The UItiE77atun.

The president has init the nail on the head" In
courteous and withal firm tones he has, made II
clear to Germany that the allies mistrust her pledges
and PROMISES and that the words Of those who have
hitherto been the masters Of German policy are abso-
luteIv unreliable The reply is certainly the last
needed and calls not for debate, but for submits
sion.
! By no system Of canouflage can Germany now
'bsvade the one and only issue at stake
Prince Macmillan in his address before the
reichstag asks that the pride and honor" Of the
German people be safeguarded. What has a nation
that is the most hated Of all peoples on the earth
done to be proud Of? If it her "uItur' the chan
ceIlor refers to- what has such achieved? Steadily,
remorsely and without tie slightest wagering from
the Baltic to the Ukraine Germany has sought to
bring all peoples under her economic and military
nomination. domination absolutely devoid Of the
quality Of mercy; her armies have committed
crimes that no barbarians have been guilty Of
and who for one moment give consideration to
a plea for the perpetuation of such a spirit?
Germany is still impentent, and instead of taking
the position OF the suppHcant she poses the die
ator and asks that she be allowed to get off with
the smallest possible payment
But mercy and consideration is alien to the Ger
man spirit When France lay crushed and bleeding
at her feet in 1870 the French people do not forget
bew they then had absolutely no voicein the terms
the conquerors demanded.
The fateful hour has come. The mandate has
gone forth; and the American people must steel
their hearts and brace up their spirits for further
prolonged period OF conflict, which is certain to
grow In intensity the allied armies near the
Rhine
The final settlement viii be in the hands of the
military leaders of the allies and will be brought
about when naughty German miiitarism ackno~
lodges itself defeated and accepts the and only
condition OF peace-unconditionaI surrender!

The Guilt of Austria.

There is not the slightest reason why the allies
should feel more tender toward the Austrian gov
eminent than toward the German government
Which the leader and which the follower in
planning the they may dispute between them
selves; what concerns US is that they acted as
unit in bringing it on. Austria in fact was chosen
for strategic reasons to strike the first blow and
there is not the slightest evidence that acted I'M
willingly; its share the guilt is not shade less
than Germanys. Nor has it's conduct OF the war
been on higher plane Its treatment OF Serbia WAS,
if possible worse than Germanys treatment of Bel
GUM; it has bombed Venice as Germany has bombed
Paris and London In the MachiaYellian intrigues
conducted in this country there was no choice be-
tween DR.. Dumba and Count Bernstorff In the
plot against Russia, Austria took hand with Ger
many, and it is still trying to get Russian Poland
offset to Germany's annexation of the Baltic
provinces. After promising, when the promise
seemed safe, not to send Austrian army into the
Ukraine to aid in the work OF subjugation plum
der it revoked the pledge the moment an army was
needed. After talking benevoIentIy about peace
without indemnities annexations thereby con
trbating befuddIement of Russia it took part
in the infamous BrestIitovsk treaties and so far as
stand pat on them
It is superfiuous, therefore, to discuss whether
the proposal of peace conference is a German
trick. because Austrian trick needs to be guarded
against with equal wariness. The difference be-
tween the two empires is mainly that Germany is
pro-German, while about half of the people of Aus
tria anti-German. This is the half that forces
The Austrian government to make desperate efforts
for peace but is the half which that govern
ment's hangmen and firing squads have been deci-
mating. The allies cannot possibly reward their
supporters in Austria, whose anti-GerTnansm is put
ting pressure upon the Austrian government by
making peace their expense
1t would be premature at present 20 discuss what
solution or the Austrian problem would best serve
justice and durable peace it is obvious the
allies under a moral obligation to see that ia
way another the v-ongs OF their supporters
IN Austria-Hungary are set right They owe much
70 the Czechs and Jugo-Slavs; they owe nothing 20
the house Of Hapsburg aud less than nothing to the
corrupt Austro Hungarian bureaucracy The re-
formation Of the Austrian empire may be a stag
geriug problem, bat restoration of the bad aid-or
der is aHthiHkable and until Austria has not only
reHounced the BFest=Litsgsk treaties bat set its
own house in order discussion of peace would be
premature. The root of the present world disaster
was able to the peoples Of Austria Hungary as
vassals and this must be allowed to happen

Breaking the Tobacco Habit.

Breaking the Tobacco Habit.
If man has the tobacco habit,
and is quite sure he has it, there is
nothing particular to worry about.
But it is important to be sure, first,
that he is a man, and second, that
he has the habit. Ii in doubt about
the second point, the tobacco user
can easily determine for himself
whether he has the habit or the
habit has him. This is done by
emitting the tobacco one day a
week. 1t is very simple. That is,
if the man has the habit. If the
habit has the man it is not so easy.
Any youth under the age of q
caught using tobacco or having it
in his possession deserves severe
punishment, for there is no posi-
BILE defense for the use of tobacco
by boys.
One famous method of breaking
the tobacco habit, especially if you
are a cigar smoker, is to delegate
to your wife the duty of selecting
your cigars. A man who enters
upon this arrangement and sticks
to it and refrains from interfering
with his wife's taste and judgment,
is pretty sure to give up the habit
in a short time. If you have no
wife l do not recommend marriage
with any such Interior motive, but
l do recommend marriage. II
there were more marriages there
would be less abuse of tobacco.
Don't let the tobacco habit get
you, and then when or if the time
comes that you want to give it up
you will have no trouble, for surely
man who can get along all day
Thursday without tobacco can get
along on several smokeless days a
week if he so wills This is theory,
of course. I've never tried it my
self, because the tobacco habit
hasn't got me yet.
Stay away from the movies. Tn
til We get smokeless movies the
pictures will continue to WELD an
evil influence. The hero and the
