America Is Making War
Without Desire For Gain.

Can peace be based upon a restitu-
ton of its power or upon any word OF
honor it could pledge in a treaty Of
settlement and accommodation?
Response bic statesmen must now
everywhere see. If they never saw be-
fore. that no peace can rest securely
upon political or economic restriction
meant to benefit some nations and Grip
pie or embarrass others. upon vindic-
tive action of any sort, or any kind of
revenge or deliberate injury.
The American people have suffered
intolerable wrongs at the hands of the
imperial German government. but they
desire no reprisal upon the German
people. who have themselves suffered
all things in this war, which they did
not choose. They believe that peace
should rest upon the rights of peoples,
great or small, weak or powerful-their
equal right to freedom and security and
seif-government and 70 participation
upon fair terms in the economic oppor-
tunities of the world-the German peo-
pie Of course included, if they will &C

diers that will be found in Camp

here from every part Of the United
states and who have worked in all

Blodgett found at Camp Shelby when
he arrived. Company F. First Indiana
infantry. from Cary. with three Off
GERS and $50 men: Company p, Second
Indiana. from Jacksonville. three Of
icers and al men; Company F. Third
Indiana. from South Bend. three Off

apolis. five officers and 50 men; Am
bulance Company No. 1. Indianapolis,
five officers and 100 men.
Blodgett says the camp will be ready
to receive the National Guard Of Indi-
ana and Kentucky in three weeks The
delay is due. he says. to the failure of
electrical equipment to arrive for the
waterworks plant He says there is no
doubt that there VIII be an ample sup
ply Of good water.
AT present" Blodgett says. about
1900 soldiers. including the official
stan OF the regular army. and 500 ami
mails are being supplied with water
from a spring a pump forcing the
water in the mains. Two large ar
tesisn wells have been sunk in the
camp. the water coming through gravel
and sand within twenty feet OF the
surface The experts say that when
this twenty feet OF earth Is bored
through the water will flow in large
quantities
There has been some talk up north
about malaria It is admitted by
physicians that there Is some malaria
here. but this is not the part of Missfs-
sippi where malaria becomes epidemic
Malaria that has been here has been
confined to the lowlsnds where the
stagnant pools and puddles OF water
breed mosquitoes. Sanitary officers
are cleaning out the spots. and while
there are mosquitoes. they are the
same kind of blood suckers that are
found everywhere IN Indiana. Experts
have not yet discovered the species OF
mosquitoes that carry malaria. Officers
or Indiana units declare that they
have discovered no mosquitoes on the
camp site.
The climatic conditions OF the
camp are magnificent. In the morning
1T is cool and pleasant At noon II is
hot but there Is not so much heat at
the noon hour at the camp or at Hat
tiesburg as in Ohio street In front of
the Federal building in indianapolis.
The nights are cool and refreshing.
The Indiana soldiers who went through
the mtseries Of LIano Grande on the
Texas border will call Camp Shelby a
paradise"
Blodgett's letter will bring great re-
lief to the anxious people Of Indiana
who will have sons or other relatives
in Camp Shelby and who have heard
stories about the place.

MiIitariSm Is Ruthless
Master of German People.

This power is not the German peo-
pie. 1t is the ruthless master of the
German people. 1t is no business of
ours how that great people came under
its control or submitted with temporary
zest to the domination of its purpose.
but il is our business to see to it that
the history of the rest Of the world is
no longer left to its handling.
ITO deal with such a power by way
OF peace upon the plan proposed by his
Holiness, the Pope. would, so far as
We can see. involve a recuperation of
its strength and a renewal of its policy;
would make il necessary to create a
permanent hostile combination of ma
tons against the German people. who
are its instruments, and would result in
abandoning the new born Russia 70 the
intrigue. the manifold subtle interfer-
ence. and the certain counter revolution
which would be attempted by all the
malign Influences 10 which the German
government has OF late accustomed the

Tyranny and Brutality

1T is manifest that no part of this

the free peoples of the world from the
menace and the actual power of vast

irresponsible government which. having
secretly planned 10 dominate the world

out regard either TO the sacred obliga-
tions of treaty or the long established
practices and long cherished principles
of international action and honor
which chose its own time for the war;
