LETTERS TO EDITOR
All the Way to Berlin

To the Editor of The Age-HeraId.
 When we see so much talk about peace and the Germans surrendering to every point Wilson has demanded, I believe that 1t makes the blood of every loyal American to see how these damnable brutes are trying to create dissension in the ranks of the allies and finally cause more hideous debacle than the affair they created in Russia, with whom they created separate peace.
 Just as the soldiers handed Christ the sponge with bitterness instead of water, when he cried out in his agony, just so would the Kaiser, posing as mod ern Judas, like to hand the sponge of hyssop to the American people through our President.
 I believe that should America not do her duty to avenge those poor Belgians, Serbians, French and Rumanans that the very bones of Lafayette would come to life and try to lead his people to victory; George Washington would be ashamed to be known as The Father of His Country" and Abraham Lincoln and Gen. Robert T.. Lee would fail to rec ognize this generation of. Americans as the offspring of those valiant ones who fought during their times for the cause they each thought was right; Columbus in his grave, would never cease to re-
  and Edison would wonder why he still tolls to give her the best he has.
 This condition of things is just what the German people want and, MT. Edi- tor, believe when Germany wants peace she will do like Bulgaria did. She will throw up her hands and say, I'm licked. Do what you want to with me- Then we should listen, but how will Germany be able to repent of her wrong-doing ha is oil tp ftNp tn her spells which she has collected on the territory of France and Belgium2 When those grand American boys of ours, shedding their life blood each hour, are nearing the border of those brutes they throw up their hands. holler ''kameradF and shoot them in the back if they turn their heads. If, in the hour of victory, we are to stop these boys from accom- plishing their task, are the Begians to be reyenged Are the Serbians to be for gotten? Are the Armenians, slaughtered by Germans vassal. Turkey, to be thrown into oblivion. without so much as a chance at repentance by the Ger mans for what they have done? Is poor little Montenegro, way up in the noun tains, to be forgotten? and shall those valiant men under one of the most be- loved Queens the world has ever known (the Rumanians) be denied the chance to come back, as she has dramatically remarked to her brave troops, But thank God they shall come back ere long. Shall these be forgotten2
 God forbid that we should glory in the spilling of blood, that we should crave the death of the innocent, that we should become as heathen, but if we as Americans are to free the world of this damnable curse, which will affect generations to come, I say our first step is to let the Hun holler for peace and the harder he yells the faster we must send troops over there and, friends, don't let's give up the ship until we reach Berlin. Am 1 right2 Let's hear from some of you. As that famous man said .They shall not pass. let us Americans say. "rhey shall not stop tuntli they reach Berin).
 Yours for liberty and freedom,
