Surrender First!

If it is true, as our Washington cor
respondent believes this mo. ming, that
the Allies intend to deliver to Germany
the terms of an armistice with no peace
conditions attached or implied it is news
of profound significance. 1t means that
the Allies have avoided the trap Ger
many set for them when she prevailed
upon President Wilson to submit her re-
quest for an armistice as a step toward
peace negotiations based upon his four
teen points.
Germany, already .hopelessly beaten in
her own heart, hoped desperately to bar
ter the confession of military defeat for
position in peace discussions limited
beforehand to principles and conditions
which the Allies had never accepted. In
every note received by the American
government from Germany and Austria
Hungary, and in every note dispatched
ny Cnc American government 70 Cne ell
cmy, armistice was treated as something
preliminary to and inseparable from
peace negotiations on the basis Of Mr..
Wilson'S fourteen points. And in that
form the correspondence went to Yer
sailles--arnfistic and peace negotiations
like the lesser and greater parts, respec-
lively, Of one and the same thing.
Mr.. Wilson evidently meant it to be So
If the Allies had accepted this situa-
.tion they would have limited peace dis
cussions to the fourteen points.
If they have, as we hope, rejected the
situation, then there is yet the possibil-
ty of reparation. moral punishment and
economic barriers against the sinister
and wicked permeation of things made
in Germany.

neither creed, nor sect,s save as they
serve the one God of all.
It is the people who have done this
thing. Leaders, Of Church as of State,
have not beer quick to point the way. It
was the people of Belgium, OF France,
Of England, finally of America, who at
the call Of duty melted their differences,
their selfishnesses, their fears, and, for
an ideal, went forth to fight as men
have never fought before. No set form
Of words has defined that duty or that
ideal. It has not been war for dogma.
civil or religious. Rather has it been
true peoples war, uprising from the
deepest springs Of devotion and right in
the hearts of men.
AS our fighting men went forth to
serve the nation, so the nation behind
has stepped forth to serve these soldiers
The works Of welfare and comfort and
cheer, for which to-day's great cam
paign enlists the aid of every American

The drain upon our country has been

New-York tribune., 1918-11-03
Spenser Wilkinson, the famous
military critic and professor of
military history at Oxford Uni
uersity. writes:

War, and above al this war, is
spiritual matter, question Of right and
wrong. The military questions involved
in an armistice are technical, but every
one can Judge of the moral problems, for
every one knows in his heart what is
right. Every one knows that We cannot
now honestly and sincerely shake hands
with the Germans and let bygones be by
cones. There cannot be peace and good
will between US and them until some
thing more has been accomplished. That
something more is victory, plain and un-
mstakablc. It is now within our grasp,
and to forego it would be to condone all
the German crimes. No peace that can
possibly result from negotiations with
Germany at the present moment will
satisfy the conscience of our people, to
which the speeches of all our ministers
of every party have repeatedly given ex-
preston. No indemnity, however large,
which Germany may agree to pay, so
long as her fleet and her army have not
been crushed, will satisfy the moral need
of this nation for the vindcation of
right"

TN THESE green fields, in this green

In this green world of burning sweet
That drives its sour from everything
And burns the Arctic with new heat.
That seems SO slow and flies SO feet
On half-seen wing;
In this green world the birds are all
With motion mad, are wild with song:
The grass lears like a sudden wall
Flung up against foe that long
Strobe round and wrought his frosty
wrong.
The bright winds call
The bright winds answer; the clouds rise
White from the grave, shaking their head.
Strewing the grave clothes through the
Skies
In languid drifting shadow shed
Upon the fields where, slowly spread.
Each shadow dies
In every wood is green and gold,
The unbrdged river runs all green
With queenly swan-clouds floating bold
Down to the mills swift guillotine.
Beyond the mill each murdered queen
Floats white and cold
If could rise up in cloud
And look down on the new earth in fight,
Shadow-like cast my thoughts thin shroud
Back upon these fields of light;
And hear the winds of dav and night
Meet, singing loud!

Washington, July 29.-The Special
Commission OF the Japanese Red
Cross which is on its way to Europe
to study American Red Cross war re-
lief work, stopped for a day visit in
this city. Among those who helped
to entertain them were Henry P.
! Davidson, chairman Of the War Coun-
Gil Of the American Red Cross, and
Miss Margaret Wilson.
In an address to the Japanese Mis-
sion, Mr.. Davidson said in part:
II choose to interpret the visit of
this mission as an epress'on by the
people of Japan of their desire for a
! closer fellowship and a letter under
standing of the people of the United
States.
This war is teaching us many les
sons. To me its greatest lesson is
that without love Of ~fellown1an. with
out heart, without charity, without
faih in and understanding Of n an
! other, society can not be successfully
carried on, or life, tn its nobbler
~Esense, be lived.
And these. in essence. are the
ideals Of the Red Cross-ideals which
have aroused the enthusiasm and
solidifed the purpose Of civilized
mankind, ideals epressed so clearly
and beautifully by the President of
the United States. himself recognized
as the worlds chief spokesman for
the cause Of humanity.
Prior to this war. all the other
Red.Cross societies in the world, with
one exception, were like ourselves,
known to their people as potential
ties. rather than great activities.
That exception was the Red Cross So
cfety OF Japan. At the beginning OF
the European war, the American Red
Cross had about 200, 900 members
