WHAT THE HUNS WANT—FORGIVENESS.

0 Slowly but surely it is coming home to the enemy people that the German name is destined to be an offence in the nostrils of self-respecting nations for generations to come. Socialist “Vorwaerts” is therefore instigated to suggest that “guarantees of mutual forgiveness’’ should bo part of the peace terms. The Government decoy organ proposes the following peace treaty paragraph: — “Each of the States which are parties of this treaty binds itself to counteract in the sharpest possible manner all forms of incitement against other nations, especially attempts to hold the whole of another nation up to contempt. The treaty signatories especially, bind , themselves to see that provocative tendencies of this kind are not allowed to obtain a foothold in their schools. Teachers who violate this principle are to be dismissed forthwith. ” ' > Thus would the Boche, with typical ■and cunning far-sightedness, banish the possibility of ingraining in future Allied generations the story of German bestiality in the Great War.
