" OLD GLORi
"America For Americans"
THE QUESTION OF PEACE
By Frank H. Simmonds
(Continued From. Yesterday.)
To The Tribune the fact seems
perfectly clear. One of two things
must happen. Either the war
rnuot ?o ou to a military decision be
tna-iu faithful to the gospel of force
causo the German people still re
and the doctrine of barbarism, or
the German people must of them
selves renounce the doctrine and
dispossess those who have applied
the doctrine all over the yorld.
If there must be a fight to a
military decision, then there is no
need of discussion. All discussion
is, in fact, hopeless if the Germans
are still of the mind that was writ
ten in Lourain and the Lusitania,
expressed in Zeppelin raids and
submariue killings, and to talk about
peace with Germany is like discuss
ing relatons of amity with a man
eating tiger whose jaws are still
stained with fresh blood.
Hut if Germany is to tree ner
seif from this doctrine and the P°l
measure of her own freedom must
icy, it remains patent that the
be her recognition of the duty of
repairing the injuries she has done,
so far as they can. be repaired.
Above all, if a new born Germany
democracy is to supersede an over
turned autocracy, we can only re
cognize its 'character Tvhen it pre
sents as its peace proposal a pro
gramme which carries with it as a
first article the indemnificaton of
Belgium.
"When Germany attacked Belgium
she visibly and [unmistakably left
the ranks of civilized nations. The
issne of Belgium' is between the
German people and [the whole
world. Until Germany meets the
Belgian issue squarely there can be
110 crossing the gulf that divides the
German people from [the rest of
mankind, because 'with a nation, and
with a people that can permanently
justify this crime, the rest of man
kind can have no relations, save
across the firing line. To use Mr.
Wilson's rather vague 'phrase in a
^specific application, the world will
not be safe for democracy'as long as
#ny nation, with weapons in its
hands, is able to ' justfy and in
dorse t^e Belgian iniquity.
The gulf'dividing reparation from
reprisal is very wide. There will be
no attempt to visit against a Gei^
many herself escaped from the lead
ing-strings [of those who dictated
her policies in recent years reprisals I
of the sort [that Germany planned,
to visit upon her foes and did, so i
far as 'she was able,visit upon Bel
gium and France. But if the Ger
man attack upon Belgium stands
without reparation, if it i3 not
paid for to the uttermost brick and
STRAFE THE CHICKEN'S
Hie oops* neyr slogan, hsre sfct

For w&ekg or more theres' been
a roar, as gardens start, to kick In,
from residents, who, 'way last
tiering, dug, planted, hoed and sweit

netted,
"It »»n't lair," officials say, "that
folks wh're really forking to pile

let their chickens loose to forage,
scratch and plunder away from

If wandering hens assail your
crops and spoil 'em and uproot 'em,
you're Justified, Mayor Fleming

XOCXG GIRLS J5TND A i
WAY TO AID RED CROSS
As the result of an idea conceived
by the two little daughters of Maj,
Clarence B. Smith, and the young
daughter of Ca.pt. Harold D. Cob urn,
who are playmates, a number of lit
tie girls will meet incoming and,
outgoing trains where they will sell
floral offerings for the benefit of
the Red Cross, ,
The caildren, seeking tQ aid, ac
quired a few nosegaya from their
own gardens, which they disposed ol
with ease when they explained their
motive. Their initial venture result
ed in their being enrolled as regu
lar workers by Herman Chapin,
chairman of the Seattle Red Crosa
committee. I i : j, J
Contributions of flowers which
will be sold by the little girls will
be received at the Holywood Flower
Shop, Second avenue and Pine St,
The mothers of the children will
accompany them when they are
selling the nosegays.—Seattle P.-I.

it not plain that the German idea,
if it hag not conquered the world,
has yet demonstrated that it can,
function with with impunity?
Peace we all want, but only
peace, not a prolongation of the
war made possible by the perpetua

German idea; it is a deadly peril
to all that we love and believe in,
whether, it be democracy, or decency*
Nothing that we love or hold to

idea stands unrepealed. You oan'C

en with a terrible pain in (my back.
If I stooped, lifted or made a mis
Btep, darting pains shot through,
of'suffering. I got a box of Doan's
my kidneys causing the worst kind
Kidney Pills, being told they jwere
the best medicine to be had for
pains in the back and1 other kidney
trouble. They removed thef pain
and distress and I have never had
a return of the complaint. "(State
ment given October 23, 1912.)
THE RESULTS LASTED '
On May 22, 1916 Mr.Bauer said:
"My cure has proven to be fa per
manent one. I never stop praising
Doan's Kidney Pills." |
