FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1918 The Peace Preliminary There are certain things that sug- gest themselves from the purposed visit of President Wilson to Europe to be present at the preliminary and opening meetings of the peace con- ference, particularly the suggestion that the important features of the peace treaty are not to be the sub- ject of discussion in the large con- vention that wil! meet within a few weeks to adopt the terms of peace. We suspect that the essential parts of the peace terms will be arranged at the preliminary meeting of a few chosen delegates and that it will re- main only for the larger gathering to ratify and adopt, with, perhaps, here and there minor changes in details conceded but with no variation from the essentials of the draft made at the preliminary meetings. We cannot imagine that President Wilson can think that the govern- ment of the United States at a time. such as this can function' properly without its executive head. There is nothing in our Constitution or in precedent to authorize the. transfer-| ence of the President' s power to any other individual. It is inconceivable that there should be a long period of time in which legislation shall stop, Congress held impotent because of the absence of the President, that the impertant work of guiding the --~-- FB aii carried over .. settlement of international 'political 'problems, UE Versailles, queens, -. France had found "the strength to nation through the difficult task of | the reconstruction of our social and economic organization be kept waiting upon the return of the] head of the government. An absence | of a few weeks would be of little use| to the President for attendance upon | } the peace conference. It will be a slow moving body, with a multitude of intricate and difficult matters to| adjust. The United States must be represented in these and responsible men, but the welfare of the nation can scarcely be served by sacrificing the President from his important duties at home for service | upon a commission to which other governments have found trusted and trustworthy plenipotentiaries. There is, then, the one interpreta- tion to be put upon the departure of the President for Europe, the purpose to arrange in a small circle of diplo- mats the terms that shall be imposed upon Germany, to decide upon the "disposition that -is te--be- made of Serritory that will ,ehange. hands: as a result of 'the war," conference at, which the from ali the naticns involved in the £5 J muaking of peace. shall. appear, It 'is' the method of the. political | inte the | Peace ; Royalty Once.

The ill-fated Louis and his un- happy queen inherited the conditions by which they were overthrown, Theirs was not the guilt for the suf- fering that engulfed France in blood. Not so with the fleeing kings of to- day who are paying the price of op- pression, except the Austrian ruler who came into power at a time when | no other course was open to him. But William II. of Germany has deliber- ately built up the condition to which he himself has fallen victim and he will not have the sympathy of the world of the has the future as SiX- teenth Louis. History has shown that a lasting dynasty cannot be built upon the oppression of mankind. The war which has just come to a conclusion has set the final proof to that fact. It is a lesson for rulers to ponder and to accept. The day of the auto- crat has passed and the rights of man must now be recognized as the only firm foundation upon which a government may be established. Bread The Food Administration - an- nounces that the ban upon white flour has been lifted and again the American people may indulge them- selves in the snowy loaf that, in the good days-before the war, constitut- ed almost our only bread. During the years that the wheat substitute has been a necessary part of the food of the learned to use a have variety of other sorts of flour and meal. Many people have discovered that they enjoy the nation we substitute breads more than that made of the highly refined wheat flour. Most of us have found that we have improved in health, have developed a more efficiently operat- ing digestive machinery, and many of us will find that a return to a diet in which white bread figures three times daily will be distasteful. Health experts have for a long time been agreed that the American people were losing a very valuable nutrient in discarding the coarser grains and the outer covering of the wheat. The necessities of war have largely corrected that deficiency in our diet. It is a good result that we | should seek to keep after conditions become such that individual choice and the ability to buy materials constitute the only restrictions upon the diet of those who are in good health, Demobilisation Must Be Slow One does not have to be an inde- pendent thinker to realize the indus- trial necessity for a slow demobiliza- | tion of troops abroad and in the! training camps at home. Any flood- | the market just at the beginning of winter when war activ- | ities are being abandoned and the | peace industries have not been re-established would be a tragedy which we cannot risk. There must be time and for the ab- sorption of the men of the fighting into the life of the released in ing of labor old provision and com- | before forces industrial mercial nation numbers to seek employment that will not be to be found. It is natural enough uals should be impatient for the re- of their men.

There has been no official word concerning i him except that he is reported miss- ing since September 29, when he was | last seen flying far over the | tines in pursuit of a Boche | which succeeded in bringing down. | Since then nothing has been seen or | heard of him.

It took France, for instance, two generations to perfect the republic that exists today with two revolutions. But there is no more democratic, liberty - loving people in the world today than the French. How long it will take Russia to ar- rive at a state of ordered ment one can only guess. govern- Her way may be a more terrible one than that by which France reached her state, but the elements are has present there and we may be sure that Russia has started upon the route to Liber- ty, Equality, Fraternity, and that she will keep going until she arrives, however long it takes. We may expect, too, some uphill traveling for the tangled nations which will constitute the new Slay states and those peoples of the Bal- kans who are not Slavic, and, it may even be, in the new Poland that will arise out of the war there will be unrest and confusion in spite of the high quality of the patriotism, loyal- SE aki Seteeutneet ty, and nationalism of the Polish people. Great changes are not likely to come without great struggles and time is required to readjust the many conflicting interests that arise out of tumult and turmoil. A generation, two generations, per- haps three, will pass over Europe be- fore there is the smooth running machinery of nations firmly rooted. How many will depend mainly upon what educational facilities are pro- vided for the children of today.
