ACROSS THE RHINE AND ON TO
BERLIN.

The terms to Bulgaria must nov
be the terms to Germany, to Austria
to INTERCHANGEABLE surrender
Unconditional surrender and immedi-
ate evacuation of invaded territory;
unconditional surrender and instant
stacking of arms.
And the peace treaty must be sign
ed in Berlin, with our victorious arm
les firing alvos of victory with cap
tured German guns. t. impress indei
IDLY upon the min Is j. the German
people that their reckless leaders
have brought humiliation and ruin
upon them.
This is no time for a negotiated
peace, with kaiser proclaiming such
exhortations as "My navy is holding
its own against the united enemy
naval forces; troops of all the Ger
man states are heroically defending
the fatherland on foreign soiP; "the
eyes of those at home rest with pride
and admiration on the deeds of the
army and the navy"
This is no time for negotiated
peace, when the new German chan
cellor, speaking before the applauding
reichstag, declares:
Only when our enemies feel that the
German people stand united back of
their chosen leaders - then only can
words become deeds. Thanks
to the Incompatible heroism of our
army, which will live as an immortal,
glorious page in the history of the Ger
man people for all times, the front is
unbroken.
The German peoples chosen leaders !
Chosen by whom? The kaiser still hugs
the delusion that he was chosen by God.
and he in turn not the German people
nor the German reichstag, chooses all
his ministers, including the new chancel-
Tor, and his generals = Hindenburg,
Ludendorff and all the others
William of Germany is nightly
scared, but unrepentant still He fishes
now for tricky peace in order that he
may save and perpetuate the monstrous
evils which inflicted all this death, de-
struction and misery upon a mortified
wor1d-Prussian absolutsm and autoc-
racy and Prussian militarists and
"kultur"
A negotiated peace which stopped one
hour short of driving into the minds of
the German masses the knowledge that
the kaiser, the crown prince, Hindenburg
and Ludendorff had suffered an ibnomi-
NOUS drubbing, that the German armies
were smashed and routed, that the allied |
powers and their armies were 100 per
cent victors and the kaiser 100 per cent
vanquished and suppliant, can not and
must not be considered

BUY MORE BONDS.
Instead of Stacking up in the purchase
Of Liberty bonds, American people should
make a rush to secure these now that
If the war should end within
the present year these bonds will go
above par and be in great demand and
the buyers can get cash, with interest
and good advance for them.
On the other hand, if the kaiser con-
tinues to fight, we will need the money
to keep our soldiers supplied with guns,
and food more than ever
before. There never has been time (
since the war began that the government
las needed the undivided support of its ,
,itizens as it needs that support now. i
Buy bonds and then buy some more {
ponds That is the only way many of us
an help, but we can help that way. y

IF the American people halt in the +
uying of Liberty bonds because of the
peace" offer of the kaiser, he will re-
ard that offer, even though rejected as 5
aving not been made in vain. He will
ave accomplished much to aid his pur- n
ose. Don't help the kaiser by defeating

President Wilson has given the kind a
an answer we expected to the kaiser's :,
peal. He has made it plain that the +
nited States will deal only with the d
liser when he is completely whipped. P
therwise it will deal with the German z
ople after the kaiser is deposed- h
