The Huns must be reduced to such a condition of mind as will insure their doing what wo insist upon and yielding 'all that we demand. When a wise and just father chastises his incorrigible boy ho continues his discipline until the boy gives up, stops resisting and quits parleying.

Tho terms of peace must be settled altogether by allied dictation. Germany Ger-many is simply to be recognized and handled as a colossnal criminal, with no rights before the court but the right to stand in the prisoner's, box, bo judged according to the testimony, and sentenced according to tho onormity of guilt; surrendering what she has ill-gotten, and (as suggested in Judge Mayer's finding In the Lusitania suit) so far as her reduced resources permit, indemnifying for all property destroyed. de-stroyed. oo |
