THE QUESTION' OF l'EACE
By Frank H. Simmonds
(Contained From Yesterday.)
The German h^s asserted the
right to murder, to maim,, to abuse
to destroy, to attack the weak and
the unarmed, the 'nuocent and the
helpless, to destroy the beautiful
and defile the sacred, whenever
iiis 'ntere^ts seem to be served
thereby, ile has applied this doc
'rine to h;S neighbors for three
years. He 's still applying it. He
has built up a whole body of doc
trine founded on the essential de
tail that physical force makes mor
al right and that the strong man
is entitled to use h's strength to
serve his own ambitions, appetites,
materia] interests.
As a result the whole world has
gone to war with the Germans. It
has not conquered him, but he has
not conquered it, nor is there left
any real belief in his mind that he
can now and at this time conquer
the world. But can the world af
ford to leave the Issue at th's
po'nt? The Tribune believes not.
We must have a settlement, we
■must have a decision. We must
have it on the battlef'eld if it
cannot be had elsewhere. And it
can only be had elsewhere if the
German people lay aside th!s idea
and in advance of military decision
consent to make that reparation
which must be made.
Abraham Lincoln in IS64 per
ceived with umost clarity that there
must be a decision in the dispute
between the Jsorth and the South,
because of the two Ideas only one
could possibly prevail. One may not
compare the Civil War with the
present war, because both sides re
mained loyal to their common 'deal
of humanity and of civilization,
but it is still plain that two ideas
were in conflict and there had to
be a decision, that there m'ght be
peace thereafter for those who were
to corner
We must have a decision in the
present war, a clear, unmistakable
and immutable decision. Our civili
zation ^ll have to be vindicated or
abolished. The German idea and
the idea of the rest of mank'nd
cannot live side by side, because
German idea is at bottom founded
tipon the arrogated r'gM to destroy
all else in the world when it pleas
es and it pleases. The man who
l'ves In the vicinity of a tiger may
have no anmosty *n his heart to
ward the tiger, but he will, never
theless, have no choice of proced
ure, and the Germans have left us
no choice, |
When ona speaks of a peace
founded upon the doctrine of no
axmexation and no Indemnity, we
can all subscribe to it if it means i
France Thanks
Women For
Clothing
Washington, Aug.. 5. —• (Cor
respondence)—Thy gratitude of the
French. Minister of Marine for the
qffer of American women enlisted
with tho Comforts Committee of
the Navy League to supply French
sailors jvlth woolen garments to
protect them against the cold and
damp of anti-submarine patrol du
ty in the war zone is expressed in
a letter from the French Naval At
tache, Commander do Blanpre, to
Mrs. James Carroll Frazer, Chap
man of the Comforts Committee,
made public here today.
The letter also conveys to the
woman of the Navy League the
thanks of a thousand French sailors
who have been outfitted with these
garments which "will be so much
appreciated during the hard service
they are going to perform this win
ter in the Ocean and Channel in
hunting the submarines."
Organ'zation of the work of mak
ing these woolen garments for
French, British and Russian sailors
is now proceeding rapidly. The
clothing supplied the Allied sailors
will be the same as that made for
American sailors under official regu
lations of the Navy Department; |
consisting of woolen sweaters, hel
mets that can be drawn down to j
the shoulders, mufflers and wrist
lets. All articles intended for1
shipment to France or other Allied
countries, the Navy League an-,
nounces, should he sent to thei
Comforts Committee he&dquarters it*
Washington, marked for the forcesi
for which they are Intended.
Here is the letter of the French'
Naval Attache conveying the thanks
of the French government for this j
aid from American women:
AUBASBAJJUi ae J'JVA.AVC,
Attache Naval
Washington, 21gi July, 1917.
My dear Mrs. Frazer:
In behalf of the men of the
French Detachment, I want to thank!
you for the thousand outfits you
have sent and which will he so
much appreciated during: the hard:
service they are going to perform
this winter in the Ocean and Chan
nel in hunting the submarnes.
I am also directed by the French
Minister of Marine to thank you
for your kind offer to send some
other warm garments to Franca to
be used by our sailors and it is a
pleasure for men to inform you
that he accepts it with gratitude.
These garments ought to be sent
to France, in care of the Vice-Ad
miral, Prefet Maritime, Brest,
Prance.
I ask you to transmit my thanks
and those of the French sailors to
the Comfort Committee of the Na
vy League of the United States.
Believe me, my dear Mrs. Frazer
Yours very sincerely,
(Signed) B. de Blanpre.
ao application to Germany of Ger-j
man methods, no seizure of Ger
man provinces, no effort to do ia
tie l*aiatinat« what Germany d'd.
ia the case of Alsace-Lorraine, no
attempt to carry off the visible
wealth of the country by a punitive
indemnity, by an indemnity collect
ad as war booty, as sheer plunder,
as Germany exacted an indemnity in,
IS 71. But who can subscribe to it
if it means that Germany shall not
make reparation for what Germans
have done ia Belgium, Serbia and
Erance, so far as reparation can be
made? Who can subscribe to xt
if it means the perpetuation of the
German wrong of 1871, the wrong
that survives in Italia Irredenta?
If the German people think as we
think now, they will themselves
recognize what must be done in the
case of Belgium, as the Russian
democracy recognized that the im
perialistic ambitons of the Roman
offs must be laid aside and the
Bolicy of enslaving other people
abandoned. But if the German peo
ple do not recognize this, we have
no cho^e but to fight until they
do, until the power to apply; this
doctrine *s taken from them, or
until we can fight no (more and mus
ourselves surrender to the German
idea. We are nearer to victory than
aver iu th'd war, but because we are
nearer we must keep on: we have
no choice, for if we hesitate now
all these three years of agony will
have been in vain. !

Jose, California, says: "I was tak
en with a terrible pain in'my back.
If I stooped, lifted or made a mis
step, 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 he had for
pains in the back and other kidney
trouble. They removed the) pain
and distress and I have never had
a return of the complaint. "(State
mentigiven October 23, 1912.)
THE RESULTS LASTED I
On May 22, 1916 Mr.Bauer said:
"My Cure has proven to be [a per
manent one. I never stop praising
Doan'a Kidney Pills." (
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
