Peace?
If the German government possesses even a
molecule of the wisdom of the serpent, it will ree
ognize that the Lloyd George peace terms are
the MINIMUM allied terms.
They will never go any lower. The significant
point about the matter is that not even the so-called
"peace parties" in Great Britain and France ask
them to go any lower. The terms silence con
troversy in the Labor parties and the Socialist
ranks; only Lansdowne and the "peace-at-any
price" propagandists will remain unreconciled.
Prussian spa/ring for peace negotiations, there
fore, has no further tangible objective so far as
the Western nations are concerned. For home
consumption in Germany it may be necessary to
carry the pretense of a peace drive further. The
allies Vavt solved at a single stroke their own in
ternal djmestic problem; Germany is farther away
than ever from solving hers. The failure of the
Russians negotiations and the Lloyd George state
ment n.\ke that problem immeasurably more dif
ficult?unless the German people are utterly un
balanced.
If the House of Hohenzollern and the Junkers
who have underwritten it were nearing the end of
their rope, we believe they would gladly make
peace on the Lloyd George terms, since those
terms do not specifically demand that autocratic
rule in Germany must go.
, But they are not at the end of their rope. The
German people are a long way from revolution
yet, despite their suffering. And the Prussian
, autocrats will not stop short of revolution. They
' will wreck Germany, as Louis XIV wrecked
France, rather than admit defeat. The war map
, has nothing more clearly written on it than the
inflexible resolve 01 the Kaiser to continue the
war until he has achieved a "German peace"?or
until the deluge.
For this reason the world is perfectly safe in
assuming that peace is yet a long way off. Ger
many is. a firmly, safely regimented nation. She
has many a game of intrigue to play yet in many
lands, and she will redouble her efforts with Rus
sia despite the set-back at Brest-Litovsk. and de
I spite the fact that the game she is playing has
become transparent even to the Bolsheviki.
A desperate nation is likely to go to any ex
treme. The world is likely to see.in the Germany
? of the ^next six months a reaf supernation of
fanaticism, of courage, of crusading madness. That,
rather than the chastening and humbling ot her
will to power, is the next phase ot the war.
But her wise men know today that the peace
terms of Lloyd George present a stone wall, a
Gibraltar?unbreakable, unshakable, unchanging,
against which their legions will break their lances
in vain.
A Word to tke Un-wUe.
"As the labor situation ? created by the war
develops I am more interested than ever in
ihrowins; all the safeguards possible around the
labor ot uomen and children in order that no in
tolerable or injurious burden may be placed on
, them ..." That's President Wilson, speaking his
mind in a recent letter to the National Child Labor
Committee.
The President's statement should be of particu
lar interest right now to some of the gentlemen
interested in the packing industry in Chicago,
from where it has been lately reported that
women were found working both day and night
shiits?a desperate and pitiful effort to make up
the difference between a slender wage and the
high cost of living?with only four or five hours
for sleep out of each 24.
It would be well if Senators and Representatives
, at Washington, and State legislators elsewhere,
? who have bills to get off their chests which would
? let down the bars on child labor and female drud
' scry, as "war-measures," could begin to realize
just how sadly out oi step they really are.
Postmaster General Burleson, too, with his corps
of underpaid postal employes and his proclamations
igainst unionism and organization, might find an
object lesson in the Wilson brand of liberalism.
It is obvious that to date Burleson has done any
thing but adhere to the attitude of the rest of the
?dminittration.
Conscription.
B ' It is amazing how some foolish people think
that the American nation is going to stop with
ihe conscription of its manhood foe war.
Ii < ths?t were the beginning add the end of
conscription, ?democratic institutions would in
deed be in danger and the country would be in
sore need of revolution.
If the government insisted upon its right to
conscript and to sacrifice flesh and blood, and
? were squeamish about the assertion ot the same
right as regards property, wealth, thought, trans
portation, or any other commodity, it might just
as well go into moral bankruptcy and appoint a
receiver for the wreck.
If the nation haa a right to call upon a por
tion of its people to 'sacrifice their lives, it has
a right?it is morally bound?to call upon the
rest of its people to sacrifice their all if necessary
to the conduct of the war.
That is the one single point of glory in the
armor of Germany?the fact that she does not
I hesitate to call upon civilians, rich and poor alike,
to endure everything that flesh and blood can
endure to support the men in the agony of
the tight. Perhaps we are in erfor on this point
Perhaps it will be shown that the rich and
powerful in Germany remained in callous luxury
while the millions of her laboring classes suffered
Ihe whole burden. Nothing would be more char
acteri*tic of the pagan spirit of Junkerism than
that. "??
Whenever, th, ? fore, you feel like grumbling
or complaining, oh civilian, think ot your moral
responsibility under the conditions. Kot that you
should abate a tithe of your anger against profiteer
ing; bat necessary sacrifices you should bear gladly.
The income tax grumblers, the Wall Street
"knocker*," the stockholder? and bondholders, who
hold up their hands in holy horror over confisca
tion, should be interned or quarantined They will
be if they keep at it long enough.
Boss McAdoo, and Then Some.
Already General Director McAdoo's action haa
resulted in ending freight congestion at several im
portant points, notably in respect to railroads en
tying Chicago, which, it is reported, are now able
to handle more traffic than is moving.
It is too early to decide how successful Mr. McAdoo
is going to be as the greatest railroader ou earth, but,
already, there are the strongest indications that the
care for congestion is autocracy. Given the right boss,
the right plan and complete authority, and things
will move. Congestion and confusion go down before
such a combination. In emergency, such a combina
tion is the salvation of democracy, or we are all wrong
in this war.
It is of the very highest importance to observe and
record the results of Mr. McAdoo's autocratic action.
If the policy solves the vital problems of our greatest
industry, it should be promptly applied to other enter
prises than railroading. There is sufficient evidence
showing that the making of ships is not proceeding
with satisfactory speed. There are boards and cor
porations and heads of departments stuck on their own
individual opinions, and the natural result is conges
tion and lack of one clear-cut plan at which alt con
cerned could be aiming. There is a somewhat similar
condition in the Fuel and Food administrations. A
fully empowered boss and teamwork-, are needed in
pretty much every department of the nation's war busi
ness. In the matter of shipbuilding, why not put in
an experienced, practical manufacturer like Henry
Ford, for instance, as the absolute boss and back him
with all the legislation he requires to boss shipbuilding,
from the timber standing in the forest to the completed
vessel sailing forth on her first voyage? There will be
congestion, confusion, decided weakness in the Food
and the Fuel administrations, regardless of the abilities
of Hoover and Garfield, unless the bosses on these
jobs, are given full authority to boss, and when the
President comes forward to ask for additional legisla
tion bearing on such bossism, Congress should not
hestitate to grant it.
We shriek a good deal against bossism. We encage
in war to exterminate autocracy. But, is it not a fact
that, in emergency, there is no business, no enterprise,
no family, forsooth, but must resort to a boss to pull
it out of the hole- It should be a good boss, with
place and power dependent upon the consent of the
bossed, but fully and definitely the boss.
Why Pit Up with Production Blockade?
The railroads are not only our greatest industry,
but their financial ramifications are more extensive,
universal and penetrating than those of any other in
dustry. Banker Myron T. Herrick was, undoubtedly,
right in his recent declaration that there is hardly a
bank, insurance or trust company, or established charity
organization in the country that does not hold railroad
securities. Besides, there are the thousand? ot indi
vidual stockholders and bondholders.
In effect, President ?Wilson commandeers the prop
erty and rights of all these interested concerns and
people. It is a drastic proceeding, but absolutely neces
sary as a war measure. The prime essentials of our
war business are efficient transportation management
and extraordinary production, and these are co-relative
and wholly mutually dependent Neither is effective
without the other.
In the matter of transportation, I'nele Sam com
mandeers. How can he hesitate to do likewise in the
matter of production of coal, oil. lumber, copper, steel
and other war necessaries, without the prompt and
heavy production and delivery of which his war busi
ness fails?
In the case of the railroads Uncle Sam has been
patient and long waiting. Having once "got his
back up," let him do what more is to be done,
speedily and thoroughly!
The German chancellor asserts that he will die
a monarchist. That's what should happen to all
monarchists.
At Amityville, Long Island, 1,080 bottles of
beer froze and burst. The cold wave didn't hit
Washington that way.
On a Washington Theater program: "Pick out
the nearest exit. In casv of fire walk?do not run
to it. The largest audience this house ever" had
was emptied in three minutes."
Attorney Maximilian von Hoepan, ' oi New
Haven, wrote "Deutschland Ueber Alles," at the
top of his draft questionnaire and boasted of it.
He was mobbed and beaten, after which he was
made to kiss the flag. Why soil the flag?

"Uncle Joe" Cannon dearly loves a circus, espe
cially one with a large monkey, a baboon, or an
ape. In this connection he spins a yarn.
When a boy, down in North Carolina, Cannon
and a cornfield negro went to a circus together.
Upon entering the sideshow they were attracted
by a large ape. It was an enormous brute, the
largest. Cannon says, that he ever has seen in his
eighty-two years of existence. The negro was so
fascinated that he refused to budge from the
cage. Long after all the other folks had passed
into the main tent, the negro was stalled in the
sideshow. Finally, satisfied that none ^except Can
non was about, he approached the bars.
"How be you?" he asked the ape.
hi o answer. The negro looked around again
to make certain that he was not observed by
strange eyes.
"How is it?" he asked again.
Still no answer; and a third time he spoke to
the ape without receiving a reply. Then he burst
out:
"Dat's right! Don't you say a single word. If
you dees, dey'll have you out of dat nice straw an'
a hoc in yoith hands in a minute."?Cartoons Mag

HANK.
His car was a little bit better
Than anything else near the price'
And therefore he sold seven million all told
And rolled up a pile that was nice ;
Then he said, "Well, the boys who have helped me
Ought to have a few beans in the bank,
So I'll just share this crop with the lads in the shop"
?And that surely was decent of Hank.
The selfish employers yelled "Ruin!"
But Hank simply kept, on his way
Making ingots and bars into mighty good cars
At the rate of some thousands a day;
Then he got the peace bug in his noodle
And the world called him "silly" and crank
And the world was quite right till he saw a great light,
"No more pacifist buncombe," cried Hank!
When his ?ajentry got into the conflict
Did Hank say, "I'm gonna get mine!"
Did he grab all he could while the grabbing was good,
As the profiteers do, we opine?
No, he offered his brains and his fortune,
And his profit sheet's, totally blank
?How the prices would wilt if all rich men were built,
Of the same sort of metal as Hank I

Bohemian people of America-- and
there are hundred?, of thousand., of
them, to be iure? focused their atten
tion upon that part o? Lloyd ?Iforg?''.?,
statement which read.?*:
"Similarly, thouKh we agree with
President Wilson that a break up of

riettired it, it is impos*ible to hope for
a removal of those rauni'.*? of unrest
in that part of Eurore which hav?* .--o
Ion? threatened the general peace."
This part of President Wll.-on's mes
sage at the opening of ?lie |resent *-es
sion of Congress was nut made so pin in
to the Bohemians, and they were won
dering, with some interet-t, what night
be the future statement of the allies*
aim upon their mother territory.
The-statement of the British leader
will/ therefore, find .-renerai indorse
ment tn America?and that, too, with
out receding from the President's as
surance to Austrian? that no rear
rangement or Impairment of their ter
ritory would be Insisted upon by this
nation.
Bohemian support of the war in this
country has been most patriotic and
thorough. Young Bohemians have re
sponded to the country' call with alert
ness, and those who are at home, com
prising a fair .proportion of the inde
pendent agricultural class in the Mid
dle West, have contributed great sums
of money to all our war finance move
ments.
Are the Democrat.?? of the Senat*?!
to lose their whip?
There are some of them wh?]
think so, pity 'tis, 'tis true, and!
others who hope that such a fate
is not to be thrust upon them. Ab
predicted ih these Column?, while
Medili McCormick was still in
Prance, he has entered the race
against J. Ham Lewis, and from
now on lets the folks in Illinois
know that it Is to be a race for all
there Is in it. The claim is made in
the fight, thus early in the game,
that J. Ham had a way of blowing
hot and blowing cold?and that Mr.
.McCormick has a way of speaking
straight to the point what he means
and assuming no other position,
even in the face of forcea against
him.
Only statutory suffrage exists in
Hit noie so the ladies of the State
will not have an opportunity of
expressing themselves in this very
interesting little flutter. But there
are stories here that they will have
a most potent, indirect Influence in
the fray?if it Anally simmers down
to a Lewis-McCormlck race?and
that they even think they will de
termine the result as between tnem.
Now we are wondering which one
of the two the women folks will
pull for. While some of Lewis'
friends in the Senate are confident
that he will not do anything to
peeve the ladies, there are others
who think that McCormick. as one
of the original suffrage boosters
and with his wife, daughter of the
late Mark Hanna, have already put
the lady support away in their kit
bags.
Both America snd England have
made it perfectly plain to the German
people?if the latter oaa get even
faint word of the attitude of those
two nations?what they must do to be
recognised in world society.
They are not asked to revolt against
the Hohenxollei nUtlc government and
really depose Wilhelm, hut they are
told that if peace Is treated in a se
rious way it must be undertaken on
Germany's pa rt with a different gov
ernment than is now maintained
? there.
The inference, which cannot be con
.ttrued any other war, 1? that popular
will muat be elevated to domination
of the Prussian empire and that the
divine right of Mein ???? Vilhelm
must be subordinated to thi.? popular
will. It mean* "good night" to Willy
either way one look? at It. The
Kaiser, who ia the personlfVation of
all the thing?, that have dUusted ua
with the insidious Prussian system,
muat go. Aa long aa he maintains hia
place of domination over the German
people he will maintain the aingleneaa
of purpose with which ne started out
to subdue the world. The individual
and the id?sa must both go. They ?an
have no place in peace negotiations.
When Germany la ready to talk busi- j
neaa we will talk?but we will talk
with a reaponaible party. The Kalaer J
la irreaponaible. and would be per
! sona non grata at the peace table. J
The German people are always wel
come at that table, and can th? m
aelvea chooae the time they want to ?
alt down to it. That Is the sum and ?
substance of a lot of matter that has ?
?been written about the affair during
t the paat four montra, and if Ger- i
I mans ar?? permitted to read it they
1 should not take Ion? to figure out how
they can get In on the peace feast.
It ha?, been plain fiom the outset
that the Russian character, while
st ron el y opposed to fighting for
ideals which it aaw half concealed
behind gold goinii to some of the
leaders, woura not And it-flf com
placently eiving (n to German dic
tation in the guiae of peace. Rus
I sians had not to go outalde their
I own country if they wanted to be
; ruled b> an autocratic force. That
i is what they rebelled against?and
certainly no one would expect
them to give in to Germany to the,
extent of allowing Germany to as
sume a dictatorship which they re
fused to ?-How their own former
leaders to ?senme over them. Rus
sia may be out of the war for some
'? time, aa far aa aggressive ng:itin
n? our behalf is concerned, but the'
? spirit which prompts her to fight'
for demot?ra^y will not allow Gei*
nanv to impose an autocracy upon
her, in the guiae of any other name.
The ruling Russian may be strong
for chaos but he is no fool. Con
gress lonii ago put this down.
Pftace talk abounds at the com
mencement of the new year?and
yet, singularly enouu-V the fighting
-oes on here snd there. There la a
determined feeding among all the
Tillies which ?makes them- stronger
for the battle than at the com
mencement of last year, or the year
before. France is "still going."
England is pounding along with the
corksuredness that has fooled many
a nation before and whic"h perhaps
has sometimes fooled Britain -her
fu'If. while America Is just reach
ing that point where she ia amass
in-: a most imposing array of men
and resources for what she believes
to be a. long conflict.
To say that we would not wel
come peace would be a misstate
ment, for we would welcome it
with open arms. Congress believes.
Hut to say that ire wilt accept a
makeshift peace woukl also be to
make a miss tatemen t. Congress also
believes. America ts in the fray to
accomplish just what her leader haa
??et out. Until that is accomplished
we cannot withdraw from our prep
arations for a long and vigorous
conflict.
80 for the present, while hoping
that eventual good will come from
the exchange of peace views and
from a general discussion of the
subject, let no one relax the in
tensity with which he has been
educated and persuaded and arous
ed to contribute to our winning of
the war. There will be time
enough to rejoice over peace when
it comes?we hope the jubilee of its
arrival will last until the milleji
ium?but there would not be time
enough If we were misled over
these peace voices, to make up for
the loss we might sustain by rot
eon of relaxing our efforts. '

Sly Shots at the Solons.
By THE OBSERVER.
Charley Sloan will content for the
Republican Senatorial nomination
agnlnst senator ? orris. Both voted
against war, but Mr. Sloan says he
has assisted the war preparations
most since we actually entered the
eocftict. He also ?aye he is a con
sistent Republican?a shot at Mr. Nor
ris. who claimed as one of his master
achievements, for som* time, that he
helped split thst party in the Cannon
dethronement fight.
Tf Medili McCormick supplants J
Ham Lewis in the Senate, pray what
will the l>emocrats do without their
whip? The thought is causing some
of them to be apprehensive?or ?ball
we say "relieved." so far as others of
them are ?concerned.
Senator ?moot accounts now lor his
continued early arrival at the office
during the Christmas vacation. He i
was working on that roanunoth piece l
of amendatory tax legislation. It is'
a work of art, besides aiming to cor
rect whet he thinks are palpable er
rors in the present war revenue bill.
'Poor Mise Rankin"?ao they are
saying -it the Capitol?"why did she
want to show her simplicity by in
troducing the Irish resolution. She
wouldn't vot?* for war. but the will
do things like this to embarrass our
allies at this time. Better she had
kept her pen in its holder than that
she should 'unsheath' it to write -such
an absurd document as that.'
Representative Shallenberger is
proud. His son. a member of Gen
, Pershing's staff, went across the wa
, ter as capitan and it- now colonel The
young man is a West Pointer, and has
been with Pershing for thre-? or four
years.
There are to be Republicans of the
nation within our midst during the
next fortnight?It behooves Democrats
to have their eyes and ears open, for
there are grave plans to be talked
over. "Grave" because they are in
tended to mean the burial of many
Democratic candidates next Novem
ber.
The Senate steering committee
yclept the small body which plans the
political moves for the Democratic
majority of the Senate, held a meet
ing yesterday at which thing--- ob
noxious and otherwise were discussed.
The way to find out what was done
is to watch the Senate doings, so we
are advised
The Jonej*es ere ceiling behind In
their representation in Congres*. There
are only two of them in ?.ach house
at the present time, while there are
three Smith* In the lower houec and
five in the Senate. The Joneses had
better devote this year to catching up
with their prolific "family nien" op
ponents.
Repr?sentative Edward Keating
owns the Pueblo ?Colo. Leader and
is up on th?1 newspaper game He
has had all tbe run.? from night cub
on police to politics at the State
Houae in Denver, and after that served
as city editor and managing editor.
Representative George Washington
Edmunds Is a proper man to explain
ihe ?.oal traffic to Congres. He is in
the business?and hails from Penn
sylvania, too. Half a page in the
R-pcord from him might wonderfully
enlighten his colleagues.
