They may profess confidence in ultim-

possibility OF the alternative. And
If they could make peace now. on the
condition suggested by the recent
manifesto of the German professors.
the retention OF the territory they
have occupied the gain to one side
and the loss TO the other would be
very great indeed. Belgium would
would be sadly crippled, Italy would
be imperiled and England would be-
fore many years have TO fight for her
life with little or no help from any
quarter. II would be infamous for
the allies to assent to such bargain
while any hope was left in them.
Those who press for peace at the
present juncture, therefore are play
ing, however unconsciously, the Ger
man game A peace that was only a
truce might be an immediate good,
but II would certainly be future
evil. The object OF Germany in pro
noting the peace propaganda is OBJ
yious enough. II she offered to end
the war and her enemies refused the
offer she would obtain a certain sup
erficial moral advantage. "They ac-
cuse us Of beginning the war the
Germans might say. well, we are
willing to end it. Whose is the re-
sponsibility il It goes on?"
This argument, of course, Ignores
the real question of responsibility
the whole temper of the German peo-
Pile toward their neighbors, the ag-
gressions upon neutrals, the methods
of the policy of 'frightfulness." No
matter what terms we're made, these
curious to find the New York Even
ing Post arguing that if the terms
were generous enough. If Germany
would give up Belgium and Northern
France in return for her lost colonies,
If she would join with Russia in re-
storing the independence Of Poland,
the opinion OF neutral nations would
at once swing to her side If that
were so. then ii could only be said
that the world had sadly confused its
moral standards.
So long as there is such a thing as
either in nations or in
men, the way of the transgressor can
not be smoothed in this fashion. HUI
manity has long account to settle
with Germany. lshe issue is not
merely that of beginning the war or
even that OF the methods of carrying
ii on. Until the German people are
chastened by defeat. until they are
ready to abandon a political creed
which threatens the security of civil
ization, until 1t becomes safe for their
neighbors to live beside them, until
the terror they have created has pass
ed away like horrible nightmare,
there can be no real and substantial
peace Nothing that Germany is yet
willing TO offer could atone for Lou
vain and Rheims, for the savage op-
preston of Belgium, for the sinking
of the LusItania, for the countless out
RACES upon the moral sense of the
world Any pacifist agitation which
ignores these plain considerations is
out of touch with actual
tiles. The verdict of history will not
condemn the allies if they refuse to
be influenced by it.
