satraps Of the Kaiser.
In plain Engllsh--llke his master, Hndenburg fed the
people with lies. OF the bright particular
gems:
I'VE. too desire what the Pope desires, namely the
Termination OF the war which forced upon
'presdent Wilson's note was insult to the German
people"
Let continue TO be victorious and hold peace"
An American is bound to wonder how long the Ger
mans can be fed such pap led to go on making
rnce blood and treasure TO maintain their masters in
the power. The fiction that the forced
upon Germany must long ago have been proved lie
even to the all-belevng and Doodle Germans.
Whether they think Of Germany victorious IS
predetermined. They were promised England would be
brought to her knees in few months by the subma-
rine war They promised that the submarines
would make It impossible for America TO do her share in
the war They told that the German lines In France
and Flanders were mpregnabe.
Finally to spur up their waning will-to-war Germans
are avoy told by Hlndenburg that the Presidents note
an insult TO the German people The President made
distinction between the German military clique and
the German people. He plainly said this country would
enter into peace negotiations with a Germany run
by the present bunch Of liars and treaty-breakers

M RApGAINING ABOUT BELGIUM.

~.,uEN a Black Hand gang succeeds in kidnapping
w victim It Immediately opens negotiations on the
basis of payment for restoring the lost boy TO MS
family. .
When an embezzler is down. he usually tries 10
bargain for his liberty by offering to return part OF
the stolen goods.
Justice recognizes no such deals. To let the thief
go is compounding a felony and crime in ITSELF TO
pay ransom ia kldnappers is against all public ponoy
and only where the agonlzod relatives succeed IN eVau
ing the onicers Of the law is 1t done.
When Germany attempts to bargain for peace by oner-
ing to restore Belgium in whole or in part-usuany
in part-she is playing the Black Hand role.
There Will be no bargaining with Germany about Bel
GUM "Go-Get out" the only terms Germany must
get out nrs before any other bargaining begins. Ger
man colonies German occupation Of northern France
or Poland are entirely different questions.
The occupation Of the territory OF declared enemy
is different thing from the wanton seizure OF the lands
and goods Of peaceful neutral whose neutrality was
guaranteed by the aggressor.
The supreme Of this war-whether Justice snail
prevail or crime be condoned-rests upon Belgium.
II the world consents to bargaining about Belgium II
admits that crime be made the subject OF business
negotiations and that crime be profitable
Such bargaining will whtewash Germany ana per-
suade her to try the same thing again.

that the loan Will be oversubscrioed

Of us with but few dollars to spare

Yet IL is the $50 subscriber and the
