Fourth Liberty Loan quota assigned to Berke-

more ready to do it last Saturday when they
found that conditions were such as to prevent

1t is undeniably regrettable that the entire al
lotment was not taken by the people here. In
other communities similarly afflicted the quota
was taken and in many cases oversubscribed
But we are certain, on the other hand, that the
entire quota would have been taken here had it
been possible to push the sale as was done dur
ing the third loan The fact that nearly S15O. 900

cuss the matter any further,-to continue the
discussion of peace possibilities when America
does not intend to have any dealings with the
present authorities.
There is halfway promise in the German
reply to the effect that Germany is now MAX
ing governmental changes which will give the
people fuller share in the responsibilities of
the government. When these changes are com
plete and the distribution of power established
and when there has come change in the per
sonnet OF the government as evidence that there
has been a change in the powers behind the laws,
America will be ready to talk further terms.
Promises at present are worthless and serve only
to confuse public which, war-weary, hopes that
peace will come in some way. They count for
nothing in America and with the Allies.
There is more reason for ridicue than any
other feeling in the German hope that the "Unit-
ed States will approve no demand which would
be Irreconcilable with the honor of the German
people. That should be the least of Americas
worries The honor of the present German gov
eminent is something respected only by them
selves. Other nations have more reason to dis
count it than to respect it.
In her contention as to the unintentional de-
struction of life boats at sea and the destruction
OF property during retreats Germany only brings
down more shame upon herself by attempting to
defend such unrighteous and barbarous acts. The
world will not believe her because there is too
much evidence of wanton ruthlessness.
The reaction in America to the note will be
one OF strengthened determination to win the
war at all costs. 1t becomes more and more evil
dent that the only way in which satisfactory
peace can be hadis by debating it to a conquered
Germany. America and the Allies would have
Oeen ready and willing to give Germany terms
now which, while they would. be an admission
OF her defeat, would have saved her from hav-

All of which points to Col. Clarence w. Watson
as the logical selection for the upper house in

Among numerous other phenomena developing
out Of the war has been the selection by The Cow

in him the organizer and executive which is
fcult to see that such man, whose ability is
acknowledged by the Army authorities, would
be invaluable both because of his business train
ing and his active experience in war matters in
handling the problems which are to come before
the Senate.
If peace should come early in his term, that
same business ability would be tremendous as
set to the Senate in its consideration of recon-
struction problems. America has, during the
past four years. stepped forward to position
among the other nations of the earth where she

THE GERMAN EVASION.

Official information on the German reply to
President Wilson's note is lacking when this is
written. The unofficial and very brief sumnlar-
les published yesterday afternoon, however, point
very plainly to another exhibition of German
bungling diplomacy; and it is very unlikely that
the official text in its completeness will cause
any change in that estimate
We wonder how long it will take the Germans
to come to the point where they will meet fairly
and squarely the American demands It must
be evident to all who think straight that the
Allies do not intend, to begin with, to have any
dealings with the German government as at pres
ent constituted. That is the first matter to be
taken care of. Nothing can be or will be accom-
plished until Germany meets this primary de-
mand. Concessions on the other points would
be impossible until some alteration in the gov
eminent of Germany guaranteed the saactity
