"Whom are they trying to trick nowt What new betrayals are they preparing For what fresh burst of ferocity is this all a mask! Germany ostcnsibly holds out an olive branch, but prudent statesmen insist upon examining it to see if it does not con ccal dagger
 Thus is the fatcd and terrible punish .mcnt of Germany already beginning. She is rcaping what she has sowed Her rulers have brought the good name of the country into disrcputc. Their promises no longer pass anywhere at their face value It is as if the word German had now become am international trademark for double lcaiug. This is the havoc which the Ger man government, in three years, has made .or the proud old tradition of 'Deutsche Trcuc.'
 To-day Germans look around the hor- izou and see nowhere a friend, nowhere a nation that will accept the bare pledge of thc German government. Everywhere they perceive dislike and distrust. This is the moral punishment of Germany for her crimes, and it is not to be wondered at that many of her citizens are crying out that the punishment is greater than they can bcar.'
 And the Post might we'll have added to the above that, in losing her moral status, Germany has alicnatcd the love and res ptct of hundreds of thousands of German Americans who formerly felt kindly to- ward her as their birthplace but who now blush when they reflect that they were once loyal to such a country

GERuANY's GREATEST LOSS

Germany i> today the least respected of amy country under the sun. mot only in the ranks of upward of twenty powers and nations with which she is at war, but with alI the ucutruls as we'll By her own acts ,hr ha, forfeited an her rights to consider atiou at the hands of others and never again will the respect and position she once held among the nations of the world be hers. Her moral loss is even greater than hrr financial loss.
 The New York Evening Post. which has alI along been considered quite fricnd- Iv to the Germans. rcmarkmg con the trc- mcudouS misIortmcs which have bcfallcu Germany in the way of loss of man power. practical exhaustion of her finances the failure of her food supply loss of her ship ping and commerce, says that all these things combined do not equal the one great loss to that country she has brought upon herself by repeated bctrayals of confidence. The Post continues:
 "Gcrmauy has to mourn today great cr loss than any of those mentioned. She has squaudcrcd her moral assets. At a time when she needs to call up an her re- serves of good faitL and confidence, she finds that they have been wasted
 ''Nobody believes her. Nobody trusts hcr. Upon the German government the disagrccablc evidence that she is morally bankrupt is being pressed from every quarter
 "ThiS is the mdisputabc truth which stands out in the reception throughout the world of the latest peace proposals of Ger many. They meet with almost universal sccpticism and suspicion.
 "It is Germany herself that has taught the world to distrust her. A long course of lawlcssucss hcapcd upon duplicity, of brutality mtcrmmglcd with deceit, has made every uttcrancc of the German gov crumcut suspect. Hence the amazing, the painful mnimity with which the public men and press in all bcligcrcnt and neu- tral countries have looked upon the re- pcatcd peace offers of the German author itics as merely a snare for the mwary.

WHAT SHERMAN REALLY SAID

General Shcrmm's often quoted and at thc present time most significant state mcut regarding war, is not known by many in its entirety. Here is what the famous general really did say, and it is classic;
 II confess without shame that I ann tired and sic, of War. It's glory is all moon shucs Even success, the most brilliant is over dead and manglcd bodies, the anguish and lmcutation of distant families appeal ing to me for missing sons, husbands and fathers It is only those who have not heard a shot nor heard the smicks and groms of the wounded and laccratcd, that cry aloud for more blood, more vengeance, more dcsolation War is hcll!'

FEW sLACKERs
 IN THE NORTH
Pioneers of This COutry Experienced More Dangers Than Exist on

There are many young mon in Alaska and elsewhere who hesitate when Uncle Sam informs them that he wants them. These same men accord Co the pioneers Of this coun- | try very little glory for having cn- durcd tho hardships and faced tho dangers through which they were forced to go in the conqucring of tho frozen north.
 They do not pause to calculate that larger per cent of thc men who enlisted to subdue General Are tic Iceberg North have pcrished in the conflict than have perIshcd be- fore General Bin Hohcuzolloru. And they were an volunteers. There were many "slackcrs" who deserted and wont back homo," but enough Of them stayed at the front Co change Alaska from goe-polc trans portation Co that Of the steam en- zine. ThcrcIl be no slackcrs among the pioneers of Alaska in this com quest with Bin Hohcnzollcrn, for they havo rode rafts on Che Yukon, climbed glaciers an the mountains, fought mosquitoes on the Kusko- kwlm. and ate dog at their ban qucts. Burs little submarines win furnish no tcrrors for them. They have taken their lives in their hands SO often that they would think mo more of starting for France than they would of starting over thc Val dcz glacier on a summers day
 The banks of the Yukon are cov- cred with thc blcachcd bones Of the soldiers of the North who took a greater risk of life in an attempt Go subduo the stubborn frontier. than any boy will take who now answers Che call of his country Every boy should so Co the front He may not strike a gold mine, but he may win an that gold can buy -tho plaudits of his friends everywhere He may die on the battlefield and be buried in an unmarked grave, but many an Alaskan pioneer has done thc same. He may not win any glory other than having been military pros pcctor but thcrc are hundreds Of old pioneers in Alaska who fought bravcly, endured every hardship, but who today are being shipped in punches" bcrcft ot reason, and their maintenance let Co the lowest bidder" He may bc wounded by shot and shell, but many an old pio- nccr has been shot with rheumatism and insanity lf we knew today that ono of our boys was going Co start over Valdez glacier and au- other was starting for France. our greatest worry would bc for Che boy on thc glacier Hc would have thc greater danger ahead. IT death overlook him he would have no fu- neral no grave, other than a crev- assc in Che ice.
 So, Sons Of Alaskan Sircs, if your country calls you, be not afraid. You may stake on a rich creek" You may return with a poke full Co the string with ncvcr-dying glory That is something that gold cannot buy. You may get nothing but mica schist and come home bcreft of reason. and have "slackcrs" bid against each other as Co who win keep you thc cheapest" for the remainder of your life; but Che soldiers Of the North have done Che same.

That "Pcrsonal Liberty" layout in Gin cunati might well save postage on the lit- cratmc it is sending to this portion of the country, as all it has sent and a million times more will not keep Alaska from zoe ing bone dry the first of the coming year. Those booze manufacturers and dealers in states yet on the wet list are, to use a poe litical expression, viewing with alarm the outlook that confronts them, but they are not helping their cause by sending out walls about the dying business.
