Show I PRESIDENT'S QUICK ANSWER. We are pleased with the quick response re-sponse President Wilson, through Sec- ' rotary Lansing, made to the Austrian peace note. And Senator Lodge's speech In the , senate on the same subject, approv- l ing the President's course, affords us ; ! confidence in our leaders. No other answer than an eniphatic NO could have been given, and serve the cause of the allies. The people of the central empires i are having a spell of nerves and their M rulers hope to calm them with the holding up of signs of peace, and it is our duty to knock down the signs as fast as they are propped up, in order ! that despair imay continue to possess our enemies. In that "way we shall r savo precious American lives as the j battle next year will be half Avon this j winter, if we persist in destroying the I morale of the people of Germany. |
