PEACE OFFER DESIGNED TO HIN.
DER BOND SALES?

Washington.-One thought concern
ing the German peace offer that found
expression in many quarters tonight
was that the Germans, in launching
their effort just at this time, probably
hoped to affect the fourth Liberty loan
by screaing the idea that the end of
the war is at hand.
F is believed, however, that their
effort will have the directly opposite
effect. Officials were confident that
the American people will even more
generously oversubscribe the loan now
as one means of convincing the kaiser
that there shall be no peace except
a victorious one.

Emperor William issued a procla-
nation to the German army and
navy in which, after announcing that
the Macedonian front had crumbled,
he declared that he had decided, in
accord with his allies, to again offer
peace to. the enemy.
The text of the emperor's prcclama-
ton reads:
For months past the enemy with
enormous exertiOns and almost with
out pause in the fighting has stormed
against your lines. In weeks OF strug-
gle. often without repose, you have
had to persevere and resist a numeri-
cally far superior enemy. Therein lies
the greatness of the task which has
been set for you and which you are
fulfilling. Troops OF all the German
states are doing their part and are
heroically defending the ratherland
on foreign soil. Hard is the task.
My navy is holding its own against
the united enemy naval forces and is
unwaveringly supporting the army in
it's difficult struggle.
The eyes of those at home rest
with pride and admiration on the
deeds of the army and navy. I ex-
press to you the thanks Of myself and
the father1and.
THE COLLAPSE CT the Macedonian
front has occurred in the midst of the
hardest struggle. In accord with cur
allies l have resolved once more to
offer peace to the enemy but l will
only extend my hand fer an honorable
peace. We owe that to the heroes
who have laid down their lives for
the fatherland, and we make that ou=
duty to our children.
Whether arms will be lowered is a
question. Until then we must: not
slacken. We must, IS hitherto, exert
all our strength unwearily to hold our
ground against the onslaught of our
enemies.
'The, hour is grave but trusting in
your strength ard in, GODS gracious
help, we ourselves to be strong enough
to defend our beloved fether1and

Why High Point Should Subscribe Its

Why High Point Should Subscribe It's
Libefty LeSn Quota Quickly.
| We waht to sfeu the people of High
Point and vicinity why they should
| subscribe the-fu1l quota Of the Fourth
Liberty loan assigned to them. High
/ Point and the country Immediately
surrounding and tributary has sent
1850 soldiers into the service of the
United States. They are in the army
the navy and marine corps. They are
fighting the battles Of this country
of this community, High Point has a
vital interest in Winning this war
the same vital interest that every
other part of the country has in pre-
serving the honor and integrity of
America and safeguarding humanity
for all time.
Tt costs in round numbers about ST.
O00 a year to maintain soldier. To
send that soldier overseas, clothed,
armed and equipped for modern war
fare costs about $1,000 more, and con-
sequently the 1900 men from High
Point in the service of the United
States cost the government $3,000,0O0
Isn't that reason enough why we
should subscribe our share to this
Liberty loan? 4
OE course we nave already furnished
the men, but just remember we are
not doing the fighting. The boys are
in the trenches and facing the storm
of German shet and shell on that long
battle line in France. We people OF
High Point have something more to
do besides proudly waving our flags
as our boys go to the front. We've
got to help pay for keeping them at
the front. They are making the su-
preme sacrifice. We are only requir-
ed to make sacrifice in money. Hold
on, bit! Is it sacrifice to buy a
government bond? Not a bit of it,
The only sacrifice is in using the
money that ycu have or the money
that you can get in the next few
months to buy bond, the best in the
world, and which VIII pay you good
interest. on your investment.
High Points going to subscribe her
quota all right. We know that But
let's do it quic and get into the honor
roll like a lot of other cities and
towns did on the last loan. cts make
a record that will put High Point on
the map.

Washington.-The kaiser's address

nouncing the peace offer probably at
tracted more attention here than the
offer itself. In spite of his still arro-
CANT tone, it was realized this was
the nearest thing to renunciation of
saber-rattling that ever has come
from him. His admission that the
Macedonian front has "crumbled" was
looked upon. as significant and even
his: declaration that "our front" will
not be broken was called singularly
modest from such source.
