OFFICIAL PEACE At LAST.

The final unconditional surrender
of the German government is officially
announced. Germany wrIthed to the
last, but it submitted. 1t protested
against the "cruelty' of the terms, and
in the last days of fielding it added
one more shameless breach OF fatth
TO the Infamous record. 1t sank its
ships after they had been surrendered.
The surrender came just five years
after the death of the Austrian arch
duke at Serajivo.
But now that the peace treaty is
Signed, the darkest hour of Germany
humiliation is over, and we believe
there will be a reaction in the German
nation which will result in reconstrue-
ton of sentiment, in the shedding Il
the militaristic skin in the passing of
the repulsive superman belief.
For a time the Germans may give
way to emotion, They may lie on the
ground and threaten to 20 mad. tut
the German people are capable OF
quick recovery when they have the
blessed consolation of eating, u'lnk-
ing and plentiful amusement in a
tranquil, Well-ordered life.
Significant and hopeful IS the N'nd
of reasoning that appears il tine COM
ment of the Neue Gazette on tue *nk-
ing of the German warshlps at SCapa
Flow;
IF the action carries with it injurt-
Gus results for Germany ii must be re
GREETED. for Germany is hardly in a
position to indulge in the luxury OF
heroic noses, and the brief satisfac-
ton of appearing before the world IN
this Bengal illumination may have TO
be paid for in cash.
The more the new Germany adopts
this prudent line of thought and shows
it means it, the better place will Ger
many be to live in and the more rapid
" will improve its relations with 9TH
er nations.
History cannot too strongly empha-
size or too wildly and impressiyely set
forth the painful nature of the punish
ment to which nation that followed
Germany's example would render
itself liable.
Meanwhile the world will breathe
easier at the conclusion of nearly five
years of unspeakable horror that
came upon humanity because of Ger
manys ambition to rule and exploit
and plumber.
