A HEART-TO-HEART TALK
From Punch.
(The Kaiser, Von Hindenburg and
Ludendorff).
Kaiser—Things continue to look
better and better for our arms; is
that not true Hindenburg?
Hindenburg—What do you say Lu-
dendorff?
Ludendorff—1 say not only that it
is true but thate it has been getting
truer and truer ever since your maj
•sty has designed to interest him
self more closely in our doings on the
western front.
The K.—Ha! 1 thought so. What
means then this persistent rumor of
a German retreat across the Mame?
H.—What do you aay Ludendorff?
L.—1 say that it is not worthy of
the slightest attention. Here is the
lateest bulletin, which 1 was just
about to submit to your majesty.
Perhaps your majesty will be good
to read ttt ^ .
The K.—Yes, yes, let me have it.
(Takca it and reads.) "Yesterday
was a day of brilliant victories for
ow breve troops. All the enemies

say further that his majesty shows a
| wonderful grasp of the principles on
v.hich war is conducted.
H.—1 agree entirely. If all were
like his majesty on this point the war
would be over very soon.
The K.—But this system of fighting
must not last too long; it would be
unwise to lure them too fur.
L.—That is all provided for, your
majesty. There comes a moment
when the strategical and the tactical
are combined into one.
The K.—How do you know when
that moment has come?
H.—What do you say Ludendorff ?
L.—That is my secret.
The K.—Well, 1 hope your secret
will have satisfactory results when
it is put into action, for according to
our expectations we ought to have
been in Paris by now, and here we
are as far away as ever.
L.—If your majesty is dissatisfied
with the manner in which the cm-
paign is conducted I can easily resign.
H.—Anr I say ditto to Ludendorff.
The K.—Come, come, don't let us
quarrel; you know you can always
resign tactically and keep your posi-
tions strategically.
H.—What do you say Ludendorff?
L.—I say that we will say no more
about it.
The k.—Very goid; I will go now
and make a speech to our troops.
(At this moment the Crown Prince
^bursts into the room.)
The Crown Prince—I say, you men.
hurry up! hurry up! If you don't do
something the French will be here in

daughters are of this kind; for their
lovers and their sons can not fail as
long ub beside the heurthstones stand
luch wives and mothers. And we have
muny, many .such women; and their
men are like unto them.
No nation can be great unless its
sons and daughters have in them the
quality to rise level to the needs of
heroic days. No army was ever great
unless its soldiers possessed the right
ing edge. So likewise the citizenship
ut u"y country is worthless unless in
a crisis it shows the spirit of the two
million Americans who in this mighty
war have eagerly come forward to
serve under the banner of the Stars,
afloat and ashore, and of the other
millions who would now be beside
them overseas if the chance had been
given them.

INFLUENZA SWEEPS THE
TOWN AND SCHOOLS
Spanish Inlfuenza is sweeping the
town and city schools in a mild form.
But few cases have shown pneumonia
complications. Many people are con-
fined to their homes with this mal-
ady and it is gaining new victims
cach day. The schools have been hit
particularly hard while many peop-
le are absent from their business on
account of an attack. The doctors
and drug stores have all thpy can do
to accomodate the needs of the sick.
Monday all the schools, theatres and
churches in Claremore were "ordered
closed on account of the influenza ep-
idemic.
TO RISE LEVEL TO THE
NEEDS OF HEROIC DAYS."
'Iheodore Roosevelt in the
Metropolitan Magazine.
Both life and death are parts of
the same Great Adventure. Never yet
was worthy adventure worthily car-
ried through by the man who put his
personal safety first. Never yet was
a country worth living in unless its
sons and daughters were of that
stern stuff which bade them tlie for
it at need; and never yet was a count-
ry worth dying for unless its sons
anil daughters thought of life not
as something concerned only with the
selfish evanescence of the individual
but as a(link in the great chain of
creution and causation, so that each
person is seen in his true relations as
an essential part of the whole, whose
life must be made to serve the larger
and continuing life of the whole.
Therefore it is that the man who is
not willing to die, and the woman
who is nol willing to send her man to
die, in a war for a great cause, are
not worthy to live.
The Wife of a fighting soldier at
the front recently wrote as follows
to the mother of a gallant bo>. who
at the front had fought in high air
like an eagle, and like an eagle, fight-
ing had died: I write these few lines-
not of condolence, for w ho would dare
to pity you ?—but of deepest symp-
c trying to bargain.
Of course Gormany would like to
bargain lor peace now. For her, as
the recent chancellor intimated, peace
•s a matter of bargain with Belgium
as a "pawn." She feels that if she can
make the bargain while she still holds
Belgium and Northern France she
can get better terms than she can
get after she has been driven out.
1 he kaiser wants to be in a position
to offer 'concessions." "We will be
liberal," he can say. "We hold your
territory. We ghadd give it back on
condition that you return our colon-
ies. The Russian colonies shall be
'independent,' but under our protect-
ion. We shall treat Alsace-Lorraine
generously, and give it self govern-
ment within the empire, of course,"
etc.
There is not the slightest evidence
of any change of heart since the Ger-
Von Wangenheim, told Ambassador
Morgenthau that the war plans had
miscarried, and the best thing to do
now was to make peace and get ready
foi tlie next war.
The Allies have no interest in this
sort of a bargain peace. The only
peace that will concern them is a
peace with a Germany that has learn-
ed by bitter experience that in the
modern world wars of conquest are
disastrous, and that the way of the
transgressor is hard.
Austria's peace invitations are neg-
ligible. If Austria wants a seperate
peace on the .basis of unconditional
