you must not misunderstood
Mr.. Balfour's statement in
i the House of Commons last
Thursday. 1t is an obvious common
.,.ce that Great Britain will be
ready at any time to hear Of prop
,.rlv authenticated peace terms COM
mo from Germany. President Will
.on has said the same thing, and ap-
,arently the meaning is that hole
and-corner negotiations. which COM
nit Germany to nothing, are not in
themselves basis either for an ar
u;stice or a round table talk.
Berlin has approached all the AL
lies in turn, and in Britain's case, as
IN the others, she has been told,
ouietly but firmly, to lay her cards
On the table for all the world to see.
Instead of doing this, she puts moth
ing on paper, but sends out secret
.missaries with informal messages
designed to create dissension among
the free peoples rather than to pro-
mote a general democratic peace.
Let US pay, first of all, our tribute
to France and Italy, which countries,
despite every artifce of German
propaganda, working in each case
through Switzerland, have steadily
resisted the most seductive bribes. 1t
is q loyalty at once heroic and far
sighted. For, of course, it is Ger
many's object, by means of alleged
though unreal offers which commit
her to nothing, to get conference.
There is no certainty that at such a
conference she would fulfil expecta-
tons, even as regards the Western
frontier. At any moment she could
use her occupation of Belgium and
the French provinces as a weapon
for demands not now disclosed. Her
fortifcation of Antwerp and the
Belgian coast does not look as if it
were intended to be temporary. She
rules all these territories as if she
meant to remain there. Our armies
have not, in fact, turned her out.
This is the first reason for suspect
ing her doves of peace.
Makes Appetizing
Peace Terms
As generally understood, her al
legged proposals are, broadly, as fol-
lows:
Belgium is to be restored, France
is to be evacuated and a part of
Alsaee-Lorraine, to include Strass-
burg handed back. Moreover, Aus
tria-Hungary will be compelled to
surrender the Trentino and Trieste.
But, on the other hand, the Central
Powers will be left permanently in
control of what they hold to-day in
Russia and Poland. AS for the Ger
man colonies, they will be traded for
whatever indemnities the Central
Powers owe to the countries which
they have despoiled. That is the
plan, and it is by no means the first
time that we have heard about it.
President Lowell of Harvard is fully
justified when, in set terms, he de-
nounces it as impossible.
1t is very clever. On paper il
seems to give Belgium and our Latin
allies those territories to which they
can lay claim on racial grounds
Even England is to be conciiiated
The British Empire would be in.

and at home, and it is now plain that

which have been so industriouslv circu.
lated, and which of late have seriously
interfercd with recruiting for the corps
"a serious matter-originate with q
small minority of the men displaced by
the "Waacs." These latter have no,
relished exchanging jobs at the base tc
take their place in the fighting line, and
apparently have vented their spite by
casting baseless aspersions upon the
morals of the "Waacs" as a whole.

tai principles Of Republic. The
very fact that Britain lives under
a free monarchy needs to be ex-
planned to a peasantry which has
only had experience of Czardom.
Again, the average Russian is still
religious. The eagerness with which
he discusses whether there is or is

matters spiritual. 1t follows, there

We talk sometimes about British
administration in India and Egypt,
and it is on the whole very good.
America has her chance in Russia
call that will test her statesman
ship and her ethics to the very ut
most. The other day ] heard Ivy
Lee describe the work Of the Red
Cross in Italy and France, especially
among the civil population. The
effect on the national morale of
/ those countries has been wonderful.
The soldiers have felt it. They fight
better when something is done for
their families. In Russia, similarly,
social reconstruction, spreading
from province to province, win be
followed inevitably by military re-
covery. The Soviets are not wicked
they are only foolish and igno-
rant. With light and leading they
cannot fail to respond to the claims
of patriotism, and if it be true that
Kerensky is on visit to the United
States a situation of the utmost sig
nificance may develop.
America Should
Join Japan
If America renders no comrade-
ship to Russia, if peace is made or
even considered which leaves Russia
to her present fate, consider what
results will follow! Japan will be
drawn inevitably into Germany's or
bit and this will mean two great
autocracies, the one in Europe and
the other in Asia, exploiting for mil
itary purposes the vast resources
and docile people of disinterested
Slavdom. By joining with Japan in
a common task America will bring
out the best qualities of the Japa-
nese people, and in this partnership
the large Russian population in the
United States will furnish not only
sympathy, but much useful assist

American influence will tend to
bring Bolshevikism back to common

end to make use of the bourgeoisie.
and so will Russia. 1t is inevitable.
But an American propaganda would
prevent the reaction swinging back
to brute Czardom, as the Kaiser de-
sires, and would challenge the quar-
tet of puppet princelings who are
to mount thrones in the Baltic prov
inces.
And finally, this whole project de-
pends upon the firm resolve of the
Allies to keep grip of Germany's
army on the Western front, steadily
drawing off her reserves from the
east and so forcing her to relax her
military hold on Russia as Amer
ica's moral, educative and financial

France is really battle for Mos

This tale was more or less absurd
on the face Of it, for the "Waacs" in
France are we'll behind the fighting

OVER HUNDRED KILLED IN WRECK
 SUBWAY TRAIN
Running at High Speed Train Left the Track at a Curve Strike of Regular Trainmen Caused Inexperienced Crew.

New York, Nov Eighty bodies had been taken late tonight from what is known as the Malone street tunnel" on the Brighton Beach line of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, where a five-car train running at high speed, jumped the track on a curve and struck the side-wall with such terrific force that the first car was demolished and the others "buckled" until they were jammed against the roof of the tunnel The train, which carried nearly 900 passengers, was in charge of green motorman
 Rescue workers declared they be- lieved more bodies were buried under the wreckage and that the death list of men, women and children might reach 120.
 District Attorney Lewis of Kings county, declared the accident was due to recklessness on the part of the motorman who had been employed as train dispatcher and was pressed into service because ,of the strike which went into effect today after the company had refused to reinstate 29 discharged union employees.
 "The motorman is gone" Mir. Lewis said "The claim adjusting depart ment appears to have kidnapped him"
 An investigation of the wreck was in progress late tonight at the offices of the public service commission The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company had made no statement concerning the wreck and four hours after it oc- cured ignorance was professed of ex- actly what had happened. The crash cam ein a dark tunnel and the hys- terical survivors were unable to give a coherent account of their expert epces.
 When the first car jumpedthe track it side eswiped the west wall and ran | along the ties for nearly 100 feet. The cars behind crashed through it, then buckled against the roof and fell

Science says that old age begins with weakened kidneys and digestive organs.
 This being true, it is easy to be- lieve that by keeping the kidneys and digestive organs cleansed and in pro per working order old age can be de- ferred and life prolonged far beyond that enjoyed by the average person.

IN THE RING AGAIN.

Having finished chopping out cot
ton on his farm along the Southern
Railway between Abbeville and Hold
ges, Col. Pat Roche bowed into
town early this week. He informs US
that with his venerable friends,
Mess. w. A. Calvert, Thomas P.
Thomson and old man Gillian, he
took a trip through the country to
Columbia recently, and that he
found the drought in Texas and the
wet weather in South Carolina were
running the cotton crop. When he
arrived in Columbia he tells US that
he was unable to get his partners
into a first class hotel, mad that he
was finally put in a room with a
crowd of hungry mosquitoes and
heard the clock strike every hour in
the night but one. He believes that
if you would herd up a bunch of
the Columbia mosquitoes and turn
them loose as a flying squadron
against the Germans that the war
would be over before the frost falls.
He tells us that he is in the ring
"agane."
