The Premature Jubilee.

There can be no possible reproach to those who
took part in the midnight and early Sunday morning
Jubilee. under the misapprehension that the war
was over Il was the surprise of the situation as it
had been heraIded as much the JOY that such
thing could be- that took the people off their feet
and they did not stop TO ask why or how it had
come about but joined glad acclaim Of
peace and satisfaction.
All they knew was that the mayor had received
telegram to shout the good tidngs that all the
central powers had subscribed to the Wilson peace
terms conditional upon the termination of hosities
The message that brought about the celebration
came from the Hearst papers The mayor of Rock
Island in common with other municipal chiefs in
the county. received late in the night the infor
nation that the oucry Of JOY, and the signal
was given through the works whistle

Of trlumphs in the world war. And they poured
out of their homes and swarmed the streets. They
marched and sang. and shouted and the noise and
tumuit continued until nearly daylight yesterday.
And yet the people were shouting for peace when
there was no peace. Peace with victory is the only
kind that the civilized nations Of the earth in
ceped all Of President Wilson'S conditions that will
put a new construction upon it. Otherwise with

allies with which America is associated, could turn
down Germany's offers Of peace when the sky
darker and the situation hopeless. than it is
today the allies will promptly refuse to consider
cessation Of hosiIities now until the end for which
we are all striving. is attained
Ii will not be surprising if it is developed that the
German government desperation to save itself
from complete rout, shrewdIy devised the scheme
which heraIded throughout the world Saturday
night for the very purpose of taking the American
people off their feet. One motive may have been
to inspire false hopes of speedy end of the war
thus interfere with, the success Of the pending
Liberty loan drive which it is already manifest is
tagging because Of prevalent feeling that peace IS
near.
Another object may have been to create the
impression in Europe that the American people are
eager and camoring for peace, and as anxious for
it as il Germany and other central powers them
selves, Hence grasping at straws This is not
the case The American people want peace only
when all the objects for which in common with the
other allies they fighting for, are secured We
want only such peace as means humiliation Of
Prussienism. and all that is attached to it.
Victory Is in sight but not won until the foes Of
all that is worth living for lay down their arms and
hand over the sword

A PRAYER PROM THE RANKS.

Silent, the snowy mOuntain-tops
Keep watch through the starlit

Safe in her valley the village
sleeps,
Wrapped in her mantel OF white.
Can this be France, OF the cannon S

And the shell-torn battlefelds-
France of a thousand thousand
graves
And wars grim harvest yield?
N the gently swaying treetop there
A withered Leaf still clings;
And. venturous haTbinger Of
spring.

Yet why are the young men seen
no more,
And why do the women veal

Ask of that distant. muttering roar
Which the hilisides echo back.
LAeAI 10 pay
Maker Of Earth, Can Thy chill
dren be blamed
If they fling up their question to
Thee,
When the husbandman sleeps
meath the soil he should till,
Why such things as these things
must be?
Yet, 10, we have come long,
weary way
To Stay with the sword and be
slain,
Mems feet to restore to the path
ways of peace
Though we never tread them
again.
Grant US this prayer; that the toll
athat We pay
May not have been levied in vain;
That when it is sheathed the sword
of the world
May never see sunlight again.
When the roses shall climb DER the
crumbiing trench
And the guns are all silenced III

Nay war find a grave where no
hand shall disturb,
