THE EMPIRE THAT WAS TIME IS UP FOR GERMANS; | CENTENARY DRIVE TO DATE , JULIUS STANLEY RETURNS '
"The Independent," of New York,
has published in an editorial, the following:
excellent summary, of what
has happened to Germany.
The Peace Treaty is a stern document.
The condition which it im*
poses on the German nation are terrible
in their severity. But the sternness
is the sternness of righteousness,
the severity is the severity of
justice. To the German nation and
the German people is being meted out
not vengeance but retribution.
The rulers of the German Empire,
with the fierce approval and the unstinted
co-operation of the German
people set out to impose the will of
German autocracy upon the world by
ruthless force. But there was a
moral power in the world which,
working through other peoples, would
nnf U k. TL- r> 17"
nvi ivv iv ut. a iic uci man umpire is
no more. Its people sinned the unforgiveable
sins of unrighteous ambition
and the rejection of every
moral standard. The punishment was
long in coming; at times it almost
looked as though it might not come
at all. But the moral law will not be
'denied. The righteousness which exalteth
a nation is deliberately reject ed
at a people's peril.
The German Empire was a great
power. It was steadily becoming
greater. But it desired to be not
merely great, but omnipotent. What
is the German Empire now?
In 1914 the German Empire included
an area of nearly a million and
a quarter bquurc miles. Over a million
square miles of territory were
outside of Europe, some 200,000
square miles on the European continent.
When the peace treaty is
signed?for it will be signed practically
without change?the German
Empire will have shrunk to an area
of 160,000 square miles. It will have
been stripped of every possession beyond
the limits of Europe. It will
have lost Alsac-Lorraine with two
great cities, Strasburg and Metz;
parts of B'lesia, West Prussia, Posen
and East Prussia with the prosperous
port of Danzig; an<J bits along the
Belgian frontier. There will be taken
way in Europe nearly 5U.UU0 square
miles, and in the rest of the world
.over a million square miles.
The German army and the German
navy, the instruments which were to
have put the neck of the world be
neath the heel of German autocrncy.
are to become mere shadows of their
former flaunting power. Germany
may have an army of only 100,000
officers and men and a navy of six
mall battleships, six light cruisers,
twelve torpedo boats and no submarines.
Germany must abolish conscription,
destroy the fortifications of the
tronghold of the 'German navy, Heligoland,
build no forts overlooking the
Baltic or within thirty miles of the
French and Belgian frontier, maintain
no military or naval air forces,
import or export no munitions of
war and manufacture only a specified
minimum of such materials, open the
Kiel Canal to the merchant end war
ships of all nations. German militarism
is no more. It was overwhelmingly
defeated on the field of
battle by the armed forces of the defenders
of humanity. It is now, with
merciless logic, rendered impotent to
make another attempt to dominate
the world by force. The world has
been made safe from that particular
manifestation of autocracy.
Germany is compelled to accept
full responsibility for all the loss and
damage to which the Allied nations
have been subjected and to pay the
bill for reparation and restitution
which the Allies will assess. The bill
will be as large as Germany can pay.
The first payment alone will amount
to five billion dollars. It will require
all the energy and industry of the
German people for a long time to
co?.ie to liquidate that portentous indebtedness;
there will Le little energy
left for the renewal of plans of aggression.
Germany is forced to rep'ace the
merchant shipping destroyed by the
unholy submarine campaign by handing
over all its merchant ships of
large sis&o and building others to the
amount of a million tons also to be
delivered to the Allied powers. So
Germany must begin all over again
if it will seek to reconquer the trade
of the world.
Germany must agree to the trial
1 by an international tribunal of the^
j former German Kaiser for "a su?
preme offense against international
fj morality and the sanctity of treaties.'
rihe mighty prince, whose mailed fist
and shining armor were the symbols
of the arrogant pretensions of the
German Empire, becomes, with the
consent of those at whose head hetook
the held, an indicted criminal at
i the bar of the world's justice,
n The retribution, which the victorI
\ ious champions of humanity are ex\
acting from the downfallen aggres
1 sors against the peace of the world,
^ is full-measured, but it does not pass
the bounds of justice and right. The
A punishment, as all proper punish\
menta ought to be, is the logical se\\quel
to the crime and the indispensable
guarantee against tte repetition.

No extension has been granted the
Germans who are expected to prcent
to the members of the peace
-or.gress a voluminous record of objections
and of acceptances of the
clauses of the document.
Although the leaders throughout
Germahy have declared that the
reaty as framed unacceptable and
t will Viot be signed without modification
for opinion in Paris seems to
prevail that after the representatves
of the allied and associated governments
have considered the objections
raised by the German plenipo- v
;.itiaries and formulated their final j
reply the Germans will affix their sig- -j
natures to the compact. j
OF THREE AMERICAN PLANES
TO START ACROSS ATLANTIC e
ONLY ONE STILL IN THE RACE d
S
Washington.?Tugging at anchor f
fh the harbor of Ponta Del Gadft, the 'f
seaplane NC4, the lone survivor of ^
the American navy for first trans-At- ^
lantic flight honors, awaits only fa- :<
.'orable weather for the start of the 1
dOO mile dash to Lisbon, Portugal. P
After three days at Porta, where
she landed on completion of the rec- "
ord-breaking flight from Newfound- "
land, Lieut. Commander A. C. Rcid's '
big ship flew to Po'nta Del Gada to- '
lay in remarkable fast time, covering d
the 150 miles in one hour and 4>1 v
minutes. The flight to Lisbon should 11
not require more than ten hours. Af- *
cor replenishing fuel supplies and be- m
jig overhauled in Portugal, the NC4
A'ill undertake the last leg of the U
voyage to Plymouth, England.
Commander Towers' report to
Washington on the condition of the g
three planes ahd their crews is as
follows:
NC-1 sank at sea, all persons re- . j
scued. NC-3 at moorings in Ponta t,j
Del Gada in very badly dumaged conlit
ion. Is being disassembled rind
will be sent to New York. '
til
NC-4 at moorings in Ponta Del jj
Gada bay in excellent condition and
.v il proceed to Lisbon soon as (jj
weather conditions permit.
Naval experts said that the perforinances
thus far in the trans-At
? ...
lantic flight have demonstrated that ^
groat strides in aviation have been uj
.nide from an engineering stand- eI
point but that the development of yj
seaplanes has not yet reached the
itages where they are of demonstrated
commercial value. All apparently
ire agreed that bigger ships are ^
.ffccessary for trans-Atlantic flying.
Officials emphasized, however, that
^he work of commander Towers'
squadron had been highly satisfactory
ir:d they are convinced that fog alone
prevented all three of the flying craft
from reaching the Azores through the =
rir. The value of the design also was <
demonstrated they-said, by the ability
show?n by the NC-3 to ride through
a storm.

I have enjoyed the debate immensely
that has been carried on by
'he young lady and young man in our
paper. lloth have given excellent
points, hut let me give the young man
i warning. While your argument is ( * ?
food you will have to keep still or do
i little better or the young lady will
trove her point by the papers she is
publishing.
After all it is not a question of inferiority
or superiority, I?ut one of
utility. Is there tiny man who
iouhls that his mother, who hits resir d
him and his sisters, and taught
hem right from wrong, is capable of
asting just as intelligent a vote as ~~
he himself, even though she may be
'coking in advantages she has given
t,:... o
211111 .
1 could never see why u woman
should fail in her home duties if she
vere given a chance to vote. Does a
nan give up tlx- business that he is
n to go to the polls?
I have voted, and although 1 was
at housekeeping at the time, I have
Miown many mothers that I know
vere rood home makers, to cast their
etc, which only took about 15 ntini".is,
and go on about their business.
There is no one who likes to keep
!i'>use or loves their childitr. letter
than 1 do, . ut I feel just as .enable of
casting a vote as the many, not only
in this community, hut throughout
the United States who can not read
tor write and who ei'her sell their
vote or vote fot anyone, pot really
knowing why they east their vote.
1 have even heard some voters say
they didn't see any use n all this
'volin* business" .any way.
Of course there will be women who
by circumstances, and some by choice
have to earn their own living, will
he in position to hold public otlicc,
but the majority of us will stay at
our home jobs of housekeeping, for
such is th" nature of all women.
XuUrage is < oniinir and we might as
well accept iL with good grace.
There is not a mother living who
does not want to see her daughter
stand on an equality with her son,
knowing that one is as intelligent as
the other and that onlv tradition
holds the girl hack.
We had hotter make our voting a
matter of intelligence rather than a
question of sex.
The reason we like children is
that they are natural, and the reason
they are natural is that they are sure
of dinner.
