American Naval Base, France.-(by

coast there is an American naval es-
adjustment which is a sort OF com
posite Of tho busy activity OF the navy
department at Washington and of one
of the big navy yards on the American
seaboard.
Vice Admiral Wilson, commanding
the American naval forces in French
waters, has his headquarters here, with
an executive staff CHARTERED in one OF
the largest buildings of the city, 'front.'

lean bluejackets are on guard at all the
entrances, and steady files of Ameri-
can a officers and sailors crowd
the corridors on their various duties.
The streets are filled with American
sailors on liberty parties" often 5000
and 5000 In a single party. And on the
water front there Is the hustle n ac-
tivity Of a huge navy yard. with
scores of American naval craft and
transports lying In the harbor. and the
shore alive with a vast naval installa-
ton.
Besides the rush OF the port itself.
this Is the naval administration center
for 800 miles OF the French coast, di-
Der OF the chief ports into which the
masses OF American men and material
are pouring. ,
Aside from the American transport
fleet which m and goes, there Is q
standing personnel OF officers and men
in these districts. with some 80 ships

yachts, mine sweepers and naval tugs.
The shore establishment Is on the Same
extensive seals, with aerdromes for
balloons and airplanes. great stacks of
coal and mammoth tanks for fuel oil.
Naval headquarters Is in constant
wireless touch with the whole range of
this naval activity, along the 800 miles

Concerning German People.
I There was a time when Washington
hoped with some degree of confidence
that the German people might over
throw their masters and express
themselves in terms radically different
from the speeches of the kaiser and
the German foreign secretaries and
chancellors. But the Brest- Litovsk
negotiations shattered those hopes and
ever since then the feeling has been
that the German people still were in
accord with the imperial governments
belief in a victory of their arms and
a militaristic triumph. 1t was that
establishment which caused Presi-
dent Wilson to lay aside for the time
being his exhortations of moral forc.,
force without stint or limit. That is
Americas peace policy today-force
without limit.
If the German people are themselves
disillusioned and will not merely re-
nounce their present leadership put
will take action that will convince
the world Of the effectiveness of their
Remuneration, there will be peace dis
cussion much sooner than by the proc
esses of peace feelers and roundabout
suggestions which Germany is adopt
ing today But when the time comes
for a peace discussion, it will be found
that President Wilson meant exactly
what he said in his earlier speeches
that the rights Of small nations must
be made secure against large nations,
that the causes of the present war
must be removed in the future ar
rangements Of territory and repara-
ton and that above all there must
be a league of nations to insure peace
and make the world safe for democ-
racy.

President Wilson set forth In de-
tail in fourteen specifications the
program Of the worlds peaces as he
termed it. in his address to. Congress
January 8. last. He said:
'"The program Of the worlds peace.
therefore, is our program, and that
program. the only possible program
as we see it. Is this:
II. Open covenants Of peace. openly
arrived at, after which there shall be
no private international understand
ings Of any kind. but diplomacy shall
proceed always frankly and in the
public view.
III. Absolute freedom Of NAVIGATION
upon the seas outside territorial
waters, alike in peace and in war, ex-
cept as the seas may be closed IN
whole or in part by international
national covenants.
Ill The removal, SO far as possi-
BILE, Of all economic barriers and the
establishment of an equality of trade
conditions among all the nations con-
senting to the peace and associating
Nv. Adequate guarantees given and
taken that national ornaments will
be reduced to the lowest point con-
sistent with domestic safety.
''V. A free, open-minded and abso-
lutely impartial adjustment of all
observance Of the principle that in
determining all such questions OF
sovereignty the interests of the popu-
lations concerned must have equal
weight with the equitable claims OF
the government whose title is to be
determined.

ing terms in the dark as suggested
In the note can result in no good,
but, fear, in great harm.
Dual Monarchy lettering.
The dual monarchy is totterin&.
IL has never been secure. The huge
majority Of her subjects are and have
been longing for q chance for relief
from the yoke Of the Hapsburg. The
millions Of Czecho-Slovaks in the
north, Jugo-Slovaks in the south
and others who. switched together,
make up two-thirds of the entire
population of Austria, are seeing the
rays of promise in our official recog-
milton Of their rights as people.
This spells dissolution Of the Hapsburg
monarchy. The note reveals the Sc
robustness 81 this situation and pro-
poses steps to forestall the inevitable.
Germany cannot be unaware Of its
effect upon the destiny Of the Hob
enzollern house, hence her acquies-
ence.
IF the rule of Teutonism ever en-
dangered the liberties of the world
that danger was never so appalling
and imminent as NOW. The world
must end that danger now or never.
To enter conferences on the basis of
the note means. In my judgment, for
four years of sacrifice all in vain.
1t offers time and conditions for sue
cessive crops of world tragedy To
do that now, when the enemy is driven
from post to post by the united pow
ers Of most of the world fighting
against the horde led by war-mad
autocrat, and at the time the enemy
of the worlds liberty is being girdled
with fire and flame, and is about to

crime against the suffering popula-
ton of western Europe and other
peoples trampled upon ruthlessly, but
a crime against humanity.
Plea Of the Bully.
1T is the bully who, having pros
trated his victim to the earth to
trample upon and crush out all ability
to resist his inhuman brutality, sees
the strength of his victim steadily
gathering and feels his grasp tight
ening, cries, Hold! enough! Let's
quit nowv The Teutons breaking at
home under the powerful grip Of our
Army on their front are sick of war
and wish to talk over 'unbinding
terms OF peace.
This report should be an end to
this peace offensive until the enemy
is on its knees. its armies surren-
backed this orgy Of crimes Of ter

Of their rulers. that this war shall
not only cease, but those responsible
for it shall guarantee against q repe-
