Neither have they had the effect ef-fect of bolstering up the cause of the kaiser at home. The government at Washington will not consider peace until the last Germaa or Austrian soldier sol-dier has been withdrawn or driven from tbe occupied territory, and even then the central powers will not be allowed al-lowed to escape proper punishment for their crimes. There is much peace talk in Germany at the present time, and it is believed that Von Hertling will sonn resign or be forced out of office. Theo-dor Theo-dor Wolff declares that "a new era is coming," and that Yon Hertling" belongs be-longs to a generation whoso knell is being rung amid the cannon's thunder," thun-der," which is no doubt true. But the new era will not be ushered in until the claws of Prussia and Austria have been cut and their power for evil ! broken forever. t is too late for Gcr- I man publicists and powspaners to talk of the horrors of war ami the brother- I hood of man.
