Candid and Simple Won Tirpi1

Retired German Admiral Won Tnpitz
this week announced that Germany
must have Belgium. It is necessary
to Germanys safety. We must have
something in the way Of compensation
for our enormous economic losses. Mr..
Won Tirpitz' simplicity outweighs his
candor. To be sure. Germany started
the trouble so that she might take it
"Withou, sour leave" Why could he
not have announced this TACT to the
world before ten million human beings
we're butchered and thousand billion
dollars we're expended. and At the same
time told shuddering world what the
alternative would be. II he could
have convinced England. France and
Belgium what the alternative meant
they might have consented TO the
peaceful transfer. This reminds US OF
the outraged horse thieI down in
Oklahoma. When on the way to the
peni,entiary he reviled the owner of
the horse, and said he was really re-
sponsible for his undoing. II the loE
down scoundrel had had 10 horse" he
he walled, Il would not have stolen
it."
Mr.. Won Tirpitz can. like the horse
thief, blame the whole war on Belgium.
II the architec, Of the universe had not
placed Belgium where it vas necessary
to Germany's military security she
would not have needed ii, consequently
would not have started the var. Seel
Just as simple as the Oklahoma horse
,hiePs proposition.

GERMANS APPEAL FOR
CHRISTMAS PRESENTS

Copenhagen, Nov. 19.-Appeals for
subscriptions to funds for the pur-
chase of Christmas presents for the
soldiers in the trenches are appear
ing in the German press. The Ger
mans have learned by experience to
make a nearly start in organizing this
all.important feature of soldiers life
MANY of the larger newspapers are
conducting special funds for Christ
mas and almost every town is making
subscriptions for its soldiers. Ap
meals for funds have been issued by
various army corps.
The presents which do SO much 70
maintain the spirits of the soldiers
in their dreary life at the front usual
" consist of small Christmas boxes
for the individual soldiers, containing
small articles of comfort, necessity oil
