Press of america Resents
Foes NelU Peace Offensive

Chicago Tribune; From the Ger
man response it is apparent that the
ruling powers at Berlin now look
complete defeat in the face. There
is but one mind in America on this
war, that it shall go on to victory, to
the utter destruction of Prussian
militarism and TO the establishment
of peace founded on its ashes.
Houston Post: The latest Ger
man note indicates the earnest Ger
man desire for peace, but not a
willingness to take the one step to
secure peace, which is uncondi-
\ tional surrender. The armistice,
lGermany's immediate objective is
not to be gained through diplomacy,
and is therefore matter to be de-
termined by Commander-in- Chief
Foch and not the president.
Salt Lake City Telegram: Ger
many's latest note is not such as will
justify the hope that the hour of
peace has dawned. The Hun in
directly admits error, because he
talks of reforms both in conduct Of
government and conduct of war
fare, but beyond this indirect admis-
sion he denies everything. He shows
no remorse, no spirit OF repentance.
Rocky Mountain News (Den-
ver): Neither statute or constitu-
ton can change the heart of peo-
pie, and the German heart is still for
the kaiser, still for war as a means
to an end and still unrepentant of
her crimes against humanity. We
say again, let Marshal Foch decide.
Kansas City Journal: The adroit
German foreign office has placed the
burden of continuing the CORE
spondence upon the president. But
if President Wilson is we'll advised,
he will ignore this whining, blub-
bering, lying and quibbling answer
and go on with the war until Ger
many is we'll whipped - and con-
fesses it.
Montgomery Advertiser: The
German note is step toward peace,
but by negotiation.
1t eXasperates rather than mollifies
the great body of public sentiment

= the German fundamental law has
been changed SO as to give the peo-
pie full representation and the right
to veto, what guarantee can Ger
many give that as soon as the pres
ent difficulty is over these rights
will not again be taken away from
the people? The entire Germanic
conversation has been a waste OF
time and a diversion from the main
thing.
Austin (Texas) Americana: When
the kaiser replaces on the babes of
Belgium the hands his soldiers
chopped off-when he restores the
virtue OF the women whom his SOL
diers outraged-When our dead sons
are returned to liie-maybe we will
talk peace, but until then we are 60

Pine Bluff (Ark.) Graphic: After
The German armies have surrendered
their arms Internationally. it will
be ample time to talk peace. not
before. Further negotiations
with lying government should not
be indulged in The latest note is
from the kaiser through Prince Max
and is backed by the German peo-
pie.
Dallas (TeXas) News: The note
is altogether unsatisfactory. The
strong and sinister personality OF
the kaiser must go before negotia-
tons can proceed. AS for denial OF
atrocities, Germany should not be
permitted to come TO the peace table
with a lie on her lips. Protestations
promises and tears cannot be per

seen in other settings.
