A PEACE OF VICTORY
It is by (is time fairly obvious toi
the most superficial student of the
war just why (iermany let loose its
extremely shrill and entirely insin
cere plea for an armistice.
Hindenburg and LudendorfT. unable
to find new soldiers sufficient to till
the enormous gaps made by Koch's
bites all along their front, faced the
necessity of shortening that line.
Two years ago Hindenburg was able
to withdraw to the "Hindenburg line"

UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER" j
The centra] powers are not to he
permitted to "negotiate" peat e terms,
o we understand the situation aright.
\ 11 they have to do is to accept such
terms as we and our allies will Im
pose, when the central allies surren
der unconditionally We do not be
lieve that the central allies are as
( lose to surrender as some people ai
led to believe, Germany is unpre
pared, as is the “all highest," for the
humiliation of unconditionally surren
dering Eventually, we further be
lieve, the central allies will be glad
to surrender unconditionally. Rut
a nine hmore penetrating light must

lect before h<' realizes, in truth, (hat
President Wilson has the true meas
ure of the German "high command."
of the supreme authority, the Prus
sian Junkers, so that he will not be
complete surrender. In his speech ol
September L7 he gave a clear descrip
tion of the central allies in the follow
ittg unmistakable language:
"The government of the United
States can and will entertain no pro
posal for a conference upon a matter
concerning which it has made Its po
sition and purpose so clear. • • »

They (the central powers) have con
vinced os that they are without honor
and do not intend justice. They oh
serve no covenants, accept no princi
ple hut force and their own interest.
We can not ‘come to terms' with them.
They have made It Impossible."
"We cannot ‘come to terms' with
them. They have made It Impossible."
That tells the whole story. The
terms upon which peace will he re
stored will he revealed to the central
allies after they have been formulated
by us and our allies, and the central
allies will have no other recourse hut
to accept them. The sooner the cen
tral allies realize this the better for
themselves and for the world.
Only One Road to Peace — America
Must Go on With War Until It Is Won
Bj ROBERT LANSING. Secrct.ry of Suie. • >il*V '
-.— — ■ ..- — —.
I’russianism and the idea of enduring peace among
nations can never be brought into harmony; compro
mise cannot even be considered.
It is a fact not generally known that within six
weeks after the (ionium government had, in the case
of the Sussex, given this government its solemn prom
ise that it would cease ruthless slaughter upon the
high seas. Count BernstorfT, appreciating the worthless
| ness of the promise, asked the Berlin foreign office to
auvise I.mi in ample nine neiore uie campaign in suu
marine murder was renewed, in order that he might
notify the German merchant ships in American ports to destroy their
machinery, because lie expected that the renewal of that method of war
fare would, in all probability, bring the United States into the war.
How well the ambassador knew the character of his government and
how perfectly frank he was. lie askod for the information without apol
ogy or indirection. The very bluntness of his message shows he was
sure his superiors would not take offense at the assumption that their
word was valueless and had only been given to gain time and that, when
an increase of Germany’s submarine fleet warranted, the promise would
be broken without hesitation or compunction.
In view of this spirit of hypocrisy and had faith, manifesting an
entire lack of conscience, we ought not to be astonished that the 1’erlin
foreign ofliee never permitted a promise or a treaty agreement to stand
in the way of a course of action which the German government deemed
expedient. I need not cite as proof of this fact the flagrant violation of
the treaty of lirest-Litov.sk. This discreditable characteristic of German
foreign policy was accepted by German diplomats as a matter of course
and as a natural, if not a praiseworthy method of dealing with other gov
ernments.
W e must go on with the war. There is no other wav. This task
inu-t not he left half done. We must nut transmit to posterity a legacy
of Mood and misery. We may in this great conflict go down into tic
valU\ of shadows because our foe is powerful and inured to war. We
liuis! lie prepared In meet disappointment and temporary reverse, but w>
mu with An.' i ' in -;>i:it, ri- above them; with courageous hearts
we mtisl go forward until tin- war is won.
Playgrounds for Children Are Big Neces- !
sity to Conserve Health
By Ci 4ARLES E. HUGHES, Former Governor of New York Sute
The success! ill worker must have the spirit of play
in his heart, and the successful man is only a hoy with
a man's experience. He must have the zest, the devo-,
lion, the spirit of comradeship, the capacity for self
forpet fulness. the hoy's wholesome outlook upon life,
if he is to do a man’s work in the world. How are we
to save civilization from hemp eauplit in its own toils?
How are we to p.e i hildhood from heiup too early
drawn into the contests of life? How are we in our
preat urhan population to make possible the spirit of
■■■» YW piav, 11n1 ujijMinmim m s mr rnmiisn .'pun- wmrii are
essential to the development of tiorinal manhood and womanhood? To j
the solution of that problem you are devoting your study with no little}
measure of sum ss already attained. 1 cannot aid you hv experience or
suggestion, hut 1 hid you godspeed from the bottom of niv heart.
We want plnv—simply play, for the children of our great cities.
Those who are fortunate enough to live in the country have in their own
homes the playground. The orchard, the meadow, the brook, the swim-!
tiling pool, the near-by wood, constitute the never-failing source for gruti-l
fving the appeiii'-, the normal appetites, of childhood in the country. I
And with what feeling akin to de-pair do we look upon the growing}
thousands teeming in the congested iptarters of our cities, with the slight!
opportunities of the roadway to take the place of the open country!
We do not think of tlmm in their early years alone, hut we look for
ward to the time when they come to phi\ tie- parts of men and women i
in the world, and we wonder what is to he the future. Is their expen- !
ence of life merely to he that of the hard taskmaster, the struggle for1
hare existence? Is the growing feeling of discontent to lie accentuated l
and increased because of abnormal deprivation?
We want playgrounds for children in order that we may conserve
the health of our people. A great deal is being done in these days to
protect us against the spread of disease. We are lighting with intelli
gence and with new-found zeal the great white plague, hut the dread
disease of tuberculosis must he successfully fought by developing stamina,
physical strength, through exercise in all the physical activities. We must
nourish that strength in childhood. We do not want simply hospitals
and pavilions and notices giving instructions to those who are unfamiliar
with necessary precaution. We want to save the health of our children,
so that we may nurture a strong, well-favored community. That is the
surest way to stamp out disease.
