ALSACE LORRAINE MUST
BE RETURNED TO FRANCE
such is Assertion OF Louis Aubert
VINO Says There Are Oother OBJ
stacles to Peace, However.

Springfield, ILL.,, April 22.-Al-
though Alsace Lorraine is by no
means the only obstacle to peace. no
peace can come, Louis Aubert. of the
French high command, declared in 4
speech here, until the territory
wrested from France nearly half a
century ago is restored.
The return of Alsace Lorraine to
France" he said. would commem-
crate the victory of the principles
FOR which we are all fighting. When
Herr Won Kuehlmann or Count
Czernin proclaim that Alsace Lor-
raine is the only obstacle to peace
do not believe them. But no
peace is possible without the return
OF Alsace Lorraine to France for tho
brutal severance of these French
provinces was the first crime of the
new German empire against democ-
racy and out OF that crime have
come all the others that have az
founded the world"

question is whether we will live in
a free country governed by ourselves
or in one owned and controlled and
ruled by the Kaiser. There is only
one country worse than Germany and
that is hell itself. and if / had my
choice as to which one to live in, as
long as the Kaiser is in Germany I'd
rather be in hell.
Our forefathers went to war $50
years ago for our freedom and won
it, and IL that hadn't been, we would
have been in this war three years
before when Canada and other Brit
ish territory went in. The frustra-
tion OF the Kaiser's plans by the
French in the battle OF the Marne
kept us out of the war for the time.
People fail to realize the seriousness
OF the situation by reason OF the fact
that we are 3 900 miles away, but we
are nearer to France today than
Germany is-only seven days and
seven nights-and Germany has been
four years trying to get to France"

of the German spy system in Ameri-

preparations so vast and so efficient
that the record should shame tho
cavilier and silence the partisan.
The speaker reviewed these prepar.
ations briefly and appealed for one
ness of purpose to win the war. THE
members of a household do not fight
one another when a mad dog is at
tacking them. The commander of
our destroyer fleet spoke for navy
worthy of Jones and Barry when he
answered the English commander:
We are ready now He spoke for
the army, the government and the
people who have vindicated the eff
cheney of a democracy in war.
Since Bismarck uttered his bru-
tai epigram, blood and iron has been
the shibboleth of Prussia. A ma
tion born of battle and growing by
conquest, Germany's immoral phil
osophers have taught her to worship
war as the bringer of all good. She
has forgotten the book which SAYS:
They that take the sword shall per-
ish by the sword
THE Prussian creed is this: Il
believe In state free from all re-
straint OF conscience and owing no
duty except the ruthless pursuit of
its own material advantage In the
train of that hell-born creed follow
all the crimes OF Germany. In view
OF 1t, at least it becomes credible
that she has slaughtered the inno-
cents like Herod, martyred the
Christians like Nero, torn solemn
treaties in to scraps of paper, and
that almost with stones throw of
the house in which / live her ac-
credited representatives enjoying the
nations hospitality conspired to
burn our factories. sink our ships
and murder our citizens.
America. the nation so full of
faith in goodness, came very slowly
to credit such things. Then she
warned us from the wide, free seas
found that she had sought to draw
Mexico and Japan into our war upon
us while we were still neutral. Now
we see with clear vision her full
purpose to dominate ond enslave the
world and we have sworn to resist
that purpose until the last American
falls dead.

Mr.. Kluttz's Address.

Hon. Whitehead Kluttz, of Sails
bury, n. c., and Washington, was
introduced by Colonel Springs as "a
man direct from headquarters, a
mere youth, who was honored by the
people OF his own State who elected
him speaker OF the house of repre-
sentatives of North Carolina, and
who now is connected with the De-
partment of State, at Washington.
Mr.. Kluttz said it was a great
privilege and pleasure to come back
to Carolina. "All the way down here
from Washington" he said, "my
heart has been singing: I'm
gwine back to Dixie know South
Carolina will do her full duty in this
war as she has done in every war be-
+ fore. South Carolina was the first
State to come up to her full quota in
Red Cross membership, rising from
1000 members to $4,000 mem
bers; the Y. NJ. C. A. war work al
lotment for South Carolina was
100000 and she subscribed $780,
600; the last Liberty loan was over
subscribed six million dollars.
'"The Germans trust is in the
sword, his creed is that Might Makes
Right. The theory OF the German
government is that a government
needs no conscience but can do any
thing necessary to win the war, no
matter how evil or how horrible
Understanding this creed we can un-
derstand how Germany blocked the
efforts at the Hague peace confer
ence to disarm and bring peace To
all the world.
THE Liberty loan is not a gift to
the government-it Is the best in
vestment in the world; a gilt-edge
investment. The corporation of the
