PEACE TERMS 0F
 BELGIUM GIVEN
 BY KING ALBERT
Demands Integrity of Na- tion and Preparation for
 Indignities.

Havre, Jan. 24.-king Albert, in setting forth Belgium's peace terms, in reply to Pope Benedict's peace note of last August, declares that iBelSium requires absolute political, economic and territorial. independ- ence.
 The note of the Belgian government says
 Thc royal government. as soon as it received the message of your holl- ness to the heads of the belligerents, hastened to reply that it would study with the greatest deference the prop ositions the document exposed in such elevating language.
 "At the same time it desired par ticularly to express it's lively and profound gratitude for the particular interest the holy father manifested in the Belgian nation and of which the document was new and precious proof.
 "At the outset of his message the holy father took pains to declare he had forced himself to maintain per feet impartiality toward all the bellig- erents. which renders more significant the judgment of his holiness when he concluded in favor of the total evacuation of Belgium and the re-es- tablishment of future independence and also recognized the right of Bel sium for reparation for damages ana the cost of the war.
 Awaited Allies Reply.
 "At the beginning of September the royal government informed his holiness that it must reserve decision regarding it's action on the proposi- tions contained in the message until the powers at war with Belgium had clearly made known their war aims. It added that in any case Belgium would make no pronouncement OH general peace conditions and the re- organization of international rela- tions except in full accord with the powers guaranteeing it's full inde- pendence, that have done honor to their obligations toward her and whose arms fight with hers for the cause of the right.
 "Nothing has modified the situa- ton that existed at the moment the royal government made known that point of view to his holiness.
 Demands Integrity of Belgium.
 "The integrity of Belgium, the ter ritory of the mother country and colonies, political, economic and military independence without condi- tion or restriction, reparation. for damage suffered and the guarantees against renewal of the aggression Of 1914-such remain the Indispensable conditions of a just peace, so far as concerns Belgium. Any settlement that would not recognize tEem would shake the very foundations of jus tice since it would forevermore be established that in international do' mains the violation of right creates claim for it's author and may become source of profit.
 Since the royal government year ago formulated it's conditions, it per mits itself to recall that the reich stag voted resolutions called peace resolutions. The chancellors and ministers of foreign affairs have fol- lowed each other in the German em' pire, and more recently Tn the cen tral empires. and have. published notes replying to the message oi ms holiness. but never word has been pronounced and never a line written clearly recognizing the indisputable rights of Belgium that his holiness. has not ceased to recognize and pro claim "

Purest Irish Blood.

The purest irish blood is not to bs found in Galway proper, for the town was long held by the English, and cen. turies ago 1t did an immense trade with Spain that resulted in mixed mar riages, producing sundry heads of black hair and black eyes. But across the little river, by the bay, is fishers colony where the oldest Irish blood is still pure.

At the Little End of the Horn.

How different states in different sections of
the country have Jared in the distribution of
army activities was brought out in recent speech
in the house by Congressman Robbins of Penn
sylvania, in which he supplies some significant
figures. Taking the initial expenditures for the
establishment of cantonments and military
posts and grouping them by states, he shows
that the amount spent in sixteen southern states
was S49O, 30699l, while the corresponding sum for
fourteen northern or western states was $780,
559222-more than half of which was spent in
New York, New Jersey and Ohio. Of the ap-
preparations allotted to these three northern
states the highest was $5l ,1O3,SS4, which went
to New Jersey, while the amount going to Viz
ginia and West Virginia was $1761O3472, to
Tennessee $6672,l00, to Alabama sol 1886, las
and to Maryland $59,187,441
At the bottom of the fist of southern states
we find North Carolina with $4,51S,76l and New
Mexico with $4OO7,s45, while the total expen-
dture in Nebraska was $549,266. Of course,
this cannot be charged so far as Nebraska is
concerned, wholly against "the south in the
saddle" with this present democratic admins
tration, because we have one democratic sena-
tor and three democratic congressman represent
ing this state at Washington, but it does show
how we have come out at the little end of the

A Prisoner from the Clouds

Among the many interesting and exciting
stories that have come down from what was the
St. Mhiel salient until its presidency was abol-
shed by the unfeeling American and French
soldiers is one which, so far as can be recalled
is without precedent-an entirely new revea-
tion as to the possibilities of aerial warfare
1t seems that Captain Charles Biddle-of
Philadelphia, naturally-whie flying at great
height encountered and fought with German
fer There was nothing new or remarkable in
that, of course, nor was it strange that at the
first exchange of bullets the German was
wounded and his airplane damaged. But the
Germans wound was not serious and his ma
chine was not so much injured as to be out of
control. That being the situation, Captain
Biddle, had he followed the usual procedure
would have finished off his helpless foe and
sent him crashing to the earth.
Instead, whether from Discrimination for the
performance, if it could be avoided, of duty
distinctly unpleasant, or because he aspired to
the glory of doing what no other aviator had
that the German should consider himself pris-
oner and should guide his machine to a landing
within the American lines. The alternative to
obedience was death, and the German aviator
obeyed
Now, it has not been expected that avators
should bring back trophies of this kind Aerial
battles have always been of the ultimate de-
clslveness except when one or the other COM
Blatant losing hope of victory, succeeded in
making his escape. Probably Captain Biddle
will not have many imitators. and he may not
himself ever have again just the combination of
circumstances and conditions that made his
achievement possible But he did bring home

Lend the Way They Fight"

One Of the most impressive slogans in con-
nection with the Liberty loan is: 1--WE must
lend the way they fight" Our boys are going
without question into the most Internal fight
ever dared by mortal men. For weeks we have
read of the brilliant exploits of American SOL
diers along the battle front. One great source
OF pride is that not an inch of ground taken by
Americans has been relinquished to the Hun.
This costs something. And just as those
splendid boys are pouring out their blood in
France for freedom and human liberty, so
should we get back of them with our dollars.
If they fail our money will be worth nothing,
and unless we do buy the bonds they will fail
for want of support. Do not let the kasers
words influence your decision in this matter,
unless it be that they make your determination
all the stronger Lend your money to the gov
eminent which is lending it to yourself that
we may redeem our solemn pledge to the world

Overlooked by Macmillan.

In his speech to the Reichstag, which really
was addressed to the world Prince Macmillan
overlooked some really important events. That
the tenor Of these is not especially favorable to
the cause OF Germany may in some measure &C
count for the omission. He prefaces reference
to President Wilson's expressed requirements
byrestating adherence to the resolution adopted
in the Reichstag in July, 1917, and to the lam
guage of the note of the pope in August of that
year.
When DR.. Michaelis assumed the Office of
chancellor of the German empire in July, 1917,
he expressly endorsed the course of Won Beth
mann-Holweg, and warmly commended the
U-boat warfare. Two days later the Reichstag
adopted resolution declaring for peace on the
basis of mo annexations and no indemnities /"
When Pope Benedict came to deal with this
phase OF the topic he urged on the belligerent
nations that the question of reparation be &C
commodated on basis of mutual condona-
tion," in effect that Germany be forgiven for
the monstrous wrongs committed against civil
ization.
How sincere the Germans were in the reso-
luton now brought forward by Macmillan is
evidenced in the case of Russia. The treaty
drawn at Brest-Litovsk provides for both an
nexations and indemnity. Russias best prov
inces were seized and created into German prin-
cipalities, and only last month the poverty
stricken, famine-ridden, disease-nfested and
bolshevik-cursed peasants of Russia paid a
billion of dollars in gold to the Germans as
portion of the indemnity exacted.
Such trckery and duplcity as this shows is
why the president says we eanont trust the Ger
man government. Americans must not forget
these facts while listening to the honeyed words
of Prince Macmillan, who has been especially
chosen to put something over

Perils of Overcontidence

We are warned against optimistic predictions
OF the end of the war; and the warning is based
on good sense 1t is fatal to underestimate
your enemy's kill, courage or resources in man
power and materials.
This is a war not merely OF armies, but of
peoples. We who have to stay at home are
soldiers of Uncle Sam. Overconhdence in the
field results in relaxation OF military aertness
and Is demoralizing. Overconhdence in the
Second Line, among the folks at home, is equal
ly harmfu1-and in a perfectly definite way.
Oyerconhdence tends to make US buy little
less than all we could buy of Liberty bonds and
war stamps: it makes us do little less Red
Cross work a little less "Hooverizing," little
less of everything we can and must do to back
uo the brave boys over there 1t makes the
sjedpe hammer in the shipyard swing few less
times day; the aeroplane fleet grows little
more slowly the Mill and mine machinery move
. little less productivity. And all these little
de6ciencies. based upon a false sense of secur-
ity. delay the end and increase the cost.
But we must not go to the other extreme
We must not be doubtful and gloomy; we must
he hopeful and brave-and keep busy all the
time. We must not underestimate the enemy
and we must not nderestimate ourselves
Strong people can face the facts OF any sltua'
t;on. good or bad, and act wisely, without tear
ar unmeasured exultation. And Americans are
strong people! =,
Let us. therefore. have nothing to do with
dated predictions-"The war will end this year
mr. .The war will be over in l9l9'-but with
calm confidence that when does end, it will
end right: let us do everything we can to hasten
The end while at the same time fortifying our
souls for endurance and ever-increasing effor
thrnuehout any term of time that may be re
ouired.-St. Nicholas Magazine.
