iliaud tho last drop of blood and the Inst
"itiK'c of flcslt Croat Britain* on tho other
liHli'l with loss caiiso for hatred of Germany,
and having no long-standing grudge to ro
voilgoi would possess a mora unprejudiced
viewpoint, arid, having her interests in tli<>
builds of Mi'- wise and far-seeing Sir Edward
G>-<\. would be loss inclined to humiliate
Germany For these reasons, those who look
through tho smoke of battle to the end and
beyond have put thoir hopes of enlightened,
it not generous, dealing with Germany in
Great Britain and her statesmen.
However, the fear lias been that Great
Britain would be unable to impose her views
upon the other allies, and'would be over
ridden by Russia and France. The menace
in I hat to future peace is clear to those who.
having learned from the past, know that ono
of the greatest indirect causes of the present
war was Germany's short-sighted statesman?
ship in isTl. as evidenced in the harsh terms
of peace she then imposed upon Franco; and
know. also, that equally harsh dealing with
Germany will sow the seeds of another great
war. The agreement of the three allies that
all triust consent to the terms of peace which
shall conclude this war. gives Great Britain
a stronger hand, and renders more likely
more statesmanlike dealings with conquered
Germany It renders more unlikely a future
niorl paged to war.
Wilson the Issue
ANOTHER determined light for 'he re
demption of tho only Republican con
gressional district in Virginia opened yester
day; with Tate Irvine showing masterly ko:i
eralship in putting bis opponent under the
necessity of accepting Woodrow Wilson as
the chief issue in the campaign in tin Ninth
Hist riot
In an unguarded moment. Mr. Slemp had
-aid that the mistakes of Wilson wad the
issue; and to that issue the Democratic con
gressional candidate compels him to cling,
while struggling between times to defend his
own record. Mr. Irvine's analysis of the
achievements o: the Wilson administration
was clear and forceful. It cuts the ground
from under Mr. Stamp's feet, and makes it
necessary for him to convict Woodrow Wilson
of utter incapacity before lie can secure a
tint: foothold, preparatory to a defense of his
own actions, and an attack upon Mr. Irvint's.
By that time the campaign will have closed;
and., if we are not mistaken in the people
of Southwest Virginia, won by the Democrat ic
< a nd id ate.
Nothing could have been better for the
Republicans of the Ninth than a confinement
of tin fight to district issues; nothing could
have been better for the Democratic party
than making Woodrow Wilson and his ad
ministration the issue. Thanks to Basconi
Stamp's blundering and to Tate Irvine's abil
ity to take immediate advantage of it. that
has been done.
Democratic chances all over the nation are
growing brighter every day with the in
creased prestige the national administration
is gaining, and appoals to the voters of the
Ninth District to join the rest of the country
?- upholding the hands of the man who has
led this country through the danger of war
i to peace?will not be in vain. Everywhere
I In the country the people are turning to the
groat man in the White House, who has revo
lutionized political thought in the nation, and
has set a standard in his dealings with other
nations that they themselves are bepiniug to
accept as the only right standard. They are
turning t?> him because he has won their re
spect and admiration and gratitude, and
wherever they can help him. they will do so.
The Ninth District of Virginia has been Re
publican for many years, but there is reason
ti> believe that the character of the candidate
named by the Democratic party and the de
sire t > back Wilson will turn the scales to
I mark a Democratic victory in November.
Thanks to the inopportune frankness of
Slemp in admitting that his defeat moans the
approval by the people of his district of the
\\ ilson policies, that defeat is made almost
certain.

In tlif s;. t'.ia of defenses about Paris

and t?he city proper, to prevent the t iesc
guns of the enemy from coming within
range of the city. Port St Cvr. in the
.second line of the Paris defenses, is ten

The forts about Paris are in a circle,
with the chctimference of about sixty
miles. The seventeen great fortresses
which form the framework of this great
system are s-aid to have been erected
a' a cost of more than S'iOrt.fiiO.OOO. To
build a solid wall of such forts would
cost up in the billions of dollare, and
no nation is rich enough to undertake
it.
