Because Of the great distance from
Africa, the American people have not
displayed very acute interest in the
proposal to withhold from Germany
possession of her colonies on the
Dark Continent after the war. 1t Is
known in a general way that the
present intention is to deprive the
enemy of those fertile lands and their
of slavery Further than that gen
eral interest ceases. 1t is taken for
granted present arrangements will be
prosecuted.
But evidence is at hand that pub
lie feeling is aroused and determined
in Australia. which, having lived adj

dence in that part of the world. Aus

COVER THERE.

Peasants in evacuated districts of
France are devoting little attention
are concentrated on a more pressing
and immediate subject, their exist
ence this winter. During their oceu-
patton of French territory. the Ger
mans stole everything of value. When
they retreated they destroyed what
ever they could not carry with them
and devastated the fields from which
the inhabitants had been wont to
wiring a living. AS a result famine
and desolation face the unfortunates
whom Fate decreed to live under the
mastery of the gray horde since it
first rushed across the border bent
on conquering the world. One of the
traits of French peasant character is
that he refuses to leave his little
home and plot of land no matter what
threatens and consequently thousands
were engulfed in the enemy food.
Heroic efforts are being made by
the American Committee of Devastat-
ed France to provide for the impov-
erished inhabitants. Mrs. A. M. Dixie
the representative of the committee
in France, has painted an illuminate
ing picture of the obstacles the work
ers must overcome Speaking of the
Aisne district, she writes: "If moth
ing whatsoever is done in this dis
trict this winter. I see the most ter
rifying misery, because there is
hardly a house with four walls intact
and for miles one can see
nothing but ruins-and by ruins
mean heaps of stones; in one or two
Of the larger cities it is almost i'm
possible to see the traces of streets
owing to the debris which has not
been cleared away
When we are sitting around our
comfortable firesides this winter
grumbling at the price of coal and
other so-called necessities, it might
be well to gaze into the dancing
flames and try to visualize the condi-
ton in which these unfortunate NOR
of us-find themselves.

AuStPia'S Appeal.
(From the New York Tribune

(From the New York Tribune.)
1t is evident that Germany has
abandoned the ambition to conquer
1.-THE world. Shall the world be CRATE
full on that account? Shall it parley
with the thing it resolved to destroy
for reasons which, if they are valid at
all, require free people rather to per-
ish than to compromise? To do so
would stultify democracy beyond the
imagination of it's posterity.
(From the New York SUM-
However Washington may view the
invitation, it is certain that the bid
from Vienna will bring no change
short of the imminence Of the real
peace-in the American purpose to
keep the war at it's present good
speed. The Austrian trainers of the in
vitatiOn appear to have anticipated
any suspicion of an attempt to cause
a cessation Of hostilities for that
point is touched upon in the note
(From the Washington Post)
Germany started this war; civiliza-
ton will finish it. The spirit that
animates the allied millions, which
commands them to get into battle and
conquer is the spirit of liberty That
spirit is now af1ame throughout the
world, and in outraged majesty is
driving its sword toward the heart of
it's assailant. Who will attempt to
stay Libert's hand? Who is the
statesman or ruler who will dare to
stay the execution of the assassin?
Who is the man who will TRY to inter-
fere with Gods will as voiced by His
People?

LLOYD GEORGE.
WILSON SEEN IN TRUE LIGHT.


Public opinion on President Will
sons appeal for support has had an
opportunity to crystalline over the
cations that the Boreal tempest Gre
ated by his political opponents is be-
ginning to abate.
In all fairness, it must be said that
many sincere supporters of the Pres
ident were panied to learn that he
had been forced to assume an active
role in sordid politics. Because of
his mastery handling of domestic
and international affairs, the Presi-
dent occupies a more exalted posi-
ton in the public mind than is usual
ly accorded to a man even in his sta
tion. 1t was, therefore, disappoint-
ING to MANY that he should re-
veal what they, on first Judgment
believed to be an Achillean heel. An
analysis of the situation proves that
President Wilson was guilty of no
greater sin than self defense. In
deed there are millions whose
faith prevents them from believing
that he sinned at all. Of course rad
zeal members of the opposition de-
nounce his act, but their attitude
NAV be discounted, as we may dis
count the expressions of the equally
radical members of his own party.
President Wilson, so his republican
critics say, violated his own admonl-
ton that politics is adjourned'. 1t
should be recalled that he made this
remark during the consideration of
the war revenue bill and that he in
tended it to cover the entire field of
politics during the war is inconceiV-
able. me phrase means noLullS, o"t
was seized by his critics, as so many
of his phrases have been seized, and
turned back on him for the purpose
of confounding the author by his
own words. But as Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, and
former President Theodore Roosevelt
had been guilty of flagrantly playing
politics. it is only fair to assume that
the President, seeing the danger that
was forced to resort to public APP
peal for support. Incidentally, it is
amusing to note the manner in which
former President Roosevelt is so
warmly welcomed back into The party
which he once smashed to pulp.
Politics makes strange bed fellows,
but never has there been an instance
i'm American politics when man like
Roosevelt, who had once been &C
cursed. had become so blessed.
The whole affair resolves itself into
a mental weighing of President Will
sons purpose in publishing his APP
neal. He has never before been &C
cused OF bad faith, His record is
immaculate. He adhered strictly to
q. discussion of the effect the Novem
Der 5th elections will have in foreign
capitals. There is only one way the
merican people can show their ap-
prevail or Reputation of an admins
tration, and that is by their voice at
the polls If the voters return to
Congress a majority of the same polit-
icaI faith as the President it must be
taken as a dem onstration of approval,
If, on the other hand, the voters send
to Congress a majority of the oppo-
sition party their act must be con-
sidered In the light of reputation
