplish the final de-
feat of the Confederacy.
II must he remembered that Ger
many occupies nearly all Of Belgium
and large slice Of France. and that
II will require some very severe bat
ties before the Huns are beaten as
they should be In order 10 make sue
cess Of this war.

ed to submit to the governments as
ISOLATED against Germany necessary
terms OF such an armistice as will
fully protect the interests of the peo-
pies involved and insure to the asso-
ciated governments the unrestricted
power to safeguard and enforce de-
tails Of the peace to which the Ger
man government has agreed. provld-
ed they deem such an armistice pos
sible from the military point of view.
Should such terms Of armstice be
suggested. their acceptance by Ger
many will afford the best concrete
evidence of her unequivocal accept
ance of the terms and principles Of
peace from which the whole action
proceeds
1.-The president would deem him
self lacking in candor did he not
point ont in the frankest possible
terms the reason why extraordinary
safeguards must be demanded. Sign
ficant and important as the constitI-
tional changes seem to be which are
spoken officially by the German for
eign secretary In his note of the 20th
of October. ii does not appear that
the principles of government re-
sponsible to the German people has
yet been fully worked out or that any
guarantees either exist or are IN con-
temptation that alterations of prin-
ciple and of practice now partially
agreed on will be permanent
Moreover, 1t does not appear that
the heart OF the present difficulty has
been reached. 1t may be that future
wars have been brought under con-
troll of the German people, but the
present war has not been; and it is
with the present war that we are
dealing. 1t is evident that the Ger
man people have no means of COM
handing acquiescence of military au-
thorities of the empire in the popular
will: that the power OF the king Of
Prussia to control the policy of the
empire is unimpaired; that the deter
mining initiative still remains with
those who hitherto have been masters
OF Germany. Feeling that the whole
peace of the world depends now on
plain speaking and straightforward
action. the president deems 1t his
DUTY to say, without any attempt to
soften what may seem harsh words,
that the nations of the world do not
and cannot trust the word of those
who hitherto have been masters of
German policy, and to point out once
more that in concluding peace and
attempting to undo the infinite in
iuries and injustices OF this war the
government of the United States can
not deal with any but veritable re-
representatives. Of the German people
who have been assured Of genuine
constitutional standing as the real
rulers of Germany
"If il must deal with the military
masters and the monarchical auto
Gratis OF Germany now, or IL 1t Is
likely TO have TO deal with them la
ter in regard to international obliga-
lions of the German empire it must
demand, not peace negotiations, but
surrender. Nothing can be gained by
leaving this essential thing nnsaid.

Politicians disputed for more than
thirty years over the subject Of
building up merchant marine for
the United States. Various attempts
We're made to create merchant
marine by subsidy, but the subsidies
were never large enough to cause
Dny Roadway to be made. Four ships,
two built in foreign yards and adj
mitted to American registry, and two
built in American yards. were about
the only addition to the American
merchant marine as result of the
subsidy. Then there was talk about
changing our navigation laws. but that
war with Germany is going to create
Il merchant marine. We have beaten
the subsidy plan all To pieces. The
government Is building it's own ships
and manning them and they will be
ready for peaceable commerce after
the war ends. Perhaps the government
won't continue In the ocean carrying
trade. but there ought to he common
sense enough In the management of
governmental affairs to secure an or
ganization after the war which will
use the vast shipping tonnage that has
been constructed and make use Of the
men who have learned the sea. so that
the United States will take its right
full place among the NATIONS Of the
world In regard to carrying ocean traf-
fc.
