TREACHERY %PERSONIFIED

More disclosures Of German Official perhdy have
been made by Secretary Lansing. We have grown ae-
customed to this publication Of German correspondence.
and those of us who have been inclined to credit the
German government with some measure Of good Earth
are having our, eyes opened. German special pleaders
have thrown around a number Of Germany's acts in the
war. her invasion of Belgium, her submarine warfare,
her attacks on open cities, and other items such a cloud
OF confused rhetoric. that not a few persons have been
mysthed, and have been unable to arrive at conclusions
with any degree of positveness. But the correspondence
which has been given to the public by the state depart
ment without comment or Interpretation sheds such a
clear light on the whole subject of German intrigue that
the German government stands without defense against
the charge of base and deliberate treachery of the most
aggravated sort.
Certain Of our people have fallen into the habit of
saying that we had nothing to fear from Germany, and
that If we had merely adjusted ourselves to the suspen-
sion of what Mr.. LaFollette calls our technical! rights
all would have been well with us. Would it? What
does the correspondence show? Az
It shows that the German government, through its
foreign Office at home and through its diplomatic repre-
ssentatives in this country, was conducting a carefully pre-
pared plan of espionage in the United States; that its
paid agents were all over the country arranging for the
destruction Of American property and interference with
American industry; that during the time when Count
Won Bernstorn was in Washington as the ambassador of
his government to the United States. while the American
government was neutral in name and in fact, while ex-
5pressions of friendship were being exchanged between
the two countries. this same diplomat was actually con-
sducting on behalf Of his government, and with its full
and approval, a diaboical conspiracy against
sthe peace and prosperity of this nation, and that he had
in his pay and under his direction an army Of spies and

But this is not all, nor IL Il the worst. While this
conspiracy was in progress throughout the country the
German government was carefully and methodtcally
working to destroy the very foundations Of American ma
tional life by attacking the integrity Of the American
government. BY means Of secret Vaccinations. and
through the medium Of paid agents, the American con-
gress was to be made the tool Of German diplomacy, the
Instrument Of German ambition.
The world longs for peace. But the only peace that
is tolerable. the only peace that can be considered, is
the peace which has. its basis in mutual confidence and
respect. And the German government has forfeited all
claim on the confidence and respect Of honest men.
There can be nS peace with such a government, for that
government is the personincation Of treachery.

cause is the drouth and third con-
