A drive to raise 100000 for
the work of the Y. W. C. A. is the
next thing in order for the war work.
This money is to be used for work
among women during the war. Many
lines OF activity are contemplated
and the work will supplement and
coordinate with the work OF the Y.
NJ. c. A. The drive will begin De-
cember 3rd and close December II.
A meeting was held in Reno last
week at which one OF the secretaries
from New York was present and
plans were laid for the conduct OF
the drive in this state. While 1t
seems that It Is just one thing after
another since the United States en-
tered the war yet all of this work is
absolutely essential to a successful
elimination. and the patriotism OF
the American people will stand the
test.

PEACE WITHOUT
 INDEMNITIES

We hear so much nowadays of peace without indemnities, without annexation" it may be interesting to consider what precisely the phrase means. Obviously it would mean self rehabilitation to the countries that have been overrun by the modern Huns, who, themselves, have in a great measure escaped the ravages of war. It would mean that Germany would start with an enormous econo- mic advantage over her enemies. France, Belgium and other countries that have been crushed under the Ger man heel would have no immediate means of paying their war debts. For many years they would be at the mercy of foreign competition, strug gling under a load of taxation.
 What a great victor a patched-ul peace would be for the power that started the war in the hope of domin ating the world! Surely the kaiser 1T the event of patched-up peace would be justified in pointing with pride tc the success of his great adventure At any rate the Germans would in measure have attained the war pur poses which were outlined in Tame burgs Greater Germany" and Bern hRrdi's Our Future"

allies has been the means of bring
 ing the Hohenzollerns to their senses of making them think. Americas
 entry along the line of trenches in
 Flanders will be the determining fac tor. When Germany realizes that the
 man power of this country finally has
 been made available - that the re- sources of this country have been re- served for the single purpose of bring ing her to terms - she will come to terms quickly. She will sue for peace and her knee will be bent as she
 sues.

GERMANY BEGINNING
 TO WANT PEACE

The press dispatches are filled with reports of the advancement of the peace movement in Germany. Presi- dent Wilson's note to the pope has had much the effect but there is another and to the Germans, better-reason for this desire for peace.
 To those who have been following the progress of events for some months past, it is apparent that the constant pounding of the allies is producing results. Slowly, but sure ly the German armies are being driven back from the soils of France and Belgium. Too often for tranquil ity of mind the German war lords are compelled to admit strategic retreats, shortening of lines. retirements to stronger positions, and the like.
 The war lords are beginning to see the truth and that truth is that the allies have at last made proper preparation and are hammering away with no signs of weakening and with determination to drive the Germans back into their own country
 In the language of the man in the street, the German generals are Took ing for an out" - a means of saving their faces. They were remarkably successful at the outset of the war They made tremendous territorial gains in miraculosly short time. They held these gains with superhuman ten acity But the end is in sight. They see the inevitable result of the world preparation against them. The mar power without is greater than tn, man power within. But one. thing cal happen - and the Germans, astut, students of the war problem, woulC save as much as possible from tn, wreck.
 Through devious channels the ac tivities of America have percolate through to the Prussians. They ar beginning to comprehend that Amer ca means business that the thin they thought utterly impossible ha happened. The man power of thi esaaaIQatry--al9pe ois eqlaal to that { as z 6! rine has not been the success it's pro jectoTs believed it would be. Gel many at last Is truly on the defensive She knows her limitations. She know full we'll that the utterances of Pres dent Wilcon came only after matur consideration, and that his statemen to the pope that he could not dea with the kaiser was not "bluff."
 Therefore Germany wants peace She will make many concessions t get it. The peace note that now i being formulated in Germany-as out lined in the press reports - is but tn beginning. Should this prove unsat isfactory, others will be formulated and each will add to the concession Germany will make.

Wanted Apparatus

All the pupils of the M. H. S., have expressed enthusiasm over the possibility of getting appara- tus for our school ground, and we give b e low a few of their sentiments selected from a num- Der handed in on short notice:
 We want to make school at- tractive. This can be done by having different kinds of amuse- ments for the boys and girls. There is almost nothing to amuse the chileren-a few of old blanks scattered around and not enough sticks for two boys to play stick horse.
 Other S c h o o l S have slides, swings, and many other different kinds of things for amusement Why can't M. H S.?
 It would make school a pleas ure rather than a drag.
 Freida Williams, 9th Grade. Even the muse glides into the appeal of one:
 Poor little children
 No place to play On the school ground
 Fight every day. If they had wheels
 On which to wheel, ltwould simply be a si1
 How quickly theIM s Would forget z M They " M
 trapeze,
 On which to exercise, 50 they wouldn't freeze. With slide or see-saw
 They would be very elated, And you would be happy to see What fun you had created"
 Hazel Roberts, 9th Grade. Gan you not just feel this ap- peal:
 Listen; o our fathers and our friends Give ear unto our Soices, for are we not your great eSC treasure on earth ? Give us your abundance wherewithal we may build that which shall make uS g row up even unto strong manhood and womanhood. Help us to get-our apparatus!"

effect which could only be defined as
dynamic. After men had become
acquainted with them through personal
experience they stopped calling them
number nines' and called them
'whiz-bangs.' There were only two
possibilities of error under Major Gill
days system of simplifed medicine.
One was to take a whiz-bang for
trench feet and the other to use whale
oil externally for some form of diges-
tional hesitancy. And in either case
no permanent harm could result, while
the error was as simple of correction
as the command about face Blighty
was therefore not very popular with
our battalion. blighty being the trench
name for the hospital.
