Have You Voted Confidence In the
Presidents DeclsiOn7

The Presidents decision upon the
German requests has done more. than
to make clear the American measure
OF the essentials of peace. 1t has
given to America itself a crystal Idea
OF the Importance of what must be
done in the four remaining days Of
this week.
We do not doubt that every intelli-
gent American received with Joy the
news that there will be no short cut
to false peace through compromise
with dynasty which has lived by
war and which would have nothing
IN It's mind, IL 1t were admitted to
conference as the representative Of
its subjects, except the plan Of future
and more successful wars.
America knows now that 1t is to be
civilizations incessant battle against
professional war until all Germany
understands and acts, until Germany
has learned something that 1t will
never forget. 1t is to be war until
further wars are made impossible by
the disappearance of the Hohenzol-
Terms.
If Americans were asked to 60 to
the polls to-day and register opinion
for or against the Presidents de
cision, the vote of approval would be
Overwhelming. Well. Germany Is
whiting to hear from something which
Is more than a mere paper ballotlng.
She awaits the result Of the casting
Of our vote of material strength. She
will be listening on Saturday night.
The question upon which America
Is asked to vote Is this: Is the Presi-
dents decision, approved on the lips
and in the hearts of the hundred mil
lions, worthy of the force necessary
TO cram the decision down the Prus-
sian throat? Shall we put gladly into
the hands of the Government the
six billion dollars 1t asks. or shall we,
by failing to oversubscribe the fourth
loan. give to Germany's autocrats the
right to say to their people that the
people of the United States are un-
willing to support the Presidents ex-
preston Of unbending purpose?
'Relaxation now, hesitation now"
says Mr.. WILSON, would mean de-
fear when victory seems to be In
sight; would mean years of war in
stead of peace upon our own terms"
On our own terms and at price so
small, so far as money Is concerned,
that 1t Is no price ut all!
There Is no misunderstanding Of the
situation among the Americans who
are offering their lives In France or
on the sea. AS Germany falters, they
drive on. No American In Europe has
to be reminded Of his duty. He fights
with the fury Of the righteous, but his
strength, his arms, his spirit, depend
upon the support, material and moral,
that comes from this side of the At
iantic. What would the effect be
upon him If the whisper passed down
the battle line next Sunday morning
that the loan had failed?
What would France and England
think of us? What laughter would
not run through Germany?
