MUST MEET THE REQUIREMENTS

Sir Eric Geddes. head of the Brit ish admiralty. now in this country tells us that the U-boat menace is greater than it ever was" and urges upon this country an increase in the production of destroyers and anti submarine craft. There has been evil dence in the past few weeks that the Germans have been endeavoring in their desperation to bolster up their losses on land by new accomplish ments on the high seas. This has been shown not only by the attacks which have been made upon conveys but by the way which they have gone after every vessel sighted and the disfeEafd which they have been paying to the lives of the crews and passengers aboard the vessels torpsdoed and sheiled.
 That the menace is said to be greater does not mean that the allied naval forces have been weakened or that they have shown any ierting up in their vigilance but that the Huns are doing their utmost to accomplish their purpose and redeem the prom ise made to the German peopfe that the policy of unrestricted submarine warfare would win the war.
 They have been frustrated 50 fai

DON'T LET THE LOAN FAIL.

 The desire that it should be raised should he sufficient 10 bring to the front those who are directly interest," ed in the undertaking. those who can afford 10 hack up the fighting forces even though they are not able to do any actual fighting themselves.
 With larger amount asked for than ever before. with the armies making a most gratifying showing and with the country demanding that the enemy must he brought 10 an unconditional surrender, it is incumbent upon tho people of the country. and that means every one and not chosen few, to provide the funds which are abso- lutely needed today and would still he needed if there was any chance oi an immediate peace.

What sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. If Germany was not ready to accept the word of the French Government when the nations were at peace she cannot be sur prised that France will not accept her word when the nations are at war, especially in the face of the German record of four years of treachery and dishcnor Apart from the surrender of fortresses. England might well de- mand the entire German fleet before she would consent to any armistice, and also the occupation of the German naval bases on the North Sea inciud- ing the island of Heigoland.
 # Germany is ready to accept such drastic terms as these she is in a far more desperate plight than we think, and until she does accept such terms there is naughf to do but carry on. We can well believe that the recent enrolment of 13,000,0o0 men in the United States and the six billion loan have had their effect on the Ger mans in determining them to get out from under as besa they can. This effect will be lost in large degree un- less drafting and subscription go for ward undiminished. The surest way to get our men and our money back again is to double our bid for victory

Views of the VigiIantes TIE soR.slsTER APPEAL.
By Gertrude Atherton

In speaking of the Hun peace moves Gertrude Atherton said re- gently:
 "A, great danger turks in the belief that we are on to Germany and all her tricks; in the belief that the t.ov- ernment has the situation so well in hand it is not necessary for tine indin- idual to bother; in that pride (which oft goeth before a fall) that scare stories, disseminated by German agents, are easily recognized, and a1e but to laugh.
 When it comes to brains the Ger mans are outclassed, even in this young nation Moreover, we have LOW had four years Illuminating experi ence with the Germans; and we know that they are liars. The more they protest, the less we believe them, she more keerly we Search for the nigger in the woodpile. But while we have brains to match the best, we also are very soft and sentimental people.
 Ruthless while we have great war to win we are liable to violent reac- tion the moment We are positive that German is broken and can ,io DO more than put up a long and stubborn de- fense. .
 The Pacifists are still with us And by the Pacifsts I do not mean societies existing under that name. they shot their bolt and are frighten- ed into quieseence besides. mean thousands of secret pro- Germans who are waiting their moment to work upon our syn1pathies and insure the l ultimate triumph of their otherwise 1 doomed fatherland.
 l Tn the City of New York there is i a powerful group of women of Ger man extraction who are now-to use a sadly oyerworked word-camoll- l fagging themselves magnifcantly, and
 it may safely be said there are eorre- spending groups in every city of any
 size in the union. These women con- i tribute heavily (and with the utmost i publicity to war relief organizations.
 Before we went into the war, they
 were equally blatant pro Germans, Of, seeing that didn't work, gave tfous- ands to the cause of paci1sm-in i other words, to keep the United States from settling the fate of Germany. l Now their new pose wins them

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The only answer which the Huns are getting from the men at the front is harder fighting.
 The man on the corner says: These are the days when a quirter should not dare show his head.
 There is no wonder that 1t Is re- ported Prince Maximilian will resign the chancellorship. His effort has failed.
 Of course Hindenburg is having great opportunity. for handing the kaiser that aggravsting phrase q told you so." t
 # Germany feels that it must have colonies 1t should have thought about that little thing before it insisted that there must be a war.
 The next thing to be expected in the logical order of things is the uncou- ditional surrender of Turkey The Turk is weary after hard trot.
 Now that the peace nots of Prince Max has been answered it is time to get busy and emphasize the answer by putting the loan over the top. Now that Brishane has purchased another paper perhaps he will fore stall trouble by announcing who his packers are before someone else does.
 When # is declared that the kaiser has no intention of ahdicating, it is possible that he hasn't read as yet the reply to Prince Max's peace ap- real.
 The way the allies are pushing up through Serbia there can be little wonder that Austria Hungary Is showing signs Of increased nervous ness.
 If by any chance the armies along the other fronts should tire, there are the Italians who can be expected to make things lively once they start again.
 It would be running true to form If those who are shouting the loudest against the atrocities of the enemy should prove to be the Liberty bond | slackers.
 The time for the raisiny of the fourth Liberty loan is passing rapidly and the goal is still some distance away It is time for everyone to gel back of 1t and lend.
 Under government control letter carriers are to deliver night teie. grams. Experience with the pcsta service will not make the country wildly enthusiastic about this.
 h the Turk wants Hesce he better walk in the direction of General Al le1by with both hands in the air ant keep them there until he satisfies tht British commander that he makes { | complete surrender.

A HAsELEss CLAIM.

It is quite in keeping with German methods that Foreign Secretary Solf of tho imperial government should put the blame for all the devastation which the 1'eutons are causing in northern France and Belgium upon the allies. Germany has about gone around the entente circle in placing the blame for the war; 1t has charged that 1t was driven into unrestricted submarine warfare by the allies and that the reason 1t has been treating the neutral nations so unjustly is that tlte allies drove it to such action. In fact that there isn't anything which Germany fas done in the way of ex- oesses and atrocities which it has not attributed to the nations which are lighting it. That Is the way the i'm perial government has O. trying to wash its hands ot all guilt and t7 make the people believe that all its acts are for self protection.
 Such may go in Germany but ii fools no one else. Germany may swallow this latest plea of Dr. Solt but elsewhere 1t will be regarded as Cne or the most futile claims that could have been set forth. There is no question but what the aE;es ara forcing the Germans to give ground but that is not making them apply the toreh indiscriminateiy to loot and de- stroy churches, museums and librar les, to ruin homes and to enslave, tor ture and starve the non comOatant population. Neither is it forcing them to take the lives of passenger on merchant ships by not giving then chance to get away or by smelling or trying 10 drown them after the! have taken to small boats,
 Dr. Solf may think that he is fool ing the people by such declarations a: he has made but he will find that ht is believed by only very small DOT tion of them

and there is no reason to Believe but what the allies viii continue to dis count their efforts. To do So. how ever. means that they have f5t 6fily got to kesb the great fieet of subma- rifis fighters going but that they have got t5 augment it.

SETTING GERMANY STRAIGHT.

It is not only possible but entirely probable that the war lords of Ger many figured along with the kaiser that through a shifting about of some of the government officials in that country the United States and the al- lies could be made to believe that the imperial German government had been overthrown. that the people were in control and that it would be advis- able to arrange with them such a peace as they desired.
 Germany is too fully understood for any such thing as that to take place. It has put itself in such a position that even If 1t were sincere 1t would be open to suspicion. But there is no chance of the sincerity or Germany being mistaken at the present time, for it is thoroughly understood that if the kaiser is able to bring about such reforms as it Is claimed have been made he still retains the power to return to the same government which the world has decided must be wiped out for good
 President Wilson has shown tha; there Is going to be no treating with any such crowd of vandals, and that there is no chance of entering into negotiations while the kaiser's meth eds are still in evidence. It is time for the German people to realize that the kaiser must 90 and that the Ho- henzolerns must be gotten rid of al the same time. And what is equally important Germany has been plainly told that it is not going to get a peac. through diplomatic channels withou any regard being paid to the mflitar, leaders. Too great a sacrifice hA. been made for anything of that kind But at the same time Germany, Aus tria-Hunsary and Turkey understand that they can have peace separatel, or together on the same terms whicl were given to Bulgaria.
