On several of the most important
sectors in France-from the region
of Valenciennes to the east of lie

cinity Of Grand Pre-battles of a
sanguinary character are being
fought. In these the British, French
and American troops everywhere
are making progress against the
stubbornly resisting Germans. In
Belgium the allied forces owing to
the rapid retreat Of the enemy and
the flooded condition of the lowlands
have not yet been able to come into
full fighting contact with the Ger
mans but doubtless a few days more
will see them again hard after their
quarry and driving him further to-
ward his own frontier.
South of Valenciennes the British
third and fourth armies, with which
Americans are cooperating. have
continued successfully to press on

time is an offer to accept such terms
as the al,:es, without our aid, have
imposed IN Bulgaria. We ought to
declare war on Turkey without an
hours delay. The failure to do so
hitherto has caused the talk about
making the world safe for democracy
to look imp! asantly like mere insin-
cere rhetoric. While the Turk. is left
in Europe and permitted to tyrannize
over the subject people the world is
thoroughly unsafe for democracy.
Moreover we should find out
what the president means by con-
tinually referring to this country
merely as the associate instead of the
ally of the nations to whose troops
our own troops are actually being
added in battle. If he means that
we are something less than an ally
of France, England, Italy. Belgium
and Serbia, than he means that we
are something less than an enemy
of Germany and Austria. We ought
to make it clear to the world that We
are neither an untrustworthy friend
nor an irresolute foe. Let us clearly
show that we do not desire to pose
as the umpire between our faithful
and loyal friends and our treacherous
and brutal enemies but that we are
the staunch ally of our friends and
the staunch foe of our enemies.
When the German people repud-
late the Hohenzollerns, then. and not
until then, it will be time to dis
criminate between them and their
masters I hope the Senate and
House will pass some resolution de-
manding the unconditional surrender
of Germany as our war aim and stat
ing that our peace terms have never
yet been formulated or accepted by
our people and that they will be full
ly discussed with our allies and made
fully satisfactory to our own people
before they are discussed with Ger
many"

ARE LITTLE PIGS OFF FEED7
Look Out for Germ Disease Affecting

ls Contagious. .....

by DR. r. b. HADLEY. College Of Az

Watch out for sore mouth disease in
little pigs this year. A germ disease
which affects the soft tissues Of the
mouth, causing ulcers with dark red
borders. is common in many brood
pens. Unless treated. right and with
out delay the disease may cause death.
Swab the ulcers with solution Of
potassium permanganate made by dis.
solving one ounce Of crystals in two
quarts Of freshly boiled warm water
Then wash out the mouth with this
disinfectant fluid. Treat bad cases
twice daily, others once day.
Sore mouth Is contagious. To pre-.
vent its spread dip the heads of the
pigs In the same solution. Clean up
the pens and disinfect them with some
good commercial disinfectant. Do not
put fresh litters in pen once used
for infected pigs unless it has been
