NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ., 1918
GERMANY MUST BE PUNISHED.

Senator Lodge put it correctly when
he said an armistice now would mean
loss of the war by the allies. Prince
Macmillan, the kaiser's new chan
cellor, is a clever talker. He knows
how TO disguise his language. He
talks Of accepting the presidents
peace conditions as the basis for me-
gotiations. Nothing Of the sort Will
be permitted by the allies.
Germany has perpetrated horrible
crimes against civilization and she
must be made to suffer for her sins
Belgium must be restored and indem-
nified as far as it is possible for her
to secure reparation from her de-
spoilers. Germanys scheme is to have
all the powers engaged in the war
participate in the Naturalization.
The Hun is Whispering now. Even
Prince MaMmilian talks of it being
4 defensive warfare. Soon there VIII
he expressions of sympathy by GER
tain class Of people in the United
States-that class typified by the
woman who used to carry bouquets
to the cell of the condemned MUIR
derer
There is no more deadly germ cul-
ture in all the world of morals than
sloppy sympathy with thinSs satanic.
When the peace council finally is
called, we may expect these senti-
4sentalists to be Ut the door with Pc
titions a mile long ASKING that all the
imperial thugs and their epauletted
accomplices from Potsdam to Bag
dad be parolled on promise of good
behavior. with solemn warning never,
never to be naughty again.
The true temper of the Hun can
never be seen clearly except in the
hour of victory. Then he is an un-
disguised wolf. AS soon as he is
driven back little from his prey he
begins to whimper and promise.
When Germany is thoroughly
whipped the kaiser and all his Won
Murderers will plead, profess and
promise. They will take holy orders
if necessary to escape punishment
The war will be miserably lost, If the
court of adjudication does not make
the penalty fit the crime as nearly as
any agency less than God himself can
do 1t.
While the German army was ad-
yancing the kaiser talked OF the
ENABLED fist" of the "old German
God" of "kultur" Of shining armor, "
of "the will to victory" Along with
such CUFF the soldiers in the field per-
petrated nameless outrages on men,
! women and children. The Lusitania
was torpedoed and the monster who
directed the missile was decorated.
Nurse Cavell was shot, contrary to
every sanction of military law, the
captain of an English merchant ship
was executed because he tried to sink
O submarine that was attacking HIM
seventeen members of the crew of
captured ship were placed on the deck
of a German submarine and the YES
sci then submerged in an icy sea.
The stories of Louvain and a hun
dred other ravaged Belgian anc
French cities and towns have beer
told in all their fearful details. We
have heard with a shiver of horror
the stories of the thousands of womer
of Belgium and France turned ovei
by official order to the lust Of a brutal
soldiery.
But why enumerate? Nothing like
the things done by the Germans ha'
been perpetrated, except by the Turks
for more than thousand years. Fol
these things Germany must suffer II
punishment merited by her crimes.
