WITH THE EDITORS
THE GERMAN PEACE OFFENSIVE.
A Time to Hit Harder.

Germany, Austria and Turkey, hard-pressed,
their dream of world dominion shattered, their
forces being pushed back everywhere, are reported
to be asking for an armistice to talk things over
ION the basis of President Wilson's terms"
Their arms are still full of plumber. Though
they are being driven slowly off French soil, and
will yet be driven, slowly or rapidly, off Belgian
soil, they still occupy large of Russia, Poland
Rumanian, Alsace-Lorraine, Serbia and Monte
negro. They could give up France, Belgium and
Alsace-Lorraine, and still win the war.
Their greatest hope now is for breathing spell;
for let-up, however produced, in the Foch cam
paign, which is designed not to give them any
breathing sp,l whatever until they are whipped
There WILL Of course, be no armistice with the
enemy in stolen territory Our terms are known,
definitely. completely; there is nothing in them
to be talked over" There is nothing to talk
about-Duluth Herald.

WHY THEY DIDN'T APPLAUD.

The big Liberty Loan meeting was in full swing.
The theater was packed with an enthusiastic
audience cheering the flag, the loan, the president
hurting the full force of 5000 voices into the war
songs, applaudihg the speakers, the soldier glee
club the orchestra. ".,~
The soldier quartet from nearby training
camp was most popular. Again and again it sang
while the audience joined in and applauded till
hands stung. TN Sssaa
At last the quartet filed out followed by storms
of applause.
A girl in the audience touched her companions
arm. isn't this splendid! Hear the clapping-
but look, out of all these thousands there are two
men who aren't applaudingv'
Sure enough-there sat two men, silent, unn1ov-
ing amid the thunders of cheers mad applause. AS
the soldiers left the stage they only looked after
them and smiled They sat on the stage ITSELF
and they wore the khaki uniforms!
But nobody hissed-nobody mobbed the men
who didn't applaud instead of scorn the audience
looked at them with eyes Of pity and love, and
respect.
They didn't applaud because clapping is done
with TWO hands-and these men had only one!
The men who didn't applaud were Canadian
soldiers, invalided home because of the empty
sleeve. They didn't applaud-nor ever will ap-
plaud again-but as they sat before the vast
crowd their empty sleeves shouted ut is our right
to say GIVE! GIVE TILL 1T HURTS"

STORY ABOUT A SKUNK.

And it appears that Germany is low-down
enough to blackmail her friends.
She has been granting "safe conduct to Finnish
ships That is, if Finn skipper hollered quick
enough, U-boat commanders wouldn't sink his
craft, Firms having been very useful to Germany
in respect of Russian matters However, the
Germans found that real money could be made IN
safe conducting' and so they've required de-
nosit of 5000 per ton on Finnish tonnage. If the
Finn can put up more than his vessel is WORTH ne
sails safely Otherwise, he's likely to become
fish-bat.
It reminds us of Story About Skunk.
One time a nice, altruistic man met skunk,
with which, in his goodness of heart, ne wished
to be friends. So, he coaxingly sidled up to the
little creature, with smile and some very kind
words The little creature did the rest, plenty
and lasting. This is all Of the story, and there
isn't any moral.

EQUALS.

All men are created equal but remain so only till
Reason seats itself on the throne of each mans
mind.
The specter of Common sense lifts it's possessor
above his fellows who tumble in the dark Of de-
lus:en, illusion and ignorance.
Democracy represents equal Opportunity.
Which does NOT mean that one man is as good
as another if he's moral pervert or criminal
menace to society.
Shall the meaning Of Equality" be accepted
literally, with dogmatic adherence to the letter?
so, parasite is placed on par with producer
shirker ranks with worker; the same respect ac-
corded captain of industry will be due to bar
nacle on the bottom of The Ship of Service
If men remained equal, evolution would auto
maticaly slow down to the pace of the least pro-
gressive.
Education is the great equalizer. It awakens
the hookworm to vie with the bookworm; it fires
and inspires by example.

The Answer to Germany.

Basis for negotiations, forsooth! There is no
basis for negotiations except unconditional sur
render. Let the Huns look to Bulgaria, if they
would know what they must do to get an armistice.
Let them lay down their arms, demobilize their
armies surrender their spoils, retreat into their
own country and get rid of their Hohenzollerns.'
Then the allies will be ready to notify them of
the terms on which peace is to be made For it
will be a dictated peace and not a negotiated one
that will end this war-a peace that will endure
that will free the peoples of the world, that will
rest securely on justice.
Meanwhile, let the soldiers of democracy push
on relentlessly. Let the home peoples abate not
on jot of their labors in support Let the war be
fought through to it's one, it's inevitable con-
clusion. ~.
On this program the world is today united. The
peace offensive is significant only of Germany's
abject fear of defeat, of her desire to save what
Of her bloody loot she can. She must be brought
to uncQrJ itional surrender.
The most stunning answer America can make
at this moment is the triumphant over-subscrip-
ton of the Fourth Liberty Loan Minneapolis
Journal.

Germany's New Peace Lure.

If Germany is playing square about the January
speech, it can establish the fact rather neatly
by withdrawing it's armed forces from Belgium,
France, Russia and elsewhere to it's own domain,
the defense of which, it protests is it's sole aim in
fighting. We cannot speak for the allied govern
ments, of course, but we have "hunch' that if
the kaiser would volunteer to call back his armies
to the boundaries toward which the might of the
allies is forcing them, he and Prince Macmillan
could gain very respectful hearing for the new
proposal particularly if they also can convince the
world that an awakened and chastened German
people is now the real power behind the throne, as
the chancellor would have us believe from his
reichstag speech.
1t is quite understandable why Germany would
hail an armistice. Events on the west front, in
Bulgaria, in Turkey and in Albania make the thing
plain. We do not recall that Germany craved an
armistice when it's armies were crashing toward
Paris and the channel ports from the middle of
March till the middle of July. The great sacrifices
which Prince Macmillan talks about now did not
enter charitaby into the conscience of the German
government Minneapolis Tribune.

in preparation for the war into which
we afterwards tumbled. Recently a
brief announcement was made in the
papers to the effect that the Muscle
Shoals Nitrate Plant project had been
temporarily abandoned by order of the
administration, it being classed as a
non-essential piece of construction at
this time.
In a letter to the Birmingham Age
Herald, one year ago, Senator Under
wood said, citing reasons for the air.
nitrogen industry, by which he con-
templated the Muscle Shoals Plant:
1.-THE first is that a nation can not
conduct a war of defense or offense
without explosives; that explosives
cannot be made without nitric acid;
that an adequate supply of nitric acid
can not be secured except through the
use of Chilean salt petre or the fixa-
ton of atmospheric nitrogen; that the
supply of Chilean salt petre might be
cut from the United States at any
time by an enemy navy. Therefore,
it is not only a patriotic duty, but a
national necessity of the very first
order of importance for Congress to
insure the establishment in the coun-
try of the air-nitrogen industry on a
scale adequate to supply the Nations
requirements for nitric acid in times
of war" This was followed by talk
on the Importance of nitrates to the
farmer, in raising crops, and he clos
ed with a long-winded argument for
Muscle Shoals. If that plant is nom
essential now, it certainly must have
been when $2O,O0O,OOO was appropriat-
ed for its construction. Or is it pos
sible that after all the professional
opinion that has been printed in the
Congressional Record it has been
found on attempting to build that the
project at Muscle Shoals was not feas-
ible? Queerer things have happened
under this administration.
