Hun Success Means Our Ruin.

for, the president reiterated he was
willing TO discuss at any time Il fair,

But the answer he said, when
proposed such peace came from the
German commanders in Russia. and l

WILSON ACCEPTS
HUN CHALLENGE
PRESIDENT ADVOCATES WAR TO
FINISH IN ANNIVERSARY
ADDRESS AT BALTIMORE.
But One Response to Germany
Righteous Force Which Shall Mako
Right the Law Of World and Cast
Selfish Dominion in the Dust.

BaltimOre.-Presiden Wilson, at a
great Liberty loan celebration here Sat
urday night, April g. gave Amrica's
answer to the renewed propaganda for
a German-made peace, to all proposals
to end the war before Germany is
wakened from her dream OF world do
minion. The presidents answer was:
Force, force to the utmost, force
without stint or Init, the righteous and
triumphant force which shall make
right the law of the world and cast
every selfish dominion down in the
dust"
A few hours before the president
spoke, he had reviewed a division Of
citizen soldiers, called only a few
months ago from the pursuits Of peace;
now transformed into fighting men to
carry the ideals Of America to the bat
tlefelds of Europe. At the moment
million more OF their kind all over the
land were celebrating the opening Of
the third Liberty loan; and the orders
for mobilizing the first Of the great

out to the country.
Challenge of Huns Accepted.
Those were some of the physical
facts which backed his words, when,
after reviewing briefly the evidence
that Germany seeks a peace for her
world dominion. the president de-
clared:
Il accept the challenge. I know that
you accept it, All the world shah
know you accept it. It shall appear in
the utter sacrifice and self-forgetful-
ness with which we shall give all thai
we love and all that we have to redeem
the world and make it fit for free men
like ourselves to live in. This now is
the meaning Of what we do. Let every
thing that we say. my fellow country
men, everything that we henceforth
plan and accomplish, ring true TO this I!
till the majesty and might Of
our concerted power shall ill the |
thought and utterly defeat the force Of |
those who fiout AID misprize what We
honor and hold dear
Germany has once more said that |
force and force alone shall decide /
justice and peace shall reign |
IN the affairs of men; whether right. as
America cOneeives it. or dominion. as |
she eonceives it. shall determine the |
lestinies of mankind.

sponse possible from us; force. force

The German Debt.

OF course DIR. Solf and other Ger
mans are going over the stiff terms
of the armistice, and are pleading with
President Wilson to secure modifica-
ton. When Germany laid outrageous
burdens on France in 1870, no German
protested, but it is different when his
own country must pay.
Those who have fought the Huns
for four years have thought only of
Justice. When the armistice demands
that 10000 railroad cars and a pro-
portionate number of locomotives be
turned over to the allies, France re-
fleets that it's moderation, since Ger
many denuded French roads of their
rolling stock. The requirement that
all U-boats be surrendered may be
considered as a mere police measure
a removal of temptation to maritime
treachery.
The peace terms call for large
share of German ships, but France
has lost more than 100000 tons from
its mercantile fleet through submarine
warfare, while British losses are still
greater The French territory occu-
pied by Germans for four years and
laid waste in such way that it may
be unprOductive for a long time to
come was the wealthiest part of
France. It's area did not exceed 6 per
cent of the whole country, but it paid
rs per cent of the total taxes. Of

Life's Real Jewels.

(By William Colfax Markham)
She was old and worn and wrinkled
and gray,
And her step was feeble, as she press
ed her way
To the ticket window, a fare to buy
For far away town. She breathed
a sigh;
For the whistle and clang of the COM
ing train,
The hustle and noise confused her
brain.
Out on the farm by the meadow brook,
The whip -poor-will's song in the shady
nook,
The music of showers ON the growing
grain,
And violets dripping glad refrain,
Had softened her heart and opened
her eyes
To the wealth of earth's real para
disc.
Mid the hosting crowd in the eoach's
aisle,
She brushed woman in the latest
style
OF velvet and plush and jewels gay,
On pleasure bent-life's smiling way
Who needed her not, and scorned TO
know,
That souls are not measured by raj
As the train sped on, the woman of
wealth,
Placed jeweled fingers as if by stealth
To her soft, white throat, to protect
a pin
Set with four diamonds, all sparkling
within.
With never a care or thought Of dis
tress,
She dreamed of high halls where
throngs do not press.
Across the car, her face drawn with
care,
Sat the mother Of sons-some Of them
"over there"
She too at her throat held a care-worn
hand
Which covered a pin-four starred
with plain band.
But she visioned a world free from.
turmoil and strife,
Where her jewels might shine in the
City Of Life.

OF Course The Rates Go Up.

The McAdooing Of the express COM
panies, of course has nothing to do
with the winning Of the war, as would
have been pretended if the news of
government acquisition had come be-
fore the defeat Of Germany had been
accomplished. 1t is merely a part Of
the movement to use the emergency
for the purpose of furthering the pro-
paganda of political possession of in
dustry. The announcement of COM
plete government acquisition is accom-
panied by the statement that express
rates will be increased. This has come
to be so usual an accompaniment OF
government operation that the people
would suspect the thing really had
not happened unless they were called
upon to pay higher rates and accept
poorer service. Meanwhile it is stated
that the postal control of telephones
and telegraphs is being employed to
scramble the affairs of the department
with those Of telephones and tele-
graphs so thoroughly that the job of
unscrambling will be made difficult
Private control of cables has not been
thought inconsistent with war neces-
sity during the war, but now that the
war is over, we are advised that the
cables are going to be Burlesoned and
Creeled. The recent election seems
to have taught the power grabbers
They are out to politicalize
everything they can get their hands
on, although compelled to drop the
pretense that their activities have any
thing to do with the war-National

WORK FOR SOLDIERS
State War Council to Organize Labor
Bureaus to Secure Work for
Returning Soldiers.

Denver, Colo, Dec. 3.-(Special)-
Important information is today receiv-
ed by the State Council Of Defense,
from Washington, concerning employ
ment and care for the returning Colo
rado soldiers. Following is a tele-
gram from Nathan A. Smythe, as
sistant director of the United States
employment service, given out to all
federal state directors:
"Our plan of operation in connec-
tion with placing representatives of
the labor department in every camp
under order of the adjutant general,
dated November %, provides for es-
tablishment by this service of bureau
for returning soldiers in every city
and large town
SOLDIERS being discharged at camp
and sent home will mostly seek en-
nloyment at home rather than from
camps. The task of finding them oc-
cupations thus becomes a community
responsibility. The function of the
Employment Service is to concentrate
eooperatiye local efforts and all in
formation as to positions at central
points, to furnish means of communi-
cation as to labor supply and needs
between communities, and to inform
soldiers in camps where and how to
