T 18 DIFFICULT to see how the Imperial German Government cap prevent Germans from learning exactly why the President of the Uniti States, speaking for this mation, rejected the Pope's peace proporal. Short of suppressing the whole document, it is hard to see how the Kaiser's censors can ink out any part or parte of the President's reply to the Vatican without leaving its direct and serious theaning for the German mind stil) unobscured. Por in practically every paragraph of the brief document the . President contrives with telling iteration to insist upon his main point: German Government which “has accustomed the world to its malign influences,” can never henceforth, in any peace council to which the Entente Allies consent, be permitted to offer pledges for Germany. From beginning to end the President's note carries an impressive appeal to the German people to come forward with “conclusive evi- dence of their will and purpose,” if it is their wish “to restore the confidence of all peoples everywhere in the faith of nations and the possibility of a covenanted peace.” No more solemn, significant summons was ever served upon a nation as distinguished from its rulers. Nor can that summons be long intercepted by those rulers. Once grasped, the alternative offered the German people is plain enough: ‘ Either get rid of a dynasty whose war-dyed principles and policies 4 civilization refuses to tolerate and come back to the company of nations that respect one another's rights; j Or go down with that dynasty to a ruin wherein the once pros- j perous Fatherland will figure only as a wretched, war-wrung outcast i The President has answered the Pope. And he has made his _ Answer a new means of getting through Prussian barriers to the German public. + WORTHY OF THE CITY. ’ y an were no two opinions this morning as to the success of last night’s great send-off dinner which the Mayor’s Com- mittee and The Evening World had labored to make a memor- “able part of New York’s farewell to its soldiers. It is safe to say the thirty thousand men wiio sat down to the feast in armories and in camps will never forget what gras after all the best thing about it—the spirit of patriotic appreciation and enthusiasm alive in city and commonwealth which made it possible. This newspaper will always be proud that it was the first to urge . and work for a send-off to New York’s troops, of which to-day's historic parade is the fitting climax, But The Evening World is prouder still to have proved that the, call to come forward nd honor New York’s own soldiers could count on @ response worthy of the city and that the’ patriotism of New Yorkers can recognize a great occasion and measure up to it. . en / HOW THE SUFFRAGISTS CAN SCORE. HE Woman Suffrage Party conference at Saratoga starts off with ; T considerable sighing over the various kinds of suffrage cam- paigning that have had to be given up on account of the war. As a matter of fact, if the Suffragists at Saratoga want to score the best campaign stroke they have ever made they will do two thiigs: *° They will declare that so long as there is war work that women can do for the nation they will make their first and foremost appeal for their cause by Going that work as faithfully and efficiently as they can. They will declare that while the nation remains at war no woman who importunes, insults or annoys the President of the United States or who embarrasses the Government by militant tactics of any sort is « friend Sf Suffrage or will be recognized as such, * ‘Two resolutions carried on these lines would do as much as many days of electioneering not only to win ‘the Suffragists new votes on Nov. 6 but to save them many former fri¢nds whom they are nearer to losing than they realize, A 3 sis ek SR a he eet Hits From Sharp Wits “My observation 1a," said the fel-) brows, A dry Jow on the corner, “that if there is | day morning will help ehee camies anything as pretty as a pretty ankle | Tes ft Is another one just lke tt."—Col- umbus (Ga.)
