The frightfulness of our position be

The dead bodies, the smashed furni-

NO PEACE NOW.


Those who are crying for peace by
negotiation" would have us believe all
that is necessary to end the war Is
for representatives of the belligerents
to gather around council table.
Unfortunately for their theory his
tory shows "peac conferences are
often the seed plots of new wars.
Probably a majority OF the devas'
tating wars which have racked LII
rope for centuries originated in the
patched up treaties of peace, in which
greedy, short sighted kings and diplo-
mats bartered away the rights OF peo-
pies and parcelled out national terri
tory as so much real estate.
On the other. hand, peace by vic
tory" or unconditional surrender"
usually settles things for good. We
have to go no further than our own
civil war.
!. If Lincoln had listened to the cop
,perheands. of his time and made peace
this continent would be split in twain
between two republics armed to the
teeth and ready to spring at each 9th
.;er's threats on the slightest irritation.
But he preferred peace with vic
tory, and today the vanquished as well
as the vctors rejoice that the thing
was settled forever.
1t has not been five years since a
horrible and bloody war sprang from
q peace conference called to make a
peace by negotiation"
The first Balkan war did not 60 to
q logical conclusion because of the
financial exhaustion of the belliger
ents, the outbreak of cholera in
Thrace and the threat of intervention
by the big powers.
The diplomats of the warning states
met in conference at London to patch
up peace by negotiation" 1t was
typical diplomatic gathering. All
the high grade international crooks
burglars and second story men were
there-either in the conference OF
lobbying around it. A peace which
was a compromise of greedy desires
absolutely unrelated to justice, racia
or national integrity or the economic
interests Of the people was patched
up.
:. The ink was hardly dry on the
treaty of London before second ant
more deadly war broke out among the
former allies, Turkey again butted il
and Rumania FASTENED to jump OF
Bulgaria after she was down, and loo
the loser.
Another patched up treaty was ther
,negotiated-and although it was more
conclusive than the first 1t settled
nothing-it was compromise of con
,fiicting avarice., Austria was the sin
lister figure in the background of thi:
second peace by negotiation" and il
the treaty of Bucharest were sowet
the seeds which a year later sproutet
into the war of the world.
Do we want any more peace b,
negotiations" to be followed I'D a few
months later by new WARMTH :
new lineup of nations?
Peace by negotiation" is one of tn,
favorite phrases of the motley ele
ments which are trying to paralyz
the strong right arm of America an,
avert the doom of Prussianism.
. If this war is war of democrac,
against despotism-a final struggle O
western liberty against oriental slay
ery-the Armageddon of civilizatio,
against Dafbarism-then peace b.
negotiation" can only be compared t
truce between Christ and the deyi
The holy book tells US that Sata,
took Christ up onto a high mountain
and proposed peace by negotiation

Parshall Leader: As was to be ex-
pected the German peace proposals
were seized upon by the grain gamb-
lers to pound down the price Of wheat.
We have heard it argued over and ov-
err again, generally by someone in the
grain business, that grain gambling
conduces to the farmers good, pal
pable falsity. While it is true that the
grain gamblers have the price mp and
down, in the ultimate effect thousands
of them cop off fat living at the bus
mess, and their profits come from the
farmers and fools who imagine they
can beat them at their own game.
We're grain gambling and grain gamb-
ling devises made impossible it would
be for the betterment Of all--except-
ing the grain gamblers alone-it would
put them out Of business.

Louis Rotha as a FIGHTER.

The BOer army organization would
not be taken as q model for any mod
ern military system, but it's very weak
nesses made easier the rise to high
command of able subalternS. AT least
it gave a young officer his chance to
show what was in him. Botha got his
chance under Joubert. 1t was only a
matter of weeks before this field cor
net was in command of armies. At
Colenso Botha with 5000 men held off
Butler with $4,000 and made such use
of the deep trench as has become IA
miliar in the great war during the past
two years. European experts have
studied with profit Botha's brilliant de-
lenses. The shrewdness with which
he OWNED the enemy's intentions was
almost uncanny, and more than once it
made him victor of a doubtful field.
His only military training had been
received years before in campaigns
against the ZuluS. He was never
known to use q map. His accurate
knowledge of the country made maps
