The Clown Prince Heard From

The German clown prince has changed his idea of victory since
he was lording it ovec everybody at the head of the military party
in Berlin a few years ago. Then it was Deutschland Ueber Allies
and world domination. His latest idea of victory, according to an
interview with him published in a newspaper in Budapest, is ITO hold
our own and not let ourselves be vanqushed-" -
Some victory, this.
But the clown prince 8 idea of what constitutes "our own and
the idea that others have Of what belongs to Germany seem to be
somewhat different. To the Germans everything is "our own that
they can lay their hands on. They have been able to lay their hands
no right to, and they will have to pay bitterly for those things, too.
But as far as what is actually G~ermanys, no one has any desire to
disturb that. There is only one thing that the outside world requires
Of Germany proper and that is that the German government be
changed SO that such a world catastrophe can never be brought npon
the clown princes word, too, for the word of the ruling class in Ger
many is absolutely worthless throughout the civilized world.
OF course, it was natural that somewhere In his interview the
clown prince should throw in an insult to America He says that
when he questioned American prisoners as to what they were fighting
for they replied, "Alsace." And when he asked them, where is
Alsacei' they replied, cts a big lake."
Every American lad in Europe today knows full well what he is
fighting for. Man for man his intelligence is far greater than the in
telligence of the Huns he is fighting. The American soldier is no
ignoramous, as the clown prince has had occasion to learn by this
time.
The interview of the clown prince is probably only another part
of the peace propaganda that will become stronger as the winter ad-
vances But the clown prince has begun his whine too late. Those
Americans that he pretends to believe are so ignorant, are bright
enough to know that the war viii not end until they are in Berlin,
and the quicker they can get there and then get back to the dear old
u. S. A. the better.
We won't let the clown prince fool us over here, and we are quite
sure that he can't fool the boys cover there"
It's unconditional surrender for the boches; we will talk about
what constitutes "oqr own as far as Germany is concerned, after
ward.

HaSty Action That MAY React

action Of the New Jersey Joint Labor Board. representing
the local labor unions in the state, in attempting to put on record
every candidate for state or national Office as to his position on public
ownership, would seem to be somewhat premature. Apparently, the
socialistic element in the ranks of labor has got an upper hand and is
trying to take advantage of the war emergency to force through
public ownership of all public utilities. We do not believe that the
rank and fe of organized labor stands behind such action at this
time. 49,
As a matter of fact, there is nothing to show to the average work
ing man to encourage him to favor government ownership. The
only example we have of government ownership, as far as the federal
government is concerned, is the handling of the postal facilities of
the country, and we surely do not believe that the average working
man employed by any private corporation envies the lot of the postal
clerk or letter carrier. If there ever was a under paid, down trod-
den lot OF men, it is the men who have been serving the post Office
department in years past.
just IN the matter of pensions alone, the railroads and many of
the big private corporations retire their old employees on a suitable
compensation to keep them in their old age after they have served
Their usefulness with the concern. Not so the government. A man
may put in his whole life working for the government and when he
gets old and some up-start of a government official decides that he
has served his usefulness he is unceremoneously dumped out into the
cold world to shift for himself.
That is government ownership as far as we have experienced it
thus far.
OF course, it may be changed, but labor itself ought not to be too
hasty to rush into the matter until it is known what is in store. Con-
dItlons are very unsettled now. Thoughtful men are seriously con.
aderng the problem of government ownership, but very few outside
the rabid socialists have made up their minds. To attempt to rail
road the matter now, as apparently is the intention of the New Jersey
Joint Legislative Board, would only be to drive those who r seri.
ousy considering the problem into direct opposition. Many who
might eventually favor the plan, if forced to decide at once would
oppose 1T because they are not sufficiently acquainted with the pro.
Jeet to come out IN favor of so radical a change.
The attempt to place the candidates on record on this issue this
year S likely to react. The American people have accepted a great
many things during the past few months merely for the sake of win
things. "

RUSH HOUR ON TROLLEY

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
While coming home from New
Brunswick last Friday night, on the
car leaving New Brunswick at four
thirty (4:3o). two elderly ladies laden
with parcels were in the car carrying
on a conversation. The a was
crowded with wal workers returning
from work to Perth Amboy and vi
cinity. Naturally, those standing held
on to the handles that are on the side
of the seats. This seemed TO displease
the said ladies, so they made insulting
remarks to and about some of the
girls who were holding on to the
handle Of their seat and standing
around them.
Every person using the Public Ser
vice line knows just as well as / do.
that the service of the above mem
toned company despite the extra
transfer charges is not worth two
cents" but why do women who spend
the day shopping, deliberately return
in the cars during the rush hour and
make insulting remarks about the
workers, when they are not to blame
1t should be their patriotic duty to
stay off these cars.

PERU ACCEPTS U.
 s. MEDIATION

Santiago, Chile, Dec 13.-President Wilson's note to the Chilean govern ment expressing the desire that the questions at issue between Peru and Chile be amicably arranged, and the governments answer to the Presi- dents message, were read in the Chamber of Deputies today. The re- ply to the President declares the government desire and unshakeable determination to preserve peace and to carry out the conditions of the treaty of Ancon, which it says the government believes must solve the controversy between Chile and Peru without the necessity of war.
 The chancellor of the Chamber de- clared~ that Chile had never refused to proceed to the consummation of the treaty of Ancon and that the government would now make the greatest effort to accomplish this end. The chancellor'A declaration is unanimously approved by the news papers here.
