Security After the War.

Last week we published the opinion OF an atle man
that after the should have to- have all young
in constant training for war; 50 be ready the
time some criminal nation breaks out.
But there is a better way.
IL used to be necessary that each family should keep
guns and know how to them and hundreds of old
houses still stand in England that were built like forts to
keep frobbers. But there is sheriff and consa-
bles who protect all homes and they do better and
cheaper.
What need is an international sheriff to protect
all nations. This is what Lloyd George proposes and
what President Wilson favors-an international standing
army to be always the watch that treaties observ
ed and that no nation secretly itself against
its neghbor nation.
Such an international army like police force, will
not need TO be very expensive but will do the work

The peace conference between
Germany and Russia was broken up
because of disagreement on terms.
The Germans insisted on keeping
their forces on Russian soil already
occupied. The Russian delegates
left the conference charging treach-

good things. II has revealed the

in Russia not to betray their coun-

strengthened the liberal element in

HERTL|NG APPROVES.
WILSON PRINCIPLES
AGREES WITH VIEWS OF PRESI.
DENT, BUT SAYS ALLIES DO
NOT APPLY THEM.
When American Aims Are Openly In
dorsed by Others, Germany Will
Consider Peace, Is Imperial
Chanceilor's Declaration.

Amsterdam.-Spea before the
reichstag on February %. the impe-
rial German chancellor, Count Won
Hertling, made this declaration:
81 can fundamentally agree with The
four principles which in President VIII
sons view must be applied in mu-
tual exchange of views, and thus de-
clare with President Wilson that a
general peace can be discussed on such
a basis.
"Only one reserve need be made in
this connection: These principles must
not only be proposed by the president
of the United States, but also must
actually be recognized by all states
and peoples.
But this goal has not yet been
reached. There is still no court of ar
bitration established by all the nations
for the preservation Of peace in the
name of justice When President VIII
son incidentally says that the German
chancellor is speaking to the tribunal
of the entire world, must decline this
tribunal as prejudiced, joyfully as l
would greet it if an impartial court of
arbitration existed and gladly as
would cooperate to realize such ideals.
Allies Terms Not in Accord.
Unfortunately, however, there is
no trace of similar statements on the
part of the leading powers of the en-
tente. Englands war aims are still
thoroughly imperialistic and she
wants to impose on the world a peace
according to England's good pleasure.
when England talks about the peO-
pies right Of self-determination, she
does not think of applying the prin-
ciple TO Ireland, Egypt and India.
at has been repeatedly said that we
do not contemplate retaining Belgium,
but that we must be safeguarded from
the danger of q country. with which
we desire after the war TO live in peace
and friendship. becoming the object or
ground OF enemy machina-
tons. If, therefore, a proposal came
from the opposing side, for example,
from the government in Havre, We
should not adopt an antagonistic atti-
tude. even though the discussion at
first might only be unbinding.
Meanwhile, 1 readily admit that
President Wilson's message OF Febru
airy II constitutes perhaps a small step
toward mutual approachment-"
