German Peace

"a peace speech without any peace in 1t"
is the way a contemporary describes the
address of the new German chancellor, DR..
Michaelis. SHAN peace" is Lloyd Georges
term. In brief, the German war party has
not yet reached the point Of contemplating
peace without victory. Peace to the Prus-
sian means the tranquility of complete con-
quest.
Peace with the world chained and shackled
to the German wargod; peace with the
crushing process completed in Belgium and
France annihilated; peace, IL you please,
with the United States of America a vassal
of the German kaiser and using the seas
at the p~uissant pleasure of the emperor.
This peace, however, was to have been
achieved in a few weeks. 1t has been some
few years since the announcement was
made. Even the most optimistic pro-Prus-
sian can hardly contend with gravity that
the Wilhelmstrasse process of Welding the
peace letters on the world has made any
considerable progress since the battle of the
Marine.

far since the days Of Xerxes Or Ma.

Wants to Get Rid of

(From the Publicity Bureau, Woman's Aux.

Much dissatisfaction Is felt by the women
Of New Mexico with the site chosen for
the National guard cantonment of prob
ably 10000 men at Deming, as, under the
law, it is not necessary to have more than
a half-mile dry zone around the camp at

OF course they recognize that business
interests are involved, and they recognize
also, that If the law is enforced, no sol
der will be able to buy intoxicating liquors
anyhow; but since the law admits the adj
visibility of removing temptation, why, they
ask, must the camp be situated where the
fve-mile zone can not apply? With all New
Mexico to choose from, is there no other
site available, where other conditions would
be equal and where the saloons are not next

What Crimes!

The browning absurdity of the whole
great war in which the world is now en-
gagged is the ludicrous hypocrisy Of Prus-
sianism. Germany is fighting for "the free
dom of the seas;" Austria "for the rights
of her people to decide their own internal
destinies," and we doubt not that Turkey
is animated solely by a desire to see the
Sacred Flame OF Liberty burn unquenched.
In this connection the following from the
Sierra Free Press is apt:
1T was Madame Roland who said: 'Oh,
Liberty, what crimes are committed in thy
name!' And voltaire who remarked: All
men love Liberty, but seem bent on destroy
ing her. And Burke spoke the truth when
he cried: The people never give up their
liberty except under some Illusion"

tuberculosis in France
(From the Medical Record.)

For many years tuberculosis has been
more prevalent in France than in perhaps
any Of the European countries, and the con-
ditions of trench warfare have been re-
sponsible for a vast increase among French
soldiers. At the beginning of the wal the
French were compelled to defend them
selves without much aid from the British
and Belgians, and in consequence could
not be very particular as to the physical
fitness of their men. tuberculosis is there
fore rife among French soldiers, and al
though the authorities are doing their best
to repair the results Of the early neglect
of careful examination, and are removing
all tuberculous soldiers as quickly as pos
sible, the problem of tuberculosis in that
country is extremely serious. 1t has been
announced recently that the Rockefeller
Foundation, with the approval Of the
French government and in cooperation
with the American Red Cross, is about to
take steps with a view to curbing the
spread of disease in France. 1t IS under
stood that the work will be carried on UNI
der the supervision of a French central
committee and local committees which are
being organized throughout provincial
France. From all points of view the
of the Rockefeller Foundation to
restrict the ravages of tuberculosis in
France is most meritorious. Not only Is It
giving powerful aid to a brave ally, but It
is helping to lessen a danger to which our
own troops will be exposed when they
reach French soil.

The Prussian Peril

The National Security League has issued
la folder with maps showing the gradual
spread Of the Prussian dominion over Erl-
rope during the past few centuries. 1t is a
most graphic presentation OF the growth Of
the Prussian Peril and the urgent need of
exterminating it. The following conclusions
Iare drawn:
The foregoing maps and texts show how
fer centuries Prussia has been systematic
cally building up an autocratic empire by
aggression and for further aggressions.
Her battle cry in August 1914, was:
"Weltmacht oder Niedergang' (World-do-
minion, or downfall). Thus in her mad pride
she ayowed her purpose to dominate the
world.
BY the war of 1870 against France she
consolidated the South German Confedera-
tion into the German Empire,
Her essential purpose in the present war
is to clinch her present hold on the vast
and continuous domains of Austria-H Hungary
the Balkans and Turkey.
If Prussia can do this she will in reality
have won the war even though she retire
from France, Belgium and Poland and in
demnify them. She will have won because

lion-an increase by the present war equal
to the population of the United States.
Then at her chosen moment again she will
attack, perhaps with new allies, to make
complete in both hemispheres her world
dominion. Her history and her present
announcements both forecast this as her
intent. tHN E
Her present peace talk and ner future
peace talk is and will be solely to, preserve
her present dominion approximately as
shown In the last map.
Tor merica and her allies to make peace
until we have broken forever this domin-
ion which Prussia has won in the present
war would be to bequeath to our children
the certainty ora still greater and more
horrible war followed by letters such as
she is now attempting to rivet on her allies.
Therefore we must carry on this war.
without one thought of peace, until we have
shattered the grip of Prussia OH Austria

time.
