MORE POTSDAM INSO-
LENCE

~ ERMANY'S proposal for
VI an armistice is a typical
piece of Berlin insolence.
Having come to grief in his
plan for world conquest the in
ternational murderer wishes to
have the game called off and
the slate washed clean. He
announces willingness to give
up his loot now that he is
caught but makes no offer to
expiate his crimes. Indeed he
wants Belgium's rescuers to
help pay for the harm done to
that land.
Only the foolish will place
any faith in hope of peace on
such terms as Prince Max has
outlined. He is but the over
night spokesman of an outlaw
government that has confessed
itself without honor or sense of
shame. Germany is whipped
but has not yet lost its AFRO
gance. The world ruffian who
deserves a moose wishes to sit
in council with honorable men
and talk terms.
Should the allies accept this
Berlin proposal the five years
of sacrifice and sorrow will
have been given in vain. The
countless dead in allied graves,
the colossal expense Of our part
in the war have not been given
to bring about a petty political
reform in Germany. The war
aims of the allies will not be
attained until Germany is com
pletely whipped and power
less TO do anything else but ac-
eept the terms laid down by
the victors. The war will have
been a failure from the stand
point of humanity if the Hun
is not punished for his misdeeds
and made to right the damage
inflicted in France and Bel
gium.
A white flag is what we
want from Berlin not peace
terms based on the theory Of a
victorious or unconquerable
Germany.
