CENTRAL POWERS MUST PAY FOR WRONGS COMMITTED
Lafayette Journal. Right now the Central powers might consummate a more advantageous peace than will ever again be possible. The first faint breezes of the doctrine of retributive justice are beginning to fan the hearts of I the American people and as the casualty list mounts higher and higher and the financial burdens become greater, as sorrow and sacrifice become the constant handmaidens of our people, these breezes wiH develop into a hurricane that will wipe out every vestige of Prussian hope to escape punishment commensurate with the crime that is being perpetrated. There has been some very fine sounding doctrine of idealism disseminated, to the effect that we were simply bent upon making the world safe for democracy and that not one dollar of indemnity would be accepted as remuneration for our .part in the war. Whatever measure of endorsement was given this peachment was sincere at the time and in the main was the result of ignorance of the undertaking upon which we Were about to embark. Circumstances alter cases, and men change their minds with the passing of time, and one of the difficulties of the future is going to be to convince the American people that they should supinely acquiesce in any plan that does not contemplate the punishment of the enemies of civilization. The United States did not seek participation in this war and deferred its entry into the struggle as long as it dared to. We did not enter the war to make the world safe for democracy, but to make America safe for Americans. We did not declare war until it became patent that to longer delay meant that we should be compelled to fight the Hun upon our own soil. The allied nations were broken and despairing; the outcome of the struggle was not difficult to forecast at the time we marched to their rescue. We were compelled to accept one of two alternatives, fight in France with the assistance of nations still able to “carry on” with our assistance, or fight at home alone against a nation that had succeeded in subduing the most powerful nations of earth and whose humiliating peace terms had been forced upon the only European representative of democracy. Naturally, we chose the seemingly more favorable of the two alternatives, and we are going to be the dominating factor in the struggle next year and we are going to win, sooner or later. And when the Prussian war lords realize that their insane obsession for world domination is impossible of achievement they will throw up their hands and snivel, “Kamerad,” and in their bestial, murderous hearts they will gloat over the fact that they are to be permitted to go scott free after having exhausted every resource at their command and flooded the world with blood and tears. With their own land unfurrowed by shot and shell, their own cities proud and unscathed, their own industries ready to resume work where they were interrupted by the demands of a war of their own creation, with no material damage other than the depreciation attendant upon the conditions which they brought upon the world, they will be ready to fawn upon the conqueror and marvel at the assininity of a doctrine that will permit a criminal nation to murder and pillage to the utmost of its ability and then reward it with an admonitio nto go and sin no more. When a citizen goes out and murders a fellowman punishment is meted to him. If one ravishes a woman, robs his neighbor or burns the property of another, justice demands that he suffer for his crime. Wherefore is a nation of criminals to be shown greater consideration than an individual. r «
If in any quarter there exists an idea that we are to be bound a year or two years or three years from now by any fanciful utterances voiced without realization of their portent, let us take immediate steps to make it clear that only immediate and unconditional surrender will save the Central powers from the full responsibility and burden of payment for all the havoc that has followed in the wake of their bloody enterprise. If the allies must fight this war to a finish; fight until the accursed Hun is no longer able to resist, he should be made to understand now that recompense, dollar ,for dollar, will be demanded and collected if it takes these outlaws and their spawn a hundred centuries to square the account Under any circumstances the kaiser and the crown prince, Emperor Carl of Austria, Hindenburg and Ludendorff and others of the ring leaders of this conspiracy to wreck the world must hang. For them there must never be the satisfaction of the death of a soldier, a bullet to induce eternal sleep. Only the ignominy of the hangman’s noose is fit punishment for these arch criminals. If in your heart you can find the courage to say to that fine, clean son of yours who has been compelled to enlist in a war of which neither you nor he had a voice in the making, not even a desire for war, if you can say to him, “Go forth and fight, suffer all the agonies of hell, come back maimed for life, or fill a grave which I shall never see, and when you and enough of your comrades nave suffered and died we will bid the beast that has slain you return to his own fireside to multiply and enjoy God’s sunshine and munificent blessings with no thought of responsibility for his heinous crimes," if you do this thing, then you are morally bound to the doctrine of no indemnities, no punishment for the prepetrators of the greatest crime in ail history. But you are entirely too good for earth and may rest assured that if such are the requirements for * admission to heaven. you are going to have a lonesome time in the hereafter. Nations may no more evade their responsibilities than may individual* 1 ... —. ~ •

GRANDDAUGHTER WON PRIZE.
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Alter and son, Chris, of Carpenter township, were in Rensselaer today. They report having a very pleasant automobile trip from their home to Kokomo last Saturday and returning via Lafayette Sunday. The corn of the Wabash river valley is badly frosted, but there is a most excellent wheat crop which is now in the shock. While in Kokomo they visited the family of their daughter, Mrs. Walter Vaugher, and with the parents were delighted when their little granddaughter was the prize -winner in a Fourth of July baby show contest with' seventy-four competitors.
' Mrs. Belle Dickey and daughter, Mae, came from Indianapolis today to visit James Torbett. Elizabeth Meyer returned to her home at Gary today, after spending a week with R. D. Thompson and family. George Delaney, of Mt. Ayr, took his father, Anthony, to a Lafayette hospital today to have an operation performed on his eye.
and the Central powers should pay. And they should be made to understand now that the longer the day Of settlement is postponed the greater will be the debt they have incurred. For four years the allied nations have stood with bared breasts between civilization and hell itself and in every one of these lands the thought should be driven home that the aay of reckoning ii approaching and when the day dawns their sacrifices, so far as is possible, will -be made whole to them. It is time that we begin to hate with an intensity that will make the enemy understand that our wrath is mighty and that peace will be upon terms of justice, and not based upon maudlin sentimentality.
