"NO SEPARATE PEACE WITH
 GERMANY;" NEW DEM. SLOGAN

New York, Oct S.-George White chairman of the democratic national conl- rnittee, today announced a new slogan adopted by supporters of the league of nations idea for the remainder of the campaign. It is No separate peace with Germany"
 This rallying cry. MT White said, sis echoed in the hearts of all who favor the league. We have written it indelibly upon our purpose here at national head quarters.
 The speech of Senator Harding at Des Moines verifies the proposal in his speech of acceptance and his vote on the Knox resolution in favor of separate peace with Germany
 Tn the name of dead and living soI- diers, sailors and marines who delivered | the finishing thrust to the German army, and in the name of the men and women | who labored here at home to support | them the democratic party resents this l shameful proposal which can arise only from desire to truckle to the senti- ments of those who sympathized with the kaiser during the war.
 l We are for the treaty of Versailles which includes the covenant of the league of nations, and the republicans are com. mitted to a separate peace. deserting oul allies and permitting the Germans to es- cape all the obligations which defeat laiC upon them
 Tn the next three weeks you will SC, this country realize the obloquy of sucl stand by. the party of Lincoln, McKin ley and Roosevelt. The first prominen republican to resent it publicly, I learn is Herbert Parsons, former New Yorl congressman and former republican na tional committeeman from the Empir State. He has decided to support tn league by the only practical means Thi does credit to his patriotism and convic tions., We welcome him, fighting with u for cause beyond partisanship.

Seven were delivered in Missouri, long bitterly con tested sector of the league fight. In all of his Missouri speeches he also praised the service of Senator Spencer and asked that he be reelected.

In his open ing speech this morning at Paducah, he reiterated that the "oligarchy' was seek ing to annex the presidency" and also said that great menace, next to scrap ping of the league" was the prospect of four appointments soon to vacancies on the United States supreme court.
 Regarding Senator Harding's position, the governor said to his tabernacle audi ence tonight:
 Under the pressure of threat from Senator Borah the senatorial candidate for the presidency is now out in the open and his creed is America and America only To use his words, we must conse- crate ourselves to the welfare of Ameri- ca and not to the rest of the world. Muse we forget that we are still a part of the N rid, the dominion over which is in the hands of God? Even the sena- torial oligarchy can't promise us a new world of our own.
 If we are to live commercially, we have to trade with others. If we are to cut our products to our own consumption the mere adoption of that policy would carry us back fifty, years industrially But there is something more than the practical side. Are we to close our soul: against every thought of sympathy ant help and leadership. Are we to say Vt have no interest in Ireland nor Germany nor Austria, nor Russia, nor Poland, noi the other nations of the world war strug gling for democracy? Are We to clos, our eyes to the picture of starvation which spreads over half of Europe?
