The women of Massachusetts take
issue with Senators Lodge and Weeks
that their negative vote on the fed
eral suffrage amendment was repre-
sentative of the feeling Of the state.
This difference of opinion was en-
phasized in resolution passed
unanimously by the Massachusetts,
Women Suffrage Association which
expressed appreciation for the sup
port President Wilson had given the
measure. Pointing out that they be-
lieved the action of the Massachu-
sets senators was contrary to the
ideals of democracy, as expressed in
the civilized countries of the world,
and to which both political parties
are fully committed" the resolution
stated that the executive board of the
suffrage association viewed "the at
titude of the senators toward the
womanhood of America as one Of in
dignity and blind prejudice which
intelligent and liberal women will re-
member for all time"

The Menace Of Peace

John Sherman. the great Ohio Re-
publican statesman. when the Civil
War ended and the country faced the
problem OF paying its debts in good
hard money. did what Greeley once
said: The way to resume specie
payments Il to resume" and under
sherman's masterful plan the Treas
sry was placed on a sound basis.
William Mckinley. another Repub.
hcan statesman. after the Spanish
American war. signed the gold stand

debase the currency.
william Howard Taft. stin another
Republican statesman. SO admins
tered the business Of the people that
he saved more than 500, 0oo,0 900 by
enicient methods.
These are a few illustrations Of
constructive Republican statesman
chip. The Republican Party and its
leaders have ever possessed the gen.
aus, the business judgment. and the
sound economic principles with which
to conduct the Government safely.
The Republicans consider winning
the war the nrst great duty. They
worked all along toward that end,
and have given greater support to
war measures in Congress than the
Democrats. They have supported
every war activity. Before the war
they asked for preparedness. which
was denied them by . Democratic
Congress. They are now pointing
out the necessity OF preparedness for
peace. apparently without avail. but
their patriotism. wisdom and business
ability have been called upon to holp
win the war. The Democrats boast

Denmark is arranging for a place
at the peace table. She has sent a
note to Germany suggesting that GER
tain terms Of the treaties executed
between the two countries in the
period from 1860 to 1870 should be
carried out: The vaderland points
out that Article v of the treaty Of
1864. which coded the dukedoms Of
Schleswig -Holstein and Lauenburg to
Prussia, provided for plebiscite in
Schleswig to decide whether the in
habitants would prefer allegiance to
Germany or to Denmark. This pro-
vision, it is declared. never has been
carried out. 1t was, evidently, a

The German Reply.

A Washington dispatch says that
the State Department will make no
comment on the German reply until
the official text is received. From
bulletin information of the wireless
version Of the reply we hope the S.
u. will say nothing when the full Of
fetal text 10 in hand.
Tho German government is playing
for time and in the hope to save,
through haggling at conference,
what her boosted "invincible" army
has lost.
Germany contends in her reply"
that evacuation Of Belgium and
France will require months, yet with
the aid of General Foch and his
armies it seems entirely possible in
days. Indeed, II Germany IL really
in haste for peace she should let the
military processes go on.
President Wilson told them that so
long as they continued their illegal
and inhumane practices" their acts
Of inhumanity spoliation and desola-
tion," an armistice could not be con-
sidered. The reply comes back that
Germany will discontinue the tor
pcdoing of passenger ships. protests
against the Presidents reference to
"inhumane acts" and denies that the
German navy has purposely des-
troyed life boats with passengers.
Manifestly it is not for President
Wilson to discuss such claims With
Germany, nor can he presume to
speak for the good right arms Of
France, England. Belgium and Italy
which are helping the Huns out of
occupied territory at pace much
more rapid than Huns like to travel.
They are not finding time to de-
vastate and desecrate: they want
! more time and the imperial govern
! ment wants IAN opportunity for fix
: ing details"
, Gen. Foch and not President Will
son should arrange these details"
Germany has ordered her U-boats
(that forced the United States into
, the war; to their bases. She has that
much light, and it is equally evident
that the President has received light
, since he penned his famous queries.
The u. S. reply to Austria proves the
assumption.
The war is not to be ended by
long range discharges between Pots
dam and Washington. The latest
German drive is more dangerous
than the Hindenburg attempt of last
March-if we permit diplomatic
engagement to interrupt the allied
military successes. 1t is more dan
gcrous first, because while America
has saved the day, she could not have
saved II but for England, or but for
France. And these nations will not
permit n victory that will last to be
snatchcd from their sure grasp now.
The willy Hun has hope in such q
division.
IL President Wilson answers at all
this attempt to discuss and argue. he
should speak FOR the nations with
whom we are fighting side by side.
and not in disregard Of them.
Conditions had better be left as
they are until Germany complies to
the letter in act. and not in promise.
Tor German promise is worthless.

ment as captain in the Medical
Corps. He will report for duty at
the Army General Hospital, Colonia,

been given a commission in the Med

Word has been received that First
Lieut.. Ralph L. Talbot, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Archie L. Talbot of Lew
iston, who is now at Camp Gordon,
Atlanta. Ga, has been commissioned
captain.
Lieut.. William L. Malabar, whose
wife is well known as the hostess
at the Sinclair boarding house on
Long Island at the mouth of the
Kennebec, is now a prisoner in Ger
many. Lieut.. Malabar has been in
service both as a newspaper cor
respondent and in the Medical Corps
ever since 1914. He was exceedingly
anxious to serve in the regular army
and in this service was taken pris-
oner. His experiences have been
nany and most unusual. At one
time while serving in the medical
work he went to England for a
slight wound but while there in Lon
don. the hospital where he was was
bombed and he suffered a severe in
jury on the head. His one furlough
was shortened to but few days
after his arrival in N. Y, when he
was ordered back. Only one with
his knowledge of the ways of the
war could have sent the cable
through as he did from Germany i'm
mediately after capture. He re-
ported that he was comfortable
there when last heard from in Aug
ust.

When peace comes-and recon-
struction-these constructive Repub-
licans will be called on to solve the
problems growing out Of the war. and
at the same time protect interests Of
the laborer. the manufacturer, the
farmer and the business man. This
can not be done by the Democratic
party, Democratic party now abso-
lutely controlled by the South.
Northern. Mid-Western and West
ern Democrats have no voice in their
party's policies. These policies are
controlled by the Democratic con-
gressmen from nine Southern states.
Democratic congressman represent
ing Northern, Mid-Western. and
Western citizens are bound hand and
foot by the party caucus, which is
controlled absolutely by the South.
Democrats, as we'll as Republicans,
outside Of the South cannot hope to
have their great and varied interests
looked after properly by Democratic
representatives. controlled by a
Southern caucus.
They should vote to send Republi-
cans to Congress who could construc-
lively represent their districts, state
and the nation without the bossism
Of the South, whose interests are
vastly different from those of the
North.
Peace and reconstruction will bring
tremendous duties. With peace like
ly to drop at any moment, as sudden
ly as the war started, the reconstruc-
ton cloud becomes a menace to the
nation unless it is met by statesman

never evidenced, either in peace or
