THE AWAKENING.
In sharp contrast with the Kaiser?.
statement ot a year ago when ho ven
tured that his empire would securo
a "Strong, German peace," is tho proc
lamation made this week to his army
when he contents himself with stat
ing that be would be willing to accept
"an honorable peace," whatever may
be meant by that vague term.
It is evident that this latest peace
drive was intended to be delivered
later on, when the Hun leaders ex
pected to be impregnably established
in the famous Hindenburg trench line
of defense until next spring, at which
time another long-advertised "offen
sive" would occur. But onco more
another egregious blunder was com
mitted by the- German general staff.
They did not conceive the possibility
of this system of defenses being pene
trated by the allied forces and their
armies forced back into territory de
void of prepared"j Ps'ons tna
would not stand even the ghost of a
chance of holding against the sledge
hammer blows of the allies. But all
this has happened and more.
The Kaiser, in an effort to secure
a respite from the ceaseless pounding,
has his new puppet-chancellor an
nounce that President Wilson's four
teen peace conditions would serve as
a "basis" for peace negotiations. He
proposes further that an armistice be
declared while these negotiations are
being discussed. This would give Ger
many time to reform her shattered
divisions and thereupon the "condi
tions" would be rejected one by one.
A blind .man could see the trap.
The hammering will continue, and
while German military skill may be
able to conduct a retreat so masterly
that their long line may be brought
back unbroken to the German frontier, I
the war is already lost to Germany
when hor forces are driven back that'
far. When invasion of her domains
is imminent, we can look for an accept
ance of the allies ultimatum, even
though it does, not fall short of the
terms that were Imposed upon Bul
garia. It is a crave Question, however, if
the conditions that will be imposed I
V.- 1 1 r r i . i ... '
uj uic uics, especially iu me mauer
of men ej. indemnities, will ever be rea-
ineti uijon unless they overrun Ger
many until those conditions are actu
ally complied with. The German gov
ernment not to be trusted to fulfill
any pledge it may make under threat
of anything short of actual force.
They would apparently agree to auy
condition ImppieJ. and the momeat
allied forces were withdrawn from her
terrltoryand if her own armies were
still capable of some offensive move
ment, hjgr agreements with other na
tions would likely" be repudiated. She
is as strange to a" sense of national
honor as she is to a sense of mercy
and that. Is nil. She comes nearer be
ing thecjounterpart of an Infuriated,
merciless tiger, than does anything
else onearth that is supposedly hu
man. Tlje law of nations permits It
to run at large. It must continue to
do so, but in order that the menace
be removed it becomes imperative
thai the teeth shall be withdrawn, th?
claws clipped and the beast then ham
strung. Never until this is done will
the rest of the world breathe easy.
Whipping Germany is no easy task,
but it is doubtful if tho job is more
onerous than the one that will be al
loteii to the executive branches of
ally governments of compelling her.i
without employing coercive means, to
live up "to the conditions that will be
Imposed. The situation will be
fraucht with uncertainties at all
Bth"jat Jr :s comparatively easy to
fore iiOMence upon the tiger, but to
change tjts nature, insofar as to infuse
la it &dde of fidelity, is another mat
ter. I. is not pleasant to deal with a
whipped, but, sulky brute.

Hardships Ignored, Wounded Man
Tells MotherDon't Let Them
Hinder Your War Vork
By Mrs, Hasel Pedlar Faulkner
From a hospital somewhero in
Franco a wounded American has writ
ten to his parents
"Wo are going through hardships,
but tho boys nra taking hold in tho
good old American way."
What a messago for those ot us
who havo remained at homo! What
a chaltcngo to the vast army ot men
and women who are In tho homo
guard, carrying on in the thousand
nnd one ways that tho exigencies ot
war huxo brought upon us.
"We are going through hardships."
Wo can believe that, when wo re
call the dauntless, charges which our
boya have beon making over there,
and tho dally lengthening casualty
HitB which nro resulting from their
fearless devotion to the task that Is
set before them.
We know they are going through
hardships, when we stop to think ot
the hundreds upon hundreds who are
wounded, and Who for tho tlmo be
ing at least need caro and attention.
FIENDISH ENEMY
ADDS TERRORS
Ot course they are going through
hardships, those boya from your
honle and mine. Hardships are a
part of war. They are tho inevitable
result ot a state ot war. And when
war Is waged by an enemy so skilled
In all the fiendish deviltries in
which the Germans have indulged,
they are the inescapable portion ot
every soldier participating.
But hardships are not the part ot
the war -these soldiers ot ours are
thinking most about. They are but
the incidents in the day's work.
"The boys are taking hold in the
good old American way."
Could there be a better statement
ot their manner of facing what comes
to them? Could there be a more def
inite course ot action prescribed tor
those of us at homo during these
days which test the mettle ot our
souls?
The time for our message to the
boys has come again. The Fourth
Uberty Loan is to be our response
