no truo American will ovor submit

ish America along with her faith-
ful allies must dictate peace when it
comes. To accept any peaco that Gor-
many la willing to offor would mean
another war moro tqrriblo than tho
present within fifteen years. Peace
advocates and Gorman propagandists
are fooling themselves if they believe
that peaco at this Umo will save
THEIR FAMILIES and leave unborn
generations to bear tho burdens of
anothor war Peaco now will furnish
the opportunity for Germany to re-
organize hor forces and will mako it
not only possible but sure that the
dreams of world domination that the
Kaiser and his lords keep talking
