NO PEACE WITH THE HOHEN.
Z0llERNS,

Surrender, not an armistice, must be
the condition precedent to any talk
about peace. Let Germany give
guarantees that by withdrawal from IN
vaded territory she means withdrawal
from the war. disarmament, demoblli-
cation, that she confesses defeat, has
no purpose to resume hostilities. Let
her give up Metz and Strassburg to be
occupied by Allied garrison forces.
Metz is in Lorraine, Strassburg in
Alsace. There can be no peace, there
should be no armistice, until the two
PROVINCES, both fortresses, have been
restored to France. But it must be an
armistice on land and sea. Let Ger
many give her Navy, with all her sub
marines, into the keeping of the United
States and the nations associated with
US in the war, to be held in trust sub
ject to the decree of international dis
armament and to the requirements Of
the league OF nations tor a naval police
force.
1t Is MOTTO be supposed that Marshal
t'och will assent to cessation of arms
that would give the enemy a resting
spell TO repair and reorganize his shat
tered forces for stouter resistance.
To repair that worst of blunders months
Of effort would be demanded and thous-
ands of brave men would have to give
their lives. Memories of the millions
who have fallen to bring Germany to
defeat will fortity US against yielding
the advantage won by their courage
and their deYotion. No armistice with
out surrender, no peace with the
Hohenzollernsl

THE JEW AS A WARRIOR

The mention of Jewish units fighting
under Allenby for the recovery of
Palestine will arouse interest through
out the world. What centuries have
passed since the Holy Land lastsaw the
standard of Israel waving oyer the
Jewish hosts!
The Jews have long been considered
an unwarlike people, people who re-
veled In the pursuits of peace, but who
seldom won distinction on the field of
battle. Throughout the long and dreary
centuries of the Middle Ages, when the
profession of the fighter was sought
by all who desired power and glory, the
Jew was seldom found with arms in his
hands. He has been the merchant, the
banker. the manufacturer, but not the
warrior.
This IS explained, however, by the
fact that the Jew for many centuries
was not permitted to become fighting
man. AS non-believer he was always
suspected and was never intrusted with
arms.
In the days of his own Israelltish
kingdom there could not be found q
drawer and more determined soldier.
The Old Testament abounds in recltals
of his wonderful valor, of victories won
against terrible odds. In the final down.
fall of his people, when Palestine was
conquered by the trained legions of
Titus, he defended his liberty and his
home with desperate valor which has
never been surpassed.
And now the Jews, after the lapse of
more than eighteen centuries, once
more have an army in the field, are
once more struggling to free the soil
of Israel from the yoke of the oppressor.
The valuable service done by their
contingent under Allenby shows that
the Jewish race has lost none of the
bravery which distinguished it in ancient
days, that 1t has not forgotten the
traditions of Joshua and David.
