IN NO MANS LAND
BY Elizabeth Newport Hepburn.

All, when the bass drums sob
And when the bugIes sing.
Or when the twin screws tbrol,
And seas crash, echoing,
Then courage burns, atlarne,
And purpose steels the soul
All life is one brave game
With honor for the goMi
But when gray twilight falls
And no gay banners Hy,
When no clear bugle calls
And no star lights the sky,
When no hancf grips your hand
And no man dreams your need,
You grope in No Mans Land
And are alone indeed,
The night looms. still and stark
As all your day-dreams fade;
You stir, in that chill dark.
And know YOU are afraid
Then something in the night,
Some solaee in the air,
Some memory Of light
Illumines your despair.
Beyond far skies and seas
Beneath the tortured sod,
You sense iniinitieS,
And find your comrade-tIod,

An Impudent Proposition.

Il ct the Allied armies cease attacking

from Berlin not formally official. how

and we will withdraw our forces entirely
from Belgium and France No doubt Of
il. But how foolish il would be 10 favor
the impudent suggestion.
The German invaders are nov hcng
kicked ont of Belgium and France with
encouraging rapldity, despite resistance
that at times and IN places is desperate.
To permit of an orderly and undisturbed
retreat would be tremendous boon to
Germany II would enable the with
drawd of her armies the armies that
have wrought such havoc and been guilty
of such horrid brutaiities pea aceiully and
without the loss of single man. and Also
allow Of the withdrawal of all guns, mu
nitions. supplies and other war neces-
saries, thus efTecting great saving of
money.
That the request for a peaceful with
drawal will even be considered is not
probable Germany is being driven back
and there should be no let-up IN the
offensive operations Of the Allies If
Germany really desires the opportunity
of peaceful retirement from Belgium and

WHISkEY As 4 MEDICINE.

In the midst Of An epidemic which has
caused much depression of spirit there
is a note of cheer m the report from
Washington that the Prohibition leaders
in Congress are ~ reed that there is nothing
in the State laws to prohibit the dis
tr,butOn of whisky in military camp
as a preventive of or antidote for influenza.
But apparently these custodians Of
the moral as we'll aS the physical health
of the nation take no amount OF the
fact that there are many people through
out the country who regard liquor mocer-
ately used as n natural therapeutic agent
in the treatment Of the common ills that
flesh is heir 10.

against the so-cqlled Spanish malady

It is = historical fact that the estab-
lishment OF Prohibition in community
is followed by an alarming decline IN the
public health and i consequent increase
IN the number Of doctors and drug stores
To these 'old boys" consulting a doctor
and negotiation with drug clerk are
waste Of time and vexation to the
spirit. They are equipped by expert
ence in the compounding of their favorite
prescription, and some of them are so
particular TO have the ingredients Of such
quality and blend that they frequently
import the needed article that the palate

Some of them have even acquired the
lingo Of the profession and have become
experts in the art of "self-medication
They take a pardonable pride in fol-
lowing the old injunction, Physician,

The decision Of the Congressional
arbiters of taste and guardians of the

The Only Terms Of Armistice.

President Wilson, in his latest reply to
Germany, made public this morning, in
dulgcs in plain words, without the slightest
approach to camouflnee. II the Kaiser and
his personal clique, who pcrsistently as
sumo TO speak for the German people, fail
to comprehend the full import of the
Presidents communication. they will be
dull, indeed or amazingly perverse.
As to an armistice the President
plainly sets forth that such move IL for
the United States and allied governments
to determine, but that they should be left
in position to enforce any arrange
ments that may be entered into and TO
make renewal Of hostiGtics on the part
of Germany impossible In other words,
to guard positively against German
trickery Also. Germany is informed that
IN respect of an armistice, the military
advisers -Foch, Haig and Pershing OF
the allied governments would be asked 10
submit the necessary terms This IN
Sistence will be most distasteiul 10 the
Kaiser and his cronies, but they will have
TO submit to il or fight to defeat
The President also makes ii plain that
the government of the United States and
the governments of our Allies cannot trust
those who assume to speak Tor the German
people--that they cannot even recognize
the Kaiser and his crew as the rghttul
representatives of the German people.
Cannot trust the word of those who have
hitherto been the masters OF German
policy" are the stinging words IN which
this important element of the diplomatic
correspondence is conveyed. What a stern
arragnment of the German autocracy.
And yet IL is deserved, and if they are to
be dealt with, the demand will tic mot
peace negotiations but surrender.
The Presidents reply. therefore, is an
ultimatum The Kaiser and his military
advisers To whom alone the lnsolent head
of the Empire is inclined To lend an ear,
now know where they must get off
They must either surrender their self
assumed authority over the German
people. and entrtIst to real representa-
tives OF the German people the conduct
Of future negotiations or fight 70 the
bitter end
And that would mean Germany apso-
lutc and Illuminating defeat, unless
est opped hN unconditional surrender

PRESS COMMENT.
GERMANY'S HONOR.

Germany asks the President to be
careful Of her honor. Has she been care
full Of her own? Has she ever moved to
punish those blind leaders of hers that
have brought dishonor upon her? We
read that Captain Pcrsins threatens to
expose Admiral Won Tirpitz, latter the
war but this means only the admrals
blunders, not his crimes From what
German voice of authority, from what
public body, from what group Of citizens,
has there yet come one word in denuncia-
ton Of those mad rulers who wickcdly
brought on a needless war, and who have
stained its conduct by acts of lawless
barbarity which have made the name
German anathema throughout the whole
earth?
II is hard to talk of honor with nation
that as yet gives no sign Of repentance
for evil-doing or of desire to make
restitution We do not ask that all
Germans be required to chant Mise
rcre in unison, or march out To surren-
der with ropes around their necks; but
we do feel that it is impossible to listen
with patience To people alleging its
honor. while it has not taken the first
step to put itself in truly honorable light,
or to show that its honor today is any
thing different from what it was year
ago when IT visibly ''rooted IN dishonor
stood
As TO the general effect of the Ger
man note, it will surely be taken rs prov
ing that Germany is extremely, even dos-
perately anxious for peace She would
like to make an offer of surrender, but
doesn't know how Her official approach
es are awkward to q degree Her grace
is what Disracli would call Bnotian. But
she is getting on A II that she needs is
little simple instruction by good
schooImaster what to do next, and we
have no doubt that she will soon get this
from President Wilson. New York Even

Against the German Request.

II Is clearly apparent that public sents-
ment in England and France, in civilian
as well as military circles, is positively
hostile to making any of the CONCESSIONS
to Germany asked for In her latest note
to the government at Washington The
voice of the English and French people is
against an armstice and for a continuation
of the war until ended by Germany's un-
conditional surrender.
The London Times is emphatic in
giving expression to this sentiment. ''On
its face the document is insincere, even
untruthful. it says. The very thing the
enemy wishes is that President Wilson
and the allied governments weigh its
every phase, that they waste time in dis
cussing it's subtleties and its niceties and
interpretations. The only matter Of i'm
mediate concern is whether Germany does
not intend to ask for and accept an
aTmistice in accordance with the terms
announced by President Wilson"
And thus fade Germanys hope of
beng able to get out of the war without
a surrender The German government is
on the horns of a serious dilemma. AL
hope of victory has departed, and sur
render would in all probability lead TO
revolution. An easy withdrawal from the
war might pacify the German people. But
that way is not to be opened Germany
must face the music" and endure all the
consequences of her perfdy and folly in
forcing the war upon Europe, as we'll as
just punishment for the horrible atrocities
committed by her army and her undersea
navy during the long supremacy Of Ger
man arms, now happily at An end.
