MR.. LANSING KNOWS NOW .

Secretary Lansing, in his Madison
Barracks speech, said:
The evil character of the German
gvernment is laid before the world.
We now know that that government is
inspired with ambitions which menace
human liberty, and that to gain its end
it does not hesitate to break faith, to
violate the most sacred rights, or to
rretrate intolerable acts of inhuman-
lity.
ut needed but the words reported
have been uttered by the German
chancellor to complete the picture of
the character of his government when
he announced that the only reason
why the intensified submarine cam
paign was delayed until February last
was that sufficient submarines could
not be built before that time to make
the attacks on commerce efficient. Do
you realize that this means, if it means
anything, that the promises to refrain
from brutal submarine warfare, which
Germany had made to the United States
were never intended to be kept, that
they were only made in order to gain
time in which to build more submar-
ines, and that when the time came to-
act, the German promises were unhesi-
tatingly torn to pieces like other
scraps Of paper?"
1t is this disclosure of the character
of the imperial German government
which is the underlying cause of our
entry into the war"
That is all true. But it is truth
which Secretary Lansing and the ad-
ministration of which he is a part were
50 tardy in acknowledging that their
patience became a world wonder. What
Secretary Lansing realizes; from the
German chancellor's confession-that
the delay in Germany's resumption of
barbaric U-boat warfare was for the
purpose of building a sufficient number
Of submarines-was apparent long be-
fore Germany openly proclaimed that
she intended to break her word and re.
turn to this warfare, and in the days
when Washington was relying on Ger
many's good faith and pluming itself
on its bloodless victory over the Kaiser
piracy the Courier Journal time and
again warned it that Germany did not
intend to keep her word and had only
given it for the purpose which Chan
.cellor Nichaelis now confesses.
Mr. Lansing at last understands the
character OF the government against
which we have taken up arms and it is
no longer necessary for it to confess
/ its turpitude before he will believe that
the devil is really black.-Louisville
Courier journal.

1t is rather amusing to notice the
manner in which several of the state
papers are taking up the cudgel in be-
half of Hoke Smith, while at the same
time they belabor Hardwick for his
o1structionist tactics, The only off
ference between the senior and the
junior senator is that Hoke tries to
cover up his tracks by two-faced deal
ings which would put even Janus to
shame, while Thomas Wilhelm makes
no attempt to hide his antipathy for
anything and everything the leaders
0 the nation propose in time OF war.
