NO PEACE TILL HUNS
SUFFER ON OWN SOIL


Terms on which permanent and
lasting peace for the world may be
made were outlined by Representa-
tive w. Frank James of Michigan, in
the course of an address delivered at
the services in memory of the dead of
the Tuscania and other American
dead in the present war, held at the
Knickerbocker Theater this morning.
The services. held under auspices of
the Tuscania memorial committee,
Barry Bulkley. chairman, are the first
for soldier dead in the present war
to be held in the National Capital
Representative James, outlining
"the only terms on which we want
peace" said:
When we have pushed back the
enemy foot by foot out of bleeding
back foot by foot .out of heroic
France; when we have driven them
out of northern Italy; when we have
driven them out of every foot of
brave Servia sand little Montenegro,
when we have pushed them back on
German soil. seen them burn and de-
stroy their lands as they have de-
stroyed the fertile fields of France
and Belgium; when the flag of Bel
gium, the tricolor of France. the
Union Jack of Great Britain. the flag
OF Italy and our glorious red, white
and blue float proudly in the breezes
as we march towards Potsdam; when
the kaiser Is willing to expiate his
sins on the desolate isle of ST. Helena;
when the terms of peace will be made
In Germany but made by men favoring
a permanent peace. then we will talk
peace, but no red-blooded American
wants any talk of peace until that
day comes.
ANY peace now would not only be
made in Germany but also made by
Germany" Representative James said.
He continued: ASK the women in Bel
gium and France and in northern
Italy IL they wish that kind of a
peace. Ask the parents Of the boys of
Belgium and France, whose hands
have been cut off by the enemy, If
they want that kinsl Of peace
ASK the boys in the trenches who
have seen their comrades with their
throats cut after a trench raid IL they
wish that kind of d peace. Any peace
now means that We would receive the
same ignoble terms rs Russia and
Rumania. Any peace now means the
same treatment OF our women as of
Tuscania's First Dead.
'In addition to honorins those who
died on land and on sea in 81 and
'9s, we are today paying our me-
mortal tribute to those who have died
on land and on sea in this great war.
The first Americans to give their
lives for their country were those
who died on the Tuscania. The boys
who died when the Maine was blown
up in Havana harbor we honor as
much as those who died at Gettys-
burg. The boys who died on the Tus-
cania will be honored by US as much
as il they had died on the blood
stained fields of France.
These boys who died on the Tus-
cania, died as Americans should die.
There was no panic. They stood at
attention while the vessel sank deep
er mad deeper into the Atlantic, sing
ing America and The Star Spangled
Banner
"As has been we'll said, America
every one Of them. Though the boys
have perished. their names are not to
die. Those names. humble or proud.
will be inscribed upon no less august
a page than the book Of the history
of human liberty. and the tears that
fall upon the page will not be tears
of weakness
30 SuTcly dS 1OQ ana keeps
the flame Of liberty burning in
American hearts, the murderers who
ordered the death of these lads will
be brought to justice. The lion looks
after her whelps, and the tiger after
her cubs, and the eagle looks after
her own.
Some day I hope to see suitable
monument erected to the memory of
the brave boys who died on the Tus-
cania, and hope that their bodies will
lie at Arlington cemetery near the
bodies of the brave heroes of the
Maine. .--r.--
No War More justified.
'.No. war-not even the revolutionary
war-was more justified than this
war. In no war was there so much at
stake. Our lives, the lives of our
children, the lives and honor of our
women are all at stake today.
