Lord Denbigh asks:

"Why all this 'slop about the German
people? Why is it necessary to draw these
elaborate distinctions between the Ger
man people and the system under which
they are supposed to have groaned? What
ever individuals may have done the Ger
man People-with a large P-have be-
lieved in and applauded this system. II
has made them prosperous and powerful.
and they eagerly anticipated what it would
do for them in the future. 1t was the
German People that went enthusiastically
into this war expecting to be home by
Christmas richer and irresistible; it was
they that goose-stepped at home when
their army goose-stepped through Brus-
sells.
Crushing seventy millions of people
is one thing, and may we'll not be an AL
lied aim, but making them foot the bill
against Us, making them disgorge their
plunder worth thousands Of millions and
pay large portion of the Allies war
expenses is different matter altogether. y
New-York tribune., 1918-11-03
The Greatest Crusade

1t was new friendship of the
nations that the flags Of the Allies
hymned on Fifth Avenue, and it is
new friendship Of man that is symbol
lied to-day in that extraordinary gath
ering Of all religions at Madison Square
Garden.
The history Of the world was present
in those futtering colors. The past
there assembled in new order, the
pageant of new unity, the sign and
symbol that new league Of right
marched upon earth. And it is precise
ly the same procession Of mankind, the
same united resolve and hope and
faith that to-day raise a united voice
through priest and rabbi and minister.
The old religions are swallowed up in
one sovereign emotion that knows

Pranes, Too, Will Win the War

Of the sundry items that will win the
war besides wel-armed fighting men,
food is the most conspicuous. Advertis-
ing copy in every direction solemnly as
sures us that flood will win the war"
We take wee bit less sugar and ac-
claim ourselves patriots. We pass up
the prunes we never did care much for so
that fighting men may eat them. That
lowly commodity of the typical boarding
house menu has risen to new wartime
dignity. Surgeon General Gorgas has
classed it as {: necessary food for our
military forces. Official records show
that our fighting men consumed 10000
900 pounds Of the 1917 crop Of prunes.
AS might be expected, the announce
ment of that figure was the signal for
some one to get busy with a pencil and
paper. The handy man with figures ap-
peared in Oregon. His conclusions are
now available to an expectant world.
Calculating fifty-fve prunes to the
pound, he finds that our soldiers con-
sumed 1,100,000,000 prunes of last years
crop. If these prunes were only an inch
long, there would be more than $4,000
miles of them. Laid end to end they
would reach from Vancouver to Berlin
and back again, with enough prunes left
over to build prune branch line to San
Francisco. Or these same dried plums
would be sufficient to tile pathway four
feet wide from our front line trenches
to the Hun capital
There are possibilities in this theme
OF winning the war with prunes. AS
our front lines move closer to Germany's
capital and our prune-eating warriors
increase, the four-foot pathway to Ber-
lin will widen indefinitely Next years
crop will doubtless be of enough mill
ions of prunes to pave Wilhelmstrasse
completely and to furnish such dark
decorations for the erstwhile imperial
palace as will be appropriate.
New-York tribune., 1918-11-03

appeal to the country for personal
and partisan Endorsement Of his acts and
his Administration. While the tendency
has been on the part Of leaders on both
sides to take the Presidents own words
at their face value, and to keep party
strife in the background, the President
at the eleventh hour elects to make the
war party issue and to bring parti-
sanship into the struggle. He forces
the issue, and the issue is clear.
In his fourteen conditions for peace
the President has laid down principles
which are not republican principles and
not those which since the Civil War
have chiefly guided the policies Of this
country.
We do not believe the people of this
nation are for free trade. nor for the
removal of all economic barriers, least
of all with the German nation.
We do not believe the people Of this
country would be content with peace
that does not to the fullest extent real
ize the nations demand and the demand
of all our allies for complete repara-
ton, restitution and punishment.
They are opposed to bargain peace,
to any kind of negotiated peace, to
any kind of policy short Of that terse-
~ and bluntly expressed in the terms of
unconditional surrender"
The Republican party stands squarely
and unequivocally behind what we be-
lieve to be the dominant sentiment of
this nation. We do not believe it can
be DETECTED from its firm resolve by any
appeal for partisan or personal indorse-
ment, nor from it's resolution to stand
by our allies squarely and uncompro-
misingly.
On this issue the country knows, alb
solutely, where the Republican party
stands.
1t does not know, absolutely, where
the President stands
This question is now squarely in the
open. 1t is for the people of the nation
to decide.

A Week of Verse
The Song of the Cheechas

THE Helen Haire Levinson Prize OF 500 founded
awarded this year to the following Serbian
poem BY John Curtis Underwood, now living In
New Mexico. author Of War Flames" and other
l:sred In 'Poetry"l
THE Cheechas defended Chachak.
4 The grandfathers Of Serbia's fourth
line held her third capital:
For a man is a grandfather here at forty,
and fighter at eighty until he dies.
And the Germans found it out and finched
and fled from them.
They had no uniform but their gray hair
and boards, and needed none.
They had no rations but half pound OF
dry bread a day, and it sufficed them.
They were armed with rifles as old and
battered as themselves, and they battered
the Germans back
Three times they drove them back, and
took that shattered and exploding CAPT
tai away from them.
Then in the fourth attack. when four in
every FIVE of them we're down,
The rest OF the oldest men who had seen
free Serbia born and were seeing her
die
So they believed with the rest-went away
muttering, "What do I care for myself,
what do count for?
Three million people lost, nothing else
matters, three million people lost, three
million lost"
And many of them died by the way, where
hundreds were lying starving and frecz-
ing
Dying on high Montenegrin mountains in
the wind and the that grew sleet,
SO gray icicles grew on their boards and
the slect cut cold skin their faces.
And the wind cut their song into shreds,
the song they were singing when they
died:
The Suabas are building houses, the Serbs
shall live in them.
The Suabas are planting corn, the Serbs
shall eat it up.
The Suabas are pressing wine. the Serbs
shall drink of it.
And they drank to their fill OF the war that
the Huns and their helots had brewed.
But the Serbs and their brothers shall
finish It.

The Case Against the B. r. T.

There may be little chance that case
of manslaughter, or any other criminal
charge, can be made out against the B.
r. t. officials. But if moral guilt is clear
cannot the righteous wrath of the COM
munity strike and punish where punish
ment is due?
Does blame attach chiefly to green
motorman who blundets or to strikers
who strike as the only means of enforc-
ing judgment awarded by the War
Labor Board-or to the company officials
who deliberately fouted that judgment
AND set in motion the chain of events
which ended in a horrible slaughter?
frhe p,-i'na tacie record is plain and
aight. If it is borne out by investi-
cation, why should not the city and the
Public Service Commission sentence the
guilty officers to resignation and dis
grace? Why should they not say: "You
have proved unfit for the great respon-
sibility OF holding the lives of city in
your hands. You have proved unworthy
OF the trust and respect Of your fellow
citizens. You must CO.
The word is "abdicate" in Europe to-

Where Does the President Stand :?

Since the rise Of party government
in the United States and the sharp
cleavage of our people along political
lines we have never known what it is to
engage, with all our strength and with
all our will, in great struggle with
powerful foe until now
Political conditions in the Civil War
were in sharp contrast to those Of the
present time. The larger part of the
strength of the Democratic party then,
as now, was derived from the South
With the secession of the Southern
States that party was shorn of great
part of its strength. In spite of very
marked exceptions, the Democratic par
ty throughout the Civil War was essen
TALLY an anti-war party
If it had been restored to power it
would have ended the war without vic
tory. If it could have obtained power
in either branch of Congress it would
have stayed the hand of Lincoln and
paralyzed the strength of the Northern
armies and made the war impossible
This is said with no reflection upon a
very large body of loyal Democrats in
that momentous struggle. It is a SIM
pie statement of fact. The record is
clear.
Before we entered into the struggle
with Germany the Democratic party,
under the Presidents leadership, was
distinctly an anti-war party. Even a
year after the sinking Of the Lusitania
the strongest slogan for the Presidents
reelection was "He kept US out of war"
1t is fair, we think, to say that if Mr.
Taft or almost any other Republican
had been President we should have en-
tered the war long time before we
did. This is almost certainly true if
Colonel Roosevelt had still been our
Chief Executive.
From the day we entered the war Re-
publicans, in Congress and out, have.
with very few exceptions, fewer than
in the Democratic party itself, given
their loyal and undivided support to
practically every war measure. For the
time being politics was distinctly lad
journed." If there was any political
issue involved at all, it was with the
feeling, which was not partisan feel
ing, that We were not getting into the
war as fast and as energetically as we
might. For more than eight months
after our formal declaration against
Germany there still seemed some hope
on the part of the Administration that

Henry Morris .Urites:

TO profess belief in league of na-
tlons which is to preserve universal peace
by means Of power to punish, militar;lv
and economically, any offending or re-
calcltrant state-and vet to refrain from
visiting with condign punishment the
people and the rulers of the people who
have outraged every doctrine of Chris
tlanlty, every tenet of civilization and
every principle of international Law is
not only to be fundamentally inconsist-
eDt, but despicably self-stultifying. A
league Of democracies now exists. and is
doing its best to curb the criminal ambi-
tion OF race of barbarians and to pre-
vent them becoming the despots of the
world. Is the intention of this league
