The people of Paris were stunned
by the rapidity with which the Ger

In describing the exploits of the

the outfits splendid showing last
March during the German drive in the
vicinity of Amiens. He said the 9Th

such towns as Carbie. Warfusee-

the 9Th on this front was to throw

Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig,

an appeal, in addressing his soldiers
which stirred responsive chord in
the. hearts of the allied peoples

weeks the. enemy had battered the
English lines in a desperate effort to
separate them from the French and
drive through to the channel ports.
Day after day the British had been
driven back. April 10. 1918. Marshal
Haig called upon his men for one last
effort. Every position must be held
to the last man" he ordered. There
must be no retirement. With our
backs to the wall and believing in the
justice OF our cause. every one of US
must fight to the end"

DECLARES NO RUSSIAN

NJ. Pichon, French Foreign Min
lister, Freely Discusses Status
of Peace Problems.

PARIS, January &c (By the AS
ISOLATED ss).-Stephen Pichon. the
French foreign minister, received
the Associated Press and a number
of American, British, Italian and
Japanese newspaper correspondents
at his private office in the foreign
ONCE today and talked freely and
frankly of the status of the big for
eign questions as they are affected
by the conference.
1--WE have no response from any of
the Russian elements" said the min
lister. answering the first question.
The minister was asked il these
n-oficial statements were accepted
as indicating that the meeting at
Princes Islands would not take place.
There is some doubt as to that"
replied NJ Pichon, as the boil
shevists in this non-official statement
do not say positively that they will
not attend, but merely present some
objections"
Explains Russian Plan.
Concerning the. opposition in some
quarters to inviting the Russian fac
tons to Princes Islands, NJ Pichon
said:
Evidently that grew out of the as
sumption that the invitation to all the
Russian elements was equivalent to
recognition of the bolshevist gov
eminent. But that is not the case.
The invitation was to all factions in
an effort to bring them together.
There was no intention of recognize
ing the bolshevists or any other fac
ton"
AS to whether a meeting could be
arranged elsewhere than Princes
Island, the minister replied that was
a question for the council The min
lister added, however, that the opinion
expressed by the Russian groups in
Paris seemed to embody the views of
the governments they represented.
Concerning the various interests in
Syria and Arabia, NJ Pichon expressed
by mutual concession"
League Requires Much Work.
In. reply to. the question as to how
long it would be before there was an
agreement on the league 81 nations
he said:
THAT is difficult to say before we
have full plan. The drafting will be
the work of a committee, and then
Lie ConICIS hCC III uSS Pooo VA StO - ~
But it is evident that there will be an
agreement on a common plan"
Speaking of, claims for reparation,
NJ. Pichon. said that France and all
the other countries interested were
preparing data, but it would take,
some time to arrive at exact figures.
Territorial questions, he went on,
were beginning to be considered now
in connection with the various ques-
tions before the council. AS to the
possibility of the discussion of the
league of nations delaying territorial
adjustments he said:
Not at all, as the examination of
the two questions proceeds along par
allel lines"
Relative to the French attitude
toward the holding of the left bank of
the Rhine NJ. Pichon declared that va
rious published reports were prema-
ture and more or less incorrect.
With respect to the consideration of
disarmament, the minister said that
it was part of the discussion of the
league of nations, but beyond that had
not been taken up.

Slogans, Epigrams and La

in World Struggle.
MANY IN TENSE CRISES

NEW YORK. January 27.-The war
has developed many dramatic phrases.
slogans, terse epigrams or laconic
statements. Looking back over the
perspective of four years of fighting
it appears that the majority Of these
grew out of tense crises in battles or
marked historic moments when the
fate of nations hung in the balance.
Take. for example, the slogan
They shall not pass" During the
tremendous fighting in front of YER
dun. when the Germans made their
great desperate drive to break
through the French battle lines in
1916, this saying passed from lip to
lip among the French soldiers gath
cred there in a long-drawn battle to
check the terrific onslaught of the
Germans. How it originated is not
clear. Some have attributed it to
tain, who was in command of the
French fighting forces at Verdun.
Others believe the saying originated
with the men in the ranks: AT any
event, they adopted it and for months,
while the Germans vainiy threw
their battalions upon the stubbornly
defended forts around the French
city, the saying They shall not
pass" became the watchword az Yer
dun. And they did not pass.

Fallacies of Free Speech"

One of the attorneys defending Victor L.
Berger, on trial for sedition before federal
court pleads that speech should be free and un-
trammeed even in war time. This has already
been so deliberately debated that it seems ire
markable that it should again be brought for
ward as defense for one who has fagrantly
violated the right. The abuse of free speech
may well carry with it penalty that in itself
puts no tint of jeopardy on the right.
In the case of Berger, the whole cause Of
freedom throughout the world was involved.
1t was the judgment of the far greater part of
his fellow-ctizens that all their liberties were
in danger, and that they must take up arms to
defend them. This was opposed by the Mil
waukee socialist leader and his associates, who
saw in the extremity of civilization an oppor-
tunity to overturn the existing social order and
substitute one of their own continuance, There
fore, the question became one for decision be-
tween the smaller and the greater groups. 1t
seemed to most that the course taken by the
socialist group would help the kaiser .
In bolsheyism, which was rapturously ap-
plauded at socialist gathering in Chicago on
Sunday afternoon, where the party's candidate
for mayor was the chief speaker, may be noted
the inevitable outcome of the Berger doctrine,
when carried to its logical conclusion. Social
ism, as taught by the reds, either here or
abroad, runs into anarchy as naturally as water
runs down hill. Once under Roadway, it tends
to disorder and violence, with only destruction
and desoation as its goal
If the institutions of our government are to
be preserved, it will be dangerous to permit the
quality OF "free speech sought by those who
use it solely to abuse and deride existing social
forms, with purpose to destroy them Prog
ress does not come through such exhibitions as
we now witness in Russia.

On the Road to Worlds Peace.

1t now seems to be the program for the Yer
sallles conference to give first consideration to
the problems of the present. After the definite
terms for settlement with Germany have been
decided upon, the questions of the future will
be taken up. Separation of the general problem
into its natural divisions has been found neces-
sary on account of the sharp difference of opin-
ion coming up over some of the points for dis
cussion. Chief among these are freedom Of the
seas and the league of nations.
Clemenceau, Tiger of France" has fatty
declared for retention of "the balance of
power" at least so far as Europe is concerned.
Mr.. Wilson has with equal emphasis declared
against this insisting on concert of nations
How these divergent views will harmonic must
await the outcome. 1t is possible, and without
violence to either, for even a concert of nations
can not exist without physical force to give its
moral authority vital effect
England's statesmen with one voice, pro-
claim the intention of preserving the British
navy, on,whch the safety of the empire, and in
the present war, that Of the world, has depended

which animate our president, they do not at
tempt to disguise determination to make
Great Britain's interests secure by' maintenance
of the navy. France has subscribed to this
view.

Mr.. Wilson's Future

1t is announced that the position of president
of the University of North Carolina is open
to Woodrow Wilson at a salary Of $4,000 a
year. This is exceedingly liberal pay for the
presidency of university, but it is said that
the North Carolina institution is able to pay it
by reason of large bequest from the widow
of Henry M. Flager. A significant sentence in
the dispatch announcing the news states: "Presi-
Diet Wilson is said to be interested in the pro-
posal."
Numerous suggestions have been put for
ward from time to time making provision for
the future of President Wilson. 1t has been
suggested that at the close of his term he devote
his attention to writing history of the war

And it may be added that they will come from

that by that time definite provision for the
