"--ONLY TO BE KIND."

The English Labor Party has denounced the Peace Treaty. It finds the drastic terms out of tune with these liberal times. This is true. But they are in harmony with the spirit of the nation upon which they are to be enforced. Germany has learned a language of might and of indemnities. She has not yet comprehended defeat because the strong arm of the invader has not yet been felt. The dinners in Paris have been postponed not cancelled. Ultimately there will be victory and punishment for the accursed Americans.

If they are to understand, they, must be spoken to in their own language of blood and iron. They must realize completely that Germany and Kultur have both been defeated, and can never succeed. Then there will come a time for instruction in the language of civilization and humanity--not before.

The war of arms has ceased--the war of ideas continues. The ideas which govern Germany twenty years hence will be the ultimate test of victory.
