Mr.. Hughes's Aircraft Report
peace.

One reads Mr. Hughes's exhaustive
and finely impartial report on the air
craft situation with curiously mingled
feelings. 1t is at once proud achieve
ment and humiliating record. We have
produced what is, on the official testi-
mony Of the British Air Ministry, the
finest aircraft engine of its kind in the
world, and are producing it in quantity.
Mr.. Hughes cannot find that there
was any very serious delay in the time
of bringing this motor to the point of
production, but when that was achieved
the quantity might have been greater than
it has been. 1t is clear that the organi-
zation Of the whole aircraft work was
defective, lacking in plan and definite
centralized authority. There was an
obvious mistake, which was clear almost
from the beginning, in the choice of Gen
eral Squier to be the titular head. And
it is Mr.. Hughes's conclusion that
Colonel Deeds ought never to have con-
tinued as the actual production head.
The evidence of this lack of coherent or
ganization was all very clear full year
ago, and it was duly set forth in letter
to Chairman Coffin from Mr. Landon, the
present production head
1t is clear that Mr.. Coffin made a seri
Gus mistake in remaining at the head of
the Aircraft Board without any other
than merely advisory authority. He
jeopardized fine reputation in so doing.
1t seems equally clear that there were
waste and confusion and serious DELAYS
in many departments, but precisely be-
cause of the incohercnce of organization
it is now almost impossible to fix the
blame in individual cases. Yet out of all
this confusion has come veritable tri-
umph of engineering and industrial pro-
duction.
In Mr. Hughcs's conclusions one finds

A Wilson Peace

Mr.. David Lawrence, who makes the
interior mind of the Administration his
journalistic vocation, writes that he is
now permitted" to interpret Mr.. Will
sons appeal to his fellow countrylnen to
elect Democrats. When the President
spoke of the i'll effects Of Republican
victory upon foreign sentiment he was
thinking not only of Germany but per-
haps even more of the Allied countries,
particularly England and France, where
he has great prestige with the masses.
He was thinking, according to Mr. Law
renee, Of the fourteen points. He was
anxious for a vote of confidence so
that the word of American representa-
tives at the Paris conference may be as
potent as it was before the Republicans
attacked the fourteen points,"
1t is added that the fourteen points
have already been criticised in the Paris
conference and that if the Republicans
are victorious at the polls next Tuesday
the dissent of the Allies will increase.
Therefore, what Mr.. Wilson desires
is such an Endorsement of the four-
teen points by his countrymen that he
will be able to press them upon Eng
land and France. He did not say so.
He put his appeal on other grounds
The fourteen points have been ac-
cepted by Germany.
They have never been accepted by the
Allied governments.
They have never been put to vote
in this country.
AS they stand they are unacceptable
to great many American citizens, both
for things they contain and for things
omitted
Criticism of them is all of one char
acter. Wherein they are rigorous thev
are not explicit; wherein they are ex-
plicit they are not rigorous enough,
The Allies have before them a re-
quest for an armistice as preliminary
to peace negotiations based upon four
teen conditions concerning which there
was no previous agreement. Appar
emily they, too, are expected to support
the President with undivided minds.
Then the world might have a Wilson

But Not the Soul
The Ne,U York Tribune
FOREIGN Press Bureau


Alfred Capus publishes in the Figaro
of Paris an appeal for vigorous action in
the peace conference, and emphasizes it
with picture Of things if Germany were
in the position Of victor.
What would the conditions have been
if three months ago France had asked
for an armistice?" he says eff one re-
members the declarations of the Kaiser
in his speeches of that time one can
plainly see what they would have been.
"The triumph seemed to be assured,
and under the iron heel of the victor the
booty would have been divided. This
horrible thought, which since the victory
Of our armies had almost disappeared
from our mind, returns now when they
ask for peace.
eve feel defeat can change the atti
tude and the grimaces of a race, but not
the soul 1t will always remain the
same cruel and dangerous enemy, al
though the naughty attitude has been
replaced by disgusting humiliation.
Today when the enemy asks for peace,
he tries all kinds of ruses; he already
interprets the text of documents to
please himself. 1t is no use to treat with
such category of human beings. The
only answer should be: This is our i'm
placable will"
New-York tribune., 1918-11-01

her people, inspired by no heroic I'M
pulse, dominated by fear and a guilty
conscience, shuddering at the approach
of war toward her own frontiers, have
no stomach for continuation OF the
struggle. The German military regime
could die gloriously with its boots on.
1t has armies large enough to initiate
Napoleon's vrile finish in 1914. But it
lacks the heroic mood. 1t is stepped in
materialism and fabbiness, too long fed
on the illusions of easy conquest.
Germany used to boast: "Thc more
enemies, the more honor" 1t was an in
sincere reflection of German arrogance.
That is not the spirit of the Germany Of
William H. Here is the true spirit of
Germany, as described BY that most
clear sighted of living Germans, DR..
Wilhelm Muhlon.
They arc like barbarians, who become
intoxicated with victory. even if it has
been achieved at the expense of defence
less opponents. With Wild hurrahs they
are already distributing in their tents the
treasures and the men taken as booty.
But If strong, courageous enemy of
whose approach in their hour of victory
they had no warning should surprise
them they would again take hasty flight
to their swamps and forests and would be
as content with these as they were for
merly eager to roam all over the earth,
mere vagrants without any understanding
of distances world relationships,
Germany was ferocous in her hour Of
triumph She will be panic stricken and
cringing in her hour of defeat.
New-York tribune., 1918-11-01

Richmond. Instead Of campaign, we
shall henceforth look for a military
promenade by the Italians until they have
liberated their own invaded territories
and approached the gates of Trieste.
Then, as the essential preliminaries to
an armistice, Austria will have to sur
render Trieste, Pola and the Trentino,
with Franzenfeste.
There is poetic justice in the present
success of Italy The long series of re-
verses which brought US to our grave
crisis last June began on the military
side with the Italian disaster at Capo
retto. The turn of the tide which has
carried us to certain victory began with
the Italian victory at the Piave last
June. 1t would be an unfair thing if
the Italians were not able before an
armistice comes to drive the Austrans
from their own soil, as the Allies are
driving the Germans from French and
Belgian soil.
What a change, after all, end Of this
autumn sees! In the last weeks of 1915
isolated Serbia was sinking to swift
ruin. A year later Rumana was being
murdered before the eyes Of her allies.
betrayed by Russian autocracy, beyond
the reach Of Western allies. Last year
Caporetto was as grave shock to Allied
hopes as the fall of Bucharest had been
twelve months before. At this time
last year the Flanders campaign of the
British had died out in the mud of the
d. =
pointment was unmistakable. France
was still under the shadow Of Nivelle's
failure. The East was still in German
hands, Salonica was an interment camp
and Bagdad only vague promise
And now it is victory all around.
Flanders is cleared Of Germans, France
nearly delivered, the East is in Allied
hands, Turkey is finished, Austria falling
to pitiable chaos, Germany is on the
brink Of surrender. And it may easily
prove that as Italy supplied the first
splendid phase in the great cycle of vic
tories of the present year by her de-
fence at the Piave, she may supply the
final episode by her offensive thrust
across the same river. Thus in very
real sense the Piave is become the
Italian Marne.
Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria are
done; the campaign in Palestine finished
the Turk; the Battle Of the Czerna-Var-
dar cid for the Bulgar; if there is any
thing left for the Austrian, it will not
survive the Second Battle Of the Piave.
Our congratulations are. for Italy; she
has suffered much and labored long to
bring off this final success. And the
fruits of this victory insure the compile
ton OF the work of Cavour and Carl
baldi. Hencefortb the complete unifica-
ton of Italy is world fact. Italia
lrredenta is becoming only an evil
memory-like Alsace-Lorraine, a great
wrong at last rightly abolished.

Henry Ford

with a new interview with Henry Ford.
One wishes we could have one every week.
They relieve the strain. 1t is very diff
cult, it seems, to see Mr.. Ford. This
interview took whole week. But it
was worth while. Naturally the Sena
torship came first. This was how the
conversation went:
Il don't want the ,enatorship. think

ton, and did"
Went your being Senator interfere
with your job here ?"

won't spend as much time over the Sen
ate as some of them do
"But | reckon he added "he"-he
meant Mr.. Wilson--"and may put over
few things after the war"
Just what these things were Mr.. Ford
only obliquely disclosed
He finds that the nations "three great
arts" agriculture, industry and trans
portation, don't jibe' So Mr.. Ford is
going to take industry back to the farm
so that the farmer can work in the win
ter time. 1t is to be by little water

buy up and sell stock in. but big enough
to run little factory And water
