Iron and Steel ReUielU

Cleveland. O.. April 1.-(special) )-The Iron Trade Review yesterday said:
 War demands are throwing back every other consideration in iron and steel, as the governments unparalleled pro- gramme of preparation advances into the production stage. The tonnage required is exceeding all previous estimates. The time seems not so far ahead when the in- dustry virtually will have been convert ed into a vast war machine Nothing so clearly illustrates the superlative scale to which the steel industry is being committed to war as tremendous pur- chases of shell steel now being made by the government Total requirements which the United States and it's allies are calling upon producers to supply in the current year are in excess of 4,OO0,- GOO tons of AZ to 91s inch rounds. Of this amount 100000 tons for this gov ernment is undergoing allocation. Total of 100000 tons represents probably sone- sixth of the entire expected rolled out of the country from this date to January |,

THE WHINING HUN.

DECAUSE America and her allies refuse to negotiate
peace with criminal nations, but insist on debating
peace on their own lust terms, the German chancellor whines
OF a war fury in America. He ~misjudgeS a people who are
proceeding with calm determination to finish an un-
pleasant business in the only right way. His whines are
wasted effort, so far as the entente nations are con-
cerned, but they may have a heartening effect on the Ger
man people. Gone now are the boastiul threats of world
conquests, and Won Hertling bends every effort to show that
this, on the part of the central powers, is a defensive
war. He even goes to the length OF putting the invasion
OF Belgium in that class.
That brutal assault on Belgium, a peaceful nation pro-
tected by treaty, is one reason why it is well the war
should not end by any negotiated peace. With all its
murder, destruction, rape and unspeakable atrocities, it
represents a great crime for which Germany must be
punished. And that was but one OF a series OF crimes
which have marked the German conduct Of the war from
the start. Civilized peoples will not forget the massacre
OF the Armcnians, planned and approved by The German
leaders, The sinking Of the Lusitania with its slaughter
OF innocent and defenseless civilians, the bombing OF hos
pitfalls, the eruciiixion and torture Of prisoners. All these
things and more the Hun must answer for, and in the
allied nations is a will to see that this conflict shall not
cease until the possibility Of a repetition Of these horrors
is removed.
Defending the Belgian invasion, deploring the recog-
niton Of the down trodden Clecho- Slavs and approving
Teuton war methods shows Germany is still an unre-
pentant nation, and there must be repentance and atone
ment before there can be peace for Germany. The chan
eellor says that Germany will not grovel, but the whining
note Of his speech indicates that the grovelling has al
ready begun in high places. In the main, it is a groveling
before the home people, to prove how righteous and noble
10 the all highest in his conduct Of war, In part, ii i, an
< fort to influence opinion in neutral nations by showing
Ahat German motives are not as sinister as represented
But, before this is over, Germany will grovel before the
allies, willing to accept the terms they dictate. Either
that or destruction is the fate Of Germany. And those
terms, while just, should not be gentle. Germany must
pay, and so must her barbarous allies.
With the Turkish armies broken and routed, the Bull
garians in retreat and Austria striving for a peace con-
ference, and with America lut beginning to fight. there

From the time Of his arrest, there never seemed a
doubt OF the conviction of William Madison Hicks. He
was so palpably a foe of this country that there was no
shadow Of doubt about his guilt. And this is a rough
season for enemies of the United States, whether they
fight as Huns in the trenches, or as ~wild-eyed orators IN
our own land. Perhaps a man is a fool to talk as Hicks
did, but he is a dangerous fool, and belongs in prison
both as a safety and punitive measure. With Haywood
already serving time, along with a hundred OF his lieu
tenants, and with Debs under sentence, we are making
progress in cleaning up the breed. Few orators will
raise their voices against this next Liberty loan, and draft
resisters are becoming rare. The Huns within our gates
are being eorraled, and it is gratifying to note that one
who dared voice sediticn in this loyal state is facing his
Just deserts.

And say how soft II In TO pay

But &C. regret on second thought
He over pennsd his household name
In promise TO remit for sams,
And often hf has made a vow
That he Is through, and that from nov
On agents better shun his gate,
or on them he will demonstrate.
And made him groan and grumbla 80,

To help the soldiers out In France,
And he will go IN debt with glee
For bonds whose name In liberty,
And meet his payments one by ono
To put the kibosh on the Hun.
And when the final payments made, 4.

President Wilson is going to open the liberty loan
campaign in New York, and this is going to be a fine
opportunity for those who are so eager to back the presi-
dent, Liberty bonds are going to be for sale from
fifty dollars on up, and every bond worth what it costs.
Those who fail to subscribe for their share, are slackers.
Subscribing for one bond and getting a button won't make
a patriot of the man who is able to buy two or more. Go

Agricultural exhibits at the fair are convincing en-

the state. And the agricultural reports Of the state further
substantiate this belief. As a matter Of fact, the drouth,
so severe in the southwest, has been allowed to over.
shadow the excellent yields Of many crops in other sec
