The Dog And The Bone

It was neat retort that the Kaiser
made to the war-purpose statement
of the French premier.
$50. NJ. Painleve wants Alsacs-
Lorraine, does he? Good! Let him
come and take it,
And 1t was for once, an honest
statement. It swept aside all the
elaborate pretense and humbug
that have characterized the. peace
talk Of German diplomats all these
months. 1t represents the real war
policy of Germany-the policy that
she started with, and maintains now,
and will act on to the end.
"These are, indeed, the peace terms
of Germany" remarks the New
York Times, mot only In relation to
Alsace Lorraine, but in relation to
Belgium, to Poland and to every
thing else. The peace terms of Ger
many are:
1--WE shall hold what we have got,
until you can take 1t away from u.s."
We might as we'll recognize the
truth Of this. There will be no easy
peace with Germany. There will be
no spirit Of Cancellation on her part,
no readiness to accommodate herself
to the wishes Of her enemies for the
making Of better world. She will
grant no concession of territory, or
disarmament, of reparation, of hos
tage for good behavior, until it 10
wrested from her by main strength.
She will hang to every piece of
stolen property and every bit Of
usurped authority or privilege a. .
dog ciings to bone. She will have
to be driven back step by step, and
defeated overwhelmingly before she
yields. We must reconcile ourselves
to hard fighting. = Fort Collins
