Conducting Deliberate Campaign.
London, Sept Germany is ap-
parently conducting deliberate
aerial offensive against allied hos
pitals. The most indignation has been
aroused thruout England by reports
of the past week showing half dozen
instances in which hospitals, plainly
marked, have been singled out for at
tack. England's reprisals will be in
aerial attacks against Germany's mill
tary work.

of German frightfulness was reported

front. German aviators dropped
bombs every twenty minutes during
several hours of daylight on hospital
at Vandelaincourt. Nineteen persons
were killed and twenty-six wounded.

People Imagine Treaty Is All
That Is Necessary.
Then Live in Daily Terror
Awaiting Next Conflict.
TREATY PROTECTED BELGIUM!
But Proved No Barrier Against
German Aggression.
III All War Is To Cease, Mill
tarism Must Be Crushed.

London, Sept. 7.-Coincidental with
the announcement that Premier Lloyd
George will deliver an important
speech on the war aims of the allies
at Berkenhead today, prominence is
given by the newspaper to a state
ment by Sir Edward Carson to n cor
respondent in which Sir Edward de-
clares:
There is a great deal of very loose
and mlschievous talk about peace.
Some people seem to imagine We have
only to conclude treaty with Ger
many and all will be well fsut I
should like to ask what is 20 happen.
Are the nations of the world to pro-
ceed with preparations for the next
conflict-to pursue their researches
in science to the expansion md crea-
tion of still more deadly weapons of
warfare-to spend their resources in
the creation of enormous cohorts of
airplanes, and submarines for the
destruction of unfortified towns and
the murder of innocent women and
children who inhabit them, to take
advantage of the experiences gained
in this war in the perfectiny of lettal
and poisonous gases for the destruc-
ton Of humanity?
International Law Disregardcd
Are we to live in daily terror that
at any moment another conflict may
arise which might almost lead 10 the
extinction of civilization itself?
THE truth is a treaty of peace
does not necessarily secure peace in
the only sense wherein it can be of
any real use to progress and humani-
ty. We talk platitudes about a league
of nations to enforce peace without
considering conditions essential to its
success. But there was a league of
nations to protect Belgium-there
were solemn treaties and conventions
of the, Hague to apply the principles
of humanity as far as possible in war
and give effect to international law.
How did these avail on the outbreak k
of the war?
"I have not yet seen a single sug-
gestion made as to how in the future
these calamitieS are to be prevented
from recurring if the law1ess temper
of the Germans remains unrepentant
and their power to repeat their crimes
remains what it has been in the past
President Wilson is right when he
declares no terms signed by the pres
ent rulers of Germany would afford
the slightest security for the peace of
the world and nothing is more certain
than that just in proportion as the
military defeat of Germany is incom-
,plete the duration of peace will be
short. Whatever terms Germany
might now bring herself to accent in
order to recuperate her strength for
another aggression her people would
soon forget such privations as they
have had to endure and would remain
convinced they proved themselves in
vincible.'
Sir Edward asserted that if this
war is to put an end to all war. Ger
man militarism must be sufficiently
crushed to make fresh aggression by
her impossible for a long time to
come. 4.

CAN'T FIX MEAT PRICE
InadvisabIe, Hoover Tells Live Stock
Raisers; Conference Ends.

Washington, Sept. THE closing
sessions of the national conference of
live stock 'raisers, called by Secretary
Houston and Herbert Hoover, were de-
voted to a discussion today of the
effect that government purchasing on
behalf of the allies may have in
stabilizing meat and dairy product
prices. Herbert Hoover had told the
delegates that price fixing for meat
and dairy products was beyond the
authority of the food administration
and inadvisable in view of the failure
of the plan in Europe.
