London.-The latest German re-
ports which have come through
Amsterdam, to which city they were
forwarded by the semi-official Wolff
bureau, flatly assert that the mill
tary party has gained the victory in
the territorial policy of Germany and
show what face that country proposes
to put on annexations in the east.
The guise in which these are pre-
sented are that the peoples of these
countries already have determined
their future status through existing
representative bodies and that this
determination is irrevocable.
Whether the German newspapers
from which these reports have been
taken represent the general feeling,
or are extracts culled by the censor
ship for circulation abroad, remains
to be seen. The Tagliche Rundschau
of Berlin says:
Army and Chancellor Agree.

ment has been reached in a confer

mand and the chancellor regarding

London, Dec. 6.
President Wilson's voyage occupies
a much more important place in the
public mind than it is getting In the
public press, albeit, the latter is fea-
turing all the American news regard,
ing the trip. In Anglo.American cir
cles, particularly, serious conversa'
tions are almost monopolized by dis.
cussion of the various aspects of his
visit. which, according to some. may
result in laying the foundation stone
of a new and better world, and ac.
cording to others may only raise new
antaponisms on the old structure of
the world.
The Presidents friends here are both
loyal and fervent, and their belief in
hin, has not been weakened by his vale
dictorv message to Congress. On the
other hand some who paid tribute to
Wilson's announcements since Amerl-
cas- entry into the war think that his
last message with its exposition OF
facts which brought about the armlstice,
"a a decline from the high level he
previously attained.

with the French Armies, Dec. 6.
The general impression which I bring
back from Lorraine and Alsace is that
the problem Of these lately imperial ter
ritories will be solved more easily than
seemed possible a few months ago.
In the first place the outburst Of pro-
French feeling when the armies came
in surpassed in extent and passionate
warmth anything that had been antici-
pated sHve perhaps by a few officers
and men belonging to Alsatian or Lor-
raine families.
This was true even of Metz, where for
various reasons it was least to be eX-
pected. Metz was the the spearhead Of
Germany in the flank of her old enemy
The German garrison, II is true had
gone, but nearly, If not fully, half Of the
remaining population was of German
origin, consisting largely of immigrants
since 1871. Some immigrants. indeed,
had left. and others were preparing to
leave. Still, one felt the dead hand of
Berlin upon the little city.

feels in him a simple direCtness of

serve to which any pomp must be
abhorrent. 1t was certainly in accord
| with his taste, as well as in regard for
| subsequent celebrations, that the entry
into the capital of Lorraine should be
treated as strictly military event and
not a national demonstration.
A Remarkable Demonstration
A very remarkable demonstration It
became, nevertheless, and If we cannot

! present entered sincerely into the spirit
of the occa sion. at least they offered no
dissent-not a sign of regret for the
regime that had passed. They say the

ECONOMIC BOYCOTT.

Much has been said about an eco
nomic boycott against Germany af-
ter the war, but it has been gener-
ally agreed that it would be imprac-
ticabe to try to shut off commerce
from seventy million people in the
heart of Europe. But the civilized
world can have no intercourse with
that nation under its present gov
eminent, whose ambition is world
power, whose policy is frightfulness,
and which regards treaty as no
thing but a scrap of paper The
government of Germany mus be
changed so that it can stand on an
equal economic and social footing
with the rest of the world after the
war, and the only way the govern
emnt can be changed is by force.

MUST BACK THE GOVERNMENT
WITH ALL OUR STRENGTH.

Few people, indeed, in this country
now fail to realize that we are fight
ing a brutal, relentless enemy. The
indictment against the Hun grows
stronger every day. He is absolute
ly devoid of pity or chivalry. An
American correspondent reports a
conversation with crippled British
offer who, after long stay in Ger
man prison pens, had been ex-
changed.
The officer told of men so feeble
from lack of food and bad conditions
as to be able scarcely to stand being
forced to work at the point Of a bay
onet until they dropped from sheer
exhaustion; of badly set gun-frac-
tured arms and legs; of soldiers
buried to the accompaniment of the
jeers of German soldiers; of the long
journeys of the badly wounded with
out relief of dressings, food or
water; of wounded prisoners
" anu lHSl SilOl
down like dogs when they no longer
could walk; of prisoners put into
camps where typhus ragged.
This is the kind of enemy we are
fighting, and this is why all of us
must get down and put every bit Of
our strength back of the govern
ment. For one thing, we must buy
only those things necessary to MAIN
tain ourselves in the most efficient
condition. That will give the gov
eminent more labor and more mater
ials for war purposes. And then
with our savings we must buy War
Savings Stamps. That will give the
government current funds with which
to use labor and materials in the
successful prosecution of the war.
We must do as President Wilson
asks us to do in his message-pledge
ourselves on or before June % to
save constantly and to buy regularly
government securities. We shall
then be doing our part.
