HE Bolshevik proclamation offering to Russian workers and peasants excuses for the acceptance of an ignoble peace worth noting: Once more the German working class, in this threatening hour, has ehown itself ineuffictentiy determined to stay the strong criminal hand of {ts own militarism, We had no other cholce but to accept the conditions of German Imperialism until & revolution changes or cancels them. ‘Ae matters now stand no people or Government that has not ite own epecial reasons for accepting the conditions of German Imperial- lem can afford to let its war activities be for one moment affected by anything it hopes the German people, as distinguished from their masters, may do. It ought to be plain enough by now that for any one of the Allied nations to slacken its efforts on the strength of revolutionary signs or symptoms in Germany is folly of the most colossal and dangerous id. r Nothing has been of greater help to the Imperial German Gov- ernment in bringing Russia to ruin than the illusion so willingly entertained by Germany's enemies that the German people are ready to rise against their war lords and join tho great brotherhood of democracy. We may hope the German people are nearer to such an awakening then they were. We may be prepared to make the most of any real rift {n the Prussian bound political fabric of the Fatherland. But we must be blind, indeed, to events if we do not realize by this time that we have been much too eager to interpret every political tremor in Germany as the beginning of the wished-for earthquake, Far better for the United States and its Allies to forget for a time that there is any distinction between the German Government and the German nation, far safer to consider both as still overwhelm- ingly committed to autocracy and militarism, than to permit fancied signs of disruption in Germany to lead to the faintest modification of plans calling for supreme Allied effort on the firing line, The only sure way to discredit the Imperial German militarists $n tho eyes of the German people is to smash the armies of the former on land and to sink their submarines and their warships beneath the eca. Wait for no revolution in Germany. Force one, by fighting without further word of peace or parley, without faith in sign or promise, until the power that now acts and) epeaks as Germany is finally brought low. ny Sane oy The snow yesterday only made the marching lines look sturdier and more like business.

GOOD many persons have figured in unfortunate ways in this week’a news, but on one point there seems to be widespread agreement: Tho most ill-considered, half-baked, pernicious contribution of the entiro seven days was that made by the twenty-six-year-old Chairman of the Board of Directors of Morris & Co., the Chicago} packers, who declared before the Wage Arbitration Board in that) city that @1,288 a year is far more than is nec: fomily of five, that $20 a year to clothe a child is too much, that three pairs of shoes a year for a child is one pair too many, and that |~: thers is ample entertainment for a twelvemonth in going three times to the theatre. With these extraordinary statements an intelligent American public is quite capable of dealing in detail. But what shall be said, from the point of view of national and eivic assets, of a young man occupying a highly responsible position in a company which does a business of $40,000,000 a year, who pub i hes ae Vall phases of household work in bott licly discusses the needs and the standards of living of American | *) Phases of houw , workers as if it were a question of Chinese coolica?
