A Wolf in Sleeps Clothing.

Prince Maximilian's mouth. And the
answer must be Yes or No. The
points laid down by the president
are to be discussed. If Germany
does not want to accept them, let
her shut her mouth and fight on.
We have just begun to fight. Now
is no time to even thing of talking
peace. Let General Foch alone. He
will cause his cannon to discuss
that. Now is the time to strike the
hardest blows. The old Hun has
seen the hand and has been read
ing the writing on the wall. And
that is why he is squealing for an
armistice.
The Germans only want to get a
little time to begin to burrow in the
ground for hiding place, and to
get ahead of Foch's land slide. But
the sword will never stop rafting
at their backs until they get on the
other side of the Rhine and raise
the white blanket.
Il say, let the sword dictate the
terms on. the battlefield, until the
allies have won a decisive victory
over the German army on the field,
until we have achieved Waterloo
or a Sedan, the Germans will not
be conquered.
Rush them on, General Foch,
across the Rhine, to the imperial
Palace at Potsdam. Retaliate, city
for city, town for town, and house
for house.
The American soldiers got to
France in time, with a spirit and
rush that have brought results. 1t
has been said that Paris had not
laughed for, three years, but when
she heard that America was coming
she was all ablaze.
It is the clean hands and brave
souls of the allies that has brought
the barbarian to his knees. And l
say, keep him down until he prays.
Now it is up to Prince Maximil-
ian to tell President Wilson just
who he is roasting chestnuts for. He
must make some decision quickly,
even if it makes his kree-bones
rattle.
made this statement over a
year ago, that ditch fighting was
contrary to American warfare. 1t
was tried at Petersburg, Va, for ov-
er year during the Civil War. l
said that when the American army
got on the firing line and raised the
i'Rebel Yell" they would get the
Huns out of their holes into the op-
en- and they would run them ragged!
Another thing they have done: They
have been doing some fianking for
the first time during the war.
Now these are facts. War means
fighting and fighting means killing,
and the best way and the only eff
ective way is to fight in the open.
Do like Gen. Polk said to his men
in the Civil War, "Aim low, men,
and shoot straight, Kill their bodies
and God have mercy on their souls.
The general was an Episcopal
bishop and Gen. Cheatham was any
thing else. These two generals were
passing up the line at the battle OF
Chickamauga. Just as my command
was about ready to plunge into the
vortex, General Cheatham called
out at the top of his voice and said,
"Give 'em hell today, boys, give
'em hell" General Polk lost himself
in the soldier and cried out, "That's
it. give 'em what General Cheatham
says" That is just what our boys
are giving the Germans and that IS
Just what they need.
God knows that I am anxious Tor
the effusion of blood to stop, but L
do hope that France and Belgium
can have the chance of invading
German soil and making the Huns
taste their medicine. do wish it
were so that I could be with them
20 help give the Huns what Gener-
al Cheatham said.
Let the cannon and rifles of the
British and French and the Amerl-
cans little double-barrel shot guns
which have so frightened the Ger
mans, discuss the terms of peace
Let those terms be written with the
sword in the open battlefield. The
only way to stop war is to Kill
and cripple the enemy and catch
those that can't be killed, and pen
them. Yes, let this be the slogan OF
the allies:
