The kaiser’s ancestors were placed
on the throne because they convinced
the people they were descended from
the gods the Germans worshipped at
that time and had a strong pull with
these deities Just now these gods
seem to be taking a vacation or else
the kaiser has lost his pull

A few months ago we heard that
France “had been bled white” by the
awful losses of the war Her recent
achievements however would IndB

A report from Berlin says the
Turks have decided not to follow
the example of the Bulgarians and
desert the Huni3h alliance It was
also reported from Berlin early in
the- spring that Hindenburg would
dine in Paris April 1 and that the
Americans would never amount to

The capture of Lens Is one of the
most important events of the past
few momentous weeks This is the
coal mining center of France and
from it the Huns have obtained a
great part of their supply for the past
four years The British made sev-
eral determined attempts to take
this place but the Germans have
heretofore resisted so fiercely that It
-was impossible In true Hun style
the mines have probably been wreck-
ed but even thought it may be
months before the Allies can derive
any benefit from them there are no
longer furnishing fuel for the mu-
nition factories of the Germans thus
hampering them in no small degree
in this vital feature
are not willing to admit they have
sinned and are ready to ask forgive-
ness so long will “Force Force to
the uttermost” be used to drive this
willingness home A convicted con-
tract breaker must not be surprised
to find mankind adverse to accept-
ing his word at face value Even If
the thousands of deeds done by Ger-
many were not enough to make us
doubt the sincerelty of the German
leaders the words of Herr S Her-
zog the eminent German commer-
indemnlty to help rebuild northern
France Belgium and Serbia must be
paid It means that Italy must have
the country about the Adriatic that
belongs to her It means that the
Zhecko-Slavs and the Jugo-Slavs
must be free It means that Poland
must be free from German machina-
tions It means that the German
army must be demobilized and mili-
tary training in Germany stopped in
the main It means that never again
can the German murderers declare
- Wilson’s answer to the - German
peace discussion proposal was exact-
ly what the public thought it would
be He refused to be deceived by their
camouflage and demanded to be In-
formed unequivocally whether or not
Germany accepted his terms and re-
fused to consider a mere discussion
of them He very wisely insisted
that the Huns evacuate occupied ter-
ritory as a preliminary and stated
that there can be no discussion of an
armistice until this is done' the bat-
tle to continue until the Huns do
this His inquiry of Chancellor Max-
imilian whether he represents the
German people or merely the offi-
cials who brought on and are car-
rying on the war is a poser The gov-
erning class of Germany has always
considered itself as above and apart
from the people and now the chan-
cellor must say something It will toe
noted that Wilson did not refuse to
consider peace he left the way open
by the form of his note but made It
plain that Germany must get off her
high horse when Bhe really wants
peace Meanwhile the Huns have not
slackened up in their work of de-
struction of private property In Bel-
gium and France while -pretending
to seek peace

Brute force is the only argument
the Germans are capable of under-
standing and that is what the Allies
are now warning Germany will be
applied if they continue their course
of burning and destroying all proper-
ty that falls into their hands They
now threaten to destroy a German
city for every one wantonly destroy-
ed in France and Belgium and as
a soldier in the American army who
wants the war to stop before that
time The German ruler has insulted
the civilized world by talking of hon-
or He boasts that the western front
is not broken but it will be broken
and that before long and It will be
broken for all time Never again
’must a member of the Hohenzollern
family be able to establish a military

A splendid example of doing one’s
bit is given by little Miss Leona
Krieger the five-year-old daughter
of C F Krieger and wife of Ada
When the call came for peach seed
with which to make a special kind of
charcoal to be used in gas masks the
little one realized that the soldiers
needed help and she at once set to
work to do her pait She picked ly a
large sackful at least two hushels
and these will be sent to the war de-
partment When it is remembered
that 200 seed make enough charcoal
for one mask it will be seen that the
little girl’s work will mean the sav-
ing of several American lives The
point is that if every one does his or
her part as well as this little girl
the kaiser’s throne will soon crash
and the world freed of the menace
of Prussianism
ANOTHER GERMAN TRICK
It will be noted that the German
they are nearing the German border and Austrian governments in their
they will soon be in a position to latest peace offensive merely 3ay
wtfeak ei'rible vengeance on the they will DISCUSS peace with the
Huns Even now an incalculable Allies on the principles laid down
amount of damage could be done by by President Wilson Not once do
indiscriminately bombing German they say they will accept these
cities instead of confining the air terms When they show that they
raids to military posts and rail- are really in earnest about It they
roads will signify their unconditional ac-
o ceptance of these terms the Allies
That Austria-Hungary is anxious
to secure peace now goes without
saying The fact has not been drill-
ed forcibly enough into the con-
sciousness of the Austrian rulers
however that peace cannot be made
with a Germany that still considers
itself victorious Austria-Hungary
can get peace the exact minute this
dual monarchy agrees to the terms
of President Wilson and not until
then This country laces a condition
that was never faced before by an
nation in the world Whether the
monarchy fights one day longer or
one year longer makes no special dif-
leience so far as the control of the
monarchs over various nationalities
is concerned The wise thing for Em-
peror Charles to do is to ask for
peace terms any kind of peace terms
just as Bulgaria did Charles then
would have his throne If he con-
tinues in the same mad course he is
now pursuing he may find himself
without a throne and the people
whom he has ruled will be burdened
by unnecessary taxation
A MATTER OF TIME ' will be ready to end the bloody con-
We rejoice at the fact that Bulgar- flict Until then we must judge Ger-
ia is out of the war and that the many by her past perfidous record
forces formerly operating against the and regard this as just - another
Germany of the Balkans will now be trick to gain time and perhaps £ain
released to march through the back at the conference table what her
door of Austria-Hungary The peace armies are unable to accomplish on
with Bulgaria will prooably mean the battlefield
that Turkey wilLget out of the war As we see it the Huna have four
before spring althougn the latest objects in view The first is to get
St Quentin all mighty fortresses on
the famous Hindenburg line are
now in the hands of the Allies Be-
tween Cambral and St Quentin the
British French and Americans are
cl beyond the Hindenburg fortifica-
tions and seem to be in the open
country It appears now that Foch
ma ypour enough troops through this
broken part of the line to flank both
the northern and then the southern
wings of the German army For a
time we thought the Germans were
preparing for a big retreat out of
northern France and Belgium It now
appears that this is not their in-
tention From the course the battle
is taking It appears that the military
rulers of Germany have decided to
gamble upon letting tbe German
army stand where it is and fight as
best it can They probably figure
that a retreat means disaster that
to stand they have a chance of the
weather slowing up Foch’s attacks
to such an extent that several months
time will be had for peace proposals
If the weather is fair and not too cold
for another thirty or forty days we
look to see great bodies of the Ger-
mans surrounded and captured and
the effectiveness of the armies reduc-
ed almost to the zero point It seems
that Germany is gambling on her
chances of getting out of this war up-
on old man Winter

We should not be too optimistic

period for intense fighting in Europe the people to believe that peace Is at

good weather will continue as long
or longer than usual fighting can be
expected to keep up for only three
or four weeks Of course it is possible
to fight all through the winter but
not in the same huge way that it is
going on now
With the Bulgarian railroads un-
der the control of the Allies it will
be easy to move troops hurriedly but
to get an army o the Danube and
well supplied with material before
cold weather is a feat for the Gods
and not for human beings Even were
Turkey to ask for peace today It

own people with an appeal to keep
up the war to the last man since
they offered peace and the Allies
refused evidently being determined
to exterminate the German race
The Allies have not forgotten how
Rpssia and Rumania fared at their
peace conferences how the Germans
agreed that there would be no an-
nexations and no indemnities and
then robbed these nations of every-
thing in sight They know what
the German word is worth and will
not be hoodwinked into a bogus
peace conference What the Allies

Paris Oct 3 — (Correspondence of
The Associated Press) — There is a
steadily growing belief in Rumania
that if the German domination and
oppression continues there may be
an uprising among the people par-
ticularly if the food and clothing
famine is not relieved There are
many who feel says a prominent Ru-
manian who has just returned here
from Jassy that it may not be im-
possible that the Rumanian army
will again take up arms against the
Central Powers This conviction said
he is the stronger since the recent
decisive victories of the Allies on the
Western front and surrender of Bulgaria

fall though it is too much like hop-
ing against hope to expect peace to
materialize To get peace this fall
Marshal Focli must deliver such a
blow against the tired German sol-
diers that they will reel before him
and give up the fight The great re-
treat to the Meuse Is about to be-
gin if we can read the signs cor-
rectly When this retreat is in prog-
ress Marshal Foch will try to turn it
into a rout If he succeeds the war
will be over If he fails the war will
drag on until next year when the
great offensive will start east through
Loraine That the Germans will be
practically out of France before
snow flies is certain granting that
another week or two of fighting can
be had before bad weather sets in
General Foch is a genius giving
smashing blows on the rear guard of
a retreating foe and may destroy the
enemy
The outcome is only a matter of
time Whether the end comes this fall
or next summer depends upon the fail

tion :
