Friendless and Alono

\ r last Germany stands without the mil
~ itary or moral support OF any nation on
the earth. 1t is ringed about by determined
enemies and faithless friends. 1t has no ally
to lean upon or well-wisher to whom to turn
for help or for comfort. Austria and Tur-
key have followed Bulgaria in deserving and
leaving it to the fate which it has ordained
for itself
l. How long can Germany resist the pressure
Of such situation? How long dare its peo-
pie hold out against the combined armament
and the accumulated hate OF the powers ar
rayed against them? How long will they
have the blindness to protect and sustain 4
'goSernment which has brought upon them
this terrible isolation and threatens to over
whelm them with the might of resistless
armies?
Only Germany can answer these questions.
1t alone can decide whether or not it pre-
fers suicide to surrender. The issue is there.
1t cannot be escaped. Annihilation is certain
ii it chooses to fight to the death. Perhaps
there will be day OF salvation if it chooses
to lay down its arms, as have the defeated
peoples whom it led into war and would have
sacrificed as mercilessly to its ambitions as
1t sacrificed helpless enemies.
But the feeling will not down that Ger
many will soon give up the ghost as its allies
have done. 1t must know that it is doomed
to disastrous and deadly defeat if it fights
on. 1t might have felt few weeks ago that
it could hold at bay the furious armies of
the allies, but it cannot believe that when it
realizes that new armies, fresh from the field
of victory, are about TO be hurled against
its wavering columns.
Austria's debace releases the powerful al
lied army which has just shattered the re-
naming Austrian force on the Piave. There
are, perhaps, 100000 Italians, British,
French and Americans who are free to move
upon Germanys frontier Turkeys denoue-
ment means that another powerful army now
holding the Syrian and Mesopotamian fronts,
TO say nothing Of the Macedonian army which
completed Bulgaria's downfall, may now be
employed against Germany. On top OF all
this are the 100000 more Americans in
training camps at home waiting for the word
to embark for France.
Unless Germany is utterly insane in OBJ
Stinacy; unless it is stupid beyond the be-
lief OF men, it will make peace at the earliest
possible moment. 1t will not debate the
terms of the armistice which will be offered
but will accept those terms without delay
and seek to gain only 4 fair opportunity to
live after its armies have been disarmed and
It's stolen goods returned to their rghtful
owners. 1t is not too much to hope that
Germany will take this course before another
month has passed

Austria Out OF tho War

a / any other period Of the war the smash
ing offensive OF the Italian, British
French and American troops in Northern italy
would have awakened the enthusiasm OF the
whole allied world. II would have been
heralded as one OF the master military strokes
or the conflict, and put down as another
mark OF allied superiority on the battle field
before Austria signed the armistice terms
tne entente forces had driven the enemy far
beyond the PiaVe. They had shattered Aus
tria's defense system, captured tens OF thou
sands OF prisoners and recovered all the
ground they lost in the disastrous retreat Of
year ago.
but there was nothing decisive about this
OFFENSIVE beyond the crushing OF the invad-
Ing army. Italy and her associates were
hgnting beaten enemy. They threw their
weight against mere shell. They accom-
piished no result that waa not already or

Politics VS.. Loyalty, the Issue To.pay

L'lRES OF political passion have burned to
thelr ntehsest heat, party orators have
rung their various changes on the situation
wrought by the war, demagoguery has reached
It's height, eleventh hour appeals have been
made, every phenomenon peculiar to an Amer
lean campaign has been witnessed, and to-
day the voters will go to the polls to register
the verdict. The battle has been brief but
bitter--in some respects II has been the most
acrimonious since Civil War days-its effect
on the American people already has been
deleterious In distracting their attention from
the one great task they have in hand and
the results may be hurtful to the nation $;
prestige abroud, for, after all, however
may have been camoufaged, the
issue narrows down to one Of approval
or reputation Of President Wilson in

problems, and grant of continued power to

which has upheld his hands and supported
his policies since America plunged into the
conflict abroad.
Here at home, where these peculiar polit-
lcal methods are understood, il is realized
that Republican success to-day might Not
mean an appreciable change in the conduct
of the war or its result, and that Republican
effort now is merely TO wrest. from the Pres
ldent and his party the credit Of having
guided the great war-to a victory by arms
and glorious peace. but abroad there is no
such understanding. 4 Democratic defeat at
the polls would mean to the allies and, what
is Of far more vital importance, to Germany.
now in its death throes, that the American
people had found fault with Wilson's leader
ship and desired to curb and finally dispIace
him. There would be an Immediate loss NJ
prestige sowing OF the seeds of mfstrust
among the allies and the generation OF a
new hope in the breast OF Germany that might
lead it to fresh military efforts
SO to-day, for the first time in the life
or this young nation, voters, IL they do their
full duty, will go to the polls, not thinking
OF their political likes and dislikes as they
apply 10 domestic affairs, but with a mind
single to what effect their ballots will have
on the war, and how they will be regarded
in Europe, alike by friend and foe With
that thought uppermost in their minds. they
can 40 but one thing-support the admins

dained in the >disintegration Of the Austro-
hunsarian empire. II there had been no
drive on the Piave. it is possible that Aus
TRAN surrender would have been lust as nm
conditional as it was when the Austrian
armies were put out of business Before the
great battle began Vienna was pleading with
President Wilson for pence. Her PROVINCES
were in revolt. Hungary was setting herself
up as an independent nation.
Even So there is satisfaction In the Italian
offensive 1t is having its. moral effect upon
germany. 1t is further evidence Of the fact
that Germany's army will share the same fate
as that OF Its late ally II it decides to battle
on to the death. and 1t shows the Germans
that with Austria reduced to helplessness,
powerful and enthusiastic Italian army is
primed for its share in the greater victory
