will be moderate, although the fall
OF Bucharest has put an end to the
Allied hope of a peace based on the
status existing before the war.
In vain the talented scribes of the

But their hour will come. too,
sooner or later The day will come,
and ii is not far, when the people will
awake and drug those irresponsible
scandal mongers over the fields sown
with dragons teeth
We, IN the United States, are not
free from these creatures of dscord

our press is controlled by the same
interests which controlled the press
OF England and of France. In fact,
our newspaper Offices are filed with
the agents of these interests. They

Bismarck once said that the gov

add that the people have to pay for
them. France and England today
are furnishing living example for
that. The people of England, and
France today are paying for the
panes stoned by their press, for 1t Is
the irresponsible press OF these coun-
tries which are indirectly responsible
FOR the war. For years and years
they have melted public opinion
against Germany, because tho men
who control that press saw their in
terests threatened by the commercial
development of Germany, aud it was
for that reason and no other that the
French and English were led to the
slaughter bank. The people of France
arc peaceful, they did not want war,

Germany viii make the Allies pay
tenfold. The grain of Rumania ban
ishcs forever the gaunt specter Of
starvation from the soil of the Cen
trail Powers. Germany can laugh at

Already England has decreed two

ian journalist phrases it., "wait for

Rumania will flood the hungry oil

One month ago the daily toll Of sub

tons. Today it is 10000 tons. What
will 1t be tomorrow? The course Of
Great Britain's merchant marine is
in a perpendicular downward.
The people of France are ex-
hausted. Are they willing to bleed
to death? Germany is not exhausted.
The German people, speaking with
the inspired accents of Bethmann-

But they viii not accept an English
peace even IL, like the pirate bark
Baralong, il should come to them
dressed in an American flag. Ger
many has suffered too much to accept
q peace that would not repay her for
every drop of blood; a peace that
failed to insure to her freedom on

Not until the people of the
Quadruple Entente realize that they

greed and public dishonesty not un-

be war-.war to the knife.
