ON TO BERLIN.

Again the President has
spoken with the voice of Amer
lea and for the civilized ma
tons of the earth. Again, and
for the last time. he has told
Germany that peace cannot be
discussed while HOhenzol-
lern wears the imperial crown
and while the satanic practices
of the Hun proceed at sea and
in the field.
When the torpedo, the torch
and the bayonet are no longer
welded against women and
children and when the Kaiser
and his bloody house are visit
ed with punishment or obliv-
ion, then only can the allied
Generals in the field be author
lied to consider an armistice
with the beaten armies of the
enemy. Nor will that armis-
tice surrender one point of
military advantage or forego
one safeguard-in brief, as the
Courier-Journal said two days
ago, the German troops must
stack their arms on the battle
line.
II means more than uncon-
ditional surrender by Germany.
II opens the way to much more
than military triumph surpass-
ing any ever enjoyed by Caesar
or Napoleon. For it prepares
the greatest liberation of the
soul Of man that has come
since Christ trod the streets of
Jerusalem. The brutal, AFRO
CANT, goddess power that has
turned the simple German peo-
