Humanity Versus Hunism.
ATLANTA Journal.

It is on these principles that al
lied steps are being taken to pro-
vision the German people now IN
peril Of starvation. Humanity. can
not play the part of Hunism; ma
tions that fought and suffered IN
defense of civilization cannot let Wo-
men and children starve. Our first
great duty was to lay German mil
itarism low, how decisively that has
been done, the acceptance OF Foch's $
arrnistice tc-ns of unconditional sur
render bears witness. That accom-
plished, our next great duty is to
exalt the faith that has sustained us

ed us, so that they may shine as a
