WAY to Meet the peace" Cry.


at a "standstill' because Of torrentlai
rains. Thursdays dispatches tell or
the launching of an attack on botn
sides the ST. Mihiel salient, by French
and Americans against the Germans.
AS we suggested yesterday, don't get
uneasy because the drive in Flanders
a., Picardy or anywhere else, mas
slowed up but watch Foch.
When the travelling is bad or 1t is
becoming costly to force the enemy
out of a hole. the allied chief lets
them gather their forces to hold
and then he holds" and strikes
somewhere else.
oh. YES: 1t keeps 'em guessing. and
IL keeps them too busy to reorgan-
ize an army of maneuver as they
scurry back and forth to strengthen
beaten, dishoartened and stampeding
Huns, who are so "victorlousiy
making back tracks from down PARIS
way.
From the very fact that the drive
TO the northward had been slowing
up, the allies pounding only hard
enough to keep the Hun commanders
at Douai Cambria, st. Quentin and
l.aon wig -wagging for help ana
then more help" we had expected
thunderbolt elsewhere.
Leaving that to our distinguished
military friend of the wrinkled
rn-,ks and the kindly eye, we turn to
the waving appeal Of the bloody hand
At the krupp munitions works at
Essen, Thursday, Emperor William
voiced the panic that is chilling the
liouid in his dastardly heart. He told
the workmen that everyone to the re-
hottest corner of the Fatherland
knew that he had left no stone un-
turned to shorten the war as far as
possible for your people and for the
whole civilized European world"
He spoke of increasing food diff
cu,ties. clothing difficulties. and
losses. sorrows and cares" He said
It took two to make peace-Tha]
one could not do it unless he could
overcome the other
After much verbal camouhage the
Kaiser said:
Even though, in the opinion OF
many among you, it is lasting toe
long, every German man and German
woman must. in witnessing these in
comparably heroic deeds of our army
and our navy, be aware that we are
fighting and struggling for existence
and that we must make the utmost
effort to defend ourselves victorious.
~, not only through the work but as
regards the thoughts of our people,
The Kaiser's arrogance of las
March seems to have slid down hi:
yellow spine and is now seeping GU
at the end Of his toes. He is NJ
longer talking of what the supreme
war lord" is to bring upon his enc
mics because they attacked" him
but he is wailing to the German peo'
pie to fight and struggle" on. t.
preserve the existence of the Ho
henzollerns.
Like Baron Burian, the Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister, the
Kaiser pleads with the people to save
his satanic rulership from dis.
ruption at the hands of the al
lies. II they will only hold out" ir
their continued suffering and hope
lessness perhaps he can fool the al
lies into a peace" that will save hi:
precious neck.
Peace is the one big desire OF thu
Hohenzollerns and Hapsburgs, il
these days when the allies are pound
Ing steadily eastward and will not b.
aenied. II is peace on earth" o
death to them. and both these fate
are marching relentlessly towar,
Potsdam and Vienna. The Kaise
and Behindy and Deludy and Kar
and Won Burian are ready to max,
any kind of Germany peace, ii
you will only let us off this time"
These red handed cutthroats pre-
cipitated the war deliberately accord
Ing to elaborate plot, and their fat.
must not be less that utteraelimina
ton from world consideration. Tn
German and Austrian people and tn
oppressed Croats, Serbs, Slovene
and Humans must be relieved of tn
weight Of these pirate plotters. Tn
czechs and Slovaks must be raise
from under the CORY heels Of thes
monsters. The German and Austri
peoples must be brought to bless tn
powers for relieving them of thei
rotten dynasties. These parasite
see the end and they pale and shive
and appeal
Now is the time to remember wha
the Hun war lords have done to u
and to helpless millions. and our dut
to the peoples they dominate. No,
