That the Germans have quit devastating the areas which they retreatng, and that there has been a subsistence of submarine activities cannot be taken as evidence of a really contre spirit Presi dent Wilson in of his later made reference to these outrages and from the presidents remarks the Germans have evidently believed that by ton of these practices they paving the way to armistee. But whatever may have been said by the president on that subject had nothing to do with either the fourteen points of his message of last January or the subsequent four points of his later address.
 It is understood that the world is proposing to properly punish Germany. If so, it has plenty of causes for the severest punshment-its crimes of four years, horrible total which abstention from crime at this late date would not wipe out.
 If Germany were to be given consideration for not destroying the towns which it abandOns for not sinking merchant ships, We should also give credit the red handed cold -blooded murderer committing murder while fleeing from pursuing officers.
 There should be softness in dealing with Ger many. Consideration will not be withheld because of anything Germany has done-that is in the way of punishment of Germany but because of the peril to civilization Germany has been shown to be- These crimes are not diseases they are only symptoms.

and children will have heritage akin to shame That is entirely too inclusive. It presupposes that every without q military career was stacker.
 That will not be so There thousands and hundreds of thousands of Americans who have per formed greater service for their country at home than they could have possibly performed in the field Some of them it may be- have preferred home ser vice while others would much have preferred the circumstance of war; the excitement and glory of battle.
 The Country Gentleman in a recent article takes lp this matter and illustrates it. It supposes that there is an aged and helpless man. the owner of an cighty-acre farm which has been operated by his son. a young man of military The latter either by draft enlistment, goes to war Because ms father cannot cultivate the farm himself and cannot help the farm is idle and the nation and the allies miss the wheat which it might have produced
 There is no service the son could possibly perform in France that would equal that which his peculiar situation at home would have enabled him to per form. The wheat that might have been produced on that would have been worth more to the allies than the destruction of many machine gun nests, many more enemy airplanes than any allied ace has shot down, or a whole Hun regiment.
 It would have been better, thinks the Country Gentleman to have given that boy military stand ing in home service by assigning him to duty that farm duty for which he peculiarly fitted. Such a standing would have been little definite than could have fixed by deferred classification or exemption" which is commonly, though sometimes enormously, understood to be exemption or immun- ity from the perils of military service.
 It is true that latterly the government has aimed at some such thing, but the aim has not been fully carried out particularly with respect to the farm As matter of fact the who have stayed at home and spccded up production the farm or in the shop should have a high place in the honorable Twin the war roll of the nation.

pemoeraeles and Autocracies

Too great weight should not be given the reports from Austria and Germany of the intended dcmocra' tzation of those governmehts rThis outcome if true should not at this time furnish special cause for o'aiion Nor should it lead us to believe that our task has been made easier.
 lt would be quite different matter if Germany and Austria should become democracies as results of uprisnes tia those empires expressions of dissat- sflction with the existing order We would be hap niy concerned if We knew that the people had over thrown their rulers because they earnestly desired peace.
 Bat know that the proposed democracies Would not be the expression of tho people but the Eiit tho concession of the present rulers who in- stoad of sincerely desiring peace wish to avoid the ir.gs of defeat The powers which thus make sits of desnocracies can control those gifts and when thsir purposes have been served take them back
 The thing especially to be avoided by us at this -aucture Is cntanglcment in diplomatic negotiations friih Inc central powers We and our allies are no match for them in that field. The greatest victories i5ermauy has won in the last four years have been Diplomatic victories, and in diplomatic contests the fiormaus have been uniformly successful It was German diplomacy rather than German arms that fonqucrcd Russia and all but conquered Italy, that t-e1tcd a schsm in France that all but destroyed that aly; that won over Bulgaria from the entente. and fhat for nearly three years. as long as suited the German purpose, kept America out of the war
 The allies have won only by force never by fi- posse We should stick 10 the arms with which we art familiar, which have served us best Force hes .nabiod us at last Co triumph on every front By iorcc have offset the diplomatic victories of Ger tnany and u is only by force that We shall attain the final triumph. In the words of Colonel Roosevelt. Wo must win the war with machine guns and not with typcwriters.
 The war can end only with the unconditional sur render of the powers is mmateria whether fhc surrender is made by autocracy or democracy which exists only at the pleasure of an autocracy.

A liberty Loan Araument

x dispatch appeared in The Republican yester- day morning of which tha Liberty loan workers should make the today. lt states fact which is di- l,cty at variance with the exuting news which We have read for the last two months of German rout and general German disaster, forecasting an early and total German collapse Even the most nteIli- gent and leyel-headed of readers could have fol- lowed thc newspapers closely without gathering from tfcm t.a au was nearly but the shouting.
 TIt spatch is from London and it has been ol-cry,. .at British statesmen and newspapers have fascn almcr and view of military opera i.ons than some of our own newspapers and war ex- rerts The burden of this dispatch is that a military conclusion of the war cannot be an early anc. The dispatch states:
 The German position the western front
 IS net considered perilous, although at
 tain points the changing frcnt may
 der positions dangerous at times. This
 view, which has been held by many experts
 for some time. has been strengthened by the
 German retreat to the Funding ne which is
 considered one of the most successful re-
 treats of the war, from the enemy viewpoint.
 With the Americans and French pushing hard
 on this front the Germans doubtless were
 forced to retreat faster than they had planned,
 but they lost comparatively few prisoners and
 guns for such large operation.
 The view that the startling transforma
 ton of the whole military situation in the last
 few weeks has brought the German arms face
 face with disaster stated to be unjus-
 tified in point of fact
 Tho president and the secretary of the treasury ss vel as Liberty lean workers have -warned the county. though less specifically that the is not nearly over But this warning has to a very great extent been nullifed by the flamboyant headlines of bur newspapers and the heated imagination of war writers France and at home.
 The dispatch takes account of the possible con- inrcncy Of political conclusion of the war; though it contemplacs such conclusion and only briefly mentions 1t as possibility not to be seriously con- sdcrcd.
 We this: If Germany, as the dispatch states face to face with disaster We cannot reasonably expect Germany to yield internationally 90 the which the allies have already prescribed rruch less to thc more rigid ones on which France ard Great Britain will almost certainly insist.
 If this dispatch pictures accurately the military situation Of Germany. we still have many months of var before ms and the need of many billions of dol lars.
 Let this sink into the minds of all who can buy a bond today or another bond.

AMERICAS HARVEST ARMY

When Mir Hoover quieted the hunger fears of Europe with the statement that none would want for bread, he knew what he talking about
 Americas great harvest army" has performed this year feat which is epic of labor. In its smoothly organized efficient, and almost military movement up the great Mississippi basin from Oklahoma to the Canadian line this great army of workers has saved America's wheat crop, the loss of which might well have meant the loss of the war. It's a fact worth thinking about-the worlds bread is safe for another year.
 Every year the great Grive goes on. but this year. because of the urgent need and the labor shortage special attention given the problem and the work was more thoroughly organized than ever
 This is unique army-recruited in part from migratory workers from college students tions and from clerks and business men, who can give only two three weeks to the work but do that glad ly for the nations good and their As soon as the wheat is ready in the southern states Of the wheat belt line of men is thrown across Oklahoma 40 in town 50 in another, perhaps 100 or 200 in other communities the drive is on.
 Every effort is made to keep the great land army together as long possible When one line has been run, and the wheat belt the harvest is well under way for that district A week later other line is a little farther north
 Week by week the land army marches northward By the time the Kansas harvestis ready the first line in Oklahoma, for example, has finished its work the promptly moved north to enter the new first line treliches"
 By late summer the army is working in the Dako- tas, and the American wheat crop has been saved. Moving the border about September l. the canadian crop is put out of danger when the Cana dian wheat has been harvested the men move south again for the American crop.
 Because of the constant changes in the personnel of the army, due to the fact that many members can work only for two three weeks, it is almost impossible to make real estimate of the number of men engaged; but it is army that would make big addition to any field force in France does as effective work the fighting men abroad.
 Next summer more careful plan of or ganization for the harvest will be worked out and every effort will be mace to apply labor power to the best advantage.

TEMPE, Oct. 19.-E. C. Adams came near losing a valuable young horse Monday night. The colt runs in the pasture with others. and Tuesday morning was found with a stout rope tied around it's neck so securely that it had to be cut away.
