ous complaints known and we
understand that iu this case a
weak heart action complicated
matters
Death coming so sudden, in
fact before most of her friends
knew she was sick, was a great
shock to all. Mrs Lower was
prominent in social affairs of
the town and was ready at all
times to assist any worthy
cause. She was an active mem
her of the M. E. church and Aid
Society, likewise the Kebekah
and Royal Neighbor lodges of
which she was a deyoted mem-

NO PEACE IN SIGHT
“It is idle to talk of peace, to argue about provinces, front
iers, co’onies, while the German maintains his right to seize
what he desires; to kill when and whom lie pleases, and to ab-
rogate every la w, human or divine, which interferes with his
appetite or his lust."
These sentences, from Frank II. Siinoiuls in the New York
Iribune, express practically the unanimous view of Americans
and their Allies on the war. It is useless to deal with any
other than a defeated kaiser His treaties are •scraps of pa
per" so long as he has the force to break them. International
law. laws of humanity, all are broken under the plea ot “mili-
tary necessity,"
Peace now would he nothing more or less than a German vic-
tory. Germany has accomplished her dream of ihe Middle
Europe, the empire from Berlin to Bagdad. The lands of her
1 da nun fai m land.< are still fertile    Getman
homes have not known the ravage id an invading army of bar
harian. Peace would mean hut the beginning of preparations
for another great war, in which the forces of autocracy and
democracy would clash in another death struggle. And a pari
of that second death struggle would have to he fought out on
American soil, the granary ol the world.
Ths is no time lo falter. We can go ahead now and carry
the war into Germany, or G-nnaiiy later will tarry the war
into America.
There is too much ill timed talk ■ Lout peace.
ONCE GERMAN NOW REAL AMERICAN
“If Germany wins this war, fifty    . its government
will rule the American people. 1 do not want my American
children to be put under this yoke, which I es. aped by coming
to America. My hope is that the German government will be
overthrown and that the Cterman nation, my relatives and
frftmds, will enter an international agreement for peace and
justice
The German government lias had more than oneopportunity
to obtain all justice and terminate the war. Its actions show
that world domination, not justice, is its aim "
'I’his is part of a statement made by Max E Meyer, a prides-,
or in the ! mversity of M ouri. who was born in Germany, was
educated there and lived under Prussian rule until he was -’5
years old.
