The President’s Note.
What at. English Churchman Says.
LONDON, Dec. 25. The dean of West
minster, Right Rev. Herbert Edward
Ryle, preaching in the Abbey today,
said:
“It is our resolve, God helping us, to
overthrow military brigandage in Eu
rope, to rescue the liberties and homes
of the desolated countries, to obtain foi
those people reparation for their wrongs
and for humanity lasting securities
against a recurrence of aggressive vio
lence and crime.
“It is true that the President of the
United States after two years of study
of the question and innumerable notes
seems to believe that the object of the
two groups of belligerents is the same.
He knows that Germany refused arbi
tration, declined a conference and re
jected every overture to prevent war.
“He knows that his own coun rymen
have poured money like water to assist
the destitute and outraged remnants of
the little Belgian people wt.ose treaty
rights were violated and whose frontiers
were invaded before war was declared.
He knows of the infractions of The
Hague conventions, which the American
people have studiously promoted.
“He knows of all the details of the or
ganized atrocities reported upon in strict
inquiries. He knows of the sinking of
uie unarmea passenger snips, use me
Lusitania and Arabia, without notice or
warning. He knows of the murder of
Capt. Fryatt, of the nocturnal deporta
tions of Belgians and French into slav
ery. He knows of German connivance at
Armenian massacres.
“And yet he is of the opinion that the
Nations nho are leagued to disarm this
evil demoniac of National militarism
have the same extreme in vi< w as the
perpetrators of these historic crimes.
“President Wilson has either in a fit
of mental aberration sent the wrong note
or tie has entirely misapprehended „tne
'.European situation.
“These tilings are black and vile. The
very thought of them on Christmas Day
makes one shudder. Does anyone sup
pose that peace would be honorable
which regarded the assailants and the
defenders of humanity as having in view
the same ends? What kind of unity of
extreme do you expect between wolves
and sheep dogs over the fleeces of torn
lambs?
“Peace on the basis of such a hypothe
sis would he only an armistice giving an
exhausted foe a much needed interva
for recuperation before renewing his in
satiable passion for the hegemony of tiie
world and the destruction of his rivals
with a savage war.”
Dispute President’s Right to “Abandon
Our Historic Policy of isolation.”
Washington, Dec. 25. Further indi
cation that President WilBon’s peace note
insofar as it foreshadows the entrance
of the United States into an international
league to enforce peace, will be the sub
ject of a sharp controversy in Congress,
came today, when Congressman John J.
Rogers of Massachusetts, a Republican
member of the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs, addressed a letter to
Mr. Lansing, Secretary of State, de
manding that he answer certain ques
tions as to the intentions of the Admin
istration in this regard.
Mr. Rogers does not believe that Presi
dent Wilson has the right without the
consent of Congress to overturn the
traditional policy of isolation which this
country has maintained Bince the days of
George Washington, especially when the
niomhorghin in n Ipmitiip tn pnforpp npacp
will make necessary the maintenance of
a sufficient military and naval establish
ment to do the “enforcing.”
Mr. Rogers’ view is exactly that which
was stated in the special despatch from
Washington this morning, as embodying
thetgeneral opinion of members of Con
gress who have studied Mr. Wilson’s
peace note. Mr. Rogers said in an inter
view today:
“Mr. Wilson, apparently^ without real
ization of what he was doing, has made
an epoch - making announcement, the
purpose of which is to sweep away the
foundation on which American inter
national relations rest.”
Here is the text of Mr. Rogers’ lettei
to Secretary Lansing:
“In a statement given to the press or
Saturday last and described as ‘8 official, ’
the .view is set forth that the Rresidenl
has the power to commit this country tc
the abandonment of our historic policy
of isolation from entangling alliances
without asking the consent of anyone,
even of the Senate. The statement
further • indicates, however, that the
President’s present plans contemplate
treaty alliances with Foreign Nations
and that these treaties would require the
consent of the Senate.
“As a|member of the Committee or
Foreign Affairs of the House of Repre
sentatives 1 beg to propound to you the
following query:
“Does the Administration hold that by
treaty or otherwise, without the consent
ot the Congress, it has the power to com
mit the United States to membership lr
an armed international league to enforce
peace?
As a representative in Congress of a
great industrial community I woulc
further ask: ‘Does the Administrator
hold that by treaty or otherwise without
the consent of the Congress it has the
power to commit the United States tc
membership in an armed international
league to enforce peace under an agree
ment which would require us to arbitrate
before a foreign tribunal our right to ex
clude Chinese or Japanese cheap labor?’ ”
Thinks German Threats Brought Aboul
President’s Offer.
Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: Youi
editorials on taking Secretary Lansing tc
task for his “on the verge of war, which
he afterward retracted, were justly call
ed for. But now the cat is out of the
bag. Germany evidently has again snap
nnci in IVA e Wllurtn^u ■foots tirnK.
ably on the submarine question. Tbe
President’s cold and selfish note is the
result. See how it has been received in
Berlin and Vienna, with rejoicing; how
Hall Caine answers it from England with
sorrow. How selfish Mr. Wilson must
seem to the Allies, who are suffering
such untold slaughter, when he writes
about our neutrality, alongside of their
frightful woes!
Prussian domination feeds on slavery.
We see actual slavery for Belgians, but
a touch of it already extends around the
world. We have felt it. Mr. Wilson
tries to keep it to himself, but it is the
crack of the slaver’s whip that prevents
this Administration from showing its
hand. We are not on the verge of war
now any more than we have been. When
Carranza can outbluff this Administra
tion, the crack of the slaver’s whip can
only cause another note of humiliation.
Mr. Wilson’s note has caused rejoicing
in Berlin-. Count von Bernstorff shows
his satisfaction. Now, he says, we can
have a conference. A conference with
whom? The slave driver who lays his
whip upon the table? That will not be
acceptable by David Lloyd-George, who
patterns after our own Abraham Lin
coln, whose famous words he quotes.
Mr. Wilson might sit at tbe table, and
so would Mr. Bryan, who so quickly con
gratulates him. The American people,
however, will not' shake hands with the
slave driver. He must step aside before
his country can have peace. Germany

.driver’s whip. Until she takes that whip

Brooklyn, December 24, 1916,
Lieut. wiLBUK j. carver, u. s, n.
Lieut. Wilbur J. Carver entered Dec.
27th on his new duties as Censor of the
German Radio Station at Sayville, L. I.
This is one of the largest and most
powerful radio stations in the world. It
handles a large volume of messages, and
communicates with but a single station,
which is located at Natauanbach in the
Mountains of Germany. The Sayville
station is entirely under the charge of
the United States Naval Department and
more than 60 men are required to conduct,
and guard it.
Lieut. Carver is one of three naval
lieutenants who censor all messages sent
and received, each one being on duty 24
hours at a time. In addition to this
Lieut. L. E. Lindsey, as ranking officer
present, is in charge of the administra
tion. Sayville is on the southern coast
of Long Island about one and a half hourp
from New York City. In winter it is a
village of three or four thousand inhabi
tants, but during the season it is a great
summer resort.
Lieut. Carver at the beginning of the
war in 1914 was an officer on the armored
cruiser Tennessee on one ,of the most re
markable voyages in the annals of the
Navy. This was the mercy trip of the
Tennessee, when she carried $4,600,000 in
gold from America to Europe for the
relief of stranded Americans. She also
carried from places of peril to safety
zones, no less than 6429 war refugees.
In September, 1916 Lieut. Carver was on
the Memphis, formerly called the Ten
nessee, at the time Bhe was wrecked in
San Domingo harbor, 20 sailors drowned
and the cruiser lost. He has written an
interesting account of his personal ex
periences during this catastrophe. Dur
ing his leave of absence Litut, and Mrs.
Carver were the guests of Lieut Carver’s
mother, Mrs. Clara Carver, in Searsport.
They left December 26 for Sayville where
they expect to remain two years.

“It is all very well to say, ‘Let us get
their terms of peace.’ Yes, bul can you
get any terms more binding than the
treaty for the protection of the neutral
ity of Belgium? Can you come to any
conclusions on paper or by promises that
will gives us greater security than we
had before this war?
“Not this Nation alone, but tne neu
tral Nations, will, I hope, understand
the ,position at which we have now
arrived. Germany has made peace pro
posals? On what basis? On the basis of
her victorious armies. Is there a man
who, considering the conditions undsr
which this war was forced on ub and the
conditions under which the war has been
carried on, honestly believe that the
dangers and insecurities from which we
have suffered can be cured in any way
than but by making the Germans realize
that frightfulness does not pay, that
militarism is not going to rule the world.
“What are we fighting for? Not ter
ritory, not greater strength as a Nation.
We are fighting for two things—for peace
now and for security for peace in time to
come. L t the House remember that
what has happened in this war—outrages
in Belgium outrages by sea and land,
massacres in Armenia which Germany
could have stopped by a word—then real
ize this:
The war will have been fought in vain,
utterly in vain, unless we can make sure
that it shall never again be in the power
of any State to do what Germany has
done.
“Is peace to come in this war on the
basis that the greatest crime in the
world’s history is to go absolutely un
punished? It is my firm belief that un
less all the Nations in the world can be
made to realize that these moral forces
must be vindicated there never can be an
enduring peace.
“I am not afraid, I am Bure our
troops will fight to the end. If the peo
ple at. home, who up to now have made
few sacrifices, except the sacrifice of
those dear to them, are determined in
this matter, and if they believe that the
objects for which they are fighting can
be secured, then there is no sacrifice we

U. S. V. j
FBPRISES have not ceased in !
the surprising world war, now
well into its third year. The
more important of these sur
prises in 191(1 have been in France, at
sea. ou the Italian front and in the
Balkans. In January the Germans,
who were supposed to he on the defen
sive in France, sprang a vicious attack
along a five mile front in the Cham
pagne. Farther north, on Vimy ridge,
and at Ypres, Belgium, they stormed
British trenches. SCO yards and GOO
yards in lengtl^, While attention was
thus drawn to the northern 'front the
Germans suddenly launched heavy at
tacks on Fob. 2‘J north of Verdun,
starting a tremendous drive against
that famous salient, which the crown
prince originally struck at in August.
1914. Three days later Fort Pouau
mout. four miles from the city, was
captured following a bombardment
which nearly razed its walls, '.'ext |
day the Germans captured six fort hied !
French villages and on the “9;h shifted .
the attack from the north to the south
east. Fighting continued for weeks.
The midd’e of May it was evident that
tile Fren.h line would hold in front of
the city itself.
The element of surprise in the Ver
dun drive lay in that the Germans
would risk heavy losses in storming
fortification's for the mere purpose ap
parently of shortening their front.
Counterdrive by the Allies.
It has been hinted that the German
offensive at Verdun was launched to
forestall an expected Anglo-French of
fensive against the German communi
cation farther north. Such a move
ment was launched the 1st. of July
along the river Somme and the river
Ancre, Feronne and Banaume being
the objectives. Every day for two
weeks either the French or British
plunged forward, now capturing a vil
lage, now a woods. Again the Ger
mans would retake ground by desper
ate counterattack. Supposed keys like
Contalmaison and Combles were cap
tured. but I’eronne and Bapamne still
cover the railroad along which the
Germans on the battle line in France
receive their supplies through Belgium.
At the end of two weeks of forward
movements on the Somme. Uoyd
Goorge, British minister of war. ex
claimed in a council of leaders. “Vic
tory is beginning to flow in our di
rection.”
Russia Conies Back.
Lloyd-George evidently included in
the flow of victory Russia's great en
IC11JU9C8 111 UCI BUULU»*CiH <11
Bukowina and eastern Galicia. The
Russians had been expelled from the
Warsaw and Vistula line in the au
tumn of 1919, but a considerable body
remained in eastern Bukowina and
just outside its borders. The Austro
Germans had also left garrisons for
their original fortifications there. Early
in January the Russians began a drive
in the vicinity of Czemowitz. Noth-1
ing of consequence resulted, but the j
movement, taken in connection with j
attacks in the district of Vilna and
Dvinsk. in the north, gave proof that
Russia still had aggressive power. "In
June General Brusiloff assumed com
mand in the southwest and, aiming for
Lemberg, turned the flank of the Aus
trian defenses in Volhynia and Buko
wina. In one week the Russians claim
ed 80,000 prisoners, captured the for
tress of Dubno. also Czernowitz, and
were marching upon Lutsk and Kovel.
But about ibe time that Lloyd-George I
voiced his optimism the Russians found
themselves checked on the river Stok
hod and on the Dniester, south.
Greatest of Naval Battles.
Lloyd-George ulso had in mind the
naval battle of Jutland, which took |
place on the last day of May. This \
has been called the greatest naval ac
tion in history. It was the greatest to
date in this war. The British claimed j
a great victory, which amounts to a
confession that the German navy is |
by no means a negligible factor. The
Germans ventured to sea seeking bat
tle. They overcame the advance Brit
ish column and were not checked un
til the lieltVy British battleships ar
rived on the scene.
Botli sides lost heavily In battleships,
cruisers, destroyers and men. In a
tactical sense the action was a draw,
hut it demonstrated that the German
navy is not “bottled up.”
Early in the spring the Italians re
sumed activities on the line of the
Isonzo, particularly at Goritz. In April |
the Austrians suddenly began an of- !
tensive against Italian positions in |
Trentino, which the latter had inf ad- !
eij May, 1915. This move was a com- j
plotc surprise and forced the Italians
into hurried retreat. At the end of
May Austria reported 80,000 prisoners
and 200 cannon as the spoils of two
months’ operations. By the middle of
June the'Italians had turned on their
enemy, and the great offensive .was •
checked. t
The Austrian movement was evi
dently timed to affect Italy’s aggressive
movements in the south, where the ob
jective of the Italians is Trieste.
Goritz stood in the way of progress
toward the coveted citadel. It fell
Aug. 9. Since the fall of Goritz the
Italians have made slow progress to
ward Trieste. j
Something was needed in the allied
camps at midsummer to pull up wan
ing hopes, hopes dashed by the aban
donment of the Gallipoli expedition
early in January, the surrender of Ivut- 1
el-Amara with 10,000 British soldiers '
in April, the subjugation of Servia and
Montenegro and the menacing situa- !
tion in Greece. The allies’ infantry j
from Gallipoli had been transferred to
Saloniki with the evident purpose of
marching northward and taking the
Bulgar forces in Servia and on their
own borders in the rear.
Serious Outlook For Germany.
In some respects it seemed as though
the allies hail unloaded a dead weight
by abandoning the direct attack upon |
f-rmefniifim-xytlcx rnu„ Tiuccinm, nlmaot
from tlie beginning of the war had
been coming down into Asia Minor in
a direction which would bring them
into junction with the British column
moving up the Tigris river toward Bag
dad in February Russia captured Er
zerum, Mesopotamia, from the Turks.
This was followed two months later
by the capture of Trebizond, on tile
Black sea. Russia's southward march
from bases in her own home territory,
backed up by her fleet on the Black
sea, really a strategic prolongation of
her line in Bukowina and Galicia, con
stituted a menace to German ambition
in the near east.
The elimination of Servia us a factor,
which was made certain in the winter
of 1910, and the certainty that Turkey
could be relied upon for troops and
supplies, coupled with the apparent dif
ficulty of the allies in launching a
stroke in flip back of the Teutonic
powers through Greece, brought up
again the supposed German dream of
a Beilin to Bagdad route. This dream
was dissipated when it became evi
dent that Russia was forcing the
Turks out of Mesopotamia aud effec
tively co-operating w’fcli the allies at
Sa loniki. The situation of Germany
had a serious look ns autumn came on,
with Verdun untakeii. the allies storm
ing a third line on the Sotnme and the
Russians displaying enough vigor in'1
their southwest to hold the Austrian
forces at full strength in Volhynia,
Bukowina and Greece. Then sudden
ly Roumania east her lot with the al
lies and, as it. was supposed, added
400,ObO men to the enemies of the
Teuton on the Vienna to Constantino
ple line.
Von Hindenburg Scores Again.
How Von Hindenburg turned to grap
ple with this new foe is the most sur
prising chapter in the history of the
war. a new example of efficiency at
headquarters and in the fighting ranks.
Xo check worthy of the name was suf
fered after crossing two frontiers un
til converging armies met before doom
ed Bukharest, taken on Dec. (i.
Roumania seems to have repeated
the French blunder of August. 1914,
wheu, instead of going to the aid of
Belgium. Joffre sent a big army to re
cover Alsace. Instead of stabbing Bul
garia, Roumania marched north into
Hungary, a move which invited Ger
mans and Bulgurs to strike at her vi
tals from the south. So. while Von
Mackensen marched and conquered in
the general direction of the Danube,
central Roumania and Bukharest. the
Roumanians, who had poured over her
northern border, were easily turned
back, their conquests wrested from
them and the entire venture of ttie
last of the Balkan states was turned
into a fizzle, so far as support of the
allies was concerned. There remains
Greece—at least the rebellious part of
it—to stimulate the hope that the Teu
tonic powers may yet receive a vital
thrust in the back. The conquest of
Roumania required time, energy and
lives. Whether the compensation will
equal the investment time alone can
tell. The end of 1910 finds the German
powers resourceful in men and un
daunted in spirit. On the other hand,
the allies' cabinets are reorganizing to
restore the flow of victories to the
channels of midsummer. Lloyd-George
became British premier Dec. 7.
Miscellaneous Events.
Minor events of the war were the
torpedoing of the British channel
steamer Sussex, the transfer of the
submarine war zone across the Atlan
tic in Octolier nod General TCitehenei-’o
death at sea. Air craft battles have
been many. Derce and deadly; casual
ties of all kinds have been heavy.
Outside of war the old world has ,
been normal, with the exception of a
brief rebellion in Ireland, which had
been expected and was ruthlessly sup- !
pressed. Japan and Russia formed an
agreement, and Japan made new de
mands upon China, whose ruler, Yuan
Shili Kai, died in June. Deaths abroad
during the year included Franz Joseph,
emperor and king; Carmen Sylva, Rou
manian queen dowager and a person
ality of note; Dr. Metehnikoff, the bac
teriologist; Mounet-Sully, French ac- ]
tor, and Sienkifewiez, Polish author. '
Sir Roger Casement was executed for i
treason as instigator of the rebellion
in Ireland; also Fearse, the rebel
“president,” and Connolly,’ the military
chief.
_ l i
lively winter at augusta.
The Maine Legislative session is at hand.and
it is bound to be one of the most interesting in
our history. The law makers cannot escape
dealing with several matters of vital import
ance. The Good Roads contest is certain to be
a big one and one in which every tax payer in
Maine is interested—a mill tax plan against a
bond issue plan, and the “trunk line" and
State-aid scheme versus business roads over a
largely increased mileage for the benefit of the
farm-to-market idea. Then a budget system
ia to be introduced for discussion and’considera
tion from every angle by the Legislature. An
attack will also be made upon the primary law!
equal suffrage will have its inning, and law- I
enforcement measures wi 1 be introduced. ■
Maine families wishing to keep up with the
procession in education and topics of direct in
terest to them, must follow the Legislative
proceedings of their State. In order to do that
it is necessary to have a daily record of pro- ;
ceedings with explanations and interpretations
by writers familiar with all the State’s affairs.
It has come to be commonly accepted
| throughout the State that no paper in Maine
: is so well prepared in mechanical equipment
and editorial staff to deal with any question
before the public as the Kennebec Journal.
Advance notices of all the committee hear
ings are published in the Journal, a matter of
great importance to those who are watching
new legislation. The Journal also publishes at
the opening of the session biographical sket
ches of the members of the Legislature, ac
companied by portraits.

will be $1 25 for the session.
