Ha says la tba con clusion of his article: Five words snmmartie the con ditions of peace accepted ay tha Entente: -Prussia militartam must be destroyed." . The New World has aot enter ed os the scene, it doe aot trav erse the Atlantic, it does aot achieve the daily miracles of which we are the amaied aad grateful witnesses. In order to rest satisfied with a bastard, de ceitful peace pregnant with every sort of danger. The United bartee and we with tbem. will aot halt until the aim ta attained -Prussian militarism destroyed. What friend of right aad Jnstee does not heartily endorse - the baramg words of Maierand? It is the soleras daty of all true men and women, es pecially ia America, to resolve tbat "Prussian militarism mast ba destroy ed." and, baring aa resolved, to pat forth every possible effort for the ac complishment of this great result MORE PRETENDED PEACE TALK. Prince Mann ilia a. the new German Chancellor, is following In the foot steps of his predecessors and throw ing eat peace feelers. The intent to brirg about a cessation of hostilities is plainly shown. The German armies ca the western front are in grave dan ger, and the latest news from the battlefields is that they are really on the edge of breaking into a root and fleeing (not retreating) to Germany. The text of the German peace Bote Is as follows: The German Government re quests the President of the United States to take in hand tha restor ation of peace, acquaint all the belligerent State of this ra- qeeet, and invite them to pleaipoteatiariee tor tba of opening aegotiatVma, accepts the program set forth by the President of the United States hi km ca to Congress on Janaary Stk and in bis later proaouBcemeats, especia2y km speech of September nth. as a basis for peace eegotiatJoaa. "With a view to avoiding farth er bloodshed, the German gov ernment requests the tmrni. eoecrasioa of aa armistice oa bud aad water aad in tba air." i se immeamta conclusion of an armistice," right on the eve of what looks ha a great victory for the Al lies aad consequent disastrous de feat for tba Central Powers! If the braxea effrontery of Prince Maxtmfl ian's oteitaiea were not aa insult to the mtefligence of the Allies, it would be laughable. Imagine Germany pay ing heed to peace offers aad talk of genreal "cessation of hostilities" from the Allies if the German armies were thundering at the gates of Farm and in virtual possession of all the chan nel porta! A few months ago, before the Americana got Into tba fighting and the Allies were being poshed back by sheer weight of superior en emy forces, the German militarists were' insolent in their talk of heavy indents tiea from America, Great Brit- 'a aad France, the holding of Bel- glum "a a pawn" and the taming ev er to Germany of about all the bal ance of the earth.

It accepts the programme forth by the President of the United States ia his message to Congress January t" President Wilson sseak- ing for his own Government and the Entecte, has truthfully said that the Germaa militarists have shown to tb world that they cannot be trusted, mor-jvhiea is equivalent to saying that ended)) it got peace by laying down It arma and getting Into its owa back yard.

President Wilson's reply to Ger- maay"a request for. aa armistice and peace aegotiationa was Just what waa expected of km aad waa simply to the effect that, speaking tor hi Government, be could aot antertaia for a moment any pro position for aa armistice whereby tb enemies of Al lies of the United State would be al lowed to remain undisturbed on the soil of those Allies. First, said Mr Wilson, m "effect, get oat of Belgium, France and Italy, and then should the proper re presen tati ves of the Germaa peopl (not the representatives of th German militarists) show th right spirit, there may b arranged an arm istice, in order to confer aa to the best plan by which to free the world of the cause of Germaa militarism and German aatocracy. There ia a division of opinion as to whether; the Germaa militarists will consent to withdraw from invaded territory in order to bring about an ar- mJstiea. We should say it depends al together on whether the Kaiser real ly believe tbat th Allies intend that Prussian militarism and all that It 1m-1 Plies shan be "pot oat of business.' If the Kaiser believe that such fc the Allied intent, he very tkely has con cluded that he had best stay where he is as long aa possible, aad in the meantime seek a rest for bin w down armies by eecarlng aa armistice with, the pretense of negotiating' for aeece. If. however, th snabttir is to be secured only oa condition that the Kaiser should get over on' his own ter ritory, the chances are that be wm balk, for he doubtless knows should he once reeroaa tba Bain he win aerer be able to get back again. Besides he may have Bttia hope of ac complishing anything m the way of making peace by holding a confer ence, and with th conference eaded withoat result, he would much rather I continue the strife oa Preach and Bel gian soil thaa oa German soil. We cannot ten. however. The Ger- maaa may be hi such desperate straits tbat they wOl be glad to withdraw from invaded territoy with "whole skins." Perhaps matters have come to the paaa that a week or ao more of fighting wfll mean either the attar eoL aad root of the satire Germaa army or its ancoadltlonal aarreader. men, monitions and an.
