LOOKING TOWARDS PEACE.
TIIE SIGNAL • IGODERICH ONTARIO
• Peace has not yet been reached. but
'events are marching to the desired goal.
„Germany's reply to President Wilson's
note of last week Sas a rt iteration of the
acceptance of the President's terms as
set forth in certain of his speeches, and a
ta'atement that the Chancellor. in his
peace overtures. "speaks in the name of
. tie German Government and of the Ger-
. man people.'
The President further reply was
. prompt and clearc• and may be sum-
marized as follows:
(1) If an armistice granted. the
conditions of such armlet' must be left
' to the judgment of the mi • y advisers
of the Allied Governments.
• (21' No armistice will be g nted so
long as the armed t forces of many
continue the illegal aild Unhuman . -time
in which they still persist: particularly he
sinking of passenger ships at sea, the
• struction and looting of citiesand villages.
and acts of inhumanity towards the people
of the invaded portions of France and
Belgium.
(3) Germany must rid itself of the
arbitrary Government which of its own
volition is able to disturb the peace of
the world.
The last clause means that the Kaiser
must either be dethroned or stripped of
his power. and is a distinct invitation to
the people of Germany to cast out the
Hohenzollern and the war lords who have
brought their country to such a pass.
It may be several day s before Germany
will indicate the nature of her response to
President Wilson's message. and in the
meantime the Allied armies in France and
Belgium are continuing their victorious
advance and are clearing Targe tracts of
' country of the invaders. At the same
time signs are not wanting that the mili-
tary caste is losing its hold upon Germany
and events of tremendous tmp r: may be
brewing.
EDI TORIAL NOTES.
What a change three short months have
made in the aar situation.
President Wilson makes a very satis-
factory spokesman for the Allied Govern-
ments.
Don't worry about the influenza. and.
on the other hand. do not regard it lightly
if it comes your waw.
The Belgians have now joined in the
merry chase and are hustling the Huns
from the soil of their lung -invaded country.
The school teachers of West Huron
were in session in Goderich Is -t week. and
for a few days the toen had quite an in-
tellectual uplift.
Says the Toronto Star: President
\Vileon has improved more as a writer
during the past two years than any liter-
ary man we know.
Uncle Sam's answer to the German
peace note is the statement that 230.000
fresh troops each month will cross the
ocean to fight the Hun.
A factor in the problem of unempley.
ment after the war will he the county
road systems. which will require a con-
siderable amount of labor. This will help
to ease off a situation that at the best
wilt present many difficulties,.
The Department of Labor has at length
announced its intention to look into the
matter of the greatly increased cost of
certain commodities. By the time the
war is over and prices begin to .climb
down of their own accord the Depart-
ment may be ready to issue a report on
the subject of war profiteering.
A conflict is threatened between or-
ganized labor and the Ottawa Govern
ment over an order•in-_ouncil which has
been issued prohibiting strikes and lock•
outs during the remainder of the war
period. Labor claims that "the right to
strike is the foundation of industnal
liberty." and trades union officials declare
that the prohibition will create resent-
ment and will end in failure. The de-
velopment of peace prospects. however,
may make such radical changes in labor
conditions that neither employers nor em-
ployees will find it to their advantage to
bring on a conflict.

LAURIER—THE MAN OF VISION.
Fro.. TA. Si Morn Anon.
The one pre-eminent statesman and
man of vision in Canada today is Wilfrid
Laurier. A man is to be judged
and estimated not only by what he has
accomplished but also by what he has
stood for, even if it be unrealized. For
years he had advocated closer trade re-
lations with the United States, and when
the time came. in 1911. he stood by this
four-square. He failed. however. through

BUY CONTINUED PROSPERITY'
Before our last Victory loan financial
exp -rte were dubious as to the outlook for
Canada. She could not borrow ahreed.
It was necessary that she hive a Targe
availaole capital to finance credits for
British and foreign war orderre. Canada
was thrown on her own resources and
appealed to her citizens.
The remarkable oversubscription of
the 1917 Victory Lon completely changed
the uncertain outlook which orevailed. It
gave a new impetus to agriculture.
commerce and prosperity. It invigorated
our efforts in the war. it allowed our
Provincial Governments. municipal and
other borrowers to finance their require-
ments at home. In short. it gave another
lease of life ro the activities of the
Dominion.
The Victory loan of 1918 will accomp-
lish the same purposes. UPON THE
