It is raid that the ladies who are
canvassing with the "service cards"
are not meeting with the encouragement
they should. This condition, no
doubt, is due to a misunderstanding
of what the cards mean. It is expected
that our country will need the
service of every man, woman and
child before the war is won. The purpose
of these cards is to register every
woman who is willing to serve her
country in any capacity. To sign this
card does not mean that you will be
railed from home unless you volunteer
to do so. If every community is
organized there will be plenty of work
to do right at home. Why wait until
our boys are suffering for what you
can do before you begin. Rigtit now
is the time to sign your service card
and be prepared to do what you can

EACE TERMS OF THE WORLD
Washington, Aug. 21.?President
Wilson, as head of the greatest bel
ligerent, will name the peace terms. \
It was the president's ambition to j
settle the war"as a mediator. Hohen- |
zollern frightfulness cheated him of
that, but the fates have decreed he 1
shall play the role anyhow.
Pope Benedict has probably opened
the way for the president to start the
drive which will end in peace?al- i
though it may be months or years
away.
The pope's proposal turns out to
be a document similar to the presilent's
"peace without victory speech."
Denounced at first as pro-German,
it will eventually be found fatal to
Berlin's aspirations.
Whether the pope's plea was conceived
by him or some other subtle
brain in the Vatican or at Vienna?
both schools of the profoundest diplomacy?it
is the most dangerous
t>- :? -- "
ui i IU39IUHIHID since me
war begun. i
The pope's idea is related to the I
reichstag revolt engineered by the
South-Gernuin Catholic party against
the Prussian war aims, which brought
on the recent abortive political crisis
at Berlin.
The pope's letter invites President
Wilson to widen this split by a suitable
reply. Master of diplomacy and
language, Wilson, of course, will seize
the opportunity. He will multe counter
proposals aimed at Prussia, not
Germany.
If Prussia answers unfavorably the
whole Berlin peace blulT will be exposed
and South Germany and Austria
will be shown they are lighting
for Prussian aggrandizement alone.
On the other hand, if Prussia agrees
to Wilson's proposals, the kaiser will
have lost the war and German militarism
will be on its death bed.
The allies realize Wilson has the
key, and that they must yield him
leadership and sacrifice territorial or
commercial ambitions.
Lloyd-George has said the only
issue is the vietorv of
- . ?V J
thereby waiving the whole question
of return of the German colonies,
Mesopotamia or indemnity.
This is exactly Wilson's position.
America is interested in questions
of territory and indemnity?only as
these things may be means of destroying
German autocracy.
If lhat can be accomplished without
"annextion or indemnity" or by any
other formula, the president is willing
to do it that way.
Consequently it is not difficult to
forecast the president's reply to the
pope. It will be entirely favorable
with a big if planted exactly where
the pope expected it, and prepared a
place for it.
In the language of the street, the
president's reply will pass the buck
to Prussia?the alternative of peace
or continued war.
If she elects war she will also face
dissension in South Germany and
Austria and trouble at home.
The president will emphasize the
point in the pope's letter above all
things repujrnant to Prussia?that is
the proposal for disarmament. That
the Berlin military gang will resist
to the last'.
President Wilson will say that it is
the most important, and that if Prussia
will give sufficient guaranty or
pledge of irood *?...? ? *'
.... pvnic HUHUliation
can begin on the understanding
that disarmament is agreed to.
That pledge will be the evacuation
of Belgium.
ADAMSON CHARACTERIZES
PACIFISTS AS FRIENDS OF
KAISER, HURTFUL TO U. S.
Washington, Aug. 18.?Declaring
that pacifist agitation in this country
now is of more value to the kaiser
than if the agitators were in the Cermiui
army. Representative Adamson
today returned to an East Orange, N.
J., pacifist a circular the letter had
sent urging the Georgian representative
to support Senator LaFollette's
peace resolution. Representative
Adamson, in returning the circular,
wrote:
"This circular is respectfully returned
with the assurance that the
president no doubt will discover the
very first indication ofa desire on the
part of the kaiser to qui? lighting and
make peace. The pacifiists, by meddling,
brought this war upon us because
they made the kaiser believe
that the American people would not
support the president's intentions.
