sIsMARck's ANSWER.

Sioux City Journal: Just before the
surrender of the French army at
Sedan in the Prussian war in
which France was forced into the
dust and shorn Of her territories
without having voice in the dis
meInberment, France asked for an
armistice in which to have the terms
which would be imposed upon her
considered The request was made
TO Bismarck, the originator of Ger
many's diabolical war methods. His
reply was as follows:
Germany desires to promote
the re-establishment OF peace.
The best means of assuring it is
to deprive France of her army.
That was the decision of Germany
when a nation lay PROSTATE before
her. Germany would take no chances
on an armistice. She could crush the
military opposition and by SO doing
would bring peace the quicker. The
case is SO applicable to the condition
of Germany today that President
Wilson could well quote Bismarck's
reply to the request of France for an
armistice and let the correspondence
between himself and the German gov
eminent rest on the case thus made.

AN ADEPT AT EXPLAINING

Ottumwa Courier: One OF the fea-
lures that makes President Wilson 3
frequent utterances remarkable is
the fact that whereas he says thing
in ordinarily plain English and it is
construed as he says IL, the public
never can be certain that he viii not
issue later Interpretation which
will give it entirely q different mean
ing, one which no one nut the author
himself could read into his original
words.
Perhaps this is the reason whoy SO
many Inconsistencies are apparent IN
the various speeches, messages,
notes and state papers that have
come from the facile white house
typewriter in recent years. Els
method OF denial is more delicate,
perhaps, than those announcements
OF other days which swelled the
membership or the Ananias club.
Indeed, in Mr.. wilson's case there is
no disowning of the statements
themselves; merely explanation"
which make them say what they
could no. have said at first.
So it is that the third of his four
teen peace terms, instead of being a
declaration for universal free trade
among all the nations participating
in the treaty which must end the
present war-and that list certainly
includes Germany under some gov
eminent or other-is demand for
economic punishment Of govern
ments in case they discriminate in
! favor of or against individual coun-
tries in the matter Of trade arrange
ments.
This, at least, is what President
Wilson says now, ten months after
having made the original statement.
Through those ten months he had
remained silent in the face of the
fact that his statement was inter
preted far and wide as a declaration
for universal free trade. 1t IS only
now, when a desperate appeal is
made to him by Senator Simmons.
one of the democratic leaders Of the
favored solid south, that he essays
to tell the public what he meant TO
say when he did not say it.
On learning that there is SO wide
divergence between what he said

AS TO sERMONETTES.

PENNSYLVANIA bible society requests the
newspapers Of the United States TO publish
daily with brief comment selected passages OF
scripture They probably viii not do SO for
long. if at all, but leave it to the pulpits OF the
corIntry to elucidate the scriptural teachings
of particular present value to the world.
There was never time when the church was
doing this more effectively; never time when
sermons dealt SO largely and SO wisely with the
vital, living interests of life. The thoughtful
minds in the church were never more generally
and widely quoted IN the press Of the land. The
clergyman who has any distinctive and impress
siye contribution to the thought Of the day Is
heard through the newspapers by thousand
times as many as heard him speak; and some Of
the most powerful voices now raised in the
world and most potent in moulding public opir-
ion are proclaiming in pulpits the honor, jus.
tice, righteousness of the war we fight and the
imperative necessity Of seeing it through.
/ Just as an example, however, Of the sermon
cites the Pennsylvania society suggests, atten-
ton might be called to the text: "Behold the
works of the Lord, what associations He hath
made in the earth; He breaBeth the bow and
seutteth the spear in sunder that wars may cease
unto the end of the earth, and nation shall not
lift up sword against nation, neither shall they
tlearn war any more" Is it not reasonable to
interpret this as meaning that through war
this war as we may hope-will come the end Of
war? Does it not suggest and seem to promise
an international order in which nations which
would make war will have no power to do so,
age when wars will be profitless or impos-
sibe and disarmament and reliance on inter
national law will become in time the general
lIule7

and what he desires the world to
read into one of the briefest para
graphs among the fourteen, it is but
natural that untutored readers Should
find themselves wondering what the
other thirteen terms mean bat fail
TO reveal in their present form.
A while ago. when Germany was
announcing her acceptance of these
same fourteen terms, dispatches an
nounced that the Italian government
officials were unable to understand
The exact import of two or three OF
Them There was a desire at Rome,
these dispatches said, Tor an elabo-
ration and explanation of some of
these terms, and the Italian govern
ment one of our own allies, was I'M
able to announce its acceptance of
them without such explanation.
On September 81, President VIII
son declared in the most certain and
emphatic manner that it was useless
TO think OF negotiating a peace with
the German government. but ten
days later he embarked on a series
Of formal literary exchanges with
! that government discussing the pos
sibility Of a negotiated peace, and
he halted the correspondence only
when public sentiment on both sides
of the Atlantic made such a deter
mined demand that it was in9ossi-
Bile for him to ignore it.
Among all the documents that have
come from the white house during
the current regime. however, there
is one whose meaning is plain be
yond doubt or question, and the de-
mand it makes has shocked the
whole country into sudden realiza-
ton of the possibilities Of one-man
rule and the actual existence Of ma
tional domination which the solid
south has obtained under the protec-
ton CT tie democratic administra-
ton. There is no installing the
aim OF the amazing demand for per-
petuation Of that domination which
went up from the white house last
Friday, and which has been de-
scribed SO aptly by Chairman Hays
as a call upon the voters of America
to elect a rubber stamp congress TO
work the partisan will of single
individual.

is so big that he saved Prince Lichnowsky from

years of war Harden has fearlessy written the
truth as he sees it. His pen is mightier than the
swords of the high command or OF any OF the
iunker crowd. He should prove to be a tower
of strength in the rebuilding of Germany after
the war.

governor The only fight that is
being made against him is on ac-

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: No sane
man today would believe single
utterance of any German official.
Memory is too green Of Bernstorfr
and men of his ilk to believe single
word they say, and when the kaiser
and his minions declare no cruelties
or oarbarities were practiced on the
civil population OF Belgium and
France they lie. and we hardly be-
neve they think us big enough fools
20 believe them.
Manson Journal: The world is not
concerned today whether Germany
considers her actions in the past TO
have been contrary to civilized war
fare or not. She has already passed
Judgment to that point and will not
reopen the case.

be in peace or pieces soon.

pire combination is Bulgaria. The
Bulgars quit while the quitting was
fairly good-and they further en-
HANGED their chances OF friendly con-
sideration by quitting without qulb-
bling.

eriess to fool the allies as TO what's
going on back OF the lines.

There is no retreat from this n2si-

EARNING AND SPENDING.

The report of the council for national de-
tense shows that people heretofore opulent are
reducing their expenses while less affluent
classes hitherto more frugal are increasing
theirs and buying jewels, gowns and Injuries
on what would have formerly seemed an ex-
trayagant scale. 1t is much the same with
travel The families accounted rich are less IN
evidence on transportation lines, both here and
| in Canada; and most of the people who indulg-
led in pleasure trips the past summer were those
to whom new conditions brought increased
incomes 1t is also notedthat much of the aug
mented expenditure for luxuries and non-es
sentials, for dress and ornamentation, is made
by women, the men for the most part making
less change in their wonted attire.
There is reason to believe that conditions are
much the same in all the allied lands. Incomes
from investments have everywhere been cut
lin two while wages of workers have greatly IN
creased. The earnings of persons on moderate
salaries remain as a rule with little change, al
though the climbing cost OF everything affects
them as it does everyone else. Measured thus
lin financial sacrifice it is the people of large
or moderate means on whom the war burdens
press most heavily: and whereas some mouth
ing bolshevists used to rant about this as rich
man g war and poor man Is fight, it has turned
out to be just the reverse. The rich are doing
their full share Of the fighting and more of the
lpaying measured in diminished incomes, than
any other class
Manifestly this war is disturbing and read
Ijustng conditions TO an extent and with sud
denness unexampled in human annals. A new
dispensation appears to have dawned upon the
world in which the old order is reversed, and
unto him that hath not shall be given and from
him that hath shall be taken away that which
he hot, ,ld ra1Sr
able; but things worked out that way, and
there seemed no way of changing them 1t was
essential to human welfare that individual
capacity and energy should reap rich reward;
and no doubt they always will, for it would
deaden effort and put brake on progress if
men could not improve their condition in life
by ceaseless effort, sagacity and thrift. Yet
out Of this great upheaval is seemingly coming
a modified order in which extremes of wealth
and poverty dangerous to civilization will dis
appear Concevably conditions are to come in
which colossal fortunes will longer auto
matically increase when industry will guaran-
tee workers of average capacity against lack of
the essentials of existence and states will no
longer permit thriftlessness to live in sodden
poverty in city slums a matter of choice.
