The Only Peace Terms Which
We Should Ever Consider
From the Manufacturers Record

UNCONDITIONAL urr n d r
must be Americas answer to
any suggestion of peace from
Germany, and there should be no
consideration even of unconditional
surrender until Germany's armies
have by the power of might been
driven from every country which
they nave overrun and until millions
of soldiers of the Allies-which
means our soldiers and the soldiers
of our European Allies-have march,
ed through Germany and Austria
and Turkey and taken possession OF
Berlin, Vienna and Constantinople.
Not until this has been done Will
the people of these countsies fully
comprehend that all their boasted
power is gone and that they have
been overwhelmingly defeated
Then when the rulers and the mill
tary leaders Jointly responsible for
the last four years have been hanged
or shot-and not until then-should
there be any gathering around a
peace table.
Until our armies are in the capi-
tails of these countries of unspeak-
able crimes. and have made their
rulers pay the last penalty in their
own death, should we for one mo-
ment consider meeting the repre-
sentatives of these countries for
peace. Unconditional surrender, not
with the thought mat this may
carry any sentimental effort of senti-
mentalists or neurotics to save these
criminals from the Just penalty Of
their crimes, should be the determ-
ination of all the Allies.
We are not fighting in any war
such as the world has ever known.
We are not fighting human beings
such as civilization has known. We
are fighting fiends. super-fiends. who
have brought upon the world such
suffering, such an outpouring OF
blood, as has not been known
through all the history of mankind.
These criminals. these murderers,
these rapists, these looters, these
manglers of women and children.
these fiends of hell itself, who put
to shame all that hell had ever
known, must be treated as we would
treat the blacklist criminal who ever
disgraced humanity. To think of
treating these criminals in any other
way would indicate that we are with
out moral backbone. without any
moral standard, and ready to sacri-
fee honor and the civilization of the
future. The men who have died on
the battlefields of France and Bel

TRAFFIC CONGESTION

1.-TWO important provisions must
be considered in connection with
the new traffic regulations-the
parking OF cars In the congested
business district and the regulation
of heavy traffic on the River Drive
and other park streets.
1t was never contemplated that
the main driveway OF the city along
the river should be utilized for all
manner of heavy traffic, but during
the last two months the conditions
have become so intolerable that 1t
will soon be necessary 20 surrender
the street entirely 10 traffic and
drays and every kind OF vehicle, 10
the exclusion OF the tourist travel
and the pleasure driving in the city.
We 90 not believe that the gentle
men Of the City Council will permit
this TO be done, but unless stringent
1ules and regulations are at once
adopted regarding this driveway the
situation is bound TO get worse in
stead OF better.
So. also. with respect TO the heavy
trucks that are gradually breaking
down the asphalt streets and which
will entail upon the city an enor-
nous bill OF repair during the next
year or two. OF course, the ordinary
traffic OF the business community
must be considered. but under proper
regulations.

GUM and Italy and Russia and
Serbia in defense of civilization will
have died in vain If those who have
caused their death do not themselves
have to pay the death penalty.
Let this thought be driven home,
deep down into the soul of every
American man and woman, as we'll
as of all in the countries who for
nearly four years have stood between
civilization and hell itself. Let
there be an evergrowing determine
ton to punish these numbering ma
tions to the last extremity in the
death Of the criminal leaders and in
pecuniary punishment which for
a century to come will tax to the
utmost power the strength of Ger
many and Austria and Turkey in
order that they may help to atone
for their unspeakable crimes and to
pay to England, to France, to Bel
gium, to Italy and to other allied
countries, as well as to the United
States, as far as money can do, the
fearful money loss caused by the
work of these looters and freeooot-
ers, these devils incarnate.
We absolutely dissent from the
teaching that no indemnity from
Germany and it's allies shall be de-
manded by the united SIdleS' why
should we give millions OF lives ana
billions of money to stay the rush
of the murderers and looters and not
demand repayment Of the cost and
the return of the loot? 1dealism that
we are fighting merely on altruistic
principles must give way to stern,
unflagging, never-ceasing determina-
ton to punish these robber nations
and make them pay the full penalty
for their crimes.
AS we'll might one think of count
ing the devil himself as friend; as
well might one think of welcoming
the devil into his home from some
false. sentimental neurotc idea as
to think of ever associating with the
men who have been responsible for
this war, whether they be the lead
ers or those who have joyously been
led, hoping that by looting the world
they might enrich themselves and
Germany and Austria and Turkey.
These are the things which we
must bear in mind when the time
comes, as it surely will come, when
Germany will plead for peace on
Germany's terms and will work
every pro-German influence in the
world to create symathy for the
cringing towards, as In that day we
shall find them to be.

Elimination OF the smoke nuisance
IN Pittsburgh has attracted the at
tention OF civic leaders throughout
the country. Time was when il was
contended that a city should con-
tinue TO suffer indefinitely from tons
OF dirt sifted over the community
through the atmosphere. Scientific
means have been discovered. however.
for the elimination OF smoke, and it
ought 10 be the business OF the City
Council OF Harrisburg to see to II
that steps are taken TO prevent any
increase OF the smoke nuisance while
efforts are being made TO get rid OF
1t altogether. Elimination OF the
smoke also means q conservation OF
fuel. because il has been demonstrated
that enormous heating energy is
wasted through the consumption Of
coal IN the old way.

So we pray for our dear fathers,
And our brothers and our cousins,

Who've crossed the sea
To fight for Liberty.

And let them be
Free from all little bothers.
Make them remember us, and
keep them true
To us and Thee,
And give them Victory.
We ask all this for Jesus sake
Who came to save us all
And make us free;
Who wants the whole wide world
To live in Liberty.
