GERMANY WAITS.
fLKMANY'S latet peace note seems to require no dip
lomatic answer. Germany awaits terms of an armis
tice, and the reply to the latent statement fiom Berlin can
jest be delivered by General Foch. Allied leaders are now
formulating requirements which Germany mint meet as
the price for an early cessation of hostilities. These will
Se severe, as they should he, hut it is not improhahle that
(hey will he accepted. Germany is beaten today, though
not exhausted utterly. io hope remains for the.old dreams
of world conquest.., The Berlin to Bagdad scheme was
shattered when Bulgaria quit. The capture of Aleppo by
General Allenby completed its destruction. On the western
front the steady reverses sustained by the German armies
have shown the hopelessness of winning a derision in that
Quarter. The quickest way to quit is obviously the best
for the Hun.
Of course there is no doubt that the armistice will exact
guarantees which will safeguard the military supremacy of
the allies. General Foch and the allied chiefs have proved
worthy of the trust placed in them, and those who fight to
such advantage can well be relied upon to make an armis
tic) with equal thoroughness, if at all. Any peace which
Germany can make will be such as the vanquished makes
with the victor, no matter how diplomatic language may
often the preliminary steps.
"Germany awaits proposals of an armistice," the latest
note sets forth, and Germany also awaits the end. For
the old Germany of the llolieiuollern autocracy is as cer
tain to end with this war as the sun is certain to rise on
the morrow. According to German reports, changes al
ready in progress mark the passing of the old order, but
there will be further guarantees to that effect, more bind
in than the word of i nation of liars. It is mockery, of
course, for Germany to talk of a just peace, for justice has
no more place in the German scheme of things than has
honor or mercy. But the terms which Germany must meet
will be such as to render impotent her genius and will for
evil.
Guarantees vtliiili will startle Germany will maik the
terms of the armistice, and of the peace pact which will
follow it In no other way short of annihilation can tTie
world make peace with Germany, and feel that the safety
of the world has been insured by these four years, of tre
mendous sacrifice. An armistice and peace terms now may
save Germany from the devastation of invading armies, and
save the lives of thousands of Germans otherwise marked
for slaughter, and that is something more of salvage than
strict justice would allot the Huns. It is humiliating to
the German people, though best for them in the end, and
disastrous to the junkers, but the law of preservation still
tas its place in that most lawless of nations, and it is not
:.pccting too much to see a hope that Germany may ac
:pt that for which ihe is waiting.
a president steps across the threshold of the ex-presidency?
We now have with us Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft. Both
have had the' highest preferment within the gift of the
American people. Did either of them cease to be partisans
when they entered the White House? It Is not so recorded.
And today they are both vigilantly partisan, lkth urging
their party's success.
Both of the republican ex -presidents, for specific ex
mple, have joined in electioneering for Mr. Newberry, the
republican candidate for senator in Michigan and urging
the defeat of Mr. Ford. Mr. Taft speaks of Mr. New
berry's wide experience in public affairs an experience
which, he avers, the nation needs in its post bellum prob
lems. Mr. Roosevelt belabors Mr. Ford's pacifism and
lauds Mr. Newberry. But everyone knows that Mr. Roose
velt and Mr. Taft wamVMr. Ford beaten because he is a
candidate on the democratic ticket, and they want Mr.
Newberry elected because he is a .republican. Everyone
knows, too, that, if Mr. l ord had not been solicited tojnake
the race by President Wilson, and if he were the nominee
of Michigan republicans, both Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. laft
would urfe Mr. Ford's election. They would cite his won
derful business career as qualifying him peculiarly for the
public service which peace will demand. They would dwell
upon the great national service his genius and vast re
sources have rendered to the country and to civilization in
the war.
Now, what may in trutli be said in behalf of Mr. New
berry's candidary? Like Mr. Ford, Mr. Newlierry is a rich
man. Unlike Mr. Ford, who made his money, Mr. New
berry inherited his fortune. He has left no impress upon
public thought.' He is quite unknown. The country has
long smce forgotten that Mr. Newberry served for a few
months as one- of Mr. Roosevelt's flock of naval secieta
ries. All that the country as a whole knows of Mr. New
berry is that a scandalous amount of money was expended
in nominating him in the senatorial primary, concerning
which he professes a complete ignorance. We do not ques
tion his statement. But it is apparent that such complete
guilelessness, such delightful unsophistication denies the
"wide experience" which Mr. Taft ascribes to Mr. New
berry. With experience we associate acumen a knowledge
of what's going on. Of such acumen Mr. Newberry seems
marvelously innocent.
You may recall Dolliver's genial portrait of Mr. Taft
in the presidency "a Rentleman surrounded by chaps who
know precisely what they want." The picture seems to fit
Mr. Newberry.
As for Mr. Roosevelt well, he is the insatiable, iras
ciMr, the eternal politician. And if two ex-presidents may
propagandize 'for their party continuously, may not a dem
orratic president, with equal propriety, write one brief note
in behalf of his party? Or is tile American system of p
litical ethics a patented republican contrivance which be
stows a benediction upon any ex-presidential endeavor for
the grand old party and blasts with damnation a demo
cratic president's party message?
Or does the republican party enjoy being made gran
diosely ridiculous?

Mr. J. J. McGraw, republican national committeeman,
seems to be indignant that the president should have asked
him to support woman suffrage. Having carefully read
what the committeeman is reported to hate s13, we are
forced to the conclusion that hia victory over little Arthur
Geissler has gone to Brother McGraw's head.

POLITICAL ETHICS.
DEPUBLICAN leaders profess indignation, tinged with
the topai of melancholy, at President Wilson's viola
:ion of political ethics in appealing to the country to elect
i democratic congress. Political ethics, however, are won
derfully elastic. They can be expanded to drape with ap
oroval the most violent activity or they can be shrunk to
sxpose the culpable nakedness of the mildest effort. It all
depends.
If the dignity of the presidential office, for example,
precludes its incumbent from participating in any party
'.nterprise, what are the proprieties of former incumbents?
Does the presidential noblesse oblige terminate the moment
With the Italians hammering the Austriani on the Tiave
jou may expect to hear something soon from Vienna. It
will be the voice of little Karl Hapshurg demanding peace
from the allies on any old terms and insisting on immediate
delivery.
About a year ago, you may remember, National Com
mitteeman McGraw was interviewed on the 1920 political
outlook and indicated that Senator Wadsworth of New
Y'orV was his preference for the republican presidential
nomination. It is difficult to understand how an old-time
militant suffraget like McGraw would want hit party to
nominate Wadsworth, who is, we suppose, the most im
placable enemy of woman suffrage in the country. Is it
possible that McGraw's long-standing devotion to suffrage
only dates back to the day before yesterday?
