you ask me what my war aims
are" said NJ. Clemenceau, the new pre-
mier of France. MY aim is to be
victor" Laconic, but pointedly spe-
citic for the immediate hour. Nothing
now is more important than victory.
Discussion of terms is wise and neces-
sary there are issues involved in vic
tory that must be foreseen. But how
the enemy can be defeated is the fore
most question. We take NJ. Clemen-
ceau means that he is prepared to sub
ordinate all particularistic aims, all
minor differences of opinion, to the
one great purpose, says Chicago Post.
None of the many things that France,
Great Britain, Italy, Russia and Amer
lea hope to see achieved by this wal
can come about until the enemy is
conquered. No better slogan could be
found to express the unity of aim and
effort sought by the worlds fighting
democracies than this phrase of Glenn
enceau's. Let us say it together: "Our
aim is to be victor!"

The best food advice that has been
given the public lately is easy on the
food panic" 1t came from Buffalo
wholesalers, who added: "Tell the
public that there's plenty of food and
to stop rushing the groceries and buy
ing supplies in neeedlessly large guam
titles" Easy on the food panic! Don't
get excited over food shortages, says
Buffalo Express. There has not been
any serious food shortage as yet.
There Is not likely to be any serious
food shortage. Such q thing as that
raid on local salt supplies on Friday
would be ridiculous if 1t did not have
a possibly serious aspect. Dc not buy
to hoard; buy for normal needs. Just
remember that everybody cannot lay
in>a supply of this, that or the other,
to last six months or three months or
two months, without creating a fcti-
tious shortage. In these war times we
must be normal-normal in u occu-
pations, normal In u pleasures, nor
NAL in all our activities, and above all
else normal in the purchase of our
supplies. In other words, let us be
sane.

The desire to break up the entente
coalition at any cost is so intense
among the Germans that we must an
ticipate that, at the psychological mo-
ment, they will even go so far as to Of
fer to restore Alsace-Lorraine to
France, Andre Cheradame writes in
Atlantic. AS for the sincerity of such
an offer, these words of Macmillan
Harden, written early in 1916, enable
us to estimate it: "If people think in
France that the re-establishment Of
peace is possible only through the res
titution of Alsace-Lorraine, and if ne
cessity compels US to sign such a
peace, the 20, 900 of Germans will
500 tear it up. Moreover, nothing
would be less difficult for Germany,
thanks to the effective forces of the
central pan-Germany, than to seize AL
sace-Lorraine again, very shortly, hav-
ing given it up momentarily as a tao
teal maneuver."

Hindenburg is confident we can't get
a big army to France and that even if
we could we wouldn't because we are
afraid of Japan. Maybe Hindenburg
has inside information on that point,
a Y Louisville Courier-Journal. May
be he Is in the confidence of thinner
mann, who got up that little scheme
to have Japan and Mexico come over
and apportion out the real estate Of
Uncle Sam. Maybe he knows the
whereabouts of Zimmerman himself,
who has completely disappeared from
the eye of the world. Maybe he knows
that Tim is at this moment either in
Mexico or Japan preparing to pull off
that coup in person.

moved. A man who prefers his ade-
noids to his country in such a crisis
as this must be convinced, even by
harsh measures, that self-sacrifcing
patriotism is nothing to be sneezed
at, and that he and his cherished
adenoids are justly consigned to per-

REPUBLICANS REALLY ADJOURN POLITICS.


Now we are well into August and
the fall elections are but three months
away. Most members of Congress have
been home and in touch with their con-
stitucncics. have held anxious ears TO
the ground and have scanned the polit-
ical landscape and horizon. They have
had time to study all the signs. symp-
toms and portcnts and.to signal results
to headquarters. Evidently the Rcpub-
LEANS. supposed TO be the opposition
party have not found a suggestion Of
any general issue on which To make
campaign. Chairman Hays OF the Ma
,ional Congressional Committee, his
established and proclaimed organ. the
National lntclligcncer. and his writers
present no point of difference between
the two parties.
Weeks ago the prediction in this
column was that the Republicans would
have no general issue ana practically
no campaign for the elections unless

More German tiudcsty

CONDITIONS under which Germany is will
~ ing to make peace, announced to the
Reichstag by Chancellor Herting. are
Sc modest as to make the whole world Won
der why the war continues how the allies
arc able TO find any ground upon which to
stand; why another life should be lost in
battle or another ship sent to the bottom
by the hand of a hostile torpedo. What has
teen war in, the past must be murder in the
future. if Germany's friendly and altrusti:
proposals are cast aside
Just glance for minute at the terms OF
the Hertling peace. All that Germany de-
sires is the unmolested opportunity to swal
low the empire of Russia. an uucont ested
title to Alsace-Lorrane. the complete alb
sorption of Rounania, the return OF all her
colonies economic equality with the allies
after the war is over and few billions OF
dollars in indemnity. OF course. Austria
must be taken of in tho return to her of
her oppressed peoples and the cession of
certain more or less valuable territory in the
Faikans. Little is said about Turkey and Bull
garia. but bone or two probably will have
to be thrown to them TO silence their
g-owling
In return for these simple concessions, Ger
many is willing to discuss the future of Bel
GUM. No promise is made regarding that
suffering nation, but it will be used as con-
Nenent pawn TO be shunted about the board
when the peace council assemblies. Poland
IS to remain under German influence which
means under German domination The seas
are TO be thrown open to Germany, and it NAV
bo supposed that she will request the return
Of her captured shipping.
After surveying these conditions it is diff
tcult to understand why the war does not

months past. 1t has been clamored for more
vehemently since it realized that peace

Seriously. was there ever anything more
udicrous than the plan of peace which the
German Chancellor outlined to the Reich
stag: Would any other than the German
nation upon the face OF the world be brazen
enough even to suggest such a termination

iCnker statesman be guilty OF such an absurd
s'atement? There may be some verbal re-
sponse from the allied governments to this
program. but there should be none The
only lifting answer that be made is the
thunder Of British. French and American
cannon. the shout of relentless millions OF
alned soldiers and the incessant rattle of our
fiNes. This is the language which the enemies
Germany should use in making reply to
