The war is to be prosecuted yigor-
ously by the entente allies and the
United States until a peaces"based on
the principles of freedom, justice ana
respect for international law" is OBJ
tanned. This is the decision of the
supreme war council of the countries
in arms against the Teutonic allies
Paris cable.
Certainly it is. How could it be
otherwise? Why be constantly iterat-
ing and reiterating it? One might
fancy there is hitch, halt or doubt
somewhere.
! The war is to be prosecuted until
we win it, 1t is to be prosecuted until
the Hun is licked to a FRAGILE and out
OF his bloody boots; until the allied
flags are triumphant over Potsdam,
Yuba Dam and Hellfor Sartin; until
old Hindenburg and old Tirpitz are
made to dance the can-can in the
COURTYARD of the Schloss to the rag
time of yankee Doodle" 1t is to be
prosecuted until the boys, having
crossed the Rhine, razing Brietstein
to the level of the stream, and swept
Ionward to Berlin, march through IN
ter den Linden to the music of THE
Star Spangled Banner each mothers
son shouting wen hang Kaiser Bill
to a sour apple tree!" 1t Is to be
prosecuted until Germany regenerate,
the "Marseillaise" substituted for Die
"Wacht am Rhein" as the national an
them, each individual German is
taught to say his prayers in alternate
French, Italian and English.
In the same cablegram from which
we take the above we find the follow
ing:
THE high sounding phrases in the
recent speeches of the imperial Ger
man chancellor and the Austro-Hun-
garian foreign minister were entirely
thrown into the discard by the council
lat it's Session at Versailles, and lit was
decided that the war would be vigor-
ously prosecuted until the time comes
when there is justification for the hope
that a peace may be realized in accord
with the policies laid down by Presi-
dent Wilson and David Lloyd George,
the British premier"
Classification for the hope!" May
the devil fly away with the SON. of-a-
gun who wrote that! The policies
of President Wilson and David Lloyd
George"-what "policies?' Not peace
without victory" surely?
NAY, Pauline, nay!" The end of
the war is to be wrought not by PEN
: work, however clever but by the
sword of the Lord and of Gideon; the
terms" are to be delivered out of the
mouths of cannon the lazy sons of
peace who are too good to live and too
proud to fight will have to put on
something more than war paint and
: feathers before they can be trusted in
the final equation to handle results
Down with the tommyrot!
There are few other things to be
considered than freedom, justice and
respect for the principles of interna-
tional law" We shall not treat with
the Hohenzollern at all, nor with Ger
many, until Germany is born again
; Meanwhile there are scores, many and
bloody scores, to settle; the Lnsitania
and the Sussex: the Belgian horrors,
especially the murder of Miss Cavell ;
the murderous air raids upon London
and Paris and the undefended coast
towns and hamlets. Even as we have
suffered the Hun shall suffer.
Vengeance is mine," saith the Lord
but heaven has heard the shrieks OF
drowning women-has seen the tiny
hands of children stretched out In
