What will the President do? He has
the cards In his hands. He can consent
to a conference soon and let Germany
still retain the power to upset the
peace of the world or he can insist
that the German military machine
must be demobilized, that there must
be an immediate and unconditional
withdrawal from France and Belgium
and that new government responsible
to the people of Germany. and one
whose word the rest of the world can
accept. must arise before there can be
the slightest cessation of hostilities or
war preparations.
Of the two alternatives, those who
know the character of the President
haven't the least doubt that 1t will be
the second. Mr.. Wilson knows full

PEACE PROPOSAL

Senator Poindexter Holds
German Suggestion Is
Most Dangerous.

Germany's peace oner provoked
lively discussion in the Senate today.
Senator Poindexter Of Washington
republican, attacking the proposal for
an armistice upon evacuation of enc
my held territory as most insidi-
Gus danger" while Chairman Hitch
cock of the foreign relations commits,
tee appeared inclined to approve the
peace offer If Germany should also
unequivocally accept President Will
sons fourteen peace terms.
Discusses Editorial Views
i Senator Poindexter urged the for.
eign affairs committee to keep in touch
| with negotiations during the three
day recess periods and to keep the
Senate advised as to its progress. He
i characterized as dangerous element
newspaper editorial comment sug-
costing that the United States agree
to an armistice if Germany agrees to
| evacuate occupied territory. and urged
that no such agreement be entered
into.
In urging the foreign affairs COM
mittee to keep in touch with negotia-
tons Senator Poindexter said the
functions Of the Senate should not be
ignored. The committee should seek
an opportunity to be consulted in the
negotiations, he said.
Senator McCumber Of North Dakota
| told the Senate he had prepared a
resolution on that subject to insure
lions. The country should be warned,
Senator Poindexter said. of the in
sidiousness of the suggestion for an
armistice even after the withdrawal
of Germany from occupied territory.
Senator Hitchcock's Reply.
When Senator Poindexter declared
an armistice would mean the end of
all military action and, II accompanied
only by enemy evacuation of Belgium
and France. would be victory for
Germany, Senator Hitchcock earnestly
| pointed out that the German offer also
| provides for acceptance Of the four
teen terms laid down by the President
| in his address Of January 8.
| Acceptance of Germany's offer only
| upon evacuation Of Belgium and
| France, Senator Hitchcock said, would
be 'preposterous,' but he declared AL
| sace-Lorraine should be restored to
France, and pointed out that its re-
storation as we'll as reparation for
Belgium and France. are among the
Presidents fourteen terms which Ger
many proposes to accept.
Mr.. Lodge for Military Victory.
Minority Leader Lodge declared that
| an armistice would mean the loss of
the war and all we've fought for"
Germany, he said, now merely pro-
poses a long debate on the basis of
peace.
The only future course, Senator
| Lodge emphatically declared, is to Sc
cure a complete military victory over
Germany and force her to sue for
peace.
