Breaking Words
lFrom The New York Trlbune.)

Words reconcile the mind to the thing
dlscussed-and 70 both ends Of It.
We are breaking words with Ger
many, criminal nation, that has no
word to keep or give or pledge. Peace
talk Nils the front pages Of all the news
papers and dlsplaces the news OF vic
tory. People go TO and fro asking one
another II this means the end OF the
war.
Are we under the spell OF some sin
lster influence that stultifes the mind
and intlmldates the soul? May we not
say once for all, with no diplomacy,
that we hate the Hun, that we mean TO
crush him utterly. that his hand is a
sinking abomination? He holds II out
for peace across sea on which the
wreckage OF the Lelnster Is floating
stlll.
Lifted wet from that outrage It
writes 10 us. accepting the terms laid
iown by President Wilson for the
Foundation OF a permanent peace OF
Justice" 10 writes OF entering into
discussions" touching the practical de-
tails OF the application OF these terms"
.of the necessary arrangements con-
cerning the evacuation" and OF the
present German governments "respOn-
slbility for this step toward peace"
These are such words as one may
receive from an honorable and chlval-
rOus enemy They come from a people
who have dishonOred every emblem OF
warfare, who have violated every rule
OF civilized conduct, who, until they
were beaten, knew no law but that OF
the barbarlan's might. and boasted Of II.
Yet II Is only fair 10 say that we
solicited this offense. Only six days
ago the American Government addressed
a note Of Inquiry 10 the Imperial
Chancellor" and TO the Imperial Ger
man Government" asking them If they
meant 10 accept the principles OF peace
laid down by President Wilson and
the object "in entering into
would be only TO agree upon
the practical details OF their appllca-
tlon." IL was said In that note, fur
ther, that "the good faith Of any dis
cussion would manifestly depend upon
the consent OF the Central Powers i'm

everywhere from invaded territory"
These words, no less than those re-
turned by the Huns, are such as may
