have been lighting this war lor more

Coarse to Be Pursued Simple in Ex-
treme.
It t if our Allies are willing to grant
an armistice at this time, then it is
the business of Marshal Foch, with
the cnnitnanders of the British, French
Italian and American Armies, to fix
the terms of such an amristice. No
disms.-i n of peace terms enter into
the reckoning. In substance the civil
governments of the nations at war will
ask of Foch “What conditions are
necessary to guarantee the preserva
tion of the advantages which you now
possess, as the result of the victorious
i which you have carried on
since July 19?”
Two dangers am in the vari*us dis
cussions past and to come are quite
obvious the one would flow from the
a s mptlon that this is our private
war, and that we have assumed and
acquired any exclusive rights to speak
for the alliance against Germany. The
other would come from the confusion
<f peace terms with the conditions of
an armistice as to thp first. It is per-
Helps
hereafter possible, and tolerable. We
are the mom apprehensive because
Germany has never failed to use words
dishonestly, when dealing with all gov
ernments, and particularly with the
American Government. We have no
guarantee now that we did not possess
in the past, save only (he weakening
condition of Germany's military estab
lishment. We shall n t trust Ger
many until she has laid down her
arms; to do this would be impossible
in view of her past history, recent and
remote.
On the other hind, the really criti
cal phase is now to come. If Marshal
Foch is permitted, unhampered, to lix
the terms of an armistice where there
is no political interference with him,
and he is able, with a view solely to
preserving the military situation, to
decide what he must have, if the civil
governments of the Allied nations
back him up, not merely in the formu
lation of the conditions, but in the in
sistence upon them, after formulated
all will yet be well. 13 t if Marshal
Foch demands, as he will certainly,
not merely Strassburg and Metz, but
Coblenz and Mainz; if he demands, as
he will, the surrender of the German
armies now in Franco nqd Belgium,
alleging that, if the war continues, he
will be able shortly to capture "r de
stroy these armies, which would es
cape, if they were permitted to retire
under (he term-* of an armistice; if

Do you feel weak, diz

lack of good health caused
from any of the com
plaints so common to
women? Then why not
give Cardui a trial? It
should surely do for you
what it has done for so
many thousands of other
women who suffered—It
should trelp you back to

Ask some lady friend
who has taken Cardui.

I Foch demands a substantial surrender
I of Germany, a military surrender, it is
j a matter of life and death for ail Gov
! ernments to support those demands
' once they have been formulated.
Germany’s Final Appeal Will Be To
Wilson.
I When the Foch conditions have been
served upon Germany, nothing is
more certain than that there will lie
an instant protest made to President
Wilson and designed to maneuver the
President into a position indicating
disapproval of the Foch conditions
The very men who have been respon*
Bible for all the crimes of the last
fo r years will make eager and hypo
critical appeal to Mr. Wilson, praying
him to intervene to prevent a peace of
violence and forward a peace of just-
ice.
If President Wilson resists this man
euver Germanr will have to surrender,
or by returning to the fight disclose
the essential dishonesty of her prev
ious operations. The real danger is
that Mr. Wilson may be led into a dis
cussion with Germany over the con
ditions of Marshal Foch’s armistice.
If he is, then all is lost, so far as A1
lied harmony Is concerned. If he
avoids the temptation and leases the
matter waiting upon German compli
ance with the Foch demands, refuses
farther discussion pending German
compliance, requires that compliance
as the proof of good faith necessary to
permit further discussion, good and
no harm will result from what has
already occurred, and no harm "i
come, in any event. .... _ f

Oyster Bay. N. y., Oct. 24.—Theo
dore Roosevelt sent duplicate tele
grams tonight to United States Sena
tors Lodge, Poindexter and Johnson,
in which ho characterized as “thor-
oi'-hly misrhevious’’ the fourteen
principles enunciated by President
W ilaon, if they are to be made the
basis of peace.
The telegram follows:
“As an American citizen T most ear
ned ly hope that the Senate of the
United States, which is a part of the
treaty making power of the United
States, will take an affirmative action
against a negotiated peace with Ger-1
many and in favor f a peace based on I
the unconditional s rrender of Ger-!
many.
“I also declare against the adoption j
in their entirety of the fourteen points J
of President Wilson’s address of last ,
January as offering a basis for a peace |
satisfactory to the United States. Let
us dictate peace by the hammering
guns and not chat about peace to the
accompaniment of the clicking type
writers.
Please the Pro-Germans.
“The langnagp of the fourteen points
and the subsequent statements ex
plaining or qualifying them is neither
straightforward nor plain, but if con
strued in its prtbable sense many, and
possibly most of these fourteen points
are thoroughly mischievovs and if
made the basis of a peace such a pca^e
would represent, not the unconditional
surrender of Germany, but ihe condi
tional surrender of the United States.
Naturally, they are entirely satisfac
tory to Germany, and equally natural
ly they are in this country satisfac
tory to every pro-Geruian and pacifist
and socialist and anti-American so-
called internationalist.
“The only peace offer which we
should consider from Germany at this
time is an offer to accept such terms
as ihe Allies, without o”r aid. have
imposed on Bulgaria. We ought to
declare war on Turkey without an
hour’s delay. The failure to- do so
hitherto has caused talk about making
the world safe for democracy to look
unpleasantly like mere insincere rhe-
toric. While the Turk is left in Eu-|
rope and permitted to tyrannize over
the subject people the world is thor
oughly unsafe for democracy.
Would Be Real Ally.
“Moreover, we should find out what
the President mean3 by continually
referring to this country merely as
the associate instead of the ally of the
nations with whose troops our own
troops are actually brigading in battle.
If he means that we are somethin!)
less tlr>n ally of France, England, It
aly, Belgium and Serbia, then he
moans that we are something less titan
an enemy of Germany and Austria.
We ought to make it clear to the world
that we are neither an untrustworthy
friend nor an irresolute foe. Let us
clearly show that we do not desire to
pose as the umpire between our faith
ful and loyal friends and our treach
erous and brutal enemies, but that we
are staunch ally of our friends and the
staunch foe of our enemies.
“When the German people repudi
ate the Hohenzollprns, then, and not
until then, it will be time to discrim
inate between them and their masters.
I hope the Senate and the House will
pass some resolution demanding the
unconditional surrender of Germany
as our war aim stating that our peace
terms have never yet been formulated
or accepted by our people and that
they will he fully disc seed with our
