An Emphatic
 Endorsement

Editor Review.
 Correct Sir: The PTussian im- perial royal policy will never change whilst Wm. II, Emperor of Ger many, King of Prussia, King of Kings, Shadow of God on Earth. Su- preme One of the Kingdom has a yistage of vantage point left. There can possibly be no guarantees of peace if the present German imperial family be allowed to continue occu- patton of the royal palace at Berlin and the omnibus marble palace at Potsdam-a palace in which many "frightful' secret sessions have been held and around whose tyrannical tribunals a dark veil of secrecy has been thrown. Now, MT. Editor, whether you are rushed at in fury or fled from in fear, keep up the edi- torial agitation for the complete over throw Of the imperial and royal "goy- ernment" of Prussia Alas! how hard it will be to get a hearing. Stay with the complete overthrow idea That's what I think your leaders suggest.
 Sincerely,

The AUenue Of tue Allies

They are beginning to call Fifth avenue, New York, the Avenue of the Allies. A better name for this noble and famous thor oughfare could not well be conceived. For more than year past, now, scarcely week has elapsed that did not witness some grand military or civil pageant along this street. Parade after parade, in endless procession, toe pressing upon heel, the swinging col umns pass along Fifth avenue way. West Pointers and Annapolis cadets, boys from the training camps and boys of the regular army, rivers of khaki flow by the shops and stores of this wondrous street. Sons from every nation under the sun of heaven have marched this way. Veterans of the great war, stream by. Red Cross nurses and secretaries of the two Y associations and civilians and war workers of every class, age, degree and sex have tramped this street this year in parade. Avenue of the Al iesl" Why not? The British and French and Italian and Australian and Canadian troops have all passed this way in parade. The sounds of marching feet never cease here The flags of all our allies arch the avenue The Serb and the Slav, and the Jap anC OldIIleeSe anu the NlIlldilidh anu the African and the Cuban and the Greek have all passed under these flags, carrying arms in their hands and marching with the thunder step that only long hours on the drill ground can impart. The Avenue of the Allies! A world famous street for this young nation. A street worthy to rank in history with the Palais Royale of France and the Trafalgar Square of England's realm. And so this young republic comes into her own at last The Marne and the Argonne and Cambrai witnessed her coming, and the Avenue of the Allies shall commemorate it as an arch of triumph

MARIcoPA TO PHOENIX
CFrom the Chicago Tribune)

(From the Chicago Tribune) The train was very late. Through close darkness It sped a swaying course On and on, Hurrying towards the capital city. Patient passengers, Dropping and nodding, Rocked with the lurching car As it Whirled Across the night-fragrant mesa. Suddenly A little man, browsing by an open window Was galvanized into action And staggered down the unsteady
 aisle; His face was tortured Into a mask of unutterable lOathing. Then IA nameless, awful odor Filled the air, penetrating even The benumbed senses of the wa.
 farers, The late train was very swift The late skunk had not been.

And there IS no visible sign or tokens by which one may look for the fall of Wilhelm and his house via the revolution route. In fact. in spite of lot of high flown ideals in this country to the contrary, the German people have always been, are still, as proud and ar rogant and anxious for world power and dominion as their rulers. German ruth Iessness is thoroughly German and has been too universal and too complete and too spontaneous to have been the part and pol icy of one mind and idea or the idea of single set or party in the German empire. The protest against it from within has been too slight for Germany as whole to escape the blame or payment of the price.

Unconditional Surrender

If President Wilson had to send note at all, he could not have sent better one than this last reply to Germany Practically it is an ultimatum in which the demand is made for unconditional surrender Further he makes himself clear upon the great ques- ton of Alsace-Lorraine Germany must give up these provinces to France, outright before any peace will be considered. Now this, it is not believed Germany will do until she is broken and beaten to the ground. Anyway, she has so declared, through her papers and officials even up to yesterday. So, let.us bend every energy to carry on at full speed another year of war at the least, or until such time as Germany breaks down entirely, and the best informed place that event at about year hence.
