Scheming, planning, plotting ana
tricking for time in the hope of es
tablishing their lines in the face of
the on-rushing allied armies the Ger- j
man war-lords launched their great
peace offensive. Defeated on every
front they prayed for a breathing spell
in their disorganized flight to ruin
and disaster. With their last card
they hoped the allied nations could
be led to gamble for peace and would
rather round a conference table while
the Hnn generals were marshalling!
their forces.
President Wilson's concise and
complete reply to Maximilian's suit
for an armistice has sent the war-lords
back to their lints where they will
take the punishment that is their due.
The German master-stroke has been
met and her generals have teen repuls
ed in the game of deceitful diplomacy
Just as her barbaric armies have been j
out-fought on the field of battle.
The press of America and the allied
countries unite in praise of our presi
dent's answer. "When the time to
consider an armistice comes," he said.
