THE BLUE TRIANGLE
AT RUSSIA'S FRONT

The Blue Triangle clubrooms Ii
Petrograd were In half shadow. A
few scattered candles flung CLEANS as
persistent and as vague as Russia's
hope Of liberty. A hundred Russian
girls and six young men were guests
Of the first Young Women's Christian
association In all Russia. II was a
gala afternoon tea but II was dark
because the winter days erd ut three
o'clock and there Is a restriction on
the use Of candles and Kerosene as
well as OF electricity.
The girls were making merry even
In the gloom Of winter. the twilight
and the tragedy Of war. One slenilw
white-faced girl with purple-shndowed
eyes was merrier than all the rest.
Her wit and ringing laugh were con.
tngious.
"Sonya is wonderful tonight" one
girl whispered TO another as she
stirred gently into her tea the one
lump Of sugar doled out carefully for
the party. The Y. w. O. A. sccre
tnrles had been saving the sugar for
months--puttlng aside at each meal
one of the two Jumps served with the
coffee In the restaurant, that there
might be bit Of sweet for this first
party. There was no bread.
"sonya Is not drinking her tea
her pale little admirer went on, "ye
she tainted this morning al the fac
tory and the forewoman said she was
hungry"
"Wcre all hungry" was the mo.
notonous reply. "lt wasn't that"
Something stopped the laughter and
talk suddenly but the hush that fell
In the dlmly lit room was as joyous a.
the gaiety. One of Russia's Creates
singers stood by the piano and lifted
up her gloriou, voice filled with the
tears and heartbreak TINT people at
pence call thrills.
They went away early when the
music was done-these sad-eyed, half
starved little guests of the Blue Trl
engle-for danger turks In the dark
of peirogrnd streets, robberles and
murtlers-sharp little by-products OF
a naiion's chaos and n world at war,
Sonya fingered after the others
were gone. She was standing clos
by the secretary-hostess' chair when
she turned from saying goodnight tJ
the last one Of the other girls. The
laughter had died out Of the girls
eyes and the galety from her voice
"Will you give me note to tn
factory superintendent" she asked.

for she knew no English, and the see

"yes, II II will help you." The sec

The secretary wondered. Sonya
had not been In any Of the classea.
Had the bright little party given her
an interest In the work of the assocIn
tion? Had the friendllness Of the
American secretaries reached herr

THE PASSWORD TO PEACE

AT the present time we need to give more attention
to the enemy peace drives than we do to the allied war drives.
General Foch and his aides will see to it that the fighting is
pressed, not here and there, but everywhere, and not now
and then, but all the time. That is their business, and we
have confidence in them. They will not fail us.
But there may be danger that those at home shall fail
those who are at the front, through succumbing to the bland
ishments of those who are beginning to talk softly to us, purr-
Jig like kittens where they once rOared like lions. The voice
of sOftness is beginning to be heard in the land, in all lands.
Those who are still whispering will dare to talk louder after
a while. We have actually heard the phrase, "the poor kais-
err and though it was a slip of the tongue it was none the
less a recurrence of the human tendency to pity the wrong.
doer after his wrongs have all been committed, and to forget
about those who have been wronged. He is not the poor
KAISER he is the accursed kaiser, damned with the infamy
of millions of murders and untold wrongs worse than muir
ders, all to satiate an egotistic greed for power-and ready to
do it again.
Won Herting resigned the chancellorship and Prince
Macmillan of Baden was offered the place. The prince said,
mo, no." but they said, Eyes, yes"-and then he accepted.
That's all mere play. We next have the prince paraded as
an anti pam German. And with him we have Matthias Erzber-
ger trotted out again, and everything is made to appear as if
the kaiser and the crown prince and their associated pan
lunatics and b~aby-killers have been forced out of control in
Germany and that the new Germany is almost washed white
enough to shake hands with the rest of the world.
1t is all deception and pretense still. The reluctant prince
of Baden was posed for his picture, and Erzberger is an old
fraud who has been playing between the lines for some time.
But it is still the same old gang. The voice is the voice of
Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau, and they are
worse than hairy, they are bloody still and in all the seas
there is not water enough to cleanse them. 1t is the same
old gang" playing the same old tricks.
The Americans we have sent to France, the French, the
British, the Italians, the Belgians, the Serbians, who have all
suffered worse than we-all these have one word which is
the keyword or password to peace. In all their peace drives
the Germans have never found it. When they learn to pro-
nounce that word with their hands up they can have peace.
1t is spelled S-u-r-r-e-n-d-e-r.

A MORAL MADNESS

The Germans continue to speak and to write about the
war-mad Americans and some of their numbskull statesmen
have sought to conjure up the spectre of American dominion
in Europe. "Are we going to fight each other" so runs their
plant, until we are exhausted and fall into the clutches of that
grasping America? What cannot the German mind cOniure
up, either out of lumatic hopes or dastardly fears?
No, America is not war mad. War for its own sake is
hateful to Americans; tt is only in Germany that such war has
been lauded and where it has been pracGced now, to their
own undoing. But the American boys in France are mad and
they are mad at the stupid dolts and brutes who have been
ravaging other peoples lands and raping their women. They
are mad at the Germans because the Germans have not CON
Quoted themselves like human beings, because they have been
guilty of all the cruelties of hyenas and all the indecencies of
moral perverts and degenerates. They hate men who poison
wells, who wantonly destroy other peoples goods, who run
their bayonets through children and who violate women. An
American who would not hate such things would be hated at
home; he would not be an American.
The Americans at the front now know the things that
were before reported that seemed unbelievable. They know
them for the truth now and they hate the men who have been
guilty of them. They want to slap the faces and smash the
Shoots of the men who have been guilty of such things
Every needlessly burned cottage, every manned and emaciat-
ed child, every outraged woman appeals to them for Justice to
be done in this world. That is what Americans feel and that
is what makes them mad. And we at home are proud of what
they feel and we glory in their sense of the eternally Just be-
ing done.

their guns still in their hands and their bloody swords dang
ling at their sides, and while standing with hob-naied boots
upon the PROSTATE forms of Belgium, Serbia, Rumania, Rus
STA and certain provinces of France.
This is the time to remember Belgium; to remember Ser
ba; to remember Russia; to remember Rumania and to re-
member the recent similar plea from Bulgaria.
With Bulgaria fallen, with Turkey, Austria and even inn
perial Germany c%rumbling, the kaiser has no peace to offer. ,
He may invite it but he can not offer it. The civilization he
has attempted to destroy will name for Germany the terms of
the future peace which she will be compelled to observe,
whether she likes it or not, in spite of the teachings of her
kaiser. her kings. her princes and all her titled aristOcracy,
fed through her schools, her universities, her iunker press and
her clergy to her people, who were bred and nurtured and
taught and trained to regard themselves as chattels of a muir
derous princely parasite.

SPAIN THINKS BETTER OF US

Spain, we are told, has been deeply touched by what is
now realized to be the American position, a participant in the
world war with nothing to ask in the way of a reward except
the consciousness of a duty done for the world at large. In
Spain they have been listening too long to the German propa-
gandists who have been saying that America was a nation of
greed and that her mission in Europe was land and loot. Now
the Spaniards have seen the American army and know what
sentiments animate it; they know that they have been lied to
by the Germans and they also know that they have been lying
themselves in the past about the Americans. Contrasted with
the Germans on the battle lines the Americans are like angels
of heaven compared with the devils of hell. In other words,
America is conquering the good will of nations like Spain
with the example that it is setting.

mo TALK OF PEACE"

This headline is taken from The Stars and Stripes, the
paper which is printed as "the official organ of the American
expertionary forces in France" And under the head we find
this sterling advice:
Let the weak hearted, who are dreaming of a compro-
mise
Let the pacificts, who are talking of peace by agree
ment"-
Let the side-lners, who have had enough of war
Let the secretly inclined pro-Germans, who think this
great tragedy should end without a decision
Let them one and all know once and for all that for the
\. +. f. there is no no such word as peace with the Hun I'M
beaten. The man who talks of peace today, except through
victory, is a traitor. He is only fit to face the firing squad,
The boys over there who are paying the price know
what they want and what they are fighting for. 1t is for us
at home to keep still.
