Only Unconditional Surrender
Demands Press Of United States

| NEW YORK WORLD Coming
from any honest and respectable gov
eminent, such reply as Germany has
made to President Wilson's inquiries
| might safely be accepted as an uncon-
ditional surrender. Coming from the
German government, 1t must be
! accepted for what it is-an offer of
surrender without :. security
whatsoever for compliance with any
provisions Of promise.
CHICAGO TRlBUNE-While the.
German army is still in formidable be.
ing, to enter into discussion is to in
vite disaster. An armistice purchased
at the price Of a mere evacuation of
invaded territories would be an excel
lent bargain for Germany from the
point of view of the present perilous
German military situation. We should
be foolish indeed to grant it.
PHILADELPHIA NORTH AMERI-
cAN-We do not pretend to deny that
Germany's answer to President Will
sons queries makes an early peace
possible But If there is any sanct-
ity in the worldwide demand for a
peace of justice and permanency, If
there is any need for the final over
throw of autccracy and the destruction
of its military power, then civilization
was never nearer to the abyss of dis
aster than it is at this hour
BOSTON POST-Let Germany re-
call its submarine fleet and surrender
it. Let it surrender it's high seas fleet,
as we'll. Let it permit the allies to
occupy Heligoland and Kiel. EVacuate
and surrender Metz and the whole
string of forts along the Rhine. With
guarantees similar to these it would be
safe to suggest an armistice. Without
them an armistice is unsafe.
ST. LOUIS GLOBE DEMOCRAT
The German government is but little
changed in personnel and not at all in
character.
WASHINGTON PosT-The mere
fact that Germany ostensibly accepts
President Wilson's program of world
peace does not justify any one in pre-
suming that President Wilson must
proceed to negotiate with the enemy.
There may be a thousand reasons why
he will not do so, and one reason alone
is sufficient: Fhe enemy is unbeaten.
No peace conference will be held
while Germany holds sword in her
hand.
WORCESTER (MAss.) TELE-
GRAM-There is but one condition
that can save the Hun from the grind

NEW HAVEN (CONN.) COURIER

Hypocrites and Cranks

Nearly every town harbors man who de-
lights cursing 'the damned church cranks and
hypocrites." He can't talk on topic without in
terpoating profane remark against the church
hypocrites and cranks, as if the church were
gigantic stockade in which all the liers and moral
outcasts of the world were cornered. 1t never en-
ters his benighted mind that he is somewhat of
crank himself, if not hypocrite of the first wa
ter.
The church has its share of hypocrtes and
cranks, men of narrow vision, men who cloak
ugly souls under SNUG countenances, men who
cheat and lie six days.in the weak while they try
to salve their conscences by going to church on
Sundays. But outside of the pale of the church
are thousands and millions of men who are not a
whit better than some of the hypocritical church
goers. Every organization, lodge society, assoc
iation and club has members who do not meas
ure up to the high standards of moral rectitude
and probity. The proportion of cranks and hypo-

superficial investigation of the careers of
many men who continually harp on the number
of cranks and hypoc-ites in the churches will US
ually show that they themselves belong in the
front rank of the class they stigmatize as
"cranks and hypocrites.' The church is not free
from faults. It's members have not attained
complete sanctification. But to allege that the
church is to blame for all the evils that are ram
pant and that all church goers are hypocrites
because they profess to be religious, is going too
far in the other extreme.
