If We Don't. Whip Germany, Ger
many Will Whip Us.

The more firmly and the moro
quickly that truth becomes fixed in
the minds of every American, the
sooner we will get the Job finished
II It were not for the record of brok-
en- treaties, broken promises and dis
honorable method of the German
government and the savagery of their
war methods we might consider
peace without victory" That time
has passed. A fight until Germany
surrenders Internationally is about
the only thing left.
AS Blythe says in the Saturday
Evening Post. the fact that IF we
don't whip Germany. Germany will
whip us is gradually sinking into
the national consciousness and it is
plain United States language. 1t is
bringing the people together and
making them More and more ready to
do, and more impatient with the SELF
ish directors.
If we don't whip Germany, Ger
many will whip us. We know that
mankind should be freed from despot-
ism and live as the Almighty intend
ed they should but that reason for 60
'~S to war was too Utopian for ti,i-
;oritv o. folks to subscribe to, 1t
was necessary to get down to tho
understandable proposition of either
whipping or gettiSg whipped.
Thank the Lord we will either
whip or be dead.-Ash Grove Com

Ancient Hebron, today called by
the Arabian name Ell khulil is sit
uated about twenty miles southwest
of Jerusalem, with approximately
fifteen thousand inhabitants. Al
though the British forces are nearer
to Jerusalem on the west and the
northwest. the taking of Hebron is Of
interest because tradition identifies
it as the site OF the tombs of Ahra-
ham and other patriarchs. King
David resided there the first seven
years Of his reign. A magnificent
mosque, accessible only to Moham-
metans, stands upon the traditional
site OF the patriarch's burial place.

tIoual armaments abroad and the
heavy burdens thus imposed ON other
nations.
We have rejoiced in the. belief that
our isolation made it unnecessary to
put ourselves on a military footing
commensurate with that of other h'-
tons. We have been mistaken.
We are involved in the greatest OF

follow the examples of all the other
first-class powers and enter into the
competition for supremacy in arma-
mcnt ON land ana sea.
II Will bee our purpose TO surpass an

of billions Of dollars for munitions,

Qualifications and all that our estab-
lishmeut ON a war basis involves.
4 huge public debt will be created,
for part of the burden Of military
