: It Is very refreshing to 'know
how quickly the American public
. responded without a protest to the
.peace offerings of y the ' . Teutonic
.-, tribes. It is more than refreshing
4c realize thnt the, people. 'of this
' tountuy possess : .that humanity
which, will not make the Uvea lost
In battle in this great war, lost in
vain. To know that our national
heart bloods for , poor France and
Belgium to the oxtomt that wewlll
not agree to a peace that will not
five somo restltutlbn for the rav
ages committed. j A , . . .
Iho Observor never has felt that
rresldont Wlliom'a fourteen pre
requisites for peace were sufficient
ly strong. In none of these 'four
teen artlofcs Is "there a word ut
tered about Indemnities for the
French and Belgium people. . Be
that as it may, there will be little
attention paid to the peace screed
which the Teutons have so carefully
sont out around the world. . , ;
: . Until Germany and" Austria bow
the knoe, until those two conn
tries admit to tho world they have
been wrong and show iropentence,
until dovasatlon has left Itself as a
r.ionumunt beforo the Oormun peo
ple to. remind them of what they
porpotiftto'd upon the world, until
the Kaiser,, with all his diabolical
kin nro taken from power' and
pliicod whore they will no longer
Iiavo Influence, then, and not until
then can there be peace talked that
' will bo genuine. ,
For tho presoiit the war will go
on. Victories against German arms
will continue. Right will contlnuo'
In prevail and the Huns will be
- phased from their hiding plnce and
brought out fuco. to face with the
Allies where tho bnttlo of right and
jnstteo , will be won; where the
enrth will be purged of the scum
my Hun and Germnn Kultur will
bo forever' crushed, just as it
should be crushed.
