Upon this forecase of possibilities
the North American hangs plant
that nobody knows what the President
will do except Mr. Wilson himself and
one other, that other being Mr.. Ed
ward Mandell House Then, it may
be asked. why attempt a forecast?
The same question may be asked con-
corning predictions coming out of
Washington, most of them more
friendly in tone than that of our Phila-
delphia contemporary. Since nobody
but the President and Mr.. House
knows, and neither is in the habit Of
. telling, why attempt prediction?
In the press comment on the speech
of Count Won Hertling there is an un-
mistakable tone of uneasiness. The
feeling is general, and it is warrant
ed. that the effort to win this war
by palaver is futile. and also that so
far as the talk game" has gone the
enemy has got little the better of it.
OF course able basic difference is that
when President Wilson demands a
peace founded upon justice he means
it, while Count Won Hertling echoes
his words without understanding the
meaning of justice.
IL MIR. Wilson has made any mis-
take it is in assuming that Vienna is
the point of attack, not Berlin. He
should now know that Germany. not
Austria Hungary, is running the whole
Teutonic show, and knowing that he
should get back to the solid ground
of his declaration to the Pope that
there can be no negotiation at all with
Kaiserism.
With regard to the implied criti-
cism in which the North American in
dulges, it may truthfully be said that
there is no essential clash between
Mr.. Wilson's four principles and his
earlier fourteen demands. The Feb
ruary speech did not necessarily rep
resent weakening from the position
taken in the January speech, although
II was seized upon by milk-and-water
"defeatists" in this country and by
Count Won Hertling as being in the ma
ture of a surrender When Mr.. Will
son laid it down as a principle that
there must be no piecemeal peace and
that there can be no peace which is
not founded on justice he clearly
meant that there is not the slightest
possibility of the kind of peace which
Count Won Hertling has in mind
The American people are not enam-
ored of this battle with words. II
IL must continue. however, they have
faith that the President will not per.
nit himself to be diverted by side is
sues from the one real issue. which is
that this world cannot exist hall

our regular Wednesday session with
Ambassador Page in his big pleasant
room at the Embassy.
"wen, boys, don't know what

in his customary genial way. Then
he proceeded to demonstrate in his
equally customary way that he knew
right.well what he couldn't tell us. The
Ambassador is the sort you wouldn't

When the weekly demonstration was
complete to the satisfaction OF alt we
turned TO the never ending topic Of
the censorship.
Last Saturday the United States de-
stroyer sank a German sub
marine which she had found feryenty

episode had various thrilling sidelights
and formed, we thought, just the sort
Of story to stir American blood Censor

The Ambassador was very sym
pathetic. Agreed that the publication
Of the news might be real service at
home: that too, much mystery about
the doings Of our fleet might have a
bad effect; that it was unfortunate
that most Of the truthful colorful pic
ure Of the war could not be reflected
In the newspapers, remarking that
future historians might flnd them
selves limited TO the dry uncnlighten-
ing Official reports.
The New York Times man was rather
bitter "The upshot OF the censorship

the correspondents are writing humor-

get the impression that either this

The Ambassador was sympathetic
genuinely. without question-but he
didn't commit himself to the opinion
that the censorship is entirely mis-
guided.

will be up bright and
early next Tuesday
morning, joining their
friends in a pleasant
party going in on the
morning train to Phil
adelphia, to Wanamak-
er's, and to the furni-
ture display, merely
"for to see and to adj
mire."
They will be well

proud of having got to-
gether the biggest and
usefullest Sale of furn-
iture in the world, with
wind, weather and war
against us, as was the

be more exact, as much
of it as can be display
ed within the limits of

at an estimate, about
$4,000 pieces.
Still more exactly
speaking, it's not likely
that any individual
eye can see, even on In
spection Day, all these

ly as every piece is
worth. more than a
passing glance. But

freedom of the Store,
to go about, to exam

much of it as they can
or as they wish.
Possibly some visitor
will possess the same
wondrous capacity as
had the enthusiastic
American girl on her

"Last night we went
out in a gondola on the

lay there drinking it

seemed so full before"
A RTISTS and con-
IA noisseurs will
