Foch Hints at Renewed War.

a5.. Marshal Foch. ii is stated is prepared
to break off the armistice with Germany
j. Immediately if the terms imposed are
: not complied with. The armistice has
been extended for one month with GER
tain changes but it can be broken on
Forty eight hours notice by either side
F. The new terms OF the truce agreement
include the right of the allies to oc-
n'eHpy that part of the Strassburg de
fense comprising the forts on the
eastern bank OF the Rhine and a strip
of territory from three to six miles
beyond. Another new clause substi-
:. 3utes large quantities Of industrial and
agricultural implements for 800 loco
.@motives and 300 ears required by the
extension OF December II. All Ger
f, man submarines must be turned over,
including submarine cruisers, mine
!. layers. sweepers, salvage ships and
floating docks for u-boats; the build
a ing of all submarines must cease and
those now on the stocks must be dis
/" mantled or destroyed German mer-
cantne ships are to be placed at the
disposal of the allies in return for food
: supplies
Each extension of the armistice
!" terms has involved an increasing Sc
verify This. however, is not due to
German responsibility for prolongng
the period of peacemaking. 1t is due
to the disclosure of the need of addi-
tional safeguards against German
treachery and to insure the speediest
: possible industrial restoration in the
lands ravaged by the enemy.
q Marshal Foch is evidently at the end
i.ef his patience in respect to Germany's
.Alack observance of the armistice con-
: dftions. OF course, he would not move
: toward the resumption of warfare
= Without the most urgent cause. If he
s has reason to think that the enemy is
!. preparing secretly for treacherous
blow, or If he knows that the terms
J are being evaded, the intimation given
as coming from him that renewed hos
: tilities may be necessary should cause
!, an immediate change in German pol
icy. Greatly as the allies would dis
like to resume warfare, the Germans
have far more to fear from further
s lIos&ilities.
Matthias Erzberger, chief of tnv ez---
.msn armistice commission, protests
against the status in which Germany
IS left by the prolongation of the ar
mistice, and asks when the allies
would be in a position to conclude a
: preliminary peace. Germany, he says,
-bas asked six times for negotiations
so- preliminary peace, but has received
ane reply. Evidently Herr Erzberger
: does not appreciate that the present
{. truce is preliminary peace, the only
= ene that will be negotiated pending
: the writing of the final peace treaty.

The Presidency,

'I saw it stated the other day that
Roosevelt was not nominated for Vice
President by the republican bosses in
order to shelve him, but by public
sentiment seeking strong running
mate for Mckinley"
eyes; l saw that, and believe it.
Roosevelt, you know, was very popu-
lar at that time. The laurels he had
won in Cuba were fresh on his brow,
and he had recently won his spurs in
New York state politics. He was the
most promising youngster in the coun-
try"
"Had he declined the nomination, to
whom would it probably have gone9"
~. P. Dolliver of Iowa, then a mem
ber of the House, had many admirers,
and was under discussion. He might
have been the man. He was an orator
of reputation, young, and ambitious.
Mckinley liked him"
"What's your guess about the sort of
President he'd have madee"
II shouldn't like to guess He might
have made good one, though orators,
as rule, make poor executives"
s.Has there ever been a popular or
ator in the White Houses"
"One-Garfeld. But he remained
only a few months-not long enough
to show quality as an executive. He
made an unfortunate start. His party
was already in a snarl about patronage
when he was killed. Lincoln was not
spellbinder; and Benjamin Harrison
"a capital speaker-fe1l just short of
oratory. Both possessed the executive
faculty-Lincoln to remarkable de-
gree"
"Had Dolliver drawn the prize in the
lottery of death that Roosevelt drew
he would probably have stood for the
nomination in 1904 in his own name,
as Roosevelt did?"
"Almost certainly, should say, and
had Roosevelt for a rival That would
have made gallant struggle. Both
we're young, clean and capable. Roose-
welt, you will remember, had no rival
that year. Some of the bosses were
keen for a candidate against him in
the national convention, but were un-
able to develop one. Teddy was too
much for them. He broke the record.
Tyler, Fillmore, Johnson and Arthur
his predecessors in the presidency as
the result of death-all failed of in
dorsemcnt. Roosevelt was nominated
by acclamation, and on election day
made a show of his opponent"
Towa has never had President"
scNo, but has offered some good men
for recognition. Years ago, Senator
Harlan was mentioned for the Office.
In 1896 Horace Boies was balloted for
when Bryan was nominated. Senator
Allison was often mentioned, and
James B. Weaver was the idol Of the
greenbackers of the country. Senator
Cummins is a likely man. and may
try his luck again next year"

the vast bulk of the actual work of
