IT IS UP TO GERMANY.
President Wilson assuming that Germany's request
for peace is sincere has acceded to it to the extent that i
lie nas submitted tne proposal to me anies. tie poinis
out that the way to peace is open to the German people
whenever they see fit to accept it and act on it, and that
way is through unconditional surrender. It is not at all
likely the president is acting on his own initiative in sub-
mining me uerman repiy 10 uie ames, iur 11 1 nituncciv
able that the whole matter has not been gone over
thoroughly by the leaders of each government and a line
of action agreed upon, which includes President Wilson's
taking the course he has in responding to the last Ger
man note.. For this reason the situation is tense, for it
means that the allies will state terms on which an armis
tice can be obtained which will mean unconditional sur
render. : There is no other course open, except a virtual
surrender on the part of the allies. This will pass the
whole matter back to Germany to accept or refuse. What
action Germany will take depends oh how thoroughly the
war lords are" discredited by the German people, and
whether they have still, influence enough to induce the
German people to make still another effort before yield-
ine to the inevitable. The war lords as well as the peo
pie realize at last that they are beaten and that the dream
of world domination is over. They realize that whatever
terms the allies dictate will have to be accepted sooner or
later, and the only chance of their not being accepted now
is that the German mind working along the lines so far
followed, that feat and terror may cause a weakening ot
the, allies' demands and that by continuing the war to tne
last ditch better terms .can be; obtained. 8 However with
Bulgaria out of it, Turkey no longer a factor and Austria
ready to accept the terms oliered uermany, tnere is now
ine for the latter to hope for by a continuance of the strug
gle. It is a bitter pill for Germany to swallow, but it is
the only remedy, and so it will be taken. The next move
will be the reply of the other allies to President Wilson,
and then the matter will be left up to Germany to accept
or reject. . . :
. NO USE FOR SUCH. 1 :
..; The temper of the American people is illustrated in
the action of Oregon merchants in returning products of
the Albers mills after it was discovered their owner was
pro-Hun. They did right and have the backing of every
frue American. ' A foreigner coming to this country, pov
erty stricken, and who through the opportunities given
him accumulates a fortune of millions, and then turns
against the country and the people from whom he has re
ceived such treatment, can expect nothing but contempt
from every decent citizen. As soon as his offense was
made public Albers resigned the presidency of the big
milling firm, but this was done, no doubt, to protect its
trade. A change of presidents does not alter the spots of
the leopard or the skin of the Ethiopian. The resignation
is too much like the abdication of Albers' boss,, the kaiser,
in that so long as he owns the business he can undo his
resignation business whenever he pleases. f '
, A commission of neutral residents of Brussels to ex
amine into the charges of unnecessary devastation and
destruction during the Germa nretreat in Belgium, will
be under the direction of Baron von der Lancken, civil
governor of Brussels. When it is remembered that this
distinguished brute is the same that played a leading role
in the murder of Edith Cavill, even refusing to allow her
to-sec a Belgian lawyer, the enlightening results of any
investigation conducted by him or under his direction by
two Spaniards and a Hollander all of whom are German
sympathizers, can be seen in advance.
While the German peace question is being discussed
it will be noticed that Foreign Minister Balfour of Great
Britain says Germany's colonies will never be returned
te her. He holds that the retention of these by England
if a'necessity for their own peace, as well as that of the
world. - - v ' '
All records of foreign exports for the month of Sep
tember were broken last month when the total was $550,
000,000, or more than $100,000,000 increase. The imports
during the same time were $262,-000,000, or an increase of
$26,000,000 over those of September, 1917. The exports
taken in connection with what the government has sent
across the ocean in the way of supplies and munitions for
the arm makes the shipping for the month far in excess
of anything the country has ever known. - That such -a
tremendous foreign trade was handled shows the utter
futileness of the under-sea war. The figures are enough
to discourage even Von Tirpitz. . . . -
The governor, in rushing to the defense of the Oregon
state police, calls attention to the things they did: Among
them, however, nothing was said about one being arrest
ed for speaking disrespectfully of the government, and
two others placed in charge of the matter of -watching
the road over the mountains from California for boot
leggers standing in with the gang they were supposed to
be watching. There was nothing said either about the
wild chasing over' the country roads after Campbell by
auto loads of the police.
Sunday morning next at 2 o'clock standard time will
again go into effect as the setting back of the clocks will
take effect at that time. It is not necessary however to
wait for the hour, but just move the hands back when you
wind the clock Sunday night. Last spring the United
States lost an hour and this it will find again Sunday. The
loss of an hour seems but little, but to one hundred million
people it means a total loss of 11,000 years counted m 8
hour working days, a loss of 33,000 years for one man.
Jonathan Bourne, of unsavory fame in Oregon, is the
mouthpiece of the national republican party and as such
takes occasion to attack the administration bitterly
through the press. Jonathan's reputation is pretty widely
known and is such that few if any decent people would
believe him. His condemnation is really as strong an en
dorsement as he can make.
