The editor, in this article, highlights international political affairs. A humiliating armistice signed on the enemy's terms, the Kaiser fallen, the throne lost to the Hohenzollern, Germany crashing to pieces in violent revolution-thus ends the war which has convulsed the world. For the political disaster which overtook his party on Election Day U.S. President Woodrow Wilson has only himself to blame. Deep chagrin and humiliation should be his, for the blow to liberalism is grave indeed. The Russian news published by even the best American papers has been, from the beginning of the revolution, of the most meager prescription; it has not at any time compared favorably in either content or scope with the news regularly published by the English press and even by the British Government; and for the past three or four weeks there has been scarcely any important news at all.
