Since there are a million American
soldiers in the battle at Metz. there
is much interest in the stronghold.
Metz is strongly defended, there be,
ing many forts about the city. A
few military experts predict it will
fall in few days, while others look
for long siege.
When the Germans attacked the
Belgian fortresses Of Namur, Liege,
Naubeuga and Antwerp, they fell in
a few days. It was different, however,
with Verdun. The Germans were not
able to take the city, although lives
were sacrificed for weeks and weeks.
AT Verdun it became open warfare
and it may do the same at Metz, Ger,
many cannot sacrifice the men at

THE HANDWRITING ON THE
Wall

The old and dreadful handwriting
on the wall that appalled, the ancient
Yanks at Archangel, Yanks in France.
An excellent sort of bondage is to
be tied to a liberty bond.
There are Yanks at Vladivostok,
tyrant at his feast, and has been
written again and again through the
ages on every national banquet hall
where tyranny and reveling at the ex-
pense Of freedom, right and truth,
has appeared once more. This time
it flames in letters Of blood on the
Prussian sky with the old and dread
full warming: "You have been weighed
in the balance and found want
ing" A day Of judgment comes for
every nation which hardens its heart
against right and truth and makes to
itelf false gods. The German people
permitted themselves to become dew
il-worshipers, they were joined to
their idols; they would not hear or
understand. So now at last the old
familiar handwriting comes to them
as to other nations before them and
they tremble as they see it. Verify
there is Nemesis which pursues
wicked nations amt which never
gives over the relentless pursuit till
it has pulled them d0wn.-Baltim0re

Senator Borah makes a forecast of
the next presidential campaign that
commands attention, but the Republi-
can leaders will detect strategical
flaws in his outline of the partys po-
sition. "If the war ends prior 70
1920" says the senator Il venture
to phophesy that Mr.. Wilson, if liv-
ing, will be the candidate of the dem
ocratic party. He is the party, II
Col Roosevelt is living. he will be the
candidate of the republican party"
Very well, "Mr. Wilson will be sup
ported on his record of having won
the war and composed the affairs Of
Europe. Mr.. Roosevelt will be sup
ported because Of his pronounced
Americanism, and because, as it will
be asserted, he compelled Wilson TO
win the war" Very original and III
teresting is this forecast, but it has q
weak point. Considered as a cam
paign program, it would open the
way to Wilson's supporters to argue
that, obviously in view Of past sue
cesses, the thing to do would be to
re-elect Wilson and keep the colonel
where he could devote his incompar.
able energies as a private citizen to
compelling Wilson as president to do
the right thing.

THE UNITED STATES"
never peep.


We must buy bonds to the last cent
Of our ability because our country is
fghting for its very life. Make no
mistake, citizens Of America, the crisis
is Just that--we are fighting for our
very life.
We must fight this war through.
We must fight it through to a peace,
the basis OF which will be written by
us and our Allies.
Germany must not write a single
clause in the Treaty. She must be
whipped until she will sign a treaty,
every word of which will be drawn by
the Allies. Germany must not be al
lowed to dot an 'i'' or cross a Ct"
Why?
Because Germany has become moth
ing but robber empire, murderer
empire, an empire every purpose OF
which is the enslavement of the rest
of the world. Such purposes admit Of
no COMPROMISE. We must conquer or
die. If we do not conquer, we shall
nevertheless die-and die slaves.
Germany began with the intention
of robbing France of her iron, her coal,
her best land and her great factories;
of making Belgium, with her rich
mines. great cities and immense fac
tories, a part of Germany; of gaining
the Belgian LAST, from which she
might conquer England, and Of com
bining under her flag the hordes OF
Mohammedan Turks, and all the Bal
kan states, so that she might train
soldiers in countless millions, build
navies to sweep the oceans, and con
quer the world.
This war was to be step toward
world conqu ST.
If we do not fight this war through
to complete victory she will keep on
and she will succeed She will surely
succeed!
Russia with her nearly 200,000,00
people lies PROSTATE at Germany s
feet. Gemrany could now give up the
Balkan states, give up Belgium, force
Austria to yield up the Italian terri
tories, give up conquered France, yes
she could give up these, and even Al
, Lorraine, and if allowed free
! hand in Russia she would still have
won a victory greater than any of
, which she ever dreamed at the begin
ming of the war.
Give her control of Russia, and she
can and will within few years come
back with power to take back Alsace-
