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

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-

ready to decide the matter at present. 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. Therefore we should all

CLARA ROBERTS ABOUT BRIAN.
By Jane Phelps.
CHAPTER LXXVII.
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,

"You remember that Mollie King we

Well, I met Mrs. Curtis the other

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

"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

"Too bad Ruth hag to be w,y from

"All men aren't like you," Clara an

and Ruth, in planning something for

consciously was a bit jealous of Ken-

"No but he thought it fine you1

he had taught himself, but that he did

"I am learning the touch svstem."

What II Is and How It Increases Weight Strength and Nerve Force
In Two Weeks' Time In Many Instances
SHOULD BE PRESCRIBED BY EVERY DOCTOR
AND USED IN EVERY HOSPITAL.
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

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

in Delaware, making 24 in all. The

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

the necessary phosphoric food elements
bitro-phosphate quickly produces a
welcome transformation in the appear
ance; the increase in weight fre
quently being astonishing.
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

perfect health.
