For one thing, the air is again cleared and German militarism is once more revealed in all its hideous as- j ' pects.

' than ever that this monster of autocracy autoc-racy will yield to nothing except super- J ior force, and there will be no peace un- j til Prussianism is beaten by the might j . of arms. ' Nothing will be gained by negotia- j tion of by compromises. Nothing can be expected of the German people j themselves until the military prestige upon which Prussianism rests is de- i stroyed. It may take a year or two j j years or five years, but if there is ever j j a peace that is better than a truce, the j allies must make up their minds to j fight the thing through, cost what it J j may New York World. j . i |
