German Liberals and Reasonable Men
 l have already expressed a belief that Germany will not be forced to make peace because of revolution and that sufficient food will De some how found to carry on the population during at least another year of war.
 What then offers q prospect of req sonable peace-supposing, of course, that the Germans fail in the subma- crumblig up of Russia does not re- lease from the east frontier enough to break the lines Of the British and French in France?
 if Germany Turns Toward Liberalism
 I think that it is only by an evolu- ton of Germany herself toward liber- alism that the world will be given such guarantees of future peace as will justify the termination of this war
 There is. properly speaking, no great liberal party in the political arena in Germany As l have said, the reichs- tag is divided roughly into conserv- atives, Roman Catholics or centrum and social democrats. The so-called national liberal party has in this war shown itself 9 branch of the conserv- ative party, and on some issues as bitter, as conservative as the Junkers themselves Herr Passermann and Herr Stressmann have not shown themselves leaders of liberal thought nor has their leadership been such as to inspire confidence in their political cagacity.
 It was Stressmann who on May 30 1916, said in the reichstag, referring to President Wilson as a. peacemaker ''We thrust the hand of Wilson aside ? On the day following the day on which the president announced to congress the breaking of diploma tic relations news of that break had not yet arrived in Berlin; Herr Strese- mann on that peaceful Sunday morn- ing was engaged in making a speech

to the members of the national liberal party in which he told them that as a result of his careful study of the Amel jean situation, of his careful re- searches into American character ana politics, he could assure them that America would never breaH With Ger many. As he concluded his speech and sat down, amid the applause of his admirers, q German who h1d been sitting in the back of the room rose and read from the noon paper, the "B. c." a dispatch from Holland giv- ing the news that America had broken relations with Germany The political skill and foresight of Herr Stresemann may be judged from the above in cident
 Status of Socialists
 The socialists, or social democrats, more properly speaking, have shown themselves in opposition to the mo- narchial form of government in Ger many. This has put them politically, mil-tarily and socially beyond the pale.
 After a successful French attack in the Champagne I heard it said of a German woman. whose husband was thought to be killed, that her rage and despair had been SO great that she had said she would become a social democrat, and her expression was re- peated as showing to what lengths grief has driven her This girl was the wife of an ordinary clerk working in BeFlin
 The social democrats are not given offices, are not given titles; they never join the class of Fats" and they cannot hope to become officers of the army. Did not Lieutenant Forstner, the notorious center of the Zabern affair, promise a reward to the first one of his men who in case of trouble should shoot one "of those damned social democrats?"
 A Liberal Party Yet to Be Created There is, therefore, no refuge at present politically for the seasonable men of liberal inclinations, and it is these liberal men who must them- selves create a liberal party, a party membership in which will not entail a loss of business, a loss of prospects of promotion and social degradation There are many such men in Ger many today. Perhaps some of the conservative socialists will join sucf

position of the world in arms with reference to Germany is simply this. It is impossible to make peace with Germany as at present constituted be- cause that peace will be but a truce. a short breathing space before the German military autocrats again .send the sons to Germany to death in the trenches for the advancement of the system and the personal glory and ad- vantage of stuffy old generals ard prancing princes
Arizona republican., 1917-09-16

The world does not believe that a free Germany will needlessly make war, believe in war for wars sake. or take up the. profession of arms as a national industry.
 The choice lies with the German people. And how admirably has our president shown that people that we war not with them but with the autoc- racy which has led them into the shambles of dishonor.

CLEAN The
GRAIN FIELDS

Mr.. w. w. Armstrong, food admin
istrator for Utah, has pointed out the
Importance of the children cleaning
the grain fields.
It looks as IL wheat will be $2.00 a
bushel or more. At such a price,
cleaning ought to be profitable. This
is a job the boys and girls can do
and make good wages, at the same
time reLder a great service to their
country.
Many fields Of grain are badly
Lodged. Clean harvesting with ma
chinery is impossible. In order that
this valuable crop be saved, the hand
method OF gathering will have to be
resorted to as our parents did years
ago.
Remember the boys and girls who
can gather enough heads Of wheat to
make bushel in one day is making
a good wage and possibly be the
means Of saving a human life in the
war stricken district of Europe.
Let us think this matter over and
cooperate in the greatest possible
conservation OF food materials.

Sergeant Walter G. Grey's Escapade Proves Surprise to Friends He
 Had Made in Anniston

Anniston, December 11.-(SpeciaL] Col. Albert A. Van Walraven, Who has been in command of the Hath infantry since the reorganization of the differ ent national guard units into the new national army, has been relieved o1 the command of this regiment on ac- count of physical disability, and is sue ceeded by Col. Thomas D. Landon, for merly of the Third New Jersey infantry national guard.
 Colonel Landon assumed command ol the regiment Tuesday morning and one of his first official acts was to deslg- nate Capt. William M. Mead of Pater- son, N J.. as adjutant to succeed him self. Captain Mead served as the ad- jutant of the Hath infantry while it was under the command of Colonel Van Walraven.
 It is understood that a special board will be convened at very early date to pass further upon Colonel Van Wal ravens disability, and he will retire from the service after 26 years of un- interrupted service for the state of New Jersey and in the service of ths United States. It is very likely that there will be a general shifting of officers in the Hath as a result of the retirement of Colonel Van Walraven, although no official announcement is made to this effect.

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SNOW = BABY WAS
 MORE THAN PLEASED

"Oh, daddy look at it outside it's all white and oh, it's so buteful," said a baby voice in expressing her amaze- ment over the snow covered earth that greeted her gaze yesterday morning, this being the first snow her 21a year old eyes had even seen.
 "Ain't it pretty, daddy, and how did you make it so pretty and white and what makes it-let's walk in it. daddy" she continued to prattle. all excited and bewildered over the scene that confronted her on every house : top, every sidewalk and in every street. Even the back yard and the garden spot, the grass and the trees, they were all covered and she could not understand it all.
 And many the little tot that went through that experience yesterday morning. But, how about the growu- ups. the daddies that had to wade through that slop and slush along about night after rains had been fail- ing in pestiferous drizzle all day?
 But it was genuine snow and it started to fall about o'clock yester- day morning, just enough for you to reel 1t hit you in the face-and it was cold. The ground showed no signs or whitening, but later it fell With avowed intention of blanketine the earth with its white beauty-and 1t did.

UNCLE SAM WILL
 RESPECT SWISS

Washington, December T1.-Secre- tary Lansing today made public the text of the American memorandum to Switzerland in which the promise to respect her neutrality was made. It was sent to Switzerland several days ago and comment in European papers indicates that 1t has proved satisfac- tory to the Swiss people. The mem = orandum follows:
 "In view of the presence of Amer ican forces in Europe engaged in the prosecution of the war against the im- perial German government, the gov- ernment of the United States deems is appropriate to announce for the as- surance of the Swiss confederation, and in harmony with the attitude of the -belligerents of the United States in Europe. that the United States will not fail to observe the principe of neutrality applicable to Switzerland and the inviolability of territory so long as the neutrality of Switzerland IS maintained by the confederation and respected by the enemy"

|ALABAM|ANS ARE
 AGAINST SUFFRAGE
Delegation Will Split, How. ever, on the National Pro-

Washington, December 11-(Spe-
 cial)-The present Indications are that the equal suffrage amendment will receive no vote from members of the Alabama delegation.
 Senators Bankhead and Underwood are opposed to the amendment and it is understood that the House delega- tion is solidly arranged against it.
 The prohibition amendment, it is indicated, will cause a split in the House delegation. Representatives Dent, Blackmon, Gray, Heflin and Huddleston are numbered among its opponents. Both of these amendments will be submitted before adjournment for the holidays.
 The Alabama delegation tomorrow morning in the office of Senator Bank head will be addressed in the interest of the equal suffrage amendment by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the national militant organiza . tion, Mrs. So1on Jacobs of BirminS ham and Mrs Julian Parke of Selma. The delegation is apparently pleased that the national president will give 1t her attention.

having deserted from his command at Camp Mcclellan, going to Atlanta and taking a fling into high society, mar rying a pretty Atlanta girl, etc, IS well known in this city, and his escapade is surprising, in view of the fact that he is a very intelligent and well drilled military man.
 Sergeant Grey is a member of Com pany A, 18th infantry, and for several weeks he was assigned to military duty with the military police at the city hall here.
 He was one of the most active of the military police officers, and during his stay in the city he made many warm friends, all of whom are surprised at the turn his military career has taken.
 He Is known to have provided himself with the uniform and designations of an officer before leaving Anniston. He appeared on the streets of the city sev- eral times in the uniform of a commits stoned officer, and was more than once congratulated upon the fact that he had won a commission as result of com. petitive examination

Just where he got the Yep and how he managed to spirit 1t into California unbeknown to the au- thorities only he and a few of his close associates are aware, but. nevertheless, he shows a real, honest to goodness Zep In this production. Not the least enter- taining feature of the picture is the brief portrayal of the inner secrets of the ,na- chin. It affords scientific treat
 All the secrets which have been jeal- ously guarded by the Teutons are dis closed in ''The Zeppelin's Last Raid" We see how the death dealing bombs are re- leased, how the machinery that propels the dirigibles is controlled. We see how the crew operates, how signals are given to the land forces below, and surrounding all IS that marvellous military efficiency that has characterized Germany's or- ganization of warfare.
 By far the most thrilling scene ever converted to the screen depicts the de- struction of the Zep in mid-air by the commander, who is a member of secret organization striving for universal peace He refuses to bomb the defenseless cita- del thousands of feet below, and when his frenzied crew insist upon carrying out the orders of the Kaiser, the com mander throws in switch that dyna- mites the giant craft. Then come in swift succession a flash of lurid red Il deafening chorus from the throats of doomed men and the mighty .'vulture of the skies plunges to earth a mass of flaming debris.

Zep Spectacle Stirs Nation
 As Doughboys Enter Trench
Whole Towns and Villages Destroyed by zeppens in Acazar Film Which Unfolds Story of Gripping Tensity in Which Exact Counterpart of German Air
 Defense Is Exhibited

The Zeppelin Last Raid,'' now being shown at the Alacazar, unfolds a story of gripping tensity, in which Zeppelin, the exact counterpart of the big air craft now being used by Germany to terrorze the allies, is the central figure. It marks the first time Zep has figured in film narrative, and particular interest centers in the subject because of the recent re- sumption by Germany of Zeppelin war fare
 At the outset of the war Zeps were used with grave effect upon the allies, both in England and on the continent, but the latter made their anti-aircraft forces so formidable that future raids were curbed Then the Germans put most of their big dirigibles out of commission, except a few they sent over to the east front to be used for observation purposes. The recent raids by Zeps, however, upon Eng fish and French towns show that the Teutons have put the dirigibles back into action and therefore public interest is riveted upon Zeppelins and the raids that occur almost nightly along the west ern front.
 For the first time on record the inner workings of these mammoth birds of prey are revealed to public view by 'The Zeppelin's Last Raid It became neces- sary for the producer to procure Yep when he began the production of this great spectacle and after striving many
