but only after bit of a tussle. The
officer said that Cleary came to him
in the early evening with blood flow
ing from his mouth and he, Cleary.
told the officer that some one had
punched him. He was told TO 90 home.
Gleary evidently thought ne would 90
home when he couldn't go anywhere
else, and while the saloons were open
he had somewhere else TO go. He
was later picked up and landed be-
hind the bars at police headquarters
Cleary said that ne had worked for
a year at the Massachusetts insane
hospital at Tewksbury He got on a
drunk and left the position He had
500 when he started and in court his
total wealth amounted to twelve
cents. He has been working on the
work train since Wednesday.
Now. men who spend all their mon
ey for booze and do not save any to
pay fines with do not touch the heart
of the judge of the Putnam city court
Cleary was given 80 days in Jail as a
little lesson" that he might see the
error of his ways and have an oppor-
tunity TO form good resolutions for
1919.
Roxana Mcdonald pleaded guilty to
intoxication. She said she took two
drinks of liquor in hot water to ale
viate pain and the rest of the day was

the time that he would be most danger

Germany's punishment began to be ar
ranged.
He is now anticipating the end. He
fills his newspapers with rumors and
talk of peace. Four days ago, in three
inch type, he announced the surrender
of Austria, which has not happened.
Yesterday, on the front page of The
Neac York American he printed the por-
trait of prince William Frederick of
Germany, eldest son of the Crown
Prince and twelve year-old grandson Of
Emperor William, whom it is rumored
the Kaiser will nominate as his successor
when he abdicates."
And now he lifts his kissing voice in

A Wreathed Ahocity

The latest German papers bring the
news that DR.. Karl Peters is dead, "a
man who was both famous and infa-
nous in Germany's colonial history. 1t
was he to whom Germany owed German
East Africa, he having explored and "an-
nexed" that region in 1884 After the
imperial government took over the col
ony Peters was appointed imperial COM
missioner in the>Kilimanjaro region, but
he committed such brutalities there that
he had to be recalled. He was later tried
at Berlin, and such a disgusting mass of
evidence was brought to light that he
was dismissed from the service in dis
grace. After that Peters lived for the
most part in London, interesting himself
in gold mining operations in Africa He
was also an extensive writer 1t was his
own frank revelations in his books Of
his brutalities that gave him the repu-
tation in Germany of brutal and reck-
less adventurer. One of his later books
attempted to prove that the land of
Ophir, from which Solomon obtained the
gold used in adorning the temple, was
the region known as Macombe, on the
lower Zambesi, where many very an
cient diggings were discovered. The
Kaiser had no horror of the atrocities
of his former servant, as he sent a rep
resentative to the funeral to lay a
wreath upon his grave
New-York tribune., 1918-10-17

Grant and all the people of the North
knew what these words meant when at
Appomattox, Lee came forward with his
sword.
Bulgaria knew, Turkey knows, Austria
knows. And Germany shall learn to
know.
4 For these terms need no notes Of detini-
tion and explanation, no editorials in
inspired newspapers as to precisely what
they mean.
We think it is fair to say that the
great bulk of the German people do not
yet know what America means, nor what
the President means in his present dis
cussion of an "armistice." But there
are two words in the English language
they could not misunderstood. These
voice the will and the spirit of the Amer
lean people and of all of our Allies. We
believe they will finally voice the de-
mands of this government, and even of
The New York World, for there is no
other path to genuine peace.

Your Filler

You read in yesterdays Tribune what
Air Secretary Ryan had to say as to the
tremendous success of the Liberty motor
in France. ut has been accepted by the
French and British as superior to their
own manufacture, and with the Italian
government they are depending on the
United States to supply as many of them
as possible"
But note one other phrase in Secretary
Ryan's interview: The plans of all the
foreign governments - French, British
and Italian-are now based to con-
siderable extent upon obtaining a supply
OF these motors in this country And
this supply will take large sums of
money. The programme calls for nearly
one billion dollars.
This billion dollars must come from the
savings of the American people. You
'are not asked to have it taxed from your
pockets. For every dollar you subscribe
you are given government bond at Az
per cent interest. A chance to combine
patriotism and thrift. A Liberty bond
now means "a share in ten or twenty
thousand dollar Liberty arplane..

trained within year. Their Job is not
always pleasant one; it is perhaps the
most hazardous and thrilling in all the

nor put yourself up as a target for Ger
man bombs and bullets mile or two or
three miles in the air. But you can buy
Liberty bond, and take the safest lit

The World Deplores "Uncondi.
tional Surrender"

The New York World, supposed to be
in some sense the spokesman among New
York newspapers of the present Ad-
ministration, and especially of the Presi-
dent, affects to "deplore the present
thoughtless and irresponsible demand for
an Unconditional Surrender" 1t asks.
with a sneer:
"How many of the Americans who are
shouting for Unconditional surrender
know the meaning of the words they
use?"
The World adds:
at is only phrase, and no issue of
this magnitude settled by
phrase"
We can advise the World of some
thing which it does not seem to know.
that what was UP to that time the great
est war in history, the most sanguinary
and the most costly, was settled precisely
with this phrase. And we believe that
the overwhelming majority of the people
of America will demand that the present
war be ended with the same phrase and
in the same way.
We believe that the people of France
and Great Britain and Belgium and Italy
and all the other nations by whose side
our troops are fighting will make the
same demand, and that they will be cor
tent with no other kind of peace.
Those svere the terms to Bulgaria.
And Bulgaria accepted.
AS the dispatches of yesterday ndi-
Gated, those will be the terms to the
Turk. And the Turk will accept.
And those will be the terms to Austria.
and, unless we are vitality mistaken, those
are the terms which Austria will accept.
Does the World wish to make an ex-
ception of Germany? And, if so for
what reason? Is the World in favor of
ending the war now, on any terms that
will mean a safe peace? Without
repatriation, without restitution, without
punishment for Germany? Without the
only action which can make Germany
hate the idea of war? 1t seems to say
SO in another editorial, side by side with
its sneers at the Americans who demand
an "upconditional surrender" 1t says:
"The World has never been in favor of
carrying on the war against Germany be-
yond the time when the conflict could
safely be terminated simply from con-
sideratons of military vanity or from a
desire to infIict as much devastation
upon Germany as Germany IS inflicted
upon others"
Then the Wo u il undertaking in a
lengthy editorial o oefne just what the
President means by his notes, is ready
for a German peace"?--that is, a ne
gotiated peace, "bargain" peace,
peace in which Germany. after four
years of pillage, destruction and murder
upon the high seas, should sit at the
peace table, as an equal, if only it gives
proper guarantees s"-guarantees that,
heaven forfend, it is acting "in good
faith"-Gern,a' good faith?
Does the World speak for the Presi
dent here?
We believe that the whole true voice
of the American people would cry out
against such q craven and humiliating
peace. y" They would not and they could
not know what such a peace might mean.
And neither could the World. But in
spite of the Worlds incredulity, the
American people do know the meaning of
those two final and unequivocal words

Crocodile Erzberger

Of all the sckly, pulling hypocrisy that
the German mind has achieved the cant
of Matthias Erzberger touching the sink
ing of the Irish mail ship Leinster, with
the loss of over four hundred men, wom-
ell and children, is the worst. Not even
the Kaiser picking violets for his spouse
on a blood-soaked battlefield and mourn
ing the death of other peoples sons is
quite so hard to stomach.
The Leinster was crowded passen-
ger vessel and was torpedoed without
warning in the Irish Sea. This was
typical German frightfulness, utterly
without justification under any rules ot
war. 1t was wilful and wanton murder
on the most barbaric and colossal scale
the Lusitania over again. BY the ordi
nary criminal law everybody respon-
sible, from the Kaiser down to the u
boat captain and crew-not excluding
Matthias Erzberger, Secretary of State
without portfolio in the Kaisers gov
ernment-should be hanged by the neck
until he is deaas
And what does Crocodile Erzberger
do? Is he repentant and apologetic?
Does he express any notion that the Ger
man government purposes to abate one
inch of this settled policy of numbering
helpless women and children? Not in
the slightest. He weeps, yes; he ex-
deep sympathy" even real pain in,
this sad case" But of German fault
there is pompous and confident denial.
"Here is the hand of destiny, for which
we cannot be made responsible" he de-
claims.
In fact, he suggests it is really the
Allied governments who are responsible
for all these deaths. Why? Because
they have delayed granting the armis-
tice which the German government, in
proposed ".Iust here it has been shown
how right the German proposal was for
the completion Of an immediate armis-
tice. 1t is unthinkable that
now, when the door of peace slowly be-
gins to open, unfortunate women and
cnlldren should suffer because OF the
will for war, the cessation of which
should now only be question of days"
And he closes with a tear dropped
the beautiful phrase, "superfluous, aim
less disaster"
This of the deliberate butchering Of
women and children without shadow
of military neutrality-suspicious. aimless
murder even by savage's standards
Yet, God help us, we are conversing,
actually conversing, with batch Of
such hypocrites and calmly discussing
how they can alter their machinery of
government SO as to make it safe for
democracy! AS if the blood dripping
from a murderer's hands was All imma.

To Need and to Pay

Undoubtedly allies will welcome, the
Powers will be willing to surrender prac-
tically everything for such provision
This is evident from the fact that there
are two essentials to a market: First,
ability to pay, and, second, needs. I put
ability to pay first for the mere possess
sion of the means with which to buy al
ways creates needs. After the war sll the
world will be in need, but America only
will possess the means with which to buy
international free trade, therefore, should
be acceptable to every one except expert
enced Americans.
But there several other matters that
interest me wherein I am entirely at sea:
FIRST-Does "even-handed and dis
passionate justice" (see third Liberty Loan
speech and impartial justice with no
discrimination between those to whom ws
wish to be just and those to whom we do
not wish to be just 80. no fayorites
and no standard but the equal rights ne
the several people concerned" (see fourth
Liberty Loan speech), mean that the sne-
ferers OF atrocities and the perpetrators
thereof are to be accorded the same trso+-
ment IN the treaty? If not, will some ono
cite statement in condition or s,sa..
that more than squints, if, indeed. it
squints, at indemnity or reparation?
