IF the German government and It's people

mad foray for world dominion, northern Francs
and Belgium would not have been drenched N

On its knees begging for bread to prevent
starvation, Germany may regard with what
thoughts she likes her insane ambition for world
power and new Mitteleuropa. There is 10

is no ruler upon the German throne snatched
from the Black Ages bearing on his brow tFe
stamp of mediaval terror, preaching plan Of
Frightfulness and offering his ambition as 6
religious cult to his people with its psalms and
shining messages from On High.
All the ready, rash imaginations of the in

already thing of history His vast army has
been conquered and military victory has been
added to the triumph over kings and emperors
We may well be generous now in the hour
of our triumph. Not generous in the giving up
of one single point, however insignificant, that
can ever make it possible for Germany to agan
challenge its neighbors in mortal combat, but
generous in responding to DR. .SOlfs prayer for
bread 1t should not be the wish of any faction
among the Allies that the Germans be starved
If the terms of the armstice have been severe
and harsh, it is because the fullest advantage
had to be placed in the hands of the Allies -
assure the completeness of their victory.
Surely the German cry for bread will be
needed and no one will be allowed to starve.
In the meantime we must go on with our
policy of economy and saving until after next
years crops. 1t is our duty insofar as we sha!.
be able ofeed the world
Our cause was DEMOCRACY, not CON
QUEST.
And in the spirit of brotherhood and righte
BUSINESS we shall heed the pleading of the hun
CRY and do all that lies in our power to prevent
suffering. The world has had its full need ct
pain. He who can offer the ointment of kind
ness shall be welcomed in the land.

HIGH HEELS MUST

They are going by government edict

They have gone in England by com

Thus will women be brought down
to mans level in the war TO make the
world safe for democracy. BY de-
manding low shoes with low heels
from their dealers, they will get them.
Maryland women do.
And the idea Of it all is to save
leather for the lads who are larrup
ing the Hun.
There will be less leather in shoes
generally, too. That goes for Eng

States. England has a drastic law
regulating the height of footgear. The

between the height Of boors for

and usefulness by such a fashion. II.
