They Want an Honorable" Peace
From Daily Financial Amerlca)

for forty years and which through
world domination was to crown the
whole structure of Germany's ambi'
ton. would deserve anything that
happened.
Above all nations Austria has least
reason to trust Germany. Austria
was Prussia's ally in the shameful
war on little Denmark. Immediately
on tearing Denmark apart Prussia
turned on Austria and crushed her.
It's sure as fate, no matter how the
present war ends, Germany will pick
a quarrel with Austria and plumber
her TO pay in part for the cost to Ger
many of this war.
Germany IS without conscience,
without truth, without deceney. She
has made a virtue Of Hypocrisy and
is crazy enough to believe the un-
truth which she utters parrot-like
week in and week out, month In and
month out, year in and year out.
And Austria, poor, foolish Austria,
which really has the contempt OF
Germany and is treated as a poor
relation or an underling, is made to
repeat the words Of the German.
An honorable peace2 What does
peace2 What does Germany know Of
honor? No man believes a confirmed
perjurer. Germany stands before the
family OF nations as one whose word
cannot be accepted, one to whom
honor Is unknown, one made mad by
blood lust and who will listen to no
argument except the one of force.
There can be no talk of peace with
Germany except with Germany on
her knees, with Germany sane, with
Germany contrite, with Germany un-
able to run amuck and murder at her
VII. To parley with such a murderer
Of nations as Germany has been,
would be unthinkable. The only ar
gument that has weight and force
with a blood crazed Teuton is a club.
The Allies must use the club upon
Germany until Germany Is beaten.
DR.. Michaelis and Count Czernin
may find It polite to talk OF honor
able peace but the peace" that
comes out of this war must be over

Austria or the world will know no
peace.

The Senate has been spending
much time this week in discussing
what we are fighting for.
It is to be hoped that some inspired
orator will include among the things
for which we fight-VictOry.
AS to specific ends would It not be
well to Eight a little before graveiy
discussing terms of peace2 Thus far
our armies are still in the making.
Our aviation fleet is all in the air in
slang sense only, the construction
Of the feet with which we are to.
blind the Germans being not yet be-
gun. Our navy Is In active service,
but that is precisely the form OF as
sistance which the Allies need least
though they gratefully accept It. Elk
cept for material assistance In a
financial way to the Allies the part
of the United States in the war is as
yet negligible. The immediate answer
to the query. What are we fighting
for?" is that we have not yet begun
to fight.
It is a notorious fact that the per.
sons in our national legislature, and
in those abroad in private life as well
as in public life, who profess them
selves puzzled by the reasons for the
continuance of the war, who demand
continued restatement Of those rea-
sous and who are clamorous for
peace propositions, are invariably
pro Germans.
This is as true in our Senate cham
Der as it is in the spy infested body
Of the Russian WOrkmen's and Sol
diers' Deputies.
/ But # there are still persons dense
enough to misunderstand the reasons
why we are at war Il should not be
difficult 10 restate them.
The United States is at war pri
marily because GERMANY slaughtered
on the high seas, prior to our declar
alton of war, 166 American citizens
in the exercise of their undOubtet
right to travel on peacenble business
During the same period twenty Amer
lean ships we're sunk by the Germans
without a shadow Of legal justifica
ton. Being called TO account by thu
President, the German Government
at first promised a conditional aban
donment of the illegal practice. thel
arrogantly declared its purpose o
continuing its submarine warfar
upon neutral shipping with evei
greater frightfulness than before.
That is the technical reason 70
our presence among the Allies. Wa
was our only answer to the German
threat. But there were contributin
reasons for our act.

Blue Ribbon Meet

With an entry that far over-shadows
that of recent years the annual Blue
Ribbon grand circuit meeting at De-

sporting affairs of the year. Racing
begins on the state fair track on Mon
day, July %, and continues through
five afternoons, during which the best
trotters and PAGERS in the world will be
in action.
The entry in the M. q Nj. and other
classics not only was record, but a
greater percentage of the horses have
been kept eligible, and on top OF that
comes the announcement that the en-
try in the class events exceeds the
fondest hopes of the club officials. In
these events are the grand circuit
horses and the winners from the Michi'
gan and Ohio circuits, 80 that there ia
every likelihood of the finest variety of
sport. These half-milers have shown
such wonderful Sights of speed that
promise to make Geers, Murphy, Cox
and the rest of the top-notch reinsmen
employ all their skill to be in the thick
of the fray.
The stakes are distributed, one OF
more daily, and they are thanked with
the purse events, so that the program
is we'll balanced with special features
every afternoon. Frank Walker, king
of the starters, will dispatch the fields
and the judges are picked from the
most experienced men available. There
will be daily band concerts.

War Preparedness Board

Lansing, July II, l9l7:-The State
War Preparedness Board, which has
been conducting an active campaign
for the recruitment of the National
Guard for several months, is making
final appeal to the young men Of the
state to enlist. The Board points out
that il Is almost the afternoon Of the
last day for those who are hesitating in
their desire to become volunteers.
Amy young man who desires to
serve with Michigan regiment in this
war;" says the appeal in part, rather
than among strangers Of the selective
army, has little time left. First, because
the National Guard is filing up rapidly
in fact, it is now very close to war
strength. Second, because there is a
probability after the guard is called
out, recruits will be actually refused
because the lacking men will be taken
from the selective army.
'1f the Michigan troops should be
sent directly to the border, these add.
tional men to save transportation,
might come to them from the drafts of
Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and Cali
fornia. Michigan draft troops might
be sent for the same reason, to camps
at New Jersey where guardsmen of
other states are to train for France.
W'There il q chanca of cOurse that we
might be able to transport recruits from
Michigan to the Michigan regiments at
our own expense. But there's nothing
certain about this. 1t is certain, though
that if man enlists now, he can go in
to the organization where the friends
from his home community are. If he
waits until the draft, neither he nor we
can tell where he will CO."
