A/E welcome you, New Year. That
w you will make of us extraordi-
nary demands in many ways, it
is only reasonable to expect. So it is
our resolve that we will meet these
demands cheerfully, optimistically,
periodically, loyally-that as individ-
uals, as business men, as Americans,
we will do what we ought to do, and,
without faults of omission or faults
of commission, measure up fully to
the obligations of democracy and
freedom.
We thank the public for the patron
age given us in 1917. We shall con-
tinue to the best Of our ability to de-
serve your patronage by conscientious
attention to merchandise, values and
service, seeking to make Howe's an
even more advantageous store to
deal with than in the year just
closed.

BELGIUM A NATION OF PATRIOTS
(Medford Mail Tribune)


Yesterday the dispatches carried the
following Amsterdam dispatcn:
The German authorities at Liege,
Belgium, arrested, tried and sentenced
to death within three days an influen-
tlal Liege merchant named Croneret,
his wife and their two daughters, aged
"a and IA years, on the improved
charge of espionage. The father and
mother were both shot TO death in the
presence of their daughters. The latter
were offered their freedom if they re-
vealed the names of their parents ac-
complices. The girls refused, the eldest
stating, eff we speak, we might cause
fifty people to be killed. We would
rather die alone.' She was immediate
ly shot The youngest girl then was
tortured, outraged and also shot -
Such actions are part of the German
program of frightfulness in the effort
to crush the Belgian spirit, after hav-
ing conquered the country. Over 5000
Belgians, men, women and children,
were ruthlessly murdered during the
first two months of occupation Since
then upwards of 100000 were execut-
ed in one year, according to a German
paper, as penalty for patriotism, ana
half the population has been kept on
the verge of starvation.
Germany has looted Belgium of ev-
worth while. She has stolen
her adt treasurers, pilfered her factor
les, robbed her mines. She has syste-
requisitioned the harvests,
the cattle, the raw materials, the min |
erals and the machinery. She has abb |
sorbed all agricultural products, par
alyzed the commerce, utterly destroy I
ed national industries. She has levied /
fabulous sums-in one year $I00.0 .000,- 4
300, from the ruined victims. She has
leported a quarter million men into
slavery. She has kidnapped and outrag-
I'd innumerable women. She has pois-
med all sources of news, suppressed all
newspapers and only permitted the pub
ieation of those depicting German vic
ories and allied failure
Still the Belgian spirit is not brok-

PEACE MAY COME THROUGH AUSTRIA

The war will have to end sometime but how one
can safely prophecy 1t appears though that it will prob
ably come through break between Germany and Aus
tra. The latter country is composed of many races,
among them large element of Slavs, and Czechs, who
since the revolution in Russia have become restless and
find their sympathes turning to their race as well as to
the new found freedom of their old people. There
indications of uneasness throughout Austria, and
rapidly growing desire for peace Austria points out
that it is her territory not that of Germany that will be
over-run and that she will be the to suffer once Rus
sia is reorganzed 1t is this that is making her look for
peace with Russia She cannot make such peace without
also making peace with the balance Of the allies, who
would no doubt make concesst to her. in order to-
get her to abandon the kaiser While all things in this
connection purely speculative there is reason to be-
eve when peace it will be either directly in
directly through Austria Reading between the lines i'll
be that while government is not in the posi-
tion Of expecting it, it has hopes in that direction
