NOME, ALASKA, MARCH 24, 1917.
Germany's answer to President Wil
son's note eompetely evades the issue.
The President requested from each
■ it the belligerents a definite state
ment or «ho objects of the war and
the terms upon which it would con
sider peace. Germany replies by pro
posing an imediate conference "of dele
gates of the belligerents slates at a
neutral place,” knowing that this pro
posal had already been emphatically
i ejected by the Entente Governments.
The President did not ask for a
iieace conference. He recognized the
fact that a conference at this time was
Impossible, but expressed *he hope
that " an interchange of views would
clear the way at least for a confer
ence." Germany refuses all inter
change of views, and returns to the
text of he note of Dec. 12, which con
tained the proposal of the Teutonic
jiowers "to enter forthwith into peace
negotiation."
The British Government through its
Prime Minister, has already made its
response to this suggestion. Mr.
IJoyd Gaorge in his speech to the
House of Commons declared emphati
cally that—
"To enter, on the invitation of Ger- j
many, proclaiming herself victorious, |
without any knoweldge of the proposals
she intends to make into a conference,
is putting our heads into a noose with
tho rope end in the hands of the Ger
mans.”
let in reply to the President re
quest for terms, the German Govern
ment goes no further than to renew
a proposal which it knows has been
rejected. In renewing this proposal it
formally excludes all neutral Govern
ments from such a conference and
inferentially asserts that they are not
concerned with the kind of peace that
the billegerents may choose to make.
President Wilson in his note of Dec.
is spoke us "the representative of a
neutral Nation whose interests have
been most seriously affctced by the war
and whose concern for its early con
clusion arises out of a manifest ne
cessity to determine how to safe
guard those interests if the war Is to
continue." Germany's reply makes
certain a continuance of the war.
The United States most assuredly will
not ask Great Britlan nml France to
enter a peace conference beaten and
blindfolded, to learn In the dark what
lerms of peace a Germany "conscious
of victory” is prepared to impose.
Nor can it ask friendly Governments
to give serious consideration to a pro
posal which they have already form

] ally rejected but which is renewed in
[ the disguise of an answer to President
Wilson’s request for terms.
In the light of Germany's reply tu
•hi President, it is impossible to be
lieve that lie tv was either honesty oi
sincerity of purpose hack of the orig
inal peace proposals. It is plain
enough now that he Presidents action
stripped off the German mask and that
'.ho whole proceeding was a game in
vented in Berlin for the propitiation
of neutrals for the further bedevilment
of German public opinion.
Had Germany’s peace overtures
been made in good faith, the Imperial
Government would have met the Pres
ident half-way with a statement of
terms that the allies could not have
rejeced out of hand but to which they
would have been compelled to give
consideration. That would have
opened the door to further negotiation
and eventually to conference. In
stead, the German Foreign Oltice lias
has abruptly closed the door and left
no basis for further discussions.
So far as the l nitea Stales is con
cerned, the hands of the clock have
been turned back ta J>ee. 18, and the
Government at Washington is again
confronted with "a manifest necessity
to determine how to safeguard those
interests if the war is to continue."
The Public Health Set vice, which
has apparently undertaken to subject
American nervousm ss to federal reg
ulation, issues the following bulletin
against worry as a cause of neuras
thenia and 'kindred disuses of the
i
strenuous life:
Mo far as is known, no bird ever
tried to build more nests than its
neighbor; no fox ever fretted because
he had only one hole in which to hide;
no squirrel ever do d of anxiety lest
he should not lay by enough nuts
for two winters instead of for one,
and no dog ever lost any sleep over
the fact that he did not have enough
bones laid askh for his declining
years.
Dogs worry more or less about the
moon, and the bulletin takes no note I
of insomnia in cats; ;but generally j
speaking, it aptly contracts the con-!
ditions of animal and human life.
Dogs show no concern as to where
the next bone is coming from, and it
is precisely because man does worry
over that fact, because lie wants to
assure himself a regular food supply
and keep a permanent roof over his
head, that lie has advanced where
the fox and the dog nnd the squirrel
have not.
Worry enabled man to emerge from
his cave dwelling and worry, different
only in degree but not in kind, estab
lished him in steam-heated liats and
luxurious mansions. If tie ever wants
to return to conditions of life undro
which he will be brother to the birds
and boon companion with the dog ha
r---—
j ha* only to give up worrying and rel;
I on Providence or chance or a fortui
! tou* concourse of circumstances ti
1 provide his home and liis lodging
j place.
No doubt it would be,- better fo
! many Americans if llie govcrnmen
could benevolently regulate worry a:
it regulates monopoly lint for th<
mass of mankind earo and frettlnj
and nnxlety are the price they pay
for comfort anil progress and lift
itself, and to deny them this cxerclsi
of their nervous energy would be ti
1 reduce them to the brute.
