chambers Is Impossible. The defense must be heard. Such is the right of the guiltiest criminals. But when Germany is confronted with the accumulation of evidence already gathered, her plea cannot be other than "Guilty!" Her rulers and her people stand today before the rest of the world as the most debased war-makers of modern times. This statement is trite merely because it is demonstrable up to the last week.

Talk of "peace" with such human reptiles is wasting words. The German people must go into anearthly purgatory for a generation before they can receive the slightest consideration from the humane nations of this world. An indemnity of- at least marks must be tho price of turning the world into a charnal-house! These are only A FEW of the conditions of a peace that will be permanent. The occupation of the fine old city of Lille will probably have occurred before this Talk comes to the eyes of my readers. The treatment accorded to that city by the retreating Huns will indicate the sincerity or knavish-ness of all professed intentions to withdraw from French territory.

Unless wanton destruction of occupied areas absolutely ceases, the war must go on! As President Wilson truthfully says in his last rejoinder to tho cringing, suppliant foe, criminal destruction of French cities was in progress while tile white flag was waving! Teutons cannot be trusted when In extremis! They are like the thug on his death-bed who stole the crucihx of the good priest in the act of administering to him extreme unction. No confessional on earth or in heaven can absolve German autocracy of its crimes! They cry in. vain for absolution. No earthly punishment by criminal or civil courts will adequately atone for Germany's acts during the past five years. She is the outlaw of all this world!

And yet, sometimes, they seem to pause for rest, And when they do my fancies wander just as far As if it were October in our nest As if the nest were built as we had planned it then.

As if I shrugged my shoulders in the crowd, Brushed off the dying leaf and hustled in To find you humming, singing half aloud And weaving wisps of dreams before the fire. And waiting in our land of Heart's Desire. Few are the evenings of the red October sun That, dying out beyond a hill in France, Can yield the beauties of another one When Love and Lips and Autumn met by chance; Few are the golden glows within the dreamer's eye Not marred by splinters of the bursting shell. Where wild hyenas of the air shriek through the sky So close they hiss one's name, and, nearer, tell One's buried sins of long ago and then Explode beyond and miss and leave us men! Ah, Love, tonight the red October leaf is down A garb of fancy withered in the sun As if the soul within the oak had shed her gown To cloak her figure with a sterner one; Thus does your soldier throw aside the dreamer's skein To be rewoven in some dusk with you, For fancy will be sweeter when it comes again And Love will know a cost to hold it true And, so, he goes, as one who knows he will Emerge a victor, yet your dreamer still.

The shouts did not bring any mental relief from the strain of the past eighteen months. This reported surrender could mean nothing more than the mocking, treacherous cry of "Kamerad!" with which endangered squads of Huns have lured their foes into traps for their destruction. No serious proposition can come from creatures of the most deceitful monarch in our era! While enemies of the Washington Xdrrrrmstfatlon In this city are quibbling1 about the "Fourteen Suggestions," German diplomats seek to try the game themselves.

They pretend to accept what has not been offered, inspired by "an organ published for the best people." German statesmen, with their backs to the wall, are quick to take advantage of hair-splitting by American critics, Congressional and journalistic. The autocrats of Potsdam need friends and grasp hands across the sea! Whether the wild, unbelievable rumor of the streetB be true or false, let us ask what Prussian militarism, as spokesman for the defeated bunch, is willing to concede? Is Germany ready to UNCONDI TIONALLY SURRENDER and disarm her forces in the field, they to submit to internment as Bismarck demanded of MacMahon at Sedan? Will all the armies of the Central Powers demobilize? Is Germany ready to concede military occupation by the Allies of Metz, Strassburg, Cologne, Aix la Chapelle, Mainz, Coblenz and Frankfort? What bonds, or guarantee, can she give for the COMPLETE restoration of the ruined cities and villages and devastated lands of Belgium and France Especially, are the Potsdam crimi gated. Leaders of the movement considered his message of inestimable value. Herbert L. Carpenter, president of the Associated Civics Associations, greeted the organization and offered to assist it in its early growth with advice and co-operation.

Why Any nals willing to surrender to a Military Court composed of Belgian and French officers the responsible authors of tho unspeakable outrages committed upon the defenseless women, children, and other non-combatants of Belgium and France? At the same time, will she agree to deliver to a properly constituted court-martial of American officers the soldiers responsible for the crucifixion and murder of American prisoners who fell into their hands, in order that such brutes may be dealt with as was the infamous Wirtz of Andersonville? Will Germany guarantee that Austria withdraw her troops from Serbia ind will call home her armies from Rumania and Russia? Will Kaiser Wilbelm, cause of millions of deaths, surrender himself to the Allies to be dealt with as he deserves Will "Emperor" Charles of Austria agree to join William and stand trial before a High Court of Nations? Shall their choice be St. Helena or a firing siiuad Will the German, Austrian and Turkish navies be absolutely surrendered to the Allies, with a'l ships engaged in the merchant services of those countries? Will the great munition works at Essen and Crefekl he dismantled and continue so for 1U0 years? Will all Herman, Austrian and Turkish arms, cannon, munitions be surrendered to the Allies? This is fundamental. Will tlte recession to France of Alsace-Lorraine be conceded? Will nil German colonies be surrendered? In short, will the Central Powers consent to permit an adjudication of their criminality and punishment by a Congress nf the Allies and the United States? Ex parte as these demands appear, they are what must be insisted upon by the defenders against an unrighteous ivar, forced upon them.
