That is not a moment for peace. If excuses of this kind for palpab ble crimes can be put forward two and a half years after exposure by the grim facts, is there any guarantee that the same sGbterfuges will not be used to overwhelm any peace which you may enter into?
 The note and speech proves that they have not yet learned the alpha bet of respect for the rights of others
 Reparation Vita!
 Without reparation peace is i'm possible Are all these outrages against humanity on land and sea to be liquidated by a few pious phrases about humanity? Germany leaves us to exact the damage for all future vio- lence committed after the war We must exact it now. so as not to leave such a grim inheritance to our chill dren.
 Much as we all long for peace, deply as we are mortified with war. this note and speech, which heralded it do not afford us much encourage ment to hope for an honorable and lasting peace.
 What hope is given in the speech that the root and cause of this great bitterness, the arrogant spirit of the | Prussian military caste will not be as dominant as ever if we patch up peace now? The very speech in which these peace suggestions are made resouIds to the boast of Prus- sian military triumph. It is a long paean over the victory of von Hinden- burg.
 We must keep a steadfast eye up- on the purpose for which we entered the war; otherwise the great sacrific- es we have been making will be in vain. The German note states that it was for the defense of their existenca and the freedAm of national develop ment that the central powers were constrained to take up arms. Such phrases are intended to delude the Ger an nation into supporting the de- signs Of the PTussiar military caste, who ever wished to put an end to their national existence or free devel- opment. We welcomed their develop ment so long as it was on the paths of peace.

 'She got thoroughly on the nerves of Europe ss that there was no peace near where she dwelt. It is difficult to those who are fortunate enough to live thousands of miles away, to un- derstand what il has meant to those who live near.
