The kaiscrS peace note is a grim re-
minder Of that circumstance in the Ar
gonnc forest last week. where the
trcacherous Germans. after surrender
ing sought To destroy the Americans
with hand grcnadrs. The kaiser knows
full we'll that the United States badly
needs that $4,000. 100000 loan that Is
being asked for to pay for the prcpara- :
tions that are being made TO put him
ont of business. He knows also that
IL il Is to be immediate peace the peo-
pie Of the United States will not feel
inclined to put money in that loan. He
is talking peace as a blind. TO disaim
further aggression. If the lean falls
down American efforts will be relaxed
and he will get a respite and delay
with all the attendant favorable pos
sihilities for himself. If he is honest
let him withdraw his troops from all
invaded territory. announce his will
inCncss to make amends for all the
he has wrought on inno-
cent peoples. and TO give up all claim
to Alsacc-I .orrainc. and the Italian
speaking provinces that are held by
Austria. II he really wants peace he
can get II: hut ne will get only the
peace that the Allies propose. In the
meantime. let all good Americans buy
bonds.

we do fault Mr.. Benet for making a

the past few days that seemed to be
worth repeating.
- The streets have had such de-
serted appearance for so long. espe-
cially since so many OF the young men
have been called to the war. that the
big crowd in town last week struck
folks as being out of the ordinary
As n matter of fact the crowds were

Mr.. Christie Benet was appointed to
the United States senate at the pleas
ure Of Governor Manning without any
Of the people. very few
OF whom knew there was a Christie
Renet until after his appointment to
the senate. When Christie Benet found
II necessary to go before the people to
ask them to send him to the senate he
gave as reason the necessity Of hav-
ing somebody in Washington who
could be depended upon to back zip
the president. who would do whatever
the president wanted done. The one
great issue in the senate was the ques-
tion OF submitting to the states the
question OF adopting a constitutional
providing for woman's
suffrage. There was very considerable
on the subject: but the pres
ident was very anxious for the passage
Of the resolution. So anxious was he,
in fact that he sent the senate a strong
urging the adoption of the
resolution as a war measure. This was
the first and only request that the
president had made on Mr.. Benet since
he has been a member Of the senate;
