WHO WILL JUDGE?

Germany must soon come to the judgment seat and make
answer to that civilization that she has outraged, and whose laws
she has fagrantly transgrcssed. Who will be the Judge and jury?
The allies, of course, will have the power. and when issues are
submitted to the arbitrament of arms the victors render the YER
dict and pronounce the sentence, after fixing the punishment.
But the allies will be sitting in judgment on their own case, and
in such capacity they will occupy a tcklish position. 1t will be a
trying position as we'll; but there seems to be no other way out
of it. Neutral nations cannot be called upon, because those who
have fought and suffered will insist on fixing the penalty. That
it will be severe may be expected. Justice demands that it be
severe, and it will require great severity to make the punishment
fit the crime.
As a matter Of fact. there are no neutral nations. Some
have not actively engaged in the war, but all have suffered seri-
ously, i. indirectly. Nevertheless the Germans should be treated
as other criminals are treated, with the exception that the pre-
sumption OF innocence must be withheld from them, The whole
world is convinced Of their guilt. There is no denying it or
mitigating it. The only question is the character and extent Of
The punishment to be inflicted.
The German people, millions OF whom are yet unborn, will
be taxed for generations TO pay for the damage done, and it
would not be prudent in us to take from our defeated enemy the
means OF producing the wealth necessary to repay us for the
damage that has been inflicted on us. The German must be
reduced and rendered harmless, but it will not be necessary to
destroy him, utterly. As a military menace he must be stripped
and rendered nnocuous, but as an industrial and economic force,
that can perform a considerable portion of the work OF the world,
Germany should be left free to perform her allotted task, however
great and toilsome that task may be. The judges will not be dis
posed to temper justice with mercy, but they may we'll stop
short of humiliation. Ahclpless debtor is one who cannot pay.
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth was demanded Of old,
but the world has been growing away from the idea for centuries
Besides, in the final accounting, it will likely be found that the
allies have taken as nauy eyes and teeth as they have lost.
Prussian militarism should be driven from the face of the earth,

FOUND OUT

One thing the Memphis public should bear in mind in con
nection with the peace hoax put over on 1t is that the talSehood
was discovered before it was confessed.
II is now admitted that the only dispatch received carried
the brief announcement that the armstne was signed at IL
o'clock Thursday morning, and that firing ceased at z o'clock in
the afternoon.
As late as Friday noon the local paper insisted that the
censorship was keeping out the real news, evidently hoping that
later developments might correspond with and sustain state
ments made "a hours before they happened.
Newspaper war correspondents are supposed to be with the
armies. Why an American admiral should pretend to speak on
a matter over which Marshal Foch is the supreme and only
authority may seem strange, but not so strange as the accept
ancc Of his statement by a man of average intelligence. MOI
every newspaper man would accept the statement even OF a rear
admiral that the firing had ceased if he was within hearing OF
the roar Of guns.
Friday it was admitted that only one brief bulletin was
received, yet Thursdays paper carried what were alleged to be
cables from Paris, two or three OF them, one from Brest and one
from Berlin, which, it was announced, corresponded with the
other news. .
On the basis OF that one brief bulletin two extras and the
regular editions Of the paper were issued, making four or five
in all. Each, successive edition pretended to supplement the
original story, compounding falsehood with fraud.
Still anticipating that the armiSice might go through FRI
day, even if it had failed Thursday, the paper ds~regarded a
statement made by Secretary Lansing, upon the authority and at
the request of the president, and insisted that the greatest
censorship in history appears to be deeing news from Europe"
a yelled but none the less insidious charge that President Wilson
was suppressng the news,
The fault pcrpetrated at the other end OF the wire, repre-
hcnsible as it was, was not the most grievous offense. The
cxaggeration, elaboration and refusal to admit it until it was
proved, and then with an abb that was scarcely less offensive
than all that went before, constitute the real basis OF the public
complaint.
