Washington. - The United States
government, it is stated, will take no
notice of the latest German peace eff
fort, issued in the form Of an inter
view by Chancellor Michaelis, blaming
the allies for the continuation of the
war. Secretary Lansing's speech, al
though delivered before the Michaelis
interview was published, is taken as
complete answer in stating that
peace can come only when the united
force of the worlds democracies has
overthrown the German military sys-

Is made safe for democracy, when

No nation of people will be fit

that time comes. But it has not yet

autocracy which they have been

When will they arise in their might

liberty triumphs over its archenemy.
