When Germany wast told last night that peace could be had pro vided Germany WUB put In such position, by the AIII03 she could not .- resume hostilities, nnd that no ar mistice will bo considered unlesit the. Allies hold the situation '. In . hand to,, such an extent they will- bo nblo; to enforce any peace., mea euros agreed upon by the- Allies and Germany, the final word was spoken, to the Gorman Empire and hor co-warring, nations, President WIIboh can well close th boob No more notes, no more .- official or unofficial rumors or peace until Germany considers last night's message. And still, no, more peace talk unless Germany accepts the mandate . of the United - States- con tained in that message. Everyone underrdnnds the lost note, it means tin unconditional surrondor of Germany, Of course, it. permits the usual dlpldmatio tac- : tics,, tho rtmnd-tha-corner mothod ot giving up, but in the lust analy sis. It moans that tho Allies nro go, lng to hold, Germany's hands high in tho air and take her guns away from her. Tho war lords have got their prescription,: Let I hem mouth and wince and whlno all they ploaso, but there will.be no change. 1 Germany Is given another chance to quit,,;' f sha falls ':t-surrender on tl;o, terms of thctAlilos, then she will bo torn to pieces nnd no quar tos win oe given. Tho Hlilno will bo , crossod, , Gorman villages, and towns will bo burned., Her offi cials will bo Hod to tho stake In other words all of Germany will be. ovoutunlly given the samo treat ment sho gave Betelum. No mat tor how long it talus to do it, the Allies are willing to pay tho prlco In. lives and ti ensure to, curb once and for all. the buusl that- baa ravaged Europe. Ha Is to- be curb edeither by bis own consent, un- dor. which condition Germany's ter ritory would bo fared from de struction, or without his consent all Germany laid wasto and devas tated, her people turned Into a dis organized mass, hunger and want will- knock at ovory German door for 00 food will be furnished. Dis ease and po8tilenc9 will overtako them, tho Gorman nation will be crushed, crushed, crushed, and when in a begging position no band will be stretched. Kofusal of the terms offered moans "an eyo for an eye and a loath for. a tooth." It means wip ing the Hun from the world; it means killing them off like flics; it means stopping the breed of a people who have shown themselves o menace to the world. Hew long wlU It take? Never mind aboat that. ' . There Is only one program Ik. the world today beating the tiun once and forever. In La Grande notices of trolln quent street assessments nto sent regularly to property owners af. footed every six months, or Inter est paying periods, yot for years almost numborless pieces of proper ty failed to be paid upon. The city's books showed tremendous do flctts In the street improvement fund, : Each time the city met tho bond interest and payments,' -yet proporty owners failed to respond, Hut twice each year a notice was sent by the oily rooordor through tho; malls to the property owner, Then the city. commission decided te-bring-the matter of non-payment to their attention in a more force ful manner by publishing a, list of the delinquents. What's the result? La, Grande has Plenty, of '.money, to njeet hor street pavement obligations,-' Money came rolling into the city hall and people who , had neglected th mat ter cleaned up all arrears. When the Portland Journal tells you a mailed notljp is sufficient to colloct the taxes of a county it is knowingly mistaken, for Oregon has tried ; botlk plans and . the . court-, ty official who, has. worked in the tax-department knows that the de linquent tax list publication is , ne-, cossnry to good business. Lives and wealth, comfort ' and home are all to bo thrown In the hopper of war, and from that hop per will be ground out the death of all who stand for Kaiser and Kaiserlsm. ' ' This is tho picture held. In. front of Germany today. It Is a pictnre none overdrawn, for everything) will be done as indicated If the . terms are refused. It remains with-Ger many to determine what she will do. The Allies have made the! last '-.offer.-. - OVKIt.NOIl WITHYCOMBW OHH IIOMK WOIWHIP I It Let tho Family Altar be Revived ; awl -May at.
