The United States Demands an Unconditional Surrender.

TEMPORIZING WITH DESPOILERS. i We have pointed out that President Wilson has expressed the opinion it is absolutely usetess to try to do business with Germany. "Honor i3 not in them, we cannot covenant with them," he lias said. It is a nation of lies and double-dealing. Here is another burzard posing as a peace dove. Mathias Erzberger, leader of the German Centrists and just now oae of the greatest and most indefatigable workers in the peace camouflage, is trying to make the world believe that Germany is for peacs first, last and all the time. He says Germany is misjudged and is kind and 'gentle at least. Tossibly Erzberger has a short memory like a lot of other Huns, but he can rest assured i he allies haven't. In February, 1915, Erzberger made a speech. Germany was then roweling the world. Among the statements made by Erzberger were: "THE GREATEST RUTHLESSNESS IS IN' REALITY THE GREATEST HUMANITY. IF IT SHOULD BE FOSSIDLE TO DESTROY THE WHOLE OF LONDON THAT WOULD BE MORE HUMANE THAN TO ALLOW ONE OF OUR FELLOW COUNTRYMEN TO BLEED TO DEATH ON THE BATTLE FIELD, BECAUSE SUCH A RADICAL CURE WOULD LEAD MOST SPEEDILY TO PEACE." And yet. this Hun is now trying to inflict himself on the allies! Does he think he is forgotten? In Germany's scond peace answer she denied atrocities and submarine outrage?. Yet twenty-four hours after she had torpedoed a passenger steamer in the Irish channel. Yesierday she bombed an American Red Cross hospital. Even today she is looting France and Belgium and her foidiers are carrying off women and girls into worse than slavery. Yet we bandy words with them!

ARE WE READY FOR PEACE? With the surrender of Bulgaria; with Roumania preparing to fight again with the allies; Turkey eager for peace after having had her armies defeated and almost destroyed in Palestine; the steady advance of the allies ioward the German border and the Germans preparing for complete evacuation of Belgium; and with the victories of the allies in Russia and Siberia and the assembling of duly accredited representatives for the formailon of a new and powerful Pan Russian government and a Czeeho-Slav independence, it is-high time for America , to lake those manifestly necessary steps in preparation '."or peace which England has already completed, wmch 'France and other countries have long been planning, and which Germany perfected in almost every detail before the war started. We Americans have been pleading that our tardiness in preparing for war was due to the fact that we did not believe in war, but we cannot advance a similar excuse for our delay in preparing for peace. Whn peace comes, it will come quickly. All will be changed in the twinkling of an eye. Our millions of soldiers and sailors in Europe, in army training camps and on the pea will become immediately anxious to return to their homes. Government contracts for ships, munitions and war supplies of all kinds, aggregating billions of dollars, are likely to be hastily cancelled and (he mil'.ions of the workers in war industries (who, although fhey have made high wages, have saved but little, if anything) thrown out of work and compelled promptly to get other meana of livelihood or suffer want; prices of war stocks, war bonds and war commodities of all kinds are likely to tumble, and peace-time industrial stocks and supplies go sky-rocketing; and. unless the country is prepared in advance for the change, the situation will doubtless result in widespread confusion, dis

The great allied war drive for Lake county ought to be a pleasure. It ought to be put over and we believe it will be put over in one day. If'lhose seven great organizations iu one stupendous organization cannot clean up in twf nty-four hours we sadly miss outguess. All these organizations oer there have been working together nobly, Jew and Gentile, Catholic and Pro'.estsnt. The drive is to do good to the boys who are working solidly "over there." Yes, surely they have been working together "over there" these groups who seldom walked forward on common religious ground - for the "over there" is the great melting pot and the leveler of castes and creeds.

But here at home, while they've joined liands in the;

Red Cross, the war stamp efforts and many .others, we have seen the Y. M. C. A. working all by itself to secure money to carry forward its war work, the Knights of Columbus doing likewise, the V. W. C. A. carrying on its individual organisation, the American library board gathering Its separate book fund, the war camp community service doing its separate work and the Salvation Army striving hard to secure the quota which the headquarters demanded. Sometimes the people became weary of the campaign after campaign plan, and no one was more weary of it than the faithful sacrificing solicitors who arc willing to do their bit wherever duty calls them. Two great elements have come in to draw all of these seven big war work organizations into one: First, the insistent demand on '.he part of the. people that the number of ft.nd soliciting campaigns be condensed into one. if possible, and recond, because of the exm-He from "oer there" where al lof the organizations, each doing a separate and distinct work, have blended their effort? into one in the interest of the common good.

ANOTHER thing that always irritates us MORE or less when we go to prayer meeting IS to have some chap get up and riiAT whom we know In

MUST TICKLE THE SINN FEINERS. The Sinn Fein Tarty, and their sypporters, the interned Germans in the United States, must be more than gratified by the latest developments of the glorious Uermen armies in giving the "purest Essen steel" to the British troops. The latest exhibition of this has been seen in the sinking of the "Leinster," where an ordinary passenger ship, traveling from Ireland to England, was courageously and gloriously torpedoed with Essen steel, its boat 3 blown to pieces with Essen guns, and the Irish men, women and children on board it sent, in the chaste language of the Sinn Fein poet, by the "God of Vengeance To their place in hell." This last brilliant deed of the Germany navy, says the Christian Science Monitor, in support of their patriotic allies in Ireland, should be particularly drawn to the attention of the interned Germans in the United States, who cheered the Sinn Fein poem when it wa3 first published.

. IT rather looks to us as if THE kaiser instead of going down IN' history as Wilhclm The Great will lie KNOWN as Wiihclm The Great rtoob. AS we sit in our prlate BOUDOIR near the coal bin WE have a suspicion that nothing after all I CAN" be as ignorant as an editor who

i THINKS he knows something about I neighbor women. i

GOSH, it's a terrible thing is this army life HERE'S our milkman who WAS drafted not long ago he write BACK that the army would be ALL right if a fellow DIDN'T hive to Ho in bed till 5:30 in the t.iorni.-.g. IS there anything rottencr THAN a rot lea tomato? ALMOST every married man knows seme pretty girl from whom HE'D Just as soon catch the INFLUENZA as not. NONE of us are so charitable as

WE ought to be and WHEN a citizen Is met going home with A QUART bottle these days we OUGHT to accept his EXPLANATION frankly that he is

taking" HOME some nicotine wash for HtS wife's fern. THE bovine Huns are awfully jlow ABOUT beginning to think BUT it is comforting to reflect that w hen AT last they do they WILL think mighty hard. AS the husbands of the neighbor women

GO to their daily tasks, the dear wives UNDOUBTEDLY thank Heaven THAT they don't have to write things like THESE for a living. WE have our moments of depression WHEN we figure out that if the flu doeri GET us we shall not be WORTH as much as a ten line obit, note WHEN the time comes. IT seems that some of the dear girls dress THEIR hair so far down over their ears that IT will never be necessary TO wash them only at great intervals

HE WASN'T AFRAID OF THE HUNS. The war-wearinese of Austria-Hungary is strikingly illustrated by an inflammatory speech just delivered in the Austrian parliament by Deputy George Stribrny, a Czech. In the face of his open defiance, the German members of the body sat silent and did not. venture to shut him up. Earlier in the war there would have been violent excitement and opposition. Stribrny took bitter exception to the constant application of the terms "traitor" and "coward" to the Czech soldiers. "You call us traitors and cowards," the deputy said. "If there is just, one real man among you, let him try to realize the feelings of the Czech soldier who was driven by force into that war which the German chancellor called openly the 'fight of Germandom against Slavdom.' Try to realize how a soldier felt who was ordered under penalty of immediate hanging to march to war against the interests of the Slav race, against the interests of his own brothers, against the interests of his own country. Was this man a coward, when he passed to the other side under the fire of Austrian and German cannon, which attacked him from the rear? Was that man a coward who succeeded in going over and could then safely wait for the end of war. but who voluntarily went to the front again to risk his life?" Perhaps the extraordinary force of Stribrny's argument appealed to the stolid Teutons. But It is more probable that they were worn out and would not venture to dispute the truth of facts of which they were themselves long ago convinced.

THE HUGHES REPORT.

The report of .Judge Hughes, on the failure of the aeroplane program, has been filed with the government, but it ha3 been kept from the public. There can be no good reason for this The people have faith in Judge Hughes and they want to know the facts about that aeroplane extravagance and inefficiency. There is always a suspicion aroused in people's minds when the facts of any public action are kept from them. ' This suspicion often does more harm than the exposure can possibly do. There are already reasons attributed to the government for withholding this report, and they are by no means complimentary to the administration. For instance, it is reported that Secretary Baker is blamed for much of the aviation failure, and some tilings that go to the discredit of Henry Ford; all of which the people are as much interested in a sthe government itself. Mr. Hughes was appointed to go to the bottom of things, and now that he has reached bottom, the people want to see it for themselves. There is never any good comes from hiding facts from th poople, especially when they a.-: disclosed bv a man like Judge Hushes.

ONE of Garfie'd's fuel administrators asks people to climb and descend st lirs instead of using the elevators. The South Bend Tribune has a better scheme. It suggests throwing a rope out of the window and shinning up and down the rope.
