Herr Won Payer, asserted that Ger.
many had peace in the east. and would
not submit to the entente Tor It's ap-
prevail or alteration the peace treaties
with the Ukraine, Russia and Rumania-
sions which existed before the war
can everywhere be restored" the
speaker added. "A preliminary condi,
ton for us and our allies Is that All
the territory should again be restored
which we Possessed on August 1, 1914.
Germany must, therefore, in the nrst
place receive back her colonies. In
which connection the idea OF an ex-
change on the grounds Of expedtency
need not be excluded.
I'VE Germans, as soon as peace Is
concluded, can evacuate the occupied

longed to US and II we first are sure
that in Belgium no other state will
be more favorably placed than we.
then Belgium, think I may say, can
be given back without incumbrance
and without reserve"
The vice chancellor said requisite
understanding between Germany and
Belgium was easier because their
economic interests frequently were
parallel, and that Belgium was d.
rectly dependent upon Germany as a
hinterland. He said he had no rea-
son to doubt that the Flemish ques-
ton could be solved in accordance
with the dictates Of justice and wise
craftsmanship.

No Ordinary Peace Expected.

Herr Won Payer considered that the
present terrible struggle would not
end with q peace Of the customary
character. A mere glance at the state
of complete exhaustion Of the world
excludes such a possibility. he said.
"In former peace negotiations. he
said. "the middle and lower. classes,
when 1t came to the council table.
fell quietly into the background. This
now is over and the governments will
conclude the coming peace treaties
IN close harmony with the entire peo-
pie.
THE main thing for them in peace
is not the acquisition of land. treas
ure and glory; they aim, nowadays. at
least, at the conclusion of a lasting
peace, and there will be no peace of
conquest"

he continued, "of course should not
be laid down for our participation in
the peace negotiations. We laugh at

mitted. We laugh at the fools who

to show that peace by understanding
will bring nothing humiliating for US
nor period of misery and wretched-
ness.
Strong and courageous in the con-
seriousness of our invincibility, equal
among the nations of the earth, we
will lead a life Of labor, but also with
contentment and with an assured flu
ture. In common with others. we
will protect the worlds peace from
future dangers. .
'It would be an Illusion to calcu-
late on will to peace in those circles
among our enemies which are respon-
ing of hostilities. For years they
have been living on the inflaming Of
war passions. They cannot admit to
their countrymen that their aims. are
unattafnable and that their sacrifices
have been made in vain.
Others among those peoples will
think differently. Moreover. they will
prevail sooner or later. Until then,
however. there remains nothing for
US to do but to defend our, lives.
We place the responsibility for the
blood which will yet fall on the
shoulders of our enemies but who
ever will not hear, must fall. On our
outer and inner front the will to de-
struction Of our enemies will be shat
tered.

Germany been allowed to pursue her

NO war or injury"
There can be. no question, there

have a right to Naturalization. To

to that point would cost us such

that we prefer, on calm reflection and

No Further Excuse for
Not Buying More Bonds

The Atlanta banks warmly to be COM
mended for the great opportunity and induce
ment which they have offered for citizens to buy
erous terms which the banks have all agreed to
extend, the purchaser of bonds amounting to one
thousand dollars more is allowed to make an
initial payment of only ten per cent and give
notes for the remainder at four and quarter
per cent for ninety days, with the privilege of
two ninety-day renewals. The plan is simple
and its advantages to the bond buyer obvious
that further comment would seem superfuous
1t should be said, however, and said emphat
icaly, that this liberal offer removes the last and
only excuse for hesitancy the part of those
persons who have not yet bought Liberty Bonds
to the limit of their resources Virtually all sub
scribers to thousand more dollars worth of
bonds thus enabled to double treble their
subscriptions; and they ought to do so promptly
as a matter both of enlightened sef-interest and
of simple duty to their country
Atlanta is far short of its quota of this all
important Fourth Liberty Loan. If it is to go
the top, every one. particularly those who
can buy bonds to the amount of a thousand dol
lars or more, must put forth redoubed effort.
With serviceable patriotism, the banks have swung
wide the door of opportunity. Let no Albanian
fail to make the most of this generous invitation
Not to do so would be disoyal to the American
and to ones own highest interests

NO PEACE WITH PRUSSIANISM!

Editor The Journal: Already the insidious Ger
man propaganda is being spread more rapidly than
ever, since Germany sent up her latest cry peace
and it must be guarded against by the women, for
it is they who being approached. The war is
over why buy a Liberty Bond now?" says a
called loyal American with large percentage of
German blood in his veins. A woman comes to
and says, well the war'H be in a month now,
you'll soon have your husband back" and looks at
in horror because l say l do not want him
Germany's terms. We, the women, who have given
up husbands and sons to the we hold most
dear, being approached by these propagandists.
More camoufage! is this latest cry from Germany,
and it must meet with the reception it deserves.
Peace without victory, after all our boys have suf
fered already to say nothing of those brave boys of
our allies who suffered alone for more than three
years! Are all those brave young lives laid down
in vain, that Germany, when she gets enough, must
cry Hold, declare an armistce; tired
that things aren't going our way, and ready to
quit" Forsooth then, like frightened children
who obey a tyrannical teacher we must lay down
our arms and quietly subside, because Germany,
after her than four years of ruthlessness and
beastliness, fire and loot and ravaged women, is
ready to cry quits before one foot of her land is
touched! We are not in this for revenge, but
for the salvation of humanity, and just punish
ment of Germanys unmentiOnable crimes against
humanity. An exchange from one paper says today,
Germany's foes shall pursue their victories until
she fight no more; until surrender is forced
upon her, and with it security against any further
disturbance against peace from that quarter"
But what constitutes security from Germany?
She treats her treaties scraps of paper;' she
lies, and steals, and lies again! Who is to believe
her, and when?
We not thus easily fooled. Oh, thou
beast of Berlin. / did not give up my husband for
any such peace as cry for neither did any other
woman. nor any mother her son! Shall stop
because Germany cries "calf-rope," and in five
years, less than that, perhaps, go through it all
again? Only this time it will be America, and not
little Belgium that is ravaged
The echoes of the "Nos!" of the wives and
mothers, while they weep because they must
say it, will go laundering down through all the
ages.
Those echoes roll from soul to SOUL
And live forever and forever"

CONSOLIDATE WAR RELIEF-By DR.. Frank Crane

At the beginning of the war there were in the
United States some 1855 relief organiza-
tions of one kind and another
Which was approximately 1885 too many.
The number has now been reduced to 15S, most
of them centred in New York City
An effort is being made to reduce the number
still further, but it is being opposed vigorously.
The trouble is that every charity society is
actuated by motives strongly mixed There is d.
vine charity, and there also much human weak
and vanity
Men and women who are working for nothing
quite tenacious of their jobs as inslstent
upon their Importance, and proud of their prom
nence highly paid officials.
1t is this factor that makes it difficult to Sc
cure efficiency in charity.
Nobody wants to hurt anybodys feelings, and
so a lot of incompetents flourish in superfluity.
A great forward step has been made by the
plan to appeal the country in great drive for
the Red Cross the Y. NJ. c. A, and similar organ
izatiOns At least this will not confuse the people,
and will not enable the saCkers to dodge one sub
scription list the plea of intending to subscribe
to another.
