WON'T STAND FOR PEACE OF
VIOLENCE
Austrian Newspaper States COndi-
tiOns in Remarkably Frank
and Convincing Manner,

That remarkably Outspoken pa
per. the Vienna Arbeiter Zeitung
commenting on the western drive
makes no bones about saying that
the game is up and that the central
powers might just as well make
peace on the best terms they can
get. 1t remarks:
"Do not be deceived. Germany's
victories will never force the enten.
te to accept a peace of violence. II
the Germans could take Calais and
Paris. and even force France and
Italy to capitulate. then there would
remain the English, safe in their
island. and America, protected by
the ocean.
They can always continue the
war by sea. and the greatest vic
tory on land cannot impose peace
OF force on American and England.
The Arbeiter Zeitung recognizes
quite clearly that the war by sea-
means a war OF economic retalia-
ton, because, ii says. America and
England between them control the
worlds supply OF raw materials
most vital to the economic expan-
sion OF the central empires. Not
ony so, but the harbors and cOaling
stations OF the world are for all in
tent and purposes controlled by
these two great powers.
While the Arbeiter Zeitung per-
haps may he discounted. as a So
cialist paper, we find staid old con-
servative Aunty Voss-as the Ber-
liners call the Vossiche Zeitung-
candidly admitting the same thing.
Captain Tagert. the widely known
naval expert. thus writes in Aunty's
columns:
England has closed the gates of
the North Sea. From bases dom
mating all the sea routes, her crui-
sers swept the sea free OF enemy
ships. Invisible. secure against sud
den invasion. and yet ready at any
moment to strike a blow with over
whelming superiority, the English
high sea fleets lay in waiting in
their ports. Under their protec-
tion the English sea trade follows
the old profitable roads.
"lf England's allies collapsed
militarily and economically. England
could continue the war as a pure
naval war with almost the whole
tonnage Of the world at her disp0-
sal. If she were to succeed at the
conclusion OF peace in forcing or
persuading the central powers to
limit their naval armaments, Eng
lands position OF predominance in
in Europe would be as secure in the
future as in the past. The ecOnOm-
ic harvest of the war could then be
gathered in without interference
That was the situation which forced
us TO take the decisive struggle
against British sea power
AT the moment we could not
produce a decision by throwing in
our high sea forces. Even after a
successful battle. our fleet, without
any bases. could neither blockade
England nor keep the ocean open
for our own sea trade. T. Literary

THOSE WHO CAN GET WOOD

Fuel Administration Recommends
Layin gin Supply Of Wood for

That every citizen Of Oklahoma
who is in reach OF wood supply
ought to make preparations this
ter and release as much coal as pos
sible. is the belief Of p. A. Norris.
Federal Food Administrator for Ok
lahOma. There is plenty of coal in
the State, bpt there are not enough
cars to haul it or enough lOcomO-
tives to pull it, We must use wood
or else there will be a fuel shortage
probably as great as last winter.
IL know some people have not
equipped their homes for burning
wood" says Mr.. Norris. but il will
take little effort to provide means. "
This administration does not ad-
wise burning wood when it must be
transported my rail. There are hun
dreds OF towns near enough timber
however. for wood to be hauled di-
rect from the forest To the cOnsum-
er. The citizens OF these towns owe
it to their Government a, this time
to burn this wood.
"In the last year or two coal has
been cheaper than wood. With the
increased cost OF coal and the in
creased freight rate in effect. wood
this fall and winter promises TO be
as cheap as coal, II not cheaper.
II want to appeal TO every family

a genuine offer of peace, and until

in unconditional surrender should
any attention be paid to their peace

peace talk should not in any manner

no little difficulty in handling our
ordinary run of business. We trust
that in the future we will be able
to expedite job printing in a more
satisfactory manner. AS stated be-
fore, we have no force other than
the lessees of the plant, and there
has been a delay that has been quite
unavoidable in turning out all work.

ty. We imagine that many people

this industrial edition. The edition
is the work of Mr.. Arthur Fields,
who has had many years experience
in this line of business, assisted by
Mr.. K. F. Hagan. This is the first
edition of its kind ever issued in
this county, and we take pleasure
in saying that with the exception of
a very few firms, the entire business
interests of Bamberg county are rep
resented. To the merchants and
business men who have contributed

tend our sincere thanks. The coun-
ty will secure wide publicity through

ton will be well worth preserving

tention to secure the services of an

ton, but We found it quite impos-

Put every dollar that you a. pos
sibly spare in liberty bonds, the
safest and best investment in the
world today. Lands and houses de-
preciate in value, but liberty bonds
are good as long as the United States
treasury stands. America is the
richest country in the world and hun
dreds of billions Of dollars in re-
sources are behind every bond that
you buy. The government is now
experiencing the most critical mo-
ment in the history of the war. If
it is backed by the billions of dollars
that it takes to carry on the most
intensive and enormous war cam
paign ever attempted, victory is GER
tainly ours. If the government Is
cramped for money, it weakens our
offensive just that much. Don't i'm
agine that because you are not
wealthy you cannot afford to buy
bonds. A fifty dollar bond %purchas-
ed at a sacrifice is more than a mil
lion dollar bond bought with money
not needed. The very fact that you
are willing to put your savings into
bonds is evidence of your whole
hearted support of the president and
the government, and that is worth
as much and perhaps more than your
fifty dollars. Bamberg's share in
this loan is truly enormous, about
three hundred and seventy thous-
and dollars, but this apportionment
was based on bank deposits. The
money is here, and the government
needs it. Our people have been
blessed with large crops this year
and unprecedented prices. 1t is to
be borne in mind that the fine price
of cotton today is due to the war,
and the profits, therefore, may we'll
be classed as war profits. This be-
ing true, it is nothing but right that
a large part of these profits should
be loaned to the government to
prosecute the war which caused the
profits. The farmers today are the

most prosperous people in the coun-
try. 1t is truly the day Of the farm
er. We rejoice that this is true, and
that they have at last come into
their own. We trust now, that they
will not fail to do their part, as
they have always done in the past,
to the extent of their ability. Every
one else, as well, must perform his
and her duty in this campaign, if the
county is to meet with the success
which has been ours in the past.

For Instance, say u writer In Good

an exceptionally good way TO finish the
