power to mnko lawn for tho relief of

whoso boundaries nro coterminous with

If tho Constitution stands In tho way of
their unique trcatmont by tho (loneral

wo shall know whero wo eland. Then

NEAIHNG A SHOWDOWN
Tpoit tho moment tho International
ponco-or-wnr brainstorm has nnr
rowed to a battlo of wits botweon Mr.
Wilson nnd tho Kaiser. Unfair as it
may havo been to Mr. WIlson'H diction
to Interpret his phrase to tho effect that
statesmen on both uldos professed tho
uamo humanitarian motives as if ho had
said both sldos really had tlio same
motives, Oormany has promptly snatched
at this Interpretation, which so maddened
England. Her answor to Mr. Wilson
Is advanced in tho tiamo spirit as it
would havo been if Mr. Wilson had con.
doned tho crlmo ngnlnst Belgium, "Cor
talnly," Germany replies to America, "wo
havo sinned no moro than tho Allies.
Wo deslro an 'Immediate meeting of dele
gates of tho belligerent States at n
neutral place' " Sho Is ready to sond a
corps of delegates to Tho Ilaguo or Ports
mouth, N. II., at a momont's notice.
Superficially and at llrst glance tho
worst suspicions of tho frnntta clement
In Cngllsh opinion havo boon confirmed.
Tho stago Is sot for a German-American
naco move. But this frantlo olomont
has not prevailed til London. Sober Cng
llsh opinion now looks upon Mr. Wilson's
"putting of Germany on a moral par with
tho Allies" as a challenge to hor to make
good her high professions of Justice
toward Uio small nations. Germany, mad
for ewlft peace at "tho psychological mo
ment." would rush to the council table
Without washing hor hands of the Belgian
crime. Is Mr. Wilsorunow to encourage
her to sit nt what would.be for Germany
a festive board without attending to that
formality?
Mr. Wilson's noto said: "The President
is not proposing peace; ho is not even
offering mediation." Ho is thus in ex
cellent position to Bay to Germany; "Not
eo fasti Tho specific terms upon which
you would mako pco,ce are all wo want to
know." Such terms aro said to have been
handed by Germany In a sealed packet
to neutral nations to bo forwarded to tho
Entente only if asked for, and, if not
asked for, returned unopenod. If true,
this proposition la tho exact opposite of
what is desired by the spirit of the Amer
ican noto. There Is no, more reason to
try to keep the object in continued right
ing a secret than it would be to try to
keep, the invasion of Belgium secret, or
England's desire for the German colonies,
or France's demand for Alsace-Lorraine
secret.) Most of tho terms are indicated
on the map, and the thing to do is either
to avow them or repudiate them.
Technically, we still await England's
answer to our note as well as Germany's,
Practically, we got Bngland'u answer be
fore our note was sent, In England's in
terpretation of Lloyd George's speech as
a war-to-a-flnlsh speech. Practically, Mr.
Wilson's position la now that of trying
to force the Kaiser either to come out
publicly with a war-to-a-finlsh speech or
to make a proposal of speclflo terms. If
no tenua are forthcoming, wo must Imply
that Germany, too, la for war to ft finish.
The neutral nations wm not m in the
dark then about the future. They twill
know, if (he present peace talk Is stopped.

Of course, tho train is lato sometimes

Masurian Lakes
II. W. -The Masurian Iko retrlon lies In
Mueuronland, a eently rotllng; region of East
Pruisla marked by hundreds, of lakes of
various sizes connected by channels and a
canal system more than 100 miles lone-.
Roughly, the area of the district Is covered
by the circles of Seneburir, Oltftiba, Oa
terodo, Allenateln, Roessei, Ortelaburg-, I.yck
(capital), Loet-en and Neldenburgr, The
lakes are of different shapes, some being;
rounded and others basins,, with numerous
radiating branches ; others' are lone, nar
row channels widening Into pools at In
tervals like beads on a string. The largest,
Mauer and Splrdlns:, cover forty squaro
miles. Tho lakes form a very effective
barrier for Qermany against llusala, as
was evidenced several times during; the
early part of the war, when tha Ituaalan
armies were trapped there or forced to re
treat This bore out the wise opposition
of Von lilndeuburg and others against
draining the lakes, a project considered by
the aerman Government several years ago.
Japanese Policy
M. P. II. It was only recently that

deavor to formulate a definite foreign and
military policy, and pledge ourselves to
work together la carrying it out. regard
less of the rise or fall of the parties In In
