HELL'S BUSY TRYING TO SAVE GERMANY. The greatest menace to the world in which we live in the greatest menace to our children and to unborn children Is the tremendous effort tha will he made in Germany and by her pacifist vassals all over the world TO llKINU AltOl'T A WKAK 1'KACK. A I'EAC'K OF COMPROMISE. Every power of hell and earth which can be con trolled by Germany will be used to produce hucIi a peace, and we may rest assured that hell will be very active in the campaign, for hell can as'c no greater achievement than an inconclusive peace, or one WHICH LKAVKS GERMANY AND ITS CRIMINALS UNPUNISHED. Hell knows that this would mean the continuation of hell on earth and another war in the not distant future which would surpass this war. UNCONDITIONAL, SURRENDER is the only term which should ever be used in connection with peace, and with the definite determination that every criminal leader !n this great conflict shall on the gallows pay with his lire the penalty or his crimes, and that the nations guilty of bringing this war upon the world shall be made to pay the full cost to the Allies. Nothing else would satisfy justice. ANYTHING ELSE WOULD BE A BLOT UPON CIVILIZATION FOR CENTURIES TO COME.
LOYAL GREEKS.
The United States Demands an Unconditional Surrender.
THE BILL AGAINST GERMANY. Former President Theodore Roosevelt, who by virtue of having lost one hero son by death and another crippled in the war with the Hun, rightly says that we must refuse to compound a felony by discussing peace terms with felons. Theodore Roosevelt is right. Whether it be Hohenzollern's autocracy or democracy, the German people must pay the price. If the kaiser devil and his crew of fiends were not supported to the last drop of blood by the people of Germany they could not have turned this earth into a hell for four years. This country and its brave French. British, Italian, Belgian and Serbian allies have a staggering bill to present to the Hun for settlement. The million of rotting corpses that lie awaiting the last trump in the devastated fields of Europe cry out to high heaven for vengeance, the drowned thousands of thousands whose bodies are encoffined in the hulks strewn on the bottom of the five seas are spectres to haunt the Germans as long as the earth revolves on its axis. It is an itemized bill of horrors that the Hun must settle for. What are some of the items that must never be forgotten? The thousands of brave American boys who will never come back from France; the Lusitania and its hundreds of drowned American women and children; the fearful piracy on the high seas and the violation of every convention of The Hague and almost every rule of international law; the shocking murder of the saintly Edith Cavell without due process of law; the fate worse than death of thousands of pure French, Belgian and Serbian girls; the terrible mutilation of Belgian women, girl.? and babes; the firing on freezing men and women in lifeboats; the cruel bombing of Red Cross hospitals; the murder of 100 Red Cross nurses and attendants in a relief hospital; the zepplinizing of unfortified towns'; the bombardment of helpless seacoast cities; the ravishing of nuns and slaughter of priests; the crucifixion of aged Belgian men; the many nameless and unspeakable Belgian and Serbian trocities; the enslaving'of conquered peoples; the poisoning of wells and streams; the luring of stretcher bearers to destruction by Hun soldiers feigning death; the kamerads who threw their hands in the air to surrender and then pumped machine guns worked by their feet into oncoming American soldiers; the fiendish setting of bombs and explosives in surrendered towns; the razing and burning of cities, property and destruction of beautiful century-old forests; the leveling of cathedrals; the wholesale laying waste of France, Belgium and Serbia; the high-born German women who spat on helpless prisoners and stoned them; the German Red Cross nurse who offered starving prisoners water and f-oup they toad indescribably defiled; the setting of vicious dogs oa prisoners irf vile German prison camps; the robbery of food from prisoners sent them by relatives; the celebration of the Lusitania's sinking by German school children chanting their hymns of hate; the drowning of thousands of helpless horses and mules by U-boat pirates; the foul defilement of Belgian and French homes; the stripping of American women leaving Germany when the war broke out in 1314: the indignities visited on our ambassadors and consular officers before April, 1917; the thefts of the crown prince and his arrogant officers from French chatteaux; the innumerable lusts and orgies of high German officers and drunken soldiers; our factories blown up; the country filled with spies; the efforts made by sneaking German ambassadors to Involve us in war with Mexico and Japan while posing as our friends and accepting our hospitality; the criminals whose hands run red with human blood; the world's greatest moral and mental prostitutes. All these items on the bill to settle as well as many others unprintable, items so hellish that men do not even discuss them except in whispers and with set teih, clenched fists and red-seeing eyes. And yet the blaspheming Beast of Berlin and his
There are about 330,000 Greeks in the U rated States. Although most of them are small shop-keepers, confectioners, and fruit dealers, they have made generous contributions to the Government war funds. Their subscriptions to the Fourth Liberty Loan already mount into the millions and will probably exceed what they have invested in previous loans. For the Third Loan they have a record of $6,S38.700, and their total contribution in the first three campaigns is estimated at ?1?,000.000. The notable fact about these Greek subscriptions is that they have come in small amounts. Of ihe 22,500 Greeks who have bought Liberty bonds, only 13 subscribed for bonds of $10,000 or over. The payments which they made came out of their small savings and represented sacrifice. Serving in our army now are more than 60.000 soldiers of Greek birth or parentage. When the treaty with Greece goes into effect. 40,000 more will be added to the potential supply of troops. Although most of these men have been in America only a short time, they understand that her cause is the same as that of Greece and are satisfied to take their place in the ranks of the 1'nited States army. It is true, of course, that there are ome Greeks in the United States who are as German as Constantino's wife, but they are, thank Heaven, very much in the minority.
IN WHICH WE ARE CRITICIZED. Editor Times: In your editorial on our creat President Wilson's' last answer to Germany you damn it with praise. You cross jour fingers too much. What more could that noble man at Washington ask of Germany than he asked in that note? In your interpretation of that note you seem to stand alone among the newspapers. A WILSON ADMIRER. There is one crime in the category we, editorially, have never been accused of and that is sycophancy. Neither do we ever propose to be an idolator. A cat may look at a king. We have a profound admiration for the Wilson brain, but never yet have we heard that he aspired to be the national All Highest. We fail to see the president's last message as a demand for unconditional surrender. As far as standing alone 13 concerned, our correspondent's newspaper reading is limited. As great a newspaper as the New York Tribune says: "Why, in our growing correspondence with Germany is the word surrender taboo? Why is it that we cannot talk as we fieht? We are negotiating with Germany toward an armistice toward peace. DOES THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT KNOW THE HEART OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND HOW IT SINKS AS EACH FURTHER EXPECTATION IS SO VAGUELY DISAPPOINTED!"
A BRAYING ASS.
Fort Wayne has some aieer cusses in it if the News of that city tells the truth, and we never knew it to tell a lie. Here is the story: One of our finest and fattest policemen, discoursing to a cigar store crowd Saturday evening, delivered himself of the following: "Now that we have licked Germany, it's .up to us to start in and clean up on England in the same fashion." It would be decidedly instructive and illumining -to have this gentleman tell us who the "we" are who ha-? "licked Germany" and who are ihe "us" to whom the task of "cleaning up on England" devolves. An ass never brays so discordantly or dismally as when it wears the skin of a lion. .
TWO SHYSTER EDITORS. Newspaper publishers and editors will not lose sight of the fact that two noted publishers who took money secretly from large interests which they represented, not only injured themselves, but cast an unjust cloud upon the whole newspaper profession. Thoughtful people will not be misled, but thoughtless people will carry in their minds the suspicion that many other papers are similarly financed. The fact is that the so-called "controlled" press is very limited. No paper published for the advantage of any special interest can long conceal the limitations upon its freedom of expression. Most people will readily understand this, and will not harbor unjust suspicions against the press in general. However, incidents such as those recently exposed cannot be otherwise than harmful to the press as a whole just as the evil deeds of a shyster lawyer bring the whole legal profession into more or les disgrace. It is a pity that dishonorable editors, like dishonorable lawyers, cannot be dis
barred, says the New York Times.
