Z REGARDED q, "War" Speech,

u ~
|@ Paris. Feb. 27.-The concensus Of
gopinion in official and diplomatic
circles concerning Count Won Hertling's
speech Is that it is war speech" not
Z peace speech" ep
A high official informs the Asso-
ciated Press that the aim Of Won
/ Hertling was three fold. First, he de-
sired to create a division between the
allies. Second, he wanted to stimulate
peace talk in allied and neutral coun-
4, tries in an effort to bring about an
other "Brest-Litovsk." Third, the
maneuver was intended to create a
feeling in Germany and abroad that
the militarists do not rule in Germany.
He also wished to minimize the
1 opinion at home and abroad that the
military party ruled Germany, and
that Germany now was willing to
!. meet the allies in the diplomatic field.
The official concluded:
1T seems to be g. treacherous move
on the part of Won Hertling to seizure a
respite in the west and give the mill
tary leaders time to consolidate the
success in Russia"
Belgium to Make No Reply.
A Belgian diplomatic official told the
Associated Press that Belgium prob
ably would not respond to Won Hert-
\ lling's brutal and undiplomatic request
He said it was Belgium's intention to
remain staunch to It's allied friends
i and protectors.
The French press generally considers
won Hertling's speech as a continuance
sof German efforts to create differences
i between the allies.

THE FUNNY CHRISTMAS GIFT.

The Red Cross worker stood behind
the pine counter in the postoffiee lob
by putting the final seal of inspection
and approval on fat Christmas carton
for a boy overseas.
A hundred such parcels had passed
through her hands that day, and as she
listened to the stories Of the women
twho brought the precious boxes to her,
while she inspected and re-packed the
simple gifts, the Red Cross worker
knew that her work was more than
the fu1fillment Of government regu'
lation--it was a sacrament of human
love and service.
But the day had been long, and the
constant pull on her sympathies and
tugs at her emotions had been exhaust
ing. She longed for her own quiet fire

lessons OF the day She almost hoped
there would be no more parcels

DEALINGWiTH STACKER BANKS

Festus j. Wade's statement that
there are 800 banks in Missouri that
are, not handling Thrift Stamps or
War Savings Certificates because they
are too stingy to give up b cent of
profit on any sort Of transaction is
surprising, but he is in situation to
know the truth Of what he says.
The banks of the state operate un.
der special laws which give them Ger.
tain advantages. AS public institu.
tons they ought to be public spirited,
and the men who own them ought to
see that their profits are bound up
with the prosperity and safety of the
country.
Evidently this thrifty 800 lack the
capacity for taking large views of
their business, to say nothing of a
capacity for patriotic self-sacrifce.
The way to deal with such men is not
to argue with them. The dollar blinds
their eyes and seals their minds, but.
rightly used, the dollar can be made
to instruct them.
The method is simple. II these men
have not patriotism. enough to put
their country ahead of their profits.
