BERT TAYLOR presents an ad, from a
Chicago paper, presumably:
"Wantcd-Several industrious peo-
pie to distribute moral literature. Will
pay $3.50 for 80 days work"
Sounds like lot OF money, put that
way. sez he.
Now, what we want is word that
'front.' sound so much like a lot of money.
We're tired Of talking billions" Why not
revive the biblical talent and camouflage
the filthy lucre. or at least lump It?
Maybe you can invent a word, dear
reader, that will even back the talent off
the boards. If you can we'll give you a
tiny fraction of it, say a nice crisp bone
or iron man. Go to 1t.

Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1917-08-30

TNHEY read with their eyes shut who
say that the President has rejected the
peace proposal Of Pope Benedict He has
done nothing of the kind. He has, on the
contrary, shown how that proposal can
be translated into an instrument for the
achievement of peace. He has indicated
how the German peoples can get to
conference table and sit there in good
faith. Moreover. the first real move
ment toward peace will be found later,
we believe, to have dated from yesterday,
for it was yesterday that the gates for
reconciliation were opened and the way
out of war shown to the people of the
earth. I'VE must await some new evil
dence of the purposes of the great peo-
pies of the Central Powers" There is
the invitation, open and above board,
clear and emphatic. The peoples of the
Central Powers will accept it sooner or
later probably sooner than most people
imagine.

nation and the race from the face of
the earth is tho aim of the Allies. that
there Is no hope for Germans except to
fight on and on, to the last man and to
the last woman, until every resource
is exhausted and naught is left to save.
The President has knocked that idea into
a cooked hat.
The note sounded by the President
in this latest communication Is, we
believe. by all odds the most momen-
tous heard since peace discussions came
into vogue. II is true that the dynamic
force of his previous utterances has
changed the current OF human thought
and even changed the essential purposes
Of the war, defeating German propaganda
in Russia reinvigorating the revolution
and, even in Germany itself, subtly and
irresistibly undermining the mllitaristic
state OF mind, but not before has there
been so sure hope, so absolute an as
surance of safety for Germans in world
safe for democracy, as is now exposed to
view. 1t riddles the Kaiser's carefully
nurtured plea that Germans must fight
or sink, 1t shows to Austria a way out
and It puts this mighty arbiter Of
national destinies definitely and surely
in line as the champion OF all peoples,
foes as well as friends, proposing a sure
and durable peace, based on the very
principles OF civilization itself.
