ONSISTENTLY adhering to the principle of seif-determination for peoples hitherto subject to dynastic dictation, the Pr dent shuts the door on the Austro-Hungarian Governme: peace proposals. The Government of the United States has recognized the Czecho Slovak Naticnal Council as a de facto belligerent government acting for a politically distinct people. The Government of the United States has “also recognized in the fullest manner the justice of the) nationalistic aspirations of the Jugo-Slavs for freedom.” The President declares himself therefore no longer at liberty to accept the mere “autonomy” of these peoples as a basis of peace, but is obliged to insist that tiey, and not he, shall be the judges of what action on the part of the Austro-Hungarian Government will satisfy thelr aspiration and their conception of their rights and destiny as members of the family of nations. ; dn other words, the Government of the United States cannot be) persuaded to constitute itself even remotely a partner or associate of} autocracy in settlitg the political destiny of peoples quite capable of settling it for themselves. The future is no longer chiefly in the hands of governments. | As a Socialist newspaper, the Arbeiter Zeitung of Vienna, was quoted last week: The Counts declared war, but the representatives of the people will conclude peace. Count Berchtold, Count Tisza and Count von Hoetzendorf decided upon a punitive expedition against Serbia, little thinking they were conducting the ancient empire of the Hapsburgs to an abyss. The President makes it clear that the United States intention cf helping the Hapsburg dynasty to disguise itself in hastily donned garments of liberalism and condescending benevolence} in order to keep a place in what is going to be before » of Peoples. t's no 1 Peace —_—_—_—_—_—_ | i THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN. HE Fourth Liberty Loan has been oversubscribed by the Amer- ican people. Better still, the total number of subscribers is} estimated at 20,000,000, which makes this biggest of war loans far and away the most popular. The country will have to wait, of course, for the exact figures, but it can rest assured the loan went well over the top. In the face of such serious handicaps as one of the worst epi- demies on record and ation-wid upation with Germany's peace move, the workers in the Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign have achieved extraordinary results. hey have accomplished what is peculiarly their task—that of bringing home to a constantly growing mumber of individual Americans the fact that their part in the war counts enormously and that by doing it with their dolla they get} into partnership with the safest institution in the world. Americans are not yet as ready as are the people of I'rance to invest the last dollar of their savings and earnings in their Govern- ment. But the spirit of banking with Uncle Sam when opportunity offers is growing and will wax even stronger in a Fifth and a Sixth Liberty Loan. If 20 per cent. of the people of the United States can take a $6,000,000,000 war loan in the brief period of three weeks—less than 20 per cent. having already raised $10,000,000,000 in similar loans during th previous year and a half—what chance can any other power or group of powers think they have against the progressive mobilization of this Nation’s full resources and strength? THE PROFITEERING BUTCHERS. | TT: spectacle of scores of profiteering retail butchers in this ren city scurrying to refund overcharges to their customers and make contributions to the Red Cross in order to escape the possible alzernative of $5,000 fine and two years in prison is one of only partis! justice in ‘the eyes of New Yorkers who have suffered from the extortionate practices of these now badly frightened meat dealers, Not a particle of sympathy goes ont to the butchers who are in difficulties with the Federal Food Board. They have known per- fectly well what they were doing when they boosted prices regardless of the margin of profit which others, more patriotic, had agreed were fair. They deliberately chose to prey upon the public. They are getting far more mercy than they deserve in being allowed to esc: ape the full penalty of the law by restitution which can at best reach but a emall number of those they have robbed. Give them and their plight the widest possible publicity. can plead veither ignorance nor misunlerstanding.

Well, sir, I just laughed at them, And, do you know? they didn’t want to tease me much after that, I don't know why they didn’t, but I guess it was because they didn’t want to get laughed at." Pause at this point to let the child think {t over a little and see if he has any questior ‘Then continue like this: “Of course, if any of the boys had done anything to hurt mo I sim- ply would have told my father about it, and then the boys would not have bothered me any more—or I could have told the teacher and she would bave tended to the boys.” Making the Most of Our Children point turn down the corners of your mouth, allow the lps to protrude and nod your head as you say the next few words), “But I never had any trouble, Little boys never hurt any- body.
