il is our business to see to it that the
history of the rest of the world is no

Would Mean Renewal.
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 recuperation Of
its strength and a renewal of it's pol
icy; would make it necessary to Gre
ate permanent hostile combination
of nations against the German people,
who are its instruments; and would
result In abandoning the newborn
Russia to the intrigue, the manifold
subtle interference, and the certain
counter revolution which would be at
tempted by all the malign influences
to which the German government has
Of late accustomed the world. Can
peace be based upon a restitution of
Its power or upon any word of honor
it could pledge in a treaty of settle
ment and accommodation?
Irresponsible statesmen must now
everywhere see, if they never saw be-
fore. that no peace can rest securely
upol pOllllCdl OF economic ToSCrlC-
lions meant to benefit some nations
and cripple or embarrass others, upon
vindictive action Of any sort, or any
kind of revenge or deliberate injury
The American people have suffered in
tolerable 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,
not the rights of governments-the
rights of peoples great or small, weak
or powerful-their EQUAL right to
freedom and security and self-govern-
ment and to participation upon fair
terms in the economic opportunities of
the world-the German people of
course included, if they will accept
equality and not seek domination.
Test Of Peace Plan.
THE test therefore of every plan of
peace is this: Is it based upon the
faith of all the peoples involved or
merely upon the word of an ambitious
and intriguing government on the one
hand, and Of a groop of free peoples,
on the other? This is test which

IN MEMORIUM
Jady Rayfeld

At all times and under all circum-
stances death is sad, but when it
comes like thunderbolt from clear
sky and preys upon the young man
who is just launching into great
and useful life it is doubly sad.
On the morning Of April 18th, just
as the beautiful day was dawning up
on world that had been enshrouded
in the blackness of night and every
thing looking to the bright future,
the gentle and loving spirit of Jady
Rayfield took its fight into the world
beyond.
Jady was an industrious young
farmer and a young man of noble
character. Those who have had bust
ness transactions with him say he was
as honest as the sun.
! We sometimes wonder why such
noble young men are called to lay
down their precious lives, but we re-
member it has been said death loves
a shining mark"
And again we would. remember
that the Good Lord does all things for
the honor and glory Of mankind.
Jady leaves widow and three
small children and large host OF
relatives and friensd to mourn his un.
timely death.
