If Germany still proudly believes that “war is WAr”, is she repentant, and honest in her call for aid: or is her call the cry of the wounded beast at bay,—depleted in man-power, sa- tanic inventions exhausted?

To be sure, it what we can to extinguish a our neighbor's premises; if cause tie nvighbor deserves vet, because fire, uncontrolled, spread to our own property. The Allies should by all means go to Germany's rescue; but not softly, and only under the selfless Leader- ship of Principle,-—the uncompromis ing hand of God,—whose stern jus tice lets the enemy reap what he has sown. If Germany's internal fire can not be put out through self-reformation, then may the Allies send to her aid, the expcrienced firemen who have so far extinguished the once world- threatening conflagration, and whose first duty it shall further be to con- fine the fire to Germany. the place of its origin, while they then do thei best to save all Ml the enemy’s domain that is worth saving. Of the two forms of selfishness conspicuously before the world today, it seems difficult to say which is the worse or the more wicked, the selfish peace-breaker or the selfish peace- maker. The Allies the to do fire on not be- a hand, might is only wise pretty sure of ar- resting and justly punishing the peace-breaker, if their peace-victory proves as uncompromisingly wise, as was their war-victory over Germany and her dupes: but the selfish would- be peace-makers are not confined to the defeated ecnemy's country: the sad situation seems to be, that the victorious nations are filled with self- ish, or self-deceived, false sentiment makers, who, in their zeal to out-do each other in showering flowers of forgiveness upon unrepentant crim- inals threaten to nndo the noble work, done on the bloody battlefields by the best manhood of the world, thousands upon thousands of whom can never return to speak to us of their dying struggles. May their ab- sence and ominous silence. rather than the still “made in German sympathy, touch the nearts of those whose duty it will to sit at the peace-table There is little danger that Gern will be punished too severely for her innumerable heinous crimes.
