Germany, after ravaging Bel

small provinces in Europe, is
making big claims of a mighty
victory. and is now proposing
to the great allied nations of
France. England and Russia.
peace negotiations. These coun
tries, however, are not taking
such soft soap talk seriously j.
and are just going ahead with
the war. determined to win a f.
nal and lasting victory over
Germany, and force that coun
try to indemnify the little, weak
nations, which it has ruthlcssly
and wantonly over-run, for all
their losses. For England and
France to conclud peace with
Germany without Belgium be.
ing fully recompensed would be
a cowardly and discreditable

Before another issue of this
paper goes before the public,
Christmas will have come and
gone. From the present outlook,
many people are making their
arrangements to have a joyous
time. There have been good crops
and extraordinary good prices
this season, and many persons
pockets are fairly buldging out
and overlooking with money,
who have, heretofore, hardly
known how the coin of the realm
looked. Go ahead, have good,
old fashion Christmas time but
do not over do the thing. The
day should be spent in joyous
pleasure, but not in riotous

POOR, UNFORTUNATE BELGIUM.

belgium, HUE country, olCe
inhabited by a peace-loving, in
dustrious and prosperous people,
lies between Germany and
France. By treaty stipulations
between the great powers of Eu-
rope, one among them being
Germany, it was agreed that her
neutrality should, at all times, be
respected and her soil should not
be invaded by armed forces of
any of the powers. But when
the present conflict between Ger
many and the entente allies
broke out, Germany, desiring to
rush upon France by an easy
and unprotected route, sought to
march its armed horde over Bel
GUMS solemnly treaty protect
ed land; and when confronted
with its treaty agreement, re-
piled, through its Chancellor,
that treaty -stipulations were but
scraps of paper, and forthwith
violated its sacred honor. Bel
GUM, proud, patriotic and noble,
resisted, to its utmost, Germa-
ny's armed ruffians, but all in
vain. The fair land of Belgium
fell prey to the strong forces of
the powerful nation of the
Kaiser, and desolation, ruin,
outrage and vandalism swept,
| like wild-fire, over the hitherto
peaceful and happy state. Cities
were burned, temples were de
stroyed, men butchered, women
outraged and murdered, and not
even the innocent children were
spared. And this, too, by en-
lightened. civilized and christian
Germany country whose EN-
peror boasts that he is an instru-
ment in the hands of God, for
the bettering of earthly condi-
tions.
While the civilized nations of
the world have looked upon this
fearful picture with awe and de-
testation, they have tacitly con
doned it by the continuation of
diplomatic relations with coun-
try which no decent considera-
ton should be given and no re-
spect shown. But this dark pic
ture of blood and carnage, which
is laid at Germany's door, is not
the worst. There is now, still
another and darker one. After
running the state, impoverishing
its people and crushing its in
dusTies, Germany IS now en-
gagged in the damnable outrage
of enslaving the population of
Belgium. 1t has not been con
tent with confiscatine the prop
erty of the civilians, and levy
ing tribute, to the utmost farth-
ing on the poor, depressed peo-
pie, but it is now deporting them
by the hundreds, men and wom-
en-, to Germany, as slaves. In
the goth century, in the height
of the worlds civilization, we
find a country, and the one too
that boasts of a superiority in
refinement, enlightenment and
christianity, going back to the
cruel and inhuman practices of
the medieval ages, when the
conqueror carried his victims,
chained to his chariot, back to
his native land, as his slaves and
his chattels.
President Wilson has entered
his solemn protest 30 Germany
against its last nefarious and in
famous outrage upon the Bel
GUM people; and if the protest
brings no favorable results, Just
what action he viii take is not
well known, but it is sage to
conclude that he will do all in
his power, backed by the Ameri-
can people, to see that Germany
desists from other deportation of
the Belgiums and re-establishes
those they have carried in
to slavery back to their own
country and into their own
homes.
