"The Allies are fighting for a prin-
ciple the maintenance of which affects
the future of civilization. If they do
not achieve it, they have sacrificed
the flower of their youth and mort
gagged their future for century. The
Allies cannot concede peace until they
conquer it. When they do so, It will
be permanent. Otherwise they fail.
Germany alone is responsible for
the incalculable destruction of this
war. She led on in the armament Of
the world that she might rule it. She
promoted therefore the armament Of
other nations. Her system was fol-
lowed, though not as effectively, by
other countries in pure defense Of
their peace and safety.
Intrigue, dishonor, cruelty, have
characterized the entire military pol
icy of Germany. The rules of inter-
national law have been cast to the
winds. The murderous submarine has
sunk without warning the non-com-
Blatant commercial vessels Of the enc
my and sent their officers, their crews,
and their passengers, men, women
and children to the bottom without
warning.
Having violated the neutrality Of
Belgium, having broken its sacred OBJ
legations to that country and her peo-
pie, it is now enslaving them by TAX
ing them from Belgium and enforcing
their labor in Germany. This Is con-
trary to every rule Of international
law, and is in defiance of the plainest
principles Of justice and honor.
president Wilson says the Allies
are fighting to make the world safe
for democracy. Some misconception
has been created on this head. The
Allies are not struggling to force a
particular form Of government on
Germany. II the German people con-
tinue to wish an Emperor, it Is not the
purpose Of the Allies to require them
to have a republic. Their purpose is
to end the military policy and for
eign policy Of Germany that looks to
the maintenance OF a military and
naval machine, with its hair-trigger
preparation for use against her neigh
bors. II this continues, 1t will entail
on every democratic government the
duty Of maintaining a similar arma-
ment in self-defense, or, what is more
likely, the duty will be wholly or par
TALLY neglected. Thus the policy Of
Germany with her purpose and des-
tiny, will threaten every democracy.
This is the condition which Il Is the
determined purpose Of the Allies, as
Interpreted by President Wilson, to
change.
How is the change to be effected?
BY defeating Germany in this war. A

BOIShcyil1i for Surrender.

Petrograd, Feb. A CBy the Asso- ciated Press. s.)-Acceptance by the Bolsheviki government of the Ger man peace terms followed a stormy rgumentative night meeting at the Snolyny institute. Leon Trotzky did not attend but Premier Lenine urged acceptance Of the terms and the Bol- shevik delegates, voting virtually as a unit, swung the tide with him. A Bolshevik party conference had prev iously voted 72 for peace and 26 against. with 12 abstaining.
 The social revolutionary members fought against acceptance of the terms and insisted upon the as sembling of Q new constituent as sembly to pass upon them in their final form.
 The Bolshevik newspaper Pravda says the peace terms are unfortunate but unavoidable. It says the struggle is more imperialistic than domestic and that the Russian proletariat is not responsible for the harsh terms. The bourgeoise newspapers do not comment on the situation.
