A TERRIBLE JUDGMENT
THE GERMAN NATION. AMERICAN INDICTMIBNT. (Roc. Sept, 25. 9.25 a.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 22. The New York Tribune, commenting on. the report that Germany is considering the resumption of ruthless submarining, savs: "Whv can the idea never seem to b3 eradicated from the German mind that the world is conquerable by terror? The German has raped; women, murdered children, destroyed churches, and befouled human habitations-, believing that by these acts he might terrify strong men and reduce soldiers to terror. But he has not terrified or conquered the world. He -as only roused' it as at ihas not been -roused since the first light of the modern era dispelidt the darkness of barbarian inroads. What he has really done the German, cannot now know, but- he will know when the first days of peace break the iron ring surroundbvj him and; permit- to approach him the sentiments and emotions of millions of women the world over. Never in human history was a more terrible judgment awaiting a nation than which awaits the German nation, when at last- the guns and men oi the Allies have accomplished the task ■which is but beginning.
