STOP ATROCITIES FIRST An armistice, it is true, might come first and the -details of the downfall of the German autocratic government might be arranged later. But this is what an armistice would entail: First, a stop to the atrocities on land and sea and the systematic destruction and devastation in the wake of the retreating German armies jThen, the disarmament of all the Ger man forces and the deposit of their arms and munitions at points to be chosen by the allied military comman ders.

I stood to ii Pease Of The World Must be Made Secure By the Destruction Of Every Power Guilty Of Such Atrocities THE CALL FOR A SHOW-DOWN , This pronouncement, the President's friends say, fulfills the predictions of those who declared that when he ask ed Prince Maximilian if he merely re presented the military leaders who had been conducting the war, he was lay ing the foundations to show that the new government of Germany is no less autocratic than the others and for a final statement to the German people themselves that nothing but their au tocratic government stands between them and the peace which they so fervently desire. This, the President's friends s4y, has been the whole theory of his diplomacy. FOCH AND THE FINAL ANALYSIS When the President decided to say that if an armistice should be thought of, it could not be considered without imposing terms to guarantee the good faith of Germany and provide for the maintenance of the military suprem acy of the armies of the United States and the entente allies, he undoubtedly knew what the allied war council, act ing on the recommendation of Marshal Foch had decided upon as necessary These now are under- neU the fears of those who predicted I a turning over- oi tne berman neet. j stood to include the occupation ot he would substitute victories at arms In short, it will entail a taking from ,Metz and Strassburg and Coblenz the with defeats at diplomacy. , Germany of everything with which she strategic keystone. might break her word to an armistice, j WHAT MAY BE EXPECTED NEXT AUTOCRASY MUST GO j From that point the United States j The next move in the great interna- No peace with Kaiserim!

He was killed at sea September 30th when 230 men went down on the U. S. Ti conderoga, as announced in Friday's dispatches from the war zone. His ship, having fallen behind its convoy in the submarine zone, because of en gine trouble was attacked by a Hun U-boat and went to the bottom in a short while. As the men endeavored to escape the enemy shot the ' life boats to pieces and sprayed the ship with shrapnel, murdering, all but three of the crew and 17 hostlers who were aboard. The Ticonderoga .was main ly a freighter. Edward - Lee Davis was a son of Mr. and JVIrs. William J. Davis, was twenty-one years old, had been in the Navy since last Jan uary when he volunteered.
