The object of this war is to deliver the free
peoples of the world from the menace and
the actual power of a vast military establish
ment controlled by an irresponsible govern
ment which, having secretly planned to dom
mate the world. proceeded to carry the plan
out without regard either to the sacred obi
cations of treaty or the long established
practices and long cherished principles OF in
ternatiOnal action and honor which chose it's
own time for the war; delivered its blow
either of law or of mercy swept a whole con-
tinent within the tide OF blood-not the blood
of soldiers only, but the blood of innocent
women and children also and of the helpless
poor; and now stands baked but not defeat
ed the enemy of four-fifths of the world. =

WOOD IS

CBy United Press.

Paris, March 8. (By MaiD .-Ameri'
can soldiers have had some hard
things to say about French fire
wood during the now declining win
ter 1t has even been suggested
that wood merchants have soaked
their production in water for the
same purpose a dishonest grocer puts
sand in suger. Wood, in France, is
sold by weight. The following truej
tale comes from an American officer.
A company of American soldiers on
the march had "billeted" for the
night in a small country village.
At marching time next morning, a
sergeant was detailed to stay behind
and see for the benefit of the vii
layers, that everything remained 20.
K" The sergeant finally saw an
American trooper come out Of a
door and hurry to join his unit,
Hey! did you put out that fire
in there?" the sergeant yelled.
Should say l did," the soldier re-
sponded as he ran. 81 put some Of
that French wood on it." All of
which was satisfactory explanation
for the sergeant and the company re-
sumed the march.
