PRESS COMMENT.
ANOTHER TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

Still more direct and searching is
President Wilson's Insstcncc that, be-
fore no will enter into any negotiations
with the German government at all, he
must be told precisely In what sense IT
accepts" his peace program. is 1t
simply as something To talk over? Or as
something To be carried out? To these
questions he requires n categorical an
swer. Now, cannot everybody see that
this is the same thing as demanding that
Germany surrender virtually without
conditions? For the Presidents fourteen
points of last January, and the stIpua-
tions he has subsequently made, would,
If agreed 10 by the German government,
amount to the abandonment of all her
hopes and claims in the war. She would
have TO free and restore Belgium. She
would have 10 give up ce-Lorrane.
She would have to lift her heavy hand
off Russia entirely She would have to
assent TO the creation of an independent
Poland, including territory now German.
But il is needless to go on with the list.
II Germany has really been forced by
defeat into a position where she will ae-
ouiesce In the conditions of peace laid
down by President Wilson, all that we
can say is that she is ready to make
complete capituatlon.
II must be borne IN mind tnat the
Presidents $ real reply 10 Germany has
not vet been made. lie is simply clear
ing proliminaries out of the way seek
ing to ascertain whether the German
offer rs sincere; but all the while retain
ing the purpose TO make his final answer
candid and straightforward. Those
words, in Mr. Wilson's mouth, mean no
compromise and no budging Men reck-
on i'll with the President who see IN his
note of yesterday the slightest relaxing
of determination IL Is not mere dIpio-
matte fencing that he is doing. He
is simply serving notice on the adver-
sarv that he will not strike # an hon
est surrender Is intended, but other
wise Ii the Germans thought that
they might find Woodrow Wilson more
lenient than Lloyd George or Clemen-
ceau, they made another terrible ms

find out. New York Evening Post.

DAY OF RECkO MING

Organized wickedness sums up the
whole German four-year campaign
Everything that Is repellent in the prlrni-
tive savage is made more repellent by
he trained ingenuity of the veneered

of modern civilization as something
that has been used for good ends. The
innumerahle processes of invention, the
wide application Of the discoveries Of
chemists. physicists and constructive
thinkers IN a hundred lines 10 everyday
life have been accounted an indubitable
contribution to human happiness But
the Germans, ever since the war began, E,
have been misappying them, utilizing
them to incre1ase human unhappiness.

STACKER ALIENS.

The kind OF man who IN wartime
repudiates a declaration of intention
TO become an American citizen which
he made when the skies were clear is
not the kind we want among us, even
as a sojourner. II will be hoped that a
way viii be found to deport these without
delay to the countries from which they
came. They are essentially of the pa
rasitic type, and il is doubtful if the benefit
OF their labor will atone for having them
among US. Perhaps they intended TO
leave the country anyway, but it would
be well to see that they do not take
much American money with them. The
suggestion Of draft official that pros
pectiye employers sec to this is timely
in this connection,
These Stacker aliens cannot appre-
ciate the extent Of the penalty which
they are bringing upon themselves.
They certainly will not be welcomed
home by their former countryrnen. No
body has any use for a falrweather
friend. In whatever country they may
find domicile in future they will be held
in contempt. The expatriate may find
sympathy when his motives are sound,
but the Stacker has separate Coventry
reserved for himself and his ilk.
Part of his punishment will be his lOnell-
ness. IL confirms our trust IN humanity
10 find that there are so few of him. Wher-
ever he goes he is doomed 10 be political
hermit for the rest Of his life Portland

THE BATTLE CRY.

On though to death we go,
On through the fields of pain.
Laughing at leaden rain,
Dealing them blow for blow,
Falling not in vainl
Dying but living still -
This he our battle cry.
Freedom they cannot Kill
Right was not horn 10 die.
What matters death or pain
What matters you or
All men ure born 10 die.
They who depart, remain
Under earth's friendly sky,
Giving young blood u thrill
Holding old standards high,
Our dreams they cannot kill,
Our flag shall always fly
Back from wars dreadful bourne,
Out of the smoke and CRIME,
Out of the death and slime,
Our spirits shall return,
Brave TO the end of time
Here youth shall greet us still,
Here shall our banner fly,
Freedom they cannot kill.
Never her soldiers die.

THE WAR MACHINE.

he mighty German war machine
is busted in the road; the great
est engine ever seen broke down
beneath it's load The wise mt
chanics flock around and try to
make repairs; old Hindenbnrg he
paws the ground, and Chutfer
Wilhelm swears. Says Ludendortf,
This blamed old boat will never
run again; it's lost its everlasting
goat, and We are hoodooed men.
The kronprinz, smeared with mud
and grease, crawls from eneath
the car, and SAYS, Perhaps a plea
for peace, Just now, would travel
far While this old ark could hit
the plain at fifty miles an hour, all
talk of peace gave me paln-l
gloried In its power. But while we
pushed il we forgot, methinks, to
/. knock on wood; our Jonah got us
! now, | wot, and peace looks pretty
good And then exclaims his
naughty sire, The blame must go
your way; you would put on that
wornout tire, that blew out every
day. If Me und Gott had run this
boat, with none TO interfere, |
would not mourn my royal goat,
: which you made disappear. Says
Hindenburg, THE motors works
kick up an awful din; we'll have to
telephone the Turks to come and
haul us in The war machine is
in the ditch, a sad and ghastly
wreck and Wilhelm Tnourns, in dole

Fight Must Go On.

Ii will not do to assume. because Ger
many is now on the defensive and IN
desperate retreat, that the war is about
over. or even near an end. There is still
a great amount of fighting to be done, AS
the victory over Germany must be made
conclusive
Referring TO this phase of the situation
Sir Erie Geddes, First Lord of the British
Admiralty, in an interview u. Washing
ton, Wednesday, said: There can be no
greater peril To the cause of liberty, de
cency and humanity, for which the Allies
arc fighting than a relaxation of energy
brought about by general conviction
that the war is about to end, that Ger
many is licked and that therefore il is not
necessary 10 continue preparation and
striving
On the contrary. there is even more
necessity for greater preparation and
striving, for greater offensive efforts.
No opportunity should he allowed to
Germany to secure breathing spell and
recuperate her shattered forces. Slcdge
hammer blows should continue incessant-
ly.
There is no reason 10 fear that Marshal
Foch will let up for an instant. His plans
were carefully prepared and are beng
carried out splendidly The soldiers in
the field will do their part. and 1T only
remains for the people at home TO supple
ment their magnificent work to the end.
In our country one of the very best
ways to do this will be to make an over
whelming success of the Fourth Liberty
Loan campaign.
