A loan, Directors * ** * * *** b** * ....... Time to Stop Talking leace. * * * * * , e* e. .. Now that President Wilson's Ines age hits rei'plied to the peace pro osal of the pope, the time has come r all of us to drop peace talk and tiru to war work. There .ure two reasons why it is ol1sh and futile.to talk about peace ow. The first Is that there is no rospect of peace within the next weive monthis. The decision of the resident infallibly points toward a lilitary campaign in 1918 and a mil ary decision growing out of this npaign. The things that Mr. W'it on rightly demands as the basis of eace will not be conceded either by le German government or the Ger tan people, in the present situation Europe. It would therefore be ierely a puerile illusion to continue discussion of peace when peace for iany months is quite impossible. There is a second reason. In ev ry tiuarter of tle world (G-ermian gents and German sympithlizers are 1sy dissei intling the idea that fihe ar Is over anid liUea i i1at han111d, for 1e purpose of weakeni :;4' Ihe a'iuis f Ihose governments wIso are pur1' ain g the war. Tile e(rmV iiian reasons, tat. a nat iion whIi icl believes peace is t. hand will imike less efIfot in its ghiting, and this relaxed effort-as in Ic case of Iussia - ill benefit a ermuany wlieh is still il'reasing, ot slackening, its 'war effort. Thus, i rerywhere in the world ee s today le spectacle of the (erimain at work liking peace. I Tile only Vaiy to aIttalin peace nOW I this world is to ight oIr it. SOme f tlhe greatest hl lies ofe wa1ro v.A un uIestionably remiun1 to be foulht. Ie veen now and the autumn of 11,11 8 'rnan eInsualty list of two mil ons will he a lai'geir contribuition to ermiianieIt peace thana nythiiinug that lie ('an niow see, hoeauise it will be final deionstrution to the Gfrmain cople of the Price of Ihirit pres-nt 'aderslip and tile cost to to tem of the octriles wlil I hey have embaliced n1d followel for the last hal f century. What is deimided by Mr. \\ilson f thle Gewrman people is- that thley lould put awaly the aimbiitions whlichl, it%-(! betn nourislied and cheis'-h'. ev since the unileation of' (;ermieaiiy tarted the ( oliienzollerns on lieir ireer of world ambition aind world iplire. Peace based upon the status nto ante of 191-1 would be a peace 'hich would leave Germany, with 2ference to the rest of the world, in a mndition comparable to that. which disted in France when the long waris r Louis XIV were over and France, Ltact but economically ruined, enter :1 the pathltway that was to lead to the rench revolution. And Mr. Wilson's essage to the pope indientes that er'many must stiffer not merely that Dfeat incident to a return of the sta is quo ante but a further defeat in dent to the surrender of certain ter tories andi to the final extinction of lat dream of a Berlin-o-Bagdad itteleuropa. To talk of peace now whe(n peceC possibly only on terms which mean tremendcouts and tragic German de at, whetheir obtained on the battle eld or iround the green table, is to 1k of something that is still remote. is a rude and grievous task which es ahead of us, The German as itlt upon our* civilization has heen tried and halted. The GermanI 'mles are retreating now; the Ger' lan flood tide of conquest has long go passed; it is ebb tide wherever ie German hxtvadion has rienclued; Lit it is a long way from dead low ater. Mr. Wilson was exactly right lien ho spoke of Germany as balked ]t not defeated. To defeat the ermnans will prove a most diffiult sk, certain now as that defeat is. And it is only by sending hundreds thousands of American troops to rance that we shall insur'e that die at. We arc doing this. The couna y has indicated its readiness to ake every sacrifcec. it is respond ig to the calls of war as nobody >utld have foreseen that It would re ond. And since the work is to be jne, since victory is still to be won y the sword, sInce great sacrifices r' Amei'ica are not only to be madec it are essentIal to the achievement victory, therefore it is wrong, just it Is futIle, to continue to talk, bout peace. We have at least an her year of fighting before us, and all human probability it will be to bitterest and the most expensive ghting in the wvhole struggle. This what we should recognize, This what we should prepare otirselves r. And we sl~all only serve the erman cause if We echo their end 5s and purposeful talk abiout peace. Let us face the fact, The only peace assible can be attained on that day hen Germany is not balked merely, it also defeated unmistakably, and is to that defeat that we must look. is from that defeat that peace will )me, and before that defeat that we iall only delude ourselves and play 10 Germtin game by talking further peace.-New York Tribune, Special prices on Trunks.
