GERMAN LAUNDERING.

Blunders in psychology have lost this
war half dozen times for the Germans.
They blundered in psychology when
they thought England wouldn't enter the
war on the invasion of Belgium.
They blundered in psychology when
they thought Belgium and France would
be terrorized into submission.
They blundered in psychology when
they thought America would not enter the
war because of submarine crimes.
And one of their greatest bIunders in
psychology was their gigantic attempt at
blackmail, in the wholesale destruction Of
French and Belgian cities as the German
armies retire. They thought they could
hold up the allies for better peace terms
by the threat to lay waste all occupied
territory But instead of better terms,
they will get far sterner ones, or none at
all except unconditional surrender.
The wanton destruction has merely en-
ragged the civilized world. The new U-boat
campaign is adding to the fierce anger
that is burning against the Hun.
Had it not been for his blunders in psy-
chology, the Hun would have won this war
months, perhaps years, ago. And now the
same fatal inability to understand the
mind of a courageous, decent, civilized
world is going to prevent him getting all
eagerly sought peace.

tion.
First, Germany has always held out the
promise of indemnities to meet her war
costs. She has financed the war largely
by loans, confidently counting that the al
lied nations would be forced to pay these
loans.
Secondly, the war bonds, which were
formerly first mortgage in the German
nation, now become a second mortgage.
The claims of the Allies for the restOra-
ton Of France and Belgium will have to
be met first, even if it necessitates the can
collation. of German bonds, and the fact
that she must meet this claim is just be-
ginning to enter German consciousness.
Germany is as close to financial bank
ruptcy now as she is to moral bankruptcy.

REVOLUTION OR SURRENDER.

''No parley with Huns; no peace with
kaisers.
That is the substance of President Will
son 3 second note to Prince Maximilian fol-
lowing the acceptance by the present Ger
man government of the terms laid down
by the President.
As was quite generally forseen, the
third point" raised by President Wilson
in his first note, was the great bar to peace.
We can have no peace treaty with the au-
toeratic and morally bankrupt govern
ment which secretly plotted this war and
forced it on the world. There can be mo
peace with kaisers.
Nor can we consider an armistice with
armies that are wantonly destroying the
richest part of France for no military rea-
SON, or with navies that are violating all
rules of civilized warfare with their afro
cious submarine crimes We can have 'no
parley with Huns" but if they reform,
our military commanders will consider the
subject of an armistice.
The note goes as far toward the desired
> goal of unconditional surrender" as can
be demanded by any but those who want to
see the Allies lower themselves to the Ger
man level and perpetrate the crimes that
have made the name of Germany anathema
to the civilized world. Such persons, of
course, are entitled to no consideration.
Justice has staggering bill for presenta-
tion to the Hun, without adding to it the
claims of our own blood lust and wild
thirst for revenge.
And low, enough of peace notes.
It is time to consider the danger Of
which Senator Lodge gave warning. Let
us break off this exchange of billets-doux
between Washington and Berlin, and per-
NIT Marshal Foch to continue his form Of
diplomatic correspondence with the en-
envy. Perhaps we are driving wedge be-
tween the German people and the German
government, and perhaps we are not One
thing is certain; there will be no revolu-
ton in Germany until the German military
machine has been shattered and lost the
confidence of the German people. And it
is a question If the peace talk is not doing
as much harm to our own morale by build
ing up an over confidence, as it is to Ger
many's. 1t has seriously handicapped the

altogether too much talk about the early
ending of the war. The German army is
suffering tremendous blows, but as yet it
is retiring in good order toward the bor-
der, and all the fighting still is on French
and Belgian soil. Months of sustained ef-
fort may be needed to deal the knockout
blow to Germany, if her armies can be

Germany may answer the note. Prob
ably she will, but any further correspond
ence from the present government of Ger
many or any member of it, can safely be
ignored. Germany's next real move must
be a revolution or unconditional surrender.
Until she makes her choice, the less con-
versation we have with her, the better.

IRELAND NAY
EXPERIENCE
CONSCRIP ton

Dublin, Sept. 3O.--( Correspondence
of the Associated Press. IRELAND
soon may become a "patchwork
quilt of conscription districts and
non -conscription districts. according
to members of the Irish recruiting
council, whose allotted time for rails
ing $4,000 volunteers as an alterna-
tive to conscription. is drawing TO a
close, with the allotment as yet ur1-
! filled.
The council, which is composed of
five Irishmen, representing all par
ties. has divided the country into ten
districts, with a quota for each, and
has arranged with the government
that in districts which fill their quo-
tas. conscription will not be applied,
even though the total Of volunteers
falls below the required $4,000 men.
1t is generally predicted that some
of the districts will fall far short Of
their quotas. And there, conscrip-
ton is expected to be inaugurated
even at the cost of resistance.
Traditional Hostility.
The objection of many young
1rishmen to enterting the army, and
the traditional Irish hostility to the
war Office is being met by recruiting
agents by pointing out the special
attractions of the Royal Air force.
This service is not under control OF,
the war office. and it has the added
advantage of having many non fight
ing positions.
Political feeling runs high, how
ever, and the class of young men,
who make the best soldiers, the
missile troop. are not volunteering
In large numbers.
Two or three members of the Irish
parliamentary party have identified
themselves with the recruiting cam
paign. but the party, as a whole. has
held aloof
Side by side with the operations of
the recruiting council, Colonel
Lynch member of parliament, is
conducting crusade of his own
with the view of organizing bri-
gade which he hopes to command
Colonel Lynch fought on the side of
the Beers against Great Britain, but
his feelings towards the present war
have led him to lay aside all racial
feeling and come out on the side OF
the allies.

to the boys, but it would chronicle how Frazier

is easy. They just waiting quietly until

to the polls to vote for Doyle. BY the same
token why are the Frazierites so silent about
discussing with Mr.. Doyle the important ques-
tions that now confront the people of the
