MAETERLINCK ON WAR
Noted Writer Says Germany Must Be
Completely Crushed by Allies.

Nice, France, Feb. S.-Peace will
come only after Germany is beaten
to her knees and forced by armed
strength to acknowledge herself
wrong, is the opinion of Maurice
Maeterlinck, who, in an interview to-
day declared that 1917 would be the
last year of the war
'TheSGermans will be beaten" said
the noted writer. Big battles are be-
ing prepared in which the Germans
will go down to defeat. Prussian
militarism will be crushed. Real
peace can come in no other way.
AN analysis of the German peace
proffer and the reply of the entente
allies show how far apart they are
now. Germany's note breathes pride
of victory and pride of power. That
spirit must be broken.
Belgian, Serbia and Montenegro
face German suzerainty the same
which has crushed Alsace Lorraine
for years. That would be intoIerabIe
Better entire extinction than that"

the rents in cities that have secured
cantonments has risen to such heights
that many people are contemplating

in this great strife. If the world is
to be made safe for people to live in,
the war must go on until the ruthless
German spirit is crushed.

The South, when this great war is
over, is going to find its freedom from
the smokehouses and barns of the
West, unless all signs fail. Here and
there we have had farmer who has
lived in that happy state even before
the war, and he has been prosperous
and contented, although in so helpless
a minority. Recently the writer was
in the home of one of the most sue
cessful farmers, and the dinner, quite
an elaborate one, was furnished from
home products except the sugar that
was used and the salt that seasoned
the food. The present high prices in
foodstuffs had no terror for this man.
He could sell corn, if he would, at
three dollars a bushel. 1t is further
to be noted that the habit of living
out of cans, which has been so fixed
with the people of the South, will this
year bear one remarkable change: the
contents of the cans is homegrown.
All of which goes to show that we
are beginning to come into our free
dom. The chains that have long bound
US are falling away.

army will pass out of existence.
The question is establishing con-
tinuing military policy of universal
service has been debated to some ex-

many members of congress, however,
that it would be uhwise to take up
this question now. If the war is long
