LOvEMAN, JOSEPH & LOEB
MEN BetWeen OurseLUes

CT Today the depart
 Il ment store is a hundred times more of a community institu- tion than it's origina- tors ever imagined 1t would grow to be.
 Time was when a man would have preferred being shot at sunrise to entering it's beguil- ing interior. When he did enter it's portals usually with his wife marching firmly in the lead-it was with fear and trembling. The embarrassed lump in his throat made it hard for him to m a k e known his wants. Nor did he breathe freely until he had once more reached the wild, free air outside.
 But today
 Whole divisions of the de- partment store are given over to men. They are run FOR men, BY men, and men flock into them as readily as they enter barber shops.
 And not only the mems di- vision, but all parts of the store-did you ever notice our Store for Men about noon on a pretty Saturday?

Popes plan while we are hesitating to
speak,
If We do not adopt this course and
adopt it speedily we shall greatly weak
en- the popular sentiemnt that is be-
hind our government and the govern
ments of France and Great Britain.
Indecision and delay on the part OF the
Allied governments will breed doubt
confusion and division among the peo'
pie. We shall have q reaction against
a resolute prosecution Of the war, and
ever II we succeed in checking 1t we
shall 90 on with less heart and pur-
pose 1t is not only a cowardly but q
foolish policy to talk on his subject
in ambiguous terms. We must state
with precision the terms that will sat
isfy US I'D allow Germany to take
them or leave them.
In doing this we believe we can
make it plain to the German people
and to Social Democrats Of Germany
that we mediate no conquest Of them;
that their future is bound up in our tri'
umph. A peace that left the Prussian
system and the Pussian autocracy die
tators of Germany and of Central Eu.
rope would be fatal to the political as
piratlons of the German millions who
have been struggling for years for self
government and industrial freedom.
WhaL terms can We make with the dy.
nast!C, aristocratiC and military forces
that have used Germany for their own
purposes? How can we negotiate with
a crook and thug? The German peo-
pie must provide guarantee Of good
faith by divorCing themselves from
these influences, or we must do it for
them.
A peace on the Pope's terms, which
are Germany's terms, would be simply
an armed truce. 1t would be fatal to
all hope of disarmament, it would make
it practically impossible to escape from
the burdens and expenditures of war,
To make the world safe for peace we
must exile with the Car in Siberia the
opponents of system which is based
on war and force,
We must speak without clrcumlocu-
ton, and we should speak without loss
of time.
