Germans IL, Fear
That Peace Terms
VIII Be "Too Severe

3. COPENHAGEN, Nov. 6.---The Ger
man press considers the Austrian ar
nistice conditions not only extraordi-
nary severe, but unjust and in viola
ton Of President Wilson's programme.
The frankfort Gazette" criticizes
the lack of mutuality regarding the re-
lease of prisoners and also the main
tenance Of the "hunger blockade, )"
while the Allies at the same time re-
serve freedom Of action" to make re-
auisitions on conquered land" The
newspapers expresses the hope that the
Allies will not try to impose similar
conditions on Germany. declaring that
this would mean that all that had gone
before -"wculd be trifiing compred with
the horrors to come"
The semi-ofiicial "North German
Gazette" referring to the lack of
reciprocity as regards the release of
prisoners says that history shows no
such conditions since the days of the
Tthenian prisoners in the lead mines
of Syracuse, The peace of Brest-
Litovsk, it contends, was admirable and
human comrred with the conditions OF
.he Austrian armistice.
The German press is greatly exer-
cised over the peace terms recently
proposed, By Viscount Northcliffe. Both
the North German Gazette" and the
Berlin "Tagcblatt" ask whether the
governments associated with the United
States accept President Wilson's peace
programme. with which, they declare,
viseount Northcliffe's proposals do not
correspond.

Bastins : Nightmare.


II there's one amusement we like better than
others it is beating up nightmare Of standing
Here. for instance. is this shark-toothed U-boai
nightmare. which we can now take by the ears bite
its nose and kick its shins plenty with our own
copper-toed boots.
Fifty ships of major size in Junel More
in July. Still more in August. We're going to
choke the seven seas with American shipping!"
Thus proclaims Bainbridge Colby, U. S. shipping
commissioner
Harking back to figures It is discovered that
Germany never has destroyed fifty major ships in
month, and, with the increasing means of putting
down U-boats so that they stay down, she never
will be able to do it. In other words, America
alone is going to defeat the U-boat Moreover
what America does in shipbuilding during the next
three months will be only the beginnings, only the
initial harvesting of year and more of prepara-
ton and organization. 1t will be far from DEM
onstration of what she can and will do. She'll be
able to choke the seven seas" before very long
Because she's Americai .-
OF course, there will be U-boats. There are
still some rattlesnakes in Ohio and plenty to be
found elsewhere, but folks don't wake up in the
night hearing them hiss and move into other parts

considered as a fatal bar to war aims, is a
dead one, and we take pleasure in kicking that old
nightmare about the bedroom.

Mr.. McAdoo.

When Congress authorized the government to
take over the American railroads and to operate
them as a unified system, two or three names
were suggested from which selection could be
made for the Director General of this world sur
passing unified system. There hints that
possibly the Secretary of the Treasury Mr. McAdoo,
might be named by President Wilson for this
office, and yet the feeling prevailed that so stu
pendous were the responsibilities which Secretary
McAdoo was already compelled to bear and of such
magnitude to be the new responsibilities, such
for instance, as securing billions in loans from
the American people and recommending to Con-
gress additional legislation that it would
be asking of man more than physical or
mental powers were able to bear to assume in
Treasury the difficult and very great responsible
ties which the Director General of the Federated
American railroad system must undertake.
The President, fully recognizing Mr.. McAdoo's
responsibilities as Secretary of the Treasury, never
theless was convinced that his appointment as D-
rector General would be in the highest degree ex-
pedent President Wilson has had opportunity to gain
intimate knowledge of the unusual mental power and
executive capacity we'll gift for organization
which the public now recognize distinguish Mr..
McAdoo. With perfect organization well system
atized detailed and yet simple in its construction,
would be possible for man who possessed in the
highest degree executive and organization ability to
direct both the Treasury Department and the Fed
Grated American Railroads.
There have been two at least since the
government was founded when a President has ap-
pointed one of his Cabinet officers additional
Cabinet post The most striking instance of this
kind the appointment of Benjamin F. Butler
in the administration of President Jackson to another
Cabinet office in addition to the one he already held
But there were no great national emergencies
unusual responsibilities entailed through the direc
ton of two Cabinet offices by hereto
fore.
While it is nomnally that the Director
General OF the American railroads is not in that
office, Cabinet officer, nevertheless this is really
a great department of the government and Secre-
tary McAdoo is serving practically in two depart
ments, first as the head of the Treasury and sec
ond as Director General of the American rail-
road system.
The wisdom of the choice of Mr.. McAdoo is
now recognized through his recent action in with
drawing the railroad presidents of the United
States from their posts and substituting for their
official responsibilities system of his own. It is
of course demonstration Of very great power'
Perhaps no man in any Federal administration ever
had greater power But it is also demonstration
OF very great organizing capacity and such
markable executive ability as is sure to cause Mr..
McAdoo's name to pass into tradition Of
the ablest executive forces the United States has
ever known

The Offensive Opens.

The Boche has struck again. He has launched
stiff initial blow in Flanders also in the Amiens
sector, and even to the south of that, between

1t may be that he has surprise shot. the nature

IS reasonably certain that every item of the eaua-

Which War Mother Gave Most?

Other mothers have given FIVE and four and

or all they could spare.
Who shall say that the mother of one has given
less than the mother of four seven?

a gift, and it is utterly impossible to man,
even though he be father of sons he sent away

Probably. and this is just msn-made guess.
the only measure is:
Has she given all?
The mother who gave her only son and the
mother who gave her each has made the
largest sacrifice human being can make, excepting
alone the supreme sacrifice Of those sons who lay
