GERMAN PUBLICATIONS TO GO.

Would the Huns permit newspa-
per to be printed in the English Ian
guage n Berlin or Germany? Well
hardly. Then why permit German
newspapers to be printed in German
in this country?
The above from the New York Eve
ming Telegram then, as says. the
Washington Herald, to continue dur
ing the war the teaching of German
is doing exactly what our enemy, the
Germans, desire.
Our boys in khaki were in the first
line trenches Thursday. Doubtless
many have been killed by the Ger
mans. How can we reconcile this sac
rifce with a continuance of or persis-
tence in German propaganda in this
country.
The most popular bill ever introduc-
ed IN Congress would be a bill to
make it unlawful for any publication
to be printed in the German language.
Can any sane person believe for mo-
ment that an English paper would be
permitted to circulate in Berlin or in
Germany, to say nothing of Germany
conniving at its publication. That is
exactly what we are Going in this
country.
No paper in the English language is
allowed or would be allowed for mo-
ment TO be published in Germany. The
German publications here are undoubt-
eddy spreading German propaganda
and stirring up among the people who
read them disloyalty t. AZ. Ameriea, their
adopted country. They are constantly
belittling the part that America and
the allies are taking in the war.
There is shortage OF paper on
which to print newspapers, magazines.
ETC.. in the English language. The
book publishers are curtailing their
publications Of books because Of the
shortage, and yet the government is
allowing paper to be consumed by
publications printed in the language
of the nation we are fighting.
TRANSPORTATION facilities are con-
gested, fuel is short and everybody
is called upon to bear their burden
of these conditions, and yet transport
tation of paper to these German pub
locations and of the finished products
they serve just so much increase the
nations congestion, shortage o. fuel,
etc.

before the drive began JHindenbarg
was in, Berlin, and was confronted by
the probability that Che Socialists
would refuse to vote any more credits
to the Government. He overcame this
by promising peace by August This
is evidently part Of the negotiation
now reported by way of Washington
by the terms of which he will have a
free hand to sacrifice German HE
without stint if the casualties 40 rot
run over 100000, in return fro which
he promises them peace by August.
And if the 100000 men shall be
killed and wounded, and yet Germany
shall be as far off. as ever from the
wealth of America, England and
France, what then? Will the Social
lists refuse money votes and demand
the peace that was promised them
If they do not, they will have tc

they were desperate at the prospect OF
fourth. The windfall OF Russia
nerved them for a fourth, but no more
windfalls will come their way. There
are no more Russias.

THE KAISER WEEPs.

The kaiser has again visited the
fighting front in order to weep over
the horrors of warfare there displayed,
according to dispatch TO the Lokal
Anzciger. "What haven't done to
preserve the world from these hor-
rors?' he is quoted as saying.
The Baltimore Sun recalls the old
story of Louis XI and Cardinal Baluc.
The latter, for long time the close
friend of the monarch, at length
turned traitor, or Louis suspected him
of being one, and was imprisoned. In
stead of throwing him into dungeon,
however, the king had him locked IN
a cage, which he thought the cardinal
could hardly object to, as he himself
had invented it for another. The cage
was suspended from the ceiling OF a
room which was connected by pr!-
vate passageway with the kings own
apartments, and thither Louis came
daily to weep over the sad incarcera-
ton of the cardinal.
Like his fellow-ruler of four cen
turics ago, thc,kaiser weeps over mis-
cries which he himself has inflicted
There is one big difference, however
in the two cases. Louis could have
ended the suffering of the cardinal by
a movement of his finger. The kaiser
has set Juggcrnaut in motion which
he could not stop now if he would
Eternal infamy is the price he must
pay for succumbing to the temptations
of ambition and the lust for conquest
No wonder he wecps! No wonder he
seeks the towards refuge of attempt
ing to blame it on others

Won JAGoW's TESTIMONY.

In his reply to the memorandum Of
Prince Lichnowsky, which completely
destroyed Germany's~ pretcnse Of be-
ing forced into the war, Herr Won
Jagow, minister for foreign affairs
from 1913 to 1916, says:
II do not intend to adopt the theory,
now widespread among us, that Eng.
land was the originator of all the in
trigues leading to the war. On the
contrary, | believe in Sir Edward
Crcy's love of peace and his genuine
desire to arrive at an understanding
with US, but he had allowed himself
to become too hopelcssly cntangled in
the network of Franco-Russian policy.
He could find no way out, and there,
fore failed TO do that which had been
in his power to prevent the world war.
War was not popular among the Eng
lish people, therefore Belgium had to
serve as d battle cry"
This destroys the German case as
completely as the memorandum of the
late German ambassador at London,
says contemporary. The German
case is that England forced the war
because the English people were jeal-
Gus Of German commercial expansion
and hated the Germans, and desired
to destroy them, and because Edward
VII had conspired with France and
Russia to compass Germany's destruc-
ton, and Sir Edward Grey's peace pro-
posals were insincere, and he designed
to bring on the war.
And now not only the former Ger
man ambassador to London, but the
former German secretary for foreign
affairs eNplodes this whole invention
by recognizing the sincerity of Sir Ed
wards efforts to avert war.
The comment of Captain Pcrsius in
the, Berlin Fageblat is that; an under
standing ought to be easier now that

sources; from Won Jagow and Lich--

PEACE RESOLUTIONS.

The history Of the German peace
resolutions of July 10 last, given in
part by Count Reventlow and in part
by the Berlin Taegliche Rundschau,
confirms the belief that there is no
peace sentiment in Germany except
that produced by fear OF defeat. It is
suggested by an exchange that the So
cialists have had less confidence in vic
tory since the first year than the nil
1&,y and the Junkers, but tney
.,aG .as.i money for The startling m
.e7 he army in 1913, and they
--ar siastic for the war in 1914,
H.. 3, 5 they began to show signs

" re party, read a letter from

who authorized him to read

nee with this letter the

would not commit himself to peace
by agreement or compromise. and was
dismissed to crafty the Centre-So-
cialist combination. Mchaelis would
not commit himself to it, but tried
evasions Of various sorts, and after
few months resigned. Before he
would take the Chancellorship Hert-
ling consulted the leaders CT the
Reichstag, and their demands ignored
the peace resolutions. Later the
Reichstag leaders remembered the
peace resolutions and Informed Hert-
ling Of this, whereupcN he threaten
Ell to resign, because he is the servant
Of the Kaiser, who is disposed TO have
. few more millions Of his subjects
Killed rather than open negotiations
for compromise peace, which the al
lies had shown not the slightest dis
position to consider.
AT this threat the leaders Of the
majority, or militant, Socialists, ac-
cepted the Governments program Tor
annexing French territory and the
coasts of Flanders and lerying large
indcmnities en- the allied nations. With
this. evidently, goes the agreement OF
tho Socialists to support the Govern
ment for the present, aud the promise
Of Hindenburg 20 conquer peace by
August
There seems to be 10 difference he
tween the beIligerencc Of the Social
lists and the Kaiser, except that the
former are moderately disposed to
limit the amount CT life to be sacrIiic
cd for territory and treasure. THAI: Is

frightful sacrifices among the Social
