"'DOING EUROPE"
Hero and there in the United States people are be
ginning to rejoice'that passports for foreign travel are
soon to become things of the past, and that tourists
will again be free to roam all over Europe as they did
until the summer of four years ago. Thousands Of
Americans have been waiting for the signal to pack
their trunks and to cross the pond In order to see what
it was all about
Long before Mark Twain described the exciting ad
ventures of. his "Innocents Abroad," the American
traveller was a familiar sight in the Old World, and
even In those days his staunchest friend was Baedeker,
the infallible and immensely valuable handbook tor
tourists. When the American of this period goes abroad,
it will be without bis Baedeker, for the book which was
almost an Institution has been pronounced too cunningly
German to be of any real help to an American. As the
age is one of substitutes, It will be possible to replace
Baedeker, and English firms appear to be leading in the
preparation of guidebooks for the new era of tourist
travel.
And not only that. Bui wherever tourists may wend
their wWy outside the actual fields of former battles, they
Will be received as representatives of a nation whose
prestige is in the ascendency and whose generosity
toward friend and foe alike has become a byword from
North Cjtpe to Athens, from the Ural mountains to the
western coast of Ireland.
For reasons similar to these, the American in the
future will travel abroad with a new and keen sense
of still being at home. He will move on soli which has
bscomo sacred because of the shedding of American
fctood and the American flag will be the first to greet
him, no matter in what,part of Europe he chooses to
arrive.
In other ijordB—America has grown tremendously
during the years^of war—mot politically or geographi
,« cally, but in sentiment, and the effect is that it is no
,.-V longer possible for an American to go "abroad" the
014
seoepted sense. Wherever ho goes, he will be in ft
Very intimate sense welcome and fully at home.
'. THE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION
Pursuant to an old custom, the president of the
flutes has again this year issued a proclamation
which he calls upon the nation to render thanks to
.j 'or kls blessings during the year, in the docu
~v! state paper which might easily be penned in a
I dry-as-Au*t and bureaucratic manner—the president has
aptly anticipated-the peculiar enthusiasm with which
American* this year will celebrate their thanksgiving,
a«d there is disoernible between the lines a strong
glimpM of his own distinct personality as it comes into
dlreet contact with,the people whose spokesman he is.
11»o Thanksgiving proclamation is noteworthy from
another point of view: it affords the historian of the
future the necessary documentary evidence of the chang
ing viewpoints of the executive.
It will be recalled that about two weeks before the
diplomatic'breach with Qermany took place, Mr. Wilson
delivered an address in congress in which he a
the thought that final peaos should be won without vie
tery on either side: hUl fear of victory was due to the
1 expectation thaf the humiliation of1 one group of nations
anottier would always engender future yearnings for
jt revenge and that a victorious peace therefore would con
i* itituU a serious menace to the safety of the world.

European countries have been distinctly foreign
(round to the average Ainerican who could "do" the
Continent in a couple of weeks and knew as little when
he came back as when he embarked (or the ports
abroad. Thousands of tourists have been traveling just
out of'curiosity or because they liked the exhilarating
method of recuperation which modern facilities provided
for the person who is sufficiently well supplied with the
necessary wherewithals. Jt has been a matter of pride
to be able to afterward describe first-hand impussions
from London, Paris, Rome and the Cologne cathedral
and to overawe the natiyes of the little home town
somewhere in America and there always wn a certain
air of distinction about the man or woman who had
been fortunate enough to speed through Europe in con
tinental overland trains or high-powered automobile^
The American tourist of the coming epoch will have
other ends in view than just sight-seeing and recreation.
Burope will be no more & mere travellers' Eldorado. It
has become a world replete Nrith new and macqjflcent
inspiration, and when the visitor froth this country lands
on the other side of the ocean he will feel at once that
a new atmosphere "lies over the ancient lands.
There *flll be no more "foreign-ness" about Europe,
for thousands- a'nd thousands of square miles have been
soaked with American blood, and wherever the wan
derer may go in Prance and Flanders Le will be told that
American soldiers fought as valiantly, as energetically as
though they were giving battle on their own soil.

The keynote on th* "Thanksgiving proclamation Is
tiUferentt
dsC "Qod has In Hla good pleasure flvan uik peace. It
has not cottie ap a mere cessation of arms, a mere relief
tram the bttatn and ^ragedy of war—it has come as a
great triumph of right Complete victory hat brought us,
not peace alone, but the confident promise of & new day
as we'll, in whioh Justice shall replace force snd jealous
intrigue among nations."
These words were written by the same man who
only forty-two months ago exponded. the theory that
"there is such a thing as being too prot^d to 4ftglit."
Alljislohs to the change of vtfews need riot be con
sidered disrespectful or disparaging. To- the contrary, it
is very often a sure 'Bign Of a men's broad culture that
his mind is flexible even in mat/ire years. .Stagnation in
the matter of/ opinions^is a greater danger than the
inability to adapt the' mind to changing' conditions, and
there is some truth in the ancient adage that the man
who confesses th4t he has never changed hlsN views,
confesses at the same time that life has taught him
nothing.
What the American nation .wanted as result of
the war was essentially peace \yith victVy. It has come,
and it is jus£ at this moment of triumph to 'recall that
the president himself realised the necessity of carrying
the' war to a victorious end—as soon .as it had been de
clared. No one man has been more eloquent In his ap
peals for, the victory of American arms than the presi
dent, and none has more persistently kept in mind that
there was only that one peace worth, having. For years
to come Mr. Wilson will be continually criticised for his
active and personal participation in political controver
sies at a time when the prestige and honor of the nation
were at stake, but even though'such criticism justly is
harsh, it is but fair to remember that when the still
larger /issues required Instant and decisive action—and
even changes of well-founded opinions—Mr. Wilson ^re
acted at once and met the demand of ever new develop
ments. This trait in his character will undoubtedly elicit
tribute in the same measure that denunciations of his
partisan attitude have been given:
THEN—AND NOW
In view of certain recent events, it is of more than
passing interest to) recall a document which excited a
goodly part of the world's population a little more than
four months ago but which failed to convince any ma
jority of the possibility that Germany, would come out
of the war a triumphing victor.
A brief outline of the document in question was pub
lished in'American papers at the time, but-only now has
it arrived here in the original form.
On July the Qoerli&er Nachrlchten, a Prussian
provincial paper of considerable standing, contained an
article written by Count RoOn, a member of the Herren
haus of the Prussian diet, who told his readers exactly
What Oermanjr would gain by the war. Although the
man—a descendant of the famous General Roon—spoke
unofficially .and in nobody's behalf but his own, the ar
ticle exemplified sentiment as it -existed among Germans
in certain leading circles up to a short time ago..
Germany, the 'count said, was to demand the sur
render of the British, war aeet the return of Gibraltar,
to Spain Egypt and the Suez canal to Turkey further
more, Great Britain was to pour into German colters a
war indemnity amounting to 275,000.000,000 mark, that
is, about 145,000,000,000. The interesting fact about this
stipulation is that the count insisted these terma be im
pos«4 upon Great Britain as a basis for an armistice.
Furthermore, the count said, Germany would de
mand the annexation of Belgium, the independence of
Flanders, annexation of the Briey and Longwy basins
and the Toul, Belfort and Verdun regions eastward. Also,
restitution of all German colonies wSqld be .demanded.
Great Britain, the count insisted, must cede to Germany
such naval bases and coaling stations as Germany de
sired. Greece was to be re-established under its exiled
king, an£ Serbia and Montenegro were to be divided be
tween Austria and Bulgaria.
As the final item-in the list of demands this ap
peared: "France and Belgium are to remain unoccupied'
at their own expense until all^the other conditions have
been carriec^out"
The count, who appears to have had more imagin
ation than political and military acumen, wrote, of
couitoe, in all seriousness. He did not mean to satirise
or to be .facetious in his attitude toward his own country
—in fact* he is known, to be a perfectly loyal and in
tensely patriotic son of what was once d&s gros^e Vater
land.
And yet the whole thlifg smacks of satire unless
German people, including even the landed nobility of
the upper house of the Prussian diet, have been misled
to such an extent as to actually believe that victory *as
within reach of their hands.
On the day Herr Roon published his 'terms,"
Flrench aad American troops took Vaux, and two weeks
later the immense Allied offensive came under way, never
stopping, never receding until that daj came when Field
Marshal Foch dictated armistice' terms to tlie vanquished
foe. Had the Prussian co^rtl been of superior "influence
in German politics, he might have 'been appointed a
member of the armistice delegation and his appearance
thus would have created a proper anti-climax.1
fhe article to Om Goerlltser N&chrichten is of in
terest because it illustrates poignantly the fact, alleged
so frequently, that the Germans did not know they were
beaten—and that they had actually .been jnade to feel
convinced that ti^ey were tha winners of the war.
To read the ternuTas they looked when.Foch got
through with them.xmust have been a rude and painful
surprise'to that group of Gentians who thought England^
France, Italy and the' United States were abjectly and
humbly imploring v. Hlndenburg for swift cessation of
hostilities. p'l
The arm Woe was signed, b\t, as will be distinctly
recalled, the. terms were somewhat different from those
outlined1 by the eoeksure Prussian count, and for this
reason it is worth while to preserve his essay as a curious
memento of the state of^niad in Gerfnany just^rtor to
ths most crushing defeat a powerful nation has Wer
suffered.

POWER Of PRESS

Major in American Army
Declares, that Newspapers

Trieste, Thursday, Nov. ,-14.—(By
the Associated Press)-—"The power
of the press, not the power of armies,
ended the war," said Dr. fiugone A.
Crockett Of Boston, now a major In
the American Red Cross, today. Re
said he had interixigated hundreds of
prisoners of every nationality who had
returned from .Austria, and that all
had agreed- Austria's death blow was
dealt through the medium of the
press by President Wilson when he
announced that he had recognized
Csecho-fflovakla
as
an independent
belligerent state and power. The,
press sent the news of President Wil
son's message through'the dual mon
archy. When the message reached
Prague the Bohemians immediately
ordered the Auetrians to. leave and set
up their own government within 24
hours. The Austrlans realised that
it was useless to resist.
The American Red Cross fed 84,^
300 returned Italian prisoners today
and is making arrangements to feed
60,000 daily.
