The HohcnzoIIerns Must Go

ONCE more the President Of the United
Estates. as the foremost spokesman of the
enemies of Germany, has laid down the pro-
position that this government cannot treat
with the present government Of Germany
upon the question of peace. In his New York
speech Mr.. Wilson repeated what he had said
in an earlier address to Congress- to the
effect that until the German people set UP
regime which can be trusted to carry out
its covenants, it is useless for that nation
to talk peace.
This means nothing more or less than that
Germany must do some thorough house
cleaning before it again extends its hand to
those powers now at war with it. The pres
ent German government cannot be trusted.
1t has broken faith with Belgium, with Rus
sla, with Roumania and with the United
States. 1t violated Il solemn treaty entered
into years before the war guaranteeing the
neutrality OF Belgium. 1t offered Russia
peace without annexation or indemnities, and
yet at tho council table forced both upon
helpless enemy. 1t assured the Rouman-
ians of the territorial integrity of their coun-
try and yet boldly repudiated that assurance
Ill tho Bucharest treaty 1t agreed on three
separate occasions to sink no more unarmed
ana unresisting vessels without giving the
passengers and crews an opportunity to save
themseve and then deliberately ignored that
agreement.
That group of criminal responsible for
these breaches of faith is headed by Wilhelm
H., Emperor of Germany. No decisive step
has been taken by the German government
except by the order Of its Kaiser He there
lore, is the arch criminal OF the lot His is
the spirit that dominates the German gov
eminent. He is the father of six unscathed
sons, to each of whom he promised u throne
OF some conquered State. He is the embodi-
ment Of that militarism which has plunged
the whole world into q sea Of blood

While the President Goes not withdraw

still insists that it is for the allies to deter
