It is simply one meowe stupid remark to add to the already lengthy list of ab- surdities which has emanated from the mouth of the war lord. Yes, it is there might not be many desolate spots.in France today if the German peace proposal had been ac- cepted in December, 1916. And it is just as true.that had Relgium per- mitted itself to be bullied into allow- ing Germany to pass through the lit- tle neighbor, King Albert's domains would been violated so out- it is also true that true, S0 have rageously. And had England entered the her families would not have lost so many soldicrs. And, finally, it is true that had America not joined the fight for freedom and democracy, we would not have the daily casualty lists in our newspapers and all ghe other hor- rible aspects of war. But—and here is where the Kaiser shows himself to be totally ignorant of the trend of thought in civilized parts of the world, if we and our Allies had not taken it we ‘were not determined to prosecute the war to a successful conclusion; if we had not made up our minds to consider no terms of peace which we ourselves did not dictate, we would certainly noav be in the same predica- ment as the misguided Russians, who, if they . dared declare themselves, would tell the world that it is far bet- ter to see their homes desroyed and to die fighting on the battlefield than to live under Prussian domination. The writer has lived over a year " Ger- not not war, up arms against German) in a terrttory occupied by the mans. He has only this to say about it. Dear as are his wife and child to him, he would a hundred times rather soe them dead at his feet than to have them subjected to the tortures of the hell on earth created by the Prussians in every country invaded by them. The Kaiser says he is sorrowful at But he will be a thousand times more sor- when the Allies are through the desolation he saw in France. rowful with him. THE TELEGRAPHERS. Because he failed to obtain recog- nésion of the union, the president of the Telegraphers’ Union, who has been in Washington officials there the government control of wire lines, thrcatens a strike. He declares that such a strike would not affect the railroads, but that where lines handle both railroad and com- mercial business, the latter will not be transmitted by the operators. Even though they have no tion: of affecting the railroads, would be well for the operators think twice before declaring a st hurt in a inten- it would business way. The cannot be foreseen which results of such in their entirety, Thus far the operators have co-operated splen- didly in the war work of the country. They form a vital cog in the great machine. Why should they wish to spoil their enviable record ac- count of an alleged grievance?

(From the Christian Science Monitor) A suggestion, creditad to a Parisian jcurnalist, that a personal visit by Fresident Wilson to FEurope, at this time would go great way toward making sure the final decision in favor of the allied nations, ra cuce more, the interesting question as | to whether or not the president of | the United States may zo beyond the | borders of the country during his term of office. Tradition, custom, precedent long combined in holding to contrary, but there is nothing in Constitutional or the v law of the nation to support this point. It is impossible to trace to any author- | itative source the origin of the belief tlat the president would cease to be ident the moment ne stepped on foreign soil. As a matter of fact, two presidents. during their incum- bency, did actually go outside the | berders of the United States. Grover | Cleveland was the first to do so, when, on one of his fishing excur- | sions, he went hevond the three-mile | limit in the Atlantic ocean. William tloward Taft, however, went farther | than this. On October 16. 1909, in | the course of a long tour, he met| Fresident Porfirio Dinz by arrange- ment on a strip of territory known as | El Chamtzal, to which the conflicting claims of the United States and Mex- | ico have never been definitely settlgd. After a reception on the American side of the line to the Mexican execu- tive by Prestdent Taft, the latter paid a return visit to President Diaz on | the Mexican side. This was the firs time a president of the United States had personally greeted the chief ex- ecutive of any other government on | foreign soil. President Wilson has broken some rock-riven precedents since he en- tered the White House, and it is not hevond imagining that. if he felt that some great purpose might he ac- complished thereby, he would not | Lesitate to visit Europe. The presi- dent of the United States enjoys in many respects, almost unlimited pow- ers; these powers are derived from | the people; whether he might leave the country for. a period without in- volving himself in any difficulty, tech- nical or other, would depend far les upon the views of constitutional con- structionists than upon public senti- ment. If the people said he might g0; he could go. That would be the end of it. Some dissatisfied person, or element, might raise the point that in going outside of the national ter- | ritcry he had made himself subject | to the disability clause of the con- stitution, but the nation would give no countenance to such a contention. When James A. Gurfield was lying Zlberon, the question of disability raised, and, although the nation to all extents and purposes, for weeks, without a president capable ot | erforming the functions of his office. the suggestion that he be superseded, even ad interim, s hushed by an outburst of public indignation. There is no law to interfere with a isit by President Wilson to Europe ir the existing clvcumstances. If it | should appear to the allied nations, | and to his own country, that his presence in Furope would be serv- iceable to the cause of civilization and humanity, and if he should, for | humanity’s sake consent to under- take the voyage, whatever safeguards | might be necessary, n the form of | | { a have the | the ; is ai was was. luws, to protect his rights as chief n agistrate during his absence, would, tpon popular demand, be quickly cted. No technicalities, no quib- ! bling, no fear lest affairs at home n.1ght not be scrupuiously and jeal- | cusly guarded in the interval, would be permitted to obstruct or deluy so sacred a mission. The United States constitution has teen found adaptable to every situa- } tion and contingency with which the | nation, throughout its history, has been confronted. If it shall appear to | be in the interest of the greatest | cause in which the republic has ever cnlisted that the president should | leave for FKurope. his fellow citizens, M ebably almost with one accord, will grant him leave of absence and wish him prosperity unbounded in his Gen. Gorgas at (Philadelphia Simply Sixty-four.
