CURRENT COMMENT
Expressed with Precision.

The Boston Herald: eve believe the
president has expressed, with admirable
precision, the attitude of the American
people in the present crisis; they want
peace, but they want II on a basis that
affords adequate assurance of its last
ing. We believe the war is nearing an
end-an end which will secure the fii-
ture peace of the world To yield on the
edge of such an accomplishment would
be a prodigious mistake, There is some
thing in knowing when to stop. Moth
ing could be more tragic than to give
up the fight on the edge of momentous
triumph. And in saying this, we feel that
we have no eye singled to the advantage
of our own country, or even of the allied
group, but rather the moral health of our
common humanity as it nesrs one Of the
great turnstiles.

German Rulers Not to Be Trusted.

New York Sum In his answer to the
pope, President Wilson has hit the nail
on the head; No peace can be made
which allows the German government TO
start anew; which leaves that part of
Europe already crippled to hobble on un-
aided; which condones the wrong and
only hopes to avoid it in the future.
What Mr. Wilson said in his first dec
laration of war; that we fight not the
German people, but the rulers of the
German people, he makes still palmer
now.
Could there be a sharper Indictment
than this; I'VE cannot take the word
of the present rulers of Germany unless
supported by : the will of the Ger
man people Themselves?
