TRUE 10 FORM

lnsolent in the extreme was the
reply of German spokesman to brief
speech of Premies Clemenseau when
the peace treaty was presented to the
Hun delegates. His attitude, his
vain attempt TO assume position OF
position OF equality In the negotiu-
tions, his arrogant attempt to deny
tho guilt of the Huns, his justlfica.
tion of the barbaritles committed by
his countrymen, one and all indicate
that the Hun has not changed lie
Is stlll n barbarian. His kultur has
not faded.
Every word OF Brockdroff-Ra -Rantzau
bears out the observation OF cores
pOndents that the German people arc
not cOnsclour OF the awful crimes
they have committed against man
kind. They do not regret the war.
They regret only the fact that thev
lost. They are not penitent.
That being 30, years must elapsg
before they can bo accepted into any
league of nations or any association
of civilized peoples. Whether they
sign the treaty Of peace or have to
bo starved into further submission
they must be watched and every pre-.
caution taken TO see that they do not
again seep the world in waves Of
blood.
Tho attitude of tho Hun dele.
gates gives added reason for the
strict terms OF the peace treaty. The
Hun has proven he Is still q beast
lie must be Gagged There exists no
reason for permitting him loose I'm
the family OF nations, or for weaken
in the bars that holds him back from
alnking his claws into the bodies on.

That tho whole world is relieved
by the knowledge that the peace con-
ference has stripped tho Hun OF has
power for evil, ana that 80 far as bel
can he must pay for his damnablp
outrages against the laws of bod aud
man. When the German people learn
the sentence Imposed upon thcm uLd
writton indellbly upon tho scrolls OF
history they will have an appreCld-
tion OF what civilization means. Thov
will know that their yauntod kutu |
was base dolulslon, a mockery to |
themselves. a false idol whose Wo.
ship wrought their destruction.
Yet how liberal are those terms |
compared with the toll that Germany |
was 20 take had Victory rested with |
her arms. Before delaying accop |
anco OF the terms imposed II will b |
well for the Germans TO recall what |

the question of its ultimate location
still subject to further action Of the

to be in full operation within ninety

which is interpreted to mean that the

For some time the Americans have
taken but a mild interest in whatever
activities of Count von Bernstorff have
appeared On the surface of the news
in the German papers, but they will
have but a s%cornful smile for the
Frankfurter Zeitung's announcement
that the ex-plotter at Washington has
been recalled from Constantinople be-
Berlin needs someone with can
adequate knowledge of America" just
now. B%ernstorff's Knowledge of
America" has never amounted to more
than iEsolent ignorance or malicious
misjudgment. His advice to the kaiser,
framed to suit the kaiser's ear, helped
much to bring disaster upon Germany,
says Philadelphia Record. That diSas-
ter is at hand, and of all men that
might mitigate the blow BelmStorff is
the least competent to aid.

KEEP CHILDREN IN SCHOOL.
/. T.. KEHMSTEDT, Prop.

1t has been found that high wages
paid for labor, and the high cost of
living have served to, take many chill
dren from the schools. An organized
effort is being made by the national
children's bureau of the department Of
labor to correct the evil. Evil is what
it is, and a very serious one. There
has not been a time in the history Of
the nation when the need of trained
minds has been greater than it will
be in the years following the close of
the war. There is to be a period of re-
construction and readjustmept that
will call for the best thought of the
nation. The boys and girls of today
will soon be the men and women Of
the country, and the future welfare of
the nation will be committed to their
care, says Knoxville Journal and Trib-
une. What is to be done must not be
left to political demagogues who care
much more for themselves than they
do for their country. There must be
men and women who can see through
such dcmagogues and put them to 81
lence. While we are engaged in the
training and preparation of millions of
men for military service, the boys and
h girls should be trained for oppor-
tunities and demands for services of
skilled men and women as we'll.
