THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL Is the only newspaper in Salem whose -circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulations MILITARISTS MUST ACKNOWLEDGE DEFEAT. President Wilson has notified the German govern ment that it must apply to Marshal Foch on the battle field for armistice terms: That means unconditional surrender was the verdict reached by the inter-allied council at Versailles. Prussian military leaders-are hesitating to ask for what they know in advance will be most humiliating terms. Their'dreams of world domination are gone for ever and their armies are broken and defeated, but more than anything else perhaps, their pride deters them from asking the allied commander in chief for terms which will sfnn the useless slaughter of their soldiers. The al lied representatives no doubt put the matter in this way fn Vinmhle their nride bv forcine them to ac knowledge military defeat. transmitted to the German government ust as arasuc but even if they, were accepted, Hindenburg and Luden dorff would always contend that their armies were not defeated in the field. That is why the fighting will go on until the com mander of the German field armies sends his envoys under a flag of truce and asks for armistice terms, which can only be the preliminary step toward surrender. Meanwhile the great armies go right on about their business of winning the war and reducing the Central Towers to the smallest possible remnant of military power and prestige. On the western front the French, Belgians, British and Americans go ahead battering the weary Germans, in. creasing rather than relaxing their efforts. And we note with special interest the fact that the American troops, holding the most crucial part of the line, where the Ger mans are fighting hardest to prevent a strategic disaster, are using bigger and more effective guns than have yet been used anywhere in this war. The Italians have utter ly crushed the Austrians and forced their unconditional surrender. There is inspiration in the example of our armies. Let the people at home stick to their war tasks in the same spirit, until authoritative word comes that the war is ended, and then we shall soon have the peace we want. FORGIVING OUR DEBTORS. George W. Wickersham, former attorney general of the United States, insists that we should literally forgive the war obligations of our debtor allies. He would like to see America send a receipted bill to Great Britain, France, Italy and Belgium. , "We can afford to do it," he explains, "in view of all they bore and suffered in the years before we entered the war to hold the line against the Hun and keep autocracy from crushing democracy." There is no question of the huge moral debt we owe the nations which, while fighting for self-preservation, have fought at the same time for free civilization every where, and have stood between Germany and the United States. They were literally fighting our battle for years before we entered the war. . Needless to say, however much the war is costing us now, it would have cost us vastly more if we had been obliged to face German aggres sion alone, now or hereafter. And we should certainly have had to reckon with Germany some time, in any event. Whether the American people could .be persuaded, for all that, to make our allies a gift of the money they have borrowed and are borrowoing, is" a question. It amounts to several billions now. It may be $10,000,000,000 or $15,000,000,000 by the end of the war. We could prob- LADD & BUSH, Bankers are receiving subscriptions now forthe yffl f!.1U LIBERTY OREGON .43c .35c Per Month..

The future is not yet sufficiently certain. We can tell better what to do when the peace treaty is signed. Our political editor wishes to be excused today from telling exactly why the elections turned out as they did because it isn't just as clear as it might be yet what did happen. Experts can always explain, to their own satis faction at least, almost anythingafter it has happened. Of course if they could explain it in advance they would not be experts, but prophets. For instance, if the demo crats continue in control of congress our political expert can explain very easily why the people voted that way and if it turns out that the republicans have gained ascen dency, his explanation of ,why it happened will be just as lucid and convincing. Apparently the people of Marion county voted very intelligently and independently.

Brian had flushed when Konyon Rob erts had asked him where the business college was situated. Had he not, Ken yon would havo thought nothing of it, as the locality was one in which such a school might be located. But that sudden flush and embarrassed look, tho gone in a mouiout, told a story to tho j astute young lawyer, They had a really gav time while eat ing the rarebit and Ruth felt sure she was going to bo very happy again, now that she was at home. Once more she thought: "I will ask Mr. Mandel not to send mo awny oftener than is abso lutely necessary; and not for so long a time," She would meet Brian more than half way in trying to be together i all they could. , When they were preparing lor bed, Konyon Roberts said to his wife: 'I wonder what llackott is up to!" "Why what do you meant" "Nothing much perhaps it is niy no tion, and I should say nothing about it even to you. But when you and Ruth were making the, rarebit I asked him where tho school of typing was located, tiii.i he said 'Down near the Square' anil flushed peculiarly. The queer part of it is that I have seen him sev eral times lately while Ruth was away going in that direction with his arms full of paper bundles.

"I'm sure I don't know! but I hope he isu 't carrying on an affair with one of those Village girls. Buth is too nice a woman to be up against anything like that." "You remember that Mollie King we met that night we ealled on the Cur tis'!" "Yes, why?" Well, I met Mrs. Curtis the other day. She is pretty much of a gossip, and sho told mo that Miss King and Brian used to bo 'thick as thieves.' Perhaps he goes there. She lives down there near the Square' "I hope not! altho I recall being fa orably impressed with Miss King. She seemed ( good sort." "I liked her teo! Mrs. Curtis said everyone always liked her; and that her friends were astonished when Brian married Ruth. He had been going with Mollio so long, they thought he was going to. marry her." "Too bad Ruth hag to be w,y from him so much." Kenyoa yawned, "we men don 't like to come home to a worn anless home, yon know." "All men aren't like you," Clara an swered, then thty both forgot Brian and Ruth, in planning something for themselves. ' ' Well, Brian , how did yon get along t" Ruth asked after their guests had left. "Pretty well! I'm a little elumsy with my hands. Guess thev are toe big." "Have you a good teacher!" now held by Senator Weeks of Massa "Pretty fair, I guess." Had Ruth chusetts.

"Do yon think sot" pleased at the compliment. "Of course I do! did you have a good game tonight! Very! Clara won. and vou know how pleased she is when she doe8 win." '.'Roberts tell you any news! Has he any more new clients!" Brian un- consciously was a bit jealous of Ken- yon Roberts, yet he liked him. . "No but he thought it fine you1 were studying tvping," again Ruth veered around to tho subject, "he said he had taught himself, but that he did not type correctly altho he made good- looking letters and briefs." "I am learning the touch svstem." "He said he wished he hadf that it wag the thing to do." Again Brian changed the subject. He never had told an out and out lie to Ruth, he didn't want to; really had no lost tho republican seat held by 8taf iutention of doing so. Should sho ask ford of Wisconsin to Victor Bergor, the him, he would fraukly tell her that Mol ho King was his teacher, but he would prevent the asking if he could. Surely there was nothing wrong in that! so he reasoned. And Brian really meant no wrong. He iiad been lonely because Ruth left him: and had taken means to dissipate that loneliness.

Incomplete re turns from the elections yesterday for tho United States senate and the house of representatives indicated this morn ing tho republicans" will control both bodies of the legislative branch of tho government after next March. On the face of returns, the republi cans have gained seven scats in the senate and lost one t0 the democrats.' Senators elected by the republicans to take tho places of sitting democrats were Ball, in Delaware, in place of Senator Suulsbury; Gooding in place of senator rsugent in IdaJio; -Fhipps, inJ Colorado, in place of Senator bharroth; M,cUoimick in Illinois, in place of Sen ator Lewis (tho democratic whip of the upper body); Capper in Kansas, in place of Senator Thompson; Kcycs in Jow Hampshire in place of Senator Hollis, and Spencer in Missouri over former Governor Folk.

Says Editor of "Physician's Who's Who." Take plairr bitro-phosphate is the ad vice of physicians, to thin, delicate, nervous people who lack vim, energy and nerve force, and there seems to be ample prosf of the efficacy of this preparation to warrant the recommen dation. Moreover, if wo judge from the countless preparations and treatments which are continually being advertis ed for the purpose of making thin peo ple fleshy, developing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keen ly feel their excessive thinness. Thinness and weakness 'are usually dne to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is eontained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this de ficiency so well as the organic phos phate known moar druggists as bitro phosphate, which is inexpensive and is sold by most all druggists nnder a guarantee of satisfaction or money bai'k. By feeding the nerves directly dicatcd party division being fifty re- publicans and forty-six democrats. Tho present senate contained 52 democrats and 44 republicans. In the contest for the house of rep resentatives tho republicans have ap- parently gained 24 seats from the dem- ocrats and the democrats eight seats from the republicans. These figures made the next house stand: republicans 226; democrats 200, with eleven scats still in doubt. Gains by the republicans include four scats in Kansas, three in Indiana, two in Pennsylvania, two in West vir i ginia, two in Ohio, tw0 in Nebraska, two in New York, one in Kentucky, one. in Missouri, where Champ Clark, dem-i ocrat, was apparently defeated; one in Maryland, one in New Jersey, one in jRkodo Island, one in Colorado and onei in Delaware, making 24 in all. The repiblicans, howover, appeared to have socialist leader, who is under indict ment for violating the espionage act. Gains by tiie democrats in the lower house include five from New York, two from New Jersey and one in Massa chusetts In the senate fight the republicans held doubtful states, which were Rhode i Island, West Virginia, South Dakota and Nebraska, Wliilo New Jersey does not show a gain for republicans in tho senate, ono of they scats to which Baird and Edgo, republicans, havo been elected for the short and long terms, respectively, was that which was held by William Hughes, democrat, made vacant by bis aoOTn In Now York the governorship con test is so close that the soldier vote, yet to be counted, may be the deciding fac tor.

Clinical test made in St. Catherine's hospital, N. Y. C, showed that two pa tients gained in weight 23 and 27 pounds, respectively, through the ad ministration of this organic phosphate; both patients claim they have not felt as strong and well for tho past twelve years. . . This increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement in . the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, soen dis appear, dull eyes become bright and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health.
