THE UNITED PRESS EXPLAINS.

The Capital Journal is inclined to think that it was
mistreated by the United Press, which furnishes it a leas-
ed wire telegraph service.
We do not mean to say that this was Intentionally
done but was no doubt the result of too great a desire to
beat rival press associations to the news.
The United Press has an explanation today blaming
the whole affair on thecable service and the censor. They
claim to have filed a c~ablegram to the effect that the
armistice had been signed, on the authority of Admiral
Wilson at Brest, France.
Later, the explanation says, the admiral announced
that the news was unconfirmed, and that their cablegram
stating this fact was !held-up, and never got through to
the United States.
We know nothing about this ourselves. We pay the
United Press for its full leased wire service. The a~ssocla-
ton has, heretofore, been reliable and enterprising. Their
explanation of the occurance Of yesterday will have to
stand for itself.
That the war is practically over is almost.a certainty,
and, since all information is to the effect that the ENJOYS
are in session, an official announcement OF the signing OF
an armistice may be expected at any time.
The Capital Journal regrets the %occurance OF yes
terday exceedingly because it prefers being reliable to
gaining a reputation for being enterprising.
If the United Press management cannot prove con-
clusively that they were honest in this instance and the
victims Of serious mistake on the part of cable Officials,
they will not continue very much longer to serve the
Capital Journal with news.

THE M MUST PAY.

In all our discussions Of peace terms, Americans
should never lose sight of the fact that Germany must
pay for the damage she has donoe in invaded countries,
and that nothing must be allowed to interfere with such
payment.
There lis a popular impression now that if the German
people promptly overthrow their government and estab-
lsh a responsible democratic government, they will be
allowed to evade the natural penalties incurred by Ger
many in the war she has waged against innocent nations.
Some penalties, no doubt, the German people may es-
cape or sfoten, if they act with sufficient celebrity and
honesty. But surely the allied governments do not intend,
and the allied peoples should not permit it if they did in
tend, that b yso doing the German nation may avoid its
just war bills.
There must be r~eparation to France and Belgium, and
to other nations whose cities Germany has destroyed and
whose lands she has ravaged withouot provocation. If the
property of the Hohenzollerns and their fellow-freeboot-
ers is taken by an awakened people and applied to that
purpose, well and good But it will nohgo far. There are
many billions to pay.
Any popular government that is the successor of the.
present autocratic government will inherit its pecuniary
obligations to creditor nations. A German republic may
disclaim some Of the heritage of dstrust and hate be-
queathed by the German Empire, but it cannot dlsclalm
the heritage of r~etribution for property destroyed.
The German property must make good the property
wiped out by Germans. Not only as the heir of the pres
entent German government, but as an accessory to the
government created by the German nation should pledge

again stares them in the face. What
we are witnessing now is the dcstruc-
ton of the system of railway tdmmu-
~nication which tempted the enemy in
to Belgium. The net result Of recent
operations is that of all these railway
lines only the one down the valley of
the Meuse is working properly. Two
are lost and of the remainder the one
through the Mouse valley is threatened
and the other Metz railway is working
in connection with a different base, SO
that the east and west wings Of the
German armies are now separated.
"The mouth of the pocket is now mar.
rowing and from Avesnes east Of tie
Normal forest, to Mezieres, where tho
Mouse railway enters the cover of tho
Ardennes, the distance is between so
and go miles. Through this narrow
passage the whole of the German armies
now in France have to squeeze and
there is only one railway in this region
which is working freely. In other
words, the waist of the German lines
say between Lille and Verdun, has been
compressed to one-third of it's former
dimensions. That gives some idea Of
the agony through which the German
army is now passing.
"Nor is the worst of the compression
over. The enemy, for very good rea-
sons, held out on the line of the Aisnc
as long as he could. That line is now
lost on its whole length, thanks to the
renewed activities Of the French and
the recovery of the American army
from its transportation difficulties and
the real squeeze Of the German army
is only just beginning. Worse still, the
bottle neck through which it is passing
is a narrowing one and congestion, in
stead of decreasing, will tighten. 1t
may even be doubted whether the
Mouse line will be tenable. In O SEN
tenee, the military situation is most
desperate for the enemy.
"'He isNin danger of having a large
part of his army cut off and finding
the way for his retreat from the Aisne

RUTH DIMES WITH HER EN-

than to refuse.

paratory to going to dinner. She had
worked with MI. Mandel until a little

She was thankful for the waiting
taxi. 1t would rest her a bit.
"You are very tired" Mr.. MandcI

AS he said it, Arthur Mandel won
dered how long it was wise to hide
what he knew from Ruth. Wise for
him; his hopes of winning her. She evil
IDENTIFY knew nothing. Had he realized
that already Ruth was terribly jealous
of Mollie King, that she knew of some
of Brian's visits; he would have hest
tated no longer. But he supposed her
entirely in the dark except perhaps that
day when she saw them when they Wis
tied Washington Square on business.
They had a delightful dinner. Man
del insisted that Ruth drink a tiny
glass Of champagne.

when she objected, and so once more
she did as he asked rather than discuss
the matter further.
When they finished he put Ruth into
A taxi, babe her good night, adding;
"Don't hurry down in the morning.
You need the rest"
''Was ever employer so kindq' Ruth
wondered as she leaned back in the
corner Of the cab. All through dinner
he had chatted brightly, told her inter-
esting stories and anecdotes of people,
without taxing her in the least to do
her part to entertain him, She had
been grateful. She did not feel like
stalking and it had been q relief to know
it was not required Of her. And some
way she knew that Arthur Mandel
knew she did not want to talk; and SO
had saved her the necessity.
Ruth was just the type of a woman
who appreciated such delicacy of atten-
ton. She thought much of Man,lel as
"a consequence. She regarded him as
the kindest, most thoughtful mar she
ever had known. Occasionally she won
dered idly why he never had married,
and was rather pleased that he had not,
although she could have given no rea-
son for the. feeling.
She went directly to bed when she ar
rived home and fell asleep almost inn
mediately. She had not intended to;
she meant to wait for Brian and tell
him of her nice dinner, and hear how
he had got along with his typewriter.
But she really had been very ~fatigued,
and so had slumbered, regardless of her
intent TO remain awake.
She woke with q startl she must have
fallen asleep. But Brian was not yet
in, so she could not have been sleeping
long. He had said he would be home
a little after nine if he had his lessons
early; and it had been just nine when
she lay down.
She looked at the tiny clock on her
dressing table. 1t was after eleven. She
had dozed nearly two hours. Where in
the world was Briane
She went to the window to watch
for him.
Just as the clock struck twelve she
saw him. Some impulse, for which she
could not account, sent her scurrying
back to bed; and made her pretend to
be asleep when Brian switched on the
lights.

Late as Before.

Most workers pull down princely wages, reward of

I'm afraid the undertaken will skin me when l die. On
