SAYS GERMAN Peace
IS worse Than WAR
DR.. Randolph Declares
Germany Must Agree TO
Unconditional Surrender
SAYS AMERICA
is FULL OF SPIES

Declaring that an inconclusive peace
with Germany. such as is suggested by
pacinsis would be a treaty with the
Devil and that Americans must rally
to the support Of President WILSON, in
enforcing his demands for an uncondi-
tional surrender. Dr.. Randolph. in a
wartime sermon at Grace NJ. r. Church
last night, aroused his audience TO a
fuller realization of the contest IN
which this country Is engaged. Dr.
Randolph reflected some of the high
thoughts expressed by President VII
son in his recent message demanding
war upon Austria.
In his opening sentence Or. Randolph
strongly arraigned the pacifsts TOT
/ their blindness IN prolonging the war
"The pacinsm Of some men comes TO
/ this" he said. add God and the Devil
/ together and divide by tive, and you
have their neutral position. For any
man 10 be a neutral now Is for him to
be guilty OF treason Germany Is the
criminal among the nations. She has
no rights IN the councils Of civilized
states.
"There should be heard only one
word 10 every peace proposal from Inc
potsdam gang and that is uncondition'
al surrender. Today our land is honey
combed with German spies. There ar'
100000 men in the United states OF
military age belonging to Germany
Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey.
Germany, with more than the ski
OF a Mephistophees, has spread owe
the entire world a great spiders wei
Of intrigue and treachery. Her effor
is to break down the morale Of th'
civilian population and thus destro'
the nerves and the sinevs Of war.
Germany's peace plot is worse b.
far than her war plot II means th
enslavement Of the Allies. The cessa
tion Of this war short Of complete de
feat OF the Teutonic military machine
means an abjeot capitulation to Ber
lin"
ut means that all the millions o
men slain and the billions Of none,
expended have been in vain. Thes
noble young martyrs have been rob
bed Of their victory.
IAN inconclusive peace such as Lor
Lansdowne and other paciilsts propos
with Germany unbroken and unrepeni
, ant, would be a compact with Hell an
a treaty with the Devil. What Is ou
one and only defence against such
calamity9 It is the stern and immov'
able will to win.
