With District sales total Of more

WAR COSTS IN SEVEN MONTHS
LESS THAN u. S. ESTIMATES

Actual war expenditures for the first
seven months Of the fiscal year were
far less than estimates. the Treasury
has announced in a report of govern
ment receipts and expenditures for the
period.
For ordinary war purposes the gov
ernment has spent about $3.50, 100000
in the seven months, although esti-
mated expenses for twelve months were

CLEAN PEACE DEMAND
Of LORD LANSDOWNE
Marquis Concurs Entirely With
Lloyd George and Wilson
Speeches

LONDON. February 1.-The Marquis
Of Lansdowne in an address today said
that he concurred entirely with the re-
cent speeches Of David Lloyd George.
the British prime minister, and Presi-
dent Wilson on peace aims.
'I believe all of us are ready to pro-
long this war, as terrible as 1t is. until
we can get a clean peace" said the
leader Of tho opposition in the house Of
lords.
Lord Lansdowne added that the tfme
for obtaining such peace should not
be too long delayed ana that no op-
portunfty should be neglected to bring
It nearer.
Lord Lansdowne was replying to an
address presented by Earl Loreburn,
former lord high chancellor, and others
of his supporters including authors
and journalists

there was only one way of getting this
peace, and that was by forming a COM

the powers would hold themselves
bound to refer international disputes
to some kind Of international tribunal
No Room for Mi1itarism.
Lord Lansdowne asked II II would
not be true to add that If the cohesion
Of Germany could be obtained to such
pact it would mean the negation Of
Prussian mtlitarism. He said there
would be no room for Prussian mill
tartsm inside such q combination.
The speaker said he accepted whole
heartedly the suggestion Of Mr.. Lloyd
George that territorial questions should
be settled on the basis Of national self
determination.

imperial German chancellor, was dis

state to adopt this beautiful and prac-

was made in Columbia several other
counties and cities have taken up the
idea and now 1t is proposed that the
states memorial be useful building
instead of a monument.
A public building to be used as a
community center is becoming as
necessary in every county that is NOV

school building. The soldiers who lost
their lives in the war died for the well

for Germany as well as for the Bel
CLANS and others who suffered under
the Germans. But there Is to be no
mawdling sentimentality about IT,
Americas part in making the peace
terms Is going to be the same as her
part in winning the war, sincere
determination to see that equal and
exact Justice is done to all nations.
But that Is what the Germans don't
want. The abstract thing--humanity
meant nothing TO the Germans when
they thought they had chance to
win, and now that they are at the
mercy OF the allies It means only a
catch word with which they hope to
confodnl the big-hearted Americans
skIt las not been long since the Ger
mans we're dropping propaganda into
the American lines appealing without
logic to what they evidently believed
to be the ignorance OF the American
soldiers and belittling the theory Of
humanity. "A sample of such propa-
ganda las been sent by member Of
the 1l5th Field, Artillery to Nash
Vile paper. After making some sense
less scphistries about bravery and the
duty of an individual to heed only his
will and to disregard the leadership
0f officers, this piece OF propaganda
addressed to the American soldiers
asked: "What business is this war in
Europe to you, anyhow? You don't
want to annex anything do you? You
don't want to give up your life for the
abstract thing humanity"
The willingness of the American
soldier 10 give up his life for humanity
was the spirit the Germans couldn't
understand. They thought in their
own greedy way that all soldiers
fought only for material gain and that
al nations were seeking as Germany
was to rob their neighbor nations.
Now they hope by appealing to the
Americans love for 4ethe abstract
thing humanity" to soften the terms
that are going to be imposed upon
them. 4
TheT ennessee soldier who sent the
sample OF German propaganda spoke
for alrsof his 100000 comrades when
he answered the foolish question.
.'Our business over here is in the In
terest Of humanity" he said. I'VE
want to annex one thing, the kaiser's
crown for President Wilson. Our
Wills are our own, we joined that we
could assert them, that we could help
to crush to earth forever autocracy
and Prussianism."
Humanity meant nothing to the Ger
mans before the armistice was signed. |
but now their note writer's are appeal
ing to the American people in the
name OF humanity to feed them. Since
humanity means everything to Ameri-
ca tho Germans will be fed, especially
the women and children, but the per-
petrators of the most colossal crime
uf history must also feel the hand Of
justice in the name Of humanity.
