Lifting it's hands in holy horror at
the iniouitv of the Americans in using
shotguns for special work, the in
,perial German Government threat
ems to execute American prisoners OF
war found in possession of such guns;
It is all right to murder women and
children and old men and defenselesss
prisoners, to sink hospital ships and
drop bombs on hospitals, but the Ger
man thinks it is barbarous in a fight
to use a shotgun. The answer Of the
United States is that "if the German
Government should carry out its
threat in a single instance it will be
the right and duty Of the United
States to take proper measures
against German prisoners. The Ger
man knows better than to monkey
with Uncle Sam in this business.

HOW GERMANY WAGES PEACE


Prince Macmillan, the new German
chancellor, in the Reichtag Saturday
declared that the new government
stood on the basis of just peace, re-
yardless of the war situation. Any
body who believes that the German
government stands now or has ever
stood for "just" peace needs to be
bored for the simples. There is moth
ing more diabolical and less worthy
of consideration this side Of hell--or
in hell, for that matter-than Ger
man peace offensives. The German
wages peace just as he wages war,
and for the same hellish purpose.
But when a beast in human form
comes straight from a slaughter pit
where he has mangled babies and
tortdred and outraged women, and
holds up hands dripping with the
blood of the innocent and helpless,
there are always sine fools who are
willing to fold him to their arms and
feel more pity for him than they feel
for his victims. Germany talks peace
in order to gain an advantage to slip
a knife under the ribs. It does not
make any difference what the new
German government or any German
government stands for; they are 60
ing to have to stand for whatever
terms the civilized nations of the
world impose when the German arm
les are beaten and Germany surrend-
ers Internationally. When the Ger
mans begin a peace offensive then is
the time to fight twice as hard as
you thought you could fight: like the
United States and the Allies went to
it when the situation was so desperate
last spring. Until Prussianism is 0e.
stroyed it makes no difference what
peace proposals come out of the
treacherous German government.
