WAR PROBLEMS
 AND PEACE OFFERS

The trouble with discussing the Austrian peace offer, or any other made by the two burglar govern ments we are fighting, is that amy words, promises, and treaties that Germany and Austria may make are not worth as much as a counterfeit cent piece. Anyone who attaches the slightest value to any agreement they make, is too innocent lamb to live in this wicked world.
 When our troops have occupied good slice of German territory, then will be time to discuss peace terms. Then we can sit down for a brief sea- son and say: MT. Kaiser, we don't place the slightest reliance in your word. and don't consider that any agreement you may make with us Is worth two cents. We hold this terri tory of yours, and propose to hold it until such time as you make due re- paration for your infamous deeds. When you get ready to come across and give some positive evidence you don't do it again, you can have back vour territory, but not until then.
 Then the Kaiser might make real peace offer. Any talk of peace prev ious to that time leads people to let up a little on those continuous sacri-

GOES ON RECORD
 FOR HOSPITAL AND MEDICAL BENEFITS

Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 27-The legislative committee of the American Hospital Association today submitted the recommendations that the asso- citation go on record in favor of hos pital and medical benefits to those in sured under sickness or death insur- ance to the extent of restoration in wholesome working and living con ditions and that the principle of hospitals for service rendered as ap- piled to proposals for compulsory sickness or health insurance" be fla vored.
 The committee requests that 1t be authorized to render such advice and assistance as it can to the various state health insurance commissions and that these commissions be urged to include in their recommendations for legislation the principles advo- cated in the report.

WAR GROWS SAVAGE
Present Methods Contrasted With Those of Twenty
 Years Ago.

One night. twenty years ago, sat in an army camp in Cuba during the Santiago campaign. listening to a discussion of war weapons. That day some 2.00O men had been killed ana wounded in a three hours battle, which involved all of Shafter's army corps at San Juan Hill and at Fl Ca- ney. The matter which created the most comment was the very small per cent. of mortalities in the cas- ualty list The wounded would nearly all recover. and. except here and there, without permanent injury. Two American staff officers. were discuss ing it and praising the Mauser rifle, which the Standards were using: l remember substantially the words of one of the staff officers. He said: ''1t is more merciful weapon than the Kraig, which we are using. because it is of smaller bore, makes a cleaner wound and puts the other fellow out of business just as effectively as the Krag does without infiicting as dan gerous an injury
 remember that they both agreed that the science of modern war was to knock the other fellow out without slaughtering him. I thought of that odd American conception of that 20 yearAold period while visiting yester day a hospital where Americans were being brought in from the field. Some of the men are indescribably man. gled; some wounds lie open as though they had been made with cleaver--- others are of the crushed. ragged kind. I went from this dangerously wounded ward into neighboring tent where 200 gassed men with ban daged eyes tossed restlessly. As I thought of the desperately wounded l had just left and of those poisoned men, called upon to defend them selves against an inhuman weapon which gave them no chance to strike blow for blow. I realized the utter savagery to which we have reverted since that gentle day in which we sank the Spanish navy and made guests of the Spanish army until the hour arrived when we might send the conauered home in chivalry and 1 in honor.---Kansas City Times.

THE OLD HOME STILL,

The latest utensil offered to deai- CTS In hardware is the home still." One of the largest firms in Buffalo has received communications setting forth the superiority of a newly manufactured still" which is soon to be placed on the market in dry sec tions.
 The home stilP' is not unlike that used in the moonshine sections of the South. It is small, being adapted to use in the home. It could be set up in the kitchen or cellar and is guaranteed to produce the genuine article if the proper ingredients are used In fact, it could probably be placed alongside the chaf1ng dish and so operated as to produce a sufficient amount of "moonshine" for cons sumption as an appetizer to the Welsh rarebit. The product of the "stilP' is not guaranteed to be fire proof, however, and anybody who has ever taken four fingers of moon shine" will testify that for kick" it is in a class by itself.
 The poor chap who now complains because there is no longer any punch to a. glass of beer the aIco- holic content of which has been re- duced to practically nothing, will have his fondest desires realized by the introduction into our social cus- toms of the home still" He may become obsessed with the idea that the neighborhood is too densely pop ulated and kill off few members of his family and friends after being well-filled with homemade John Barleycorn, but the advocates of pro- hibition have no doubt looked well into the future and would excuse a man committing such an offense.
 The price of the home still" may not be within the reach of the man who prefers to quench his thirst with glass of beer or light wine, but that will be to his advantage. He can find solace in the babys paregoric, bottle or saturate his hide with hard cider.-Buffalo (N. Y.) Enquirer.

PUBLIC SERVICE
 RAILWAY IN N. ). GIVEN INCREASE

Trenton, N. J., Sept. 27-The Pub lie Service Railway, operating more than half the trolley lines in the state, was granted an increase of fares from five to seven cents in an order of the state board of Public Utility Commissioners today. Tho new rate Is effective from Oct. 15 next to March S1, 1919. After the latter date six cent fare will pre- vail.
 Recently the company was allowed to charge one cent for each initial transfer. This and the advanced rates, the board stated, are necessary to provide the company with suff1- cient revenue for operations of it's lines.
 In approving the advanced fares, the board stated, allowance was made for an estimated expenditure of S1,- 0S6, 900 a year for wages, under a ruling of the national war labor board raising the pay of public ser vice car operators following a short lived strike last summer.

REPORTS 4,561
 WOMEN WHO ARE { READY FOR WORK
Census By Minute Women Shows Very Encouraging
 Patriotism in City.

The number of Bridgeport women willing to go to work immediately in the munitions factories was increased to 4.561 when reports from various generals in command of teams of Minute Women who are taking the census of the woman power of the Gs6Y were filed this noon at headquar- ters, S64 Main street.
 Of this number 1912 women, most of them never having done any man. ual labor, have signif1ed their willing ness to work full time, and 3,242 are willing to work part time. The re- mainder, 10,459, are women who are employed or whose family circum- stances or health are such that they cannot go to work. The total num- Der of women registered so far is 15,013.
 Mrs. Charles G. Sanford, one of the generals in command of the census takers, today issued an appeal for vol unteers to help the Minute Women in making the enumeration. The rainy weather this week delayed the work of the women, so that the returns will not be complete tonight. It is hoped to have them all in by tomorrow noon, and if the city has not been covered by that time the workers will continue it until the census is complete.
 Several instances of women who re- fused to give data to the enumera- { tors have been reported to the War Bureau, and the proper authorities will visit these houses.
 Crif6fh m Hin Q the workers in the 10th district, is the | first general to have her returns com plete.

SPIRATION WAS
 DEATH KNELL OF GERMAN SAUSAGE

British Airdrome in France, Sept. 27.-(Correspondence of The Associat- ed Press)-How the inspiration of a moment led to the destruction of a German sausage balloon by a Brit ish observation airplane was related by the airplane pilot, Lieutenant G. w. Elderkin, to The Associated Press The pilot and his observer were re- turning from an observation flight when they discovered the balloon.
 Far over the Hun lines I could see the one solitary balloon below the clouds" the young Lieutenant said. Doubtless it was up to make a weather report. The sight of gave me a sudden inspiration. I scribbled on my pad: Shall we 'strafe' the Hun Balloon?"
 T passed the message over my shoulder and a moment later looked around. The observer was all mods and grins.
 Tt was a risky adventure, but the Iconditions were very favorable, I commenced to chmp towards a gap in the clouds well behind our lines. In three minutes time we were up above bathed in brilliant sunshine. Below the clouds had the appearance of trees well covered with snow. I steered due east by the compass.
 Five minutes later I looked about Not a Hun was in sight and we were invisible from the ground. Down went the nose of our machine, and in a few seconds we were in a clammy mist. I could see nothing, but we whra droDnino ,,a Di5J1r
 "A few more seconds, and the earth appeared. I could see the balloon nearly a mile away. The Huns had | spotted us, for black Archie bursts began to appear. They became thick CT and thicker, barring our war to the balloon. The gunners had got our height perfectly. Suddenly, I dived very steeply, pulled up, and climbed again. We could now hear machine guns from the ground. But we had passed the barrage and were heading straight for the balloon.
 T popped off about 100 rounds from the front gun and turned in the direction of our lines. The observer then got busy. He had fired only about twenty rounds when we saw a mere speck of fire. Watching closely we climbed towards the clouds. The speck became a flame, and, still in- creasing in size, commenced to fall,- a huge sheet of fire.
 "The 'Archies' were firing by this time more vigorously than ever, an6 several machine gun bullets haG pierced our wings. A moment later we disappeared into the clouds. Fly. ing by compass for ten minutes more we dived again, hardly daring to hope that we should recognize our position

fees that are necessary to maintain high scale of military and mechani- cal effort.
 No doubt the war lords have put out this peace offer at time when they think it will hurt the sale of Lib- erty bonds. There are some people who will give it as an excuse for not buying bonds, that peace will soon be under discussion, and they will not need to come across so heavily as be- fore.
 This is not the case. There will be no peace until the German people ara thoroughly licked and have finally got it into their heads that starting wars is not a business proposition. Other wise we shall have another war to pay for within few years. It is cheaper to pay the bill all at once.
