Copyright 1913 by the United PressJ
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Peace
between the United States and
Austria can come only when the
Austrian people break with the
German junkers.
Possibility of such a peace is
strong.
To drive home the former statement
while convinced of the latter one Presi-
dent Wilson made his great address to
congress. the United Press can state
seni-oficially today.
WHAT THEY MUST KNOW.
The president wants the Austrian peo-
PIE to know that this is not d swash-
buckling nation.
His address was designed to answer
the peace note spreading throughout the
world-and at the same time TO serve
notice on the German junkers that
America is not dulled by the vageries
of Won Hertling
PRESIDENT HASN'T BACKED DOWN.
The president has not backed down
from his original stand on peace He
Will not deal with the German 5unkers.
The German PEOPLE must break away
from the absolute control of Hinden-
burg and Lundendorff. They need not
dethrone their kaiser who is regarded
by the president merely as a tool in the
hands of the militarists but they must
put in reforms such as will insure this
government dealing with the German
people-not the tunkers
NO ARMISTICE WITH GERMANY.
There must be no armistice with the
German military party-a peace that
would allow it to prepare merely for an
other war. Strong arm methods in Ger
many must yield to characterization.
The German controlled Austrian SOW
ernnent today IS under two ffres-ths
demands Of the people for peace and
the demands of the German junkers for
continuation of the war. That the peo-
pies in tho end viii win is the convic-
tion OF the president.
U. S. HAS FOOLED MILITAzIsTs.
The German militarists must eventu-
ally break under the destruction Of
their promises. They ridicuIed the
American army-but that was before
they saw that this country was prepar-
ing not lot n year . eApe0lIlOn Dut Tor a
war that VIII last indefinitely to win
her aims.
The Austrian people. after the presi-
dent made his last war aims speech TO
congress. demanded strongly the throw
ing off OF the junker influence. For p
time it looked as if they would win.
Czernin wavered before the cross-fires-
and then yielded once more TO the Ger
mans.
PERILoUs TO STAND BY GERMANY.
But once again the president has
struck out to show the Austrians the
futility of their allegiance and his
message might have been shortened to
read:
Break away from Germany and the
democracy of America Will receive you.
stand by Germany and you must take
the consequences along with the junk
ers Of that nation"

better for the government or some
Of your friends to give each Indian
a small farm and establish an indus

than to dole out money or provisions

this noble answer, expressing the
sentiment of his people:

could have a good school, somebody
that would advance us on the line
Of education, with less rations and
less money, and put the money in
the Indians head and heart, that
would do him more good than all the
money that you could send him.

When YOU were yOungSter, did you

OF course you did. What boy has not

BILE on such proposition and how Oft
en- has he repented Of his rash deed
when he discovered what he got in the
trade? He generally found that the
deal turned out to the advantage OF
the one who made the proposition.
There is little Of the gambling In
stinct in the blood Of nearly every man,
woman and child but even the hard
ened gambler likes to get a run for
his money" The "sight unseen" prop
osition doesn't appeal to him In the
least. There are thousands OF people,
however, who would be properly indig-
nant If they were accused of being
gamblers, who every day take chance
on the greatest gambling game in the
world. And worse than that. they are
risking their money on "sight ua-
seen" proposition.
When one Of the thousands Of per-
sons who build up and Keep up the
great mail order houses Of the country
sends his money away to pay for some
article that he has selected from the
mail order catalogue. he Is taking
chance ON getting what he expects to
get. The mail order house may be
perfectly honest and still the purchas-
er stands a good chance Of not get
ting what he expects to get. The mail
order catalogues are filed with pic
lures that catch the eye. The de-
scriptions are brief, as they must be
when thousands Of articles are to be
described within the confines Of one
book. No matter how hard the mail
order house might try to tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the
Truth, it would be an impossibility.
The buyer Is simply taking chance.
