Hermies, taking number of pris-
oners and machine guns.

material which has fallen into our
possession, together with large
quantities OF other war material,

Waning at Rapid Rate

German regiments are said to
have been wiped out entirely.
1t is also stated that the men
OF the German class OF 1919 are
rapidly disappearing and those
OF the 1920 class must be drawn
on to fill gaps.

THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
By Herbert Quick

We should have had to accept muir.
der a. thing against which we could
not defend ourselves
We should have allowed this new
horror to become a part OF all future
wars. and have been responsible for
its incorporation into international
law.
We should have proved that because
the FIRE which burns up our farms
usefulness is beyond the horizon. we
would submit TO the kindling Of IL.
We might have accepted the sew
enty cents for wheat and the six cents
for cotton. but we could not have done
il merely because we were command
ed TO do H. by so doing We should
have accepted degradation. We should
have begun, after winning our free
dom in our own revolution and estab-
fishing a union on the foundation OF
liberty in the blood and tears OF our
war between the states, TO knuckle
under TO autocracy' We should have
basely yielded up our birthright AZ
Americans.
Such a thought is intolerable. Peace
at such a price would not be peace.
but only a preparation for future
revolt against subjugation. Better
any sort of war; better war forever,
than that
Whenever the time comes for new
sacrifices. let US remember that We
fight. not for our liberties tomorrow
or next year or twenty years from
now, but for our freedom today. Not
for the right to live in the future. but
for the right TO make living this
year.
German oppression had begun to
pinch us before we entered the war.
II we had not declared war. but had
accepted the conditions Of life ordered
for us by the kaiser, we should today
be a poverty -stricken people. Our fac
tories would be shut down, our work.
men unemployed. our people starving.
our farmers ruined by the poverty of
those for whose consumption they
grow their crops. There is loss and
sacrifice In the war. but there would
have been far more OF loss and sacri-
fee in accepting the German terms.
We should have lost more In money
than we have spent in the war, but
we should have lost something fk.rl
more precious. We should have lsooe
our souls. ii

What the Imperial German govern
ment offered the farmers OF America
in its ruthless submarine warfare was
not the loss OF profits. but slavery to

posed to make US slaves by numbering

market by all the laws of civilized war.
fare, commerce under a neutral flag
was free from any hindrance except
the legal interference justified by war.
But the Germans not only stopped
merchant vessels. they sank them.
Sank them without warning. without
trace-the most devilish thing war
has seen since the sayages scalped our
ancestors and threw screaming babies
into the flames OF burning osbins,
The German plan OF sinking mer-
chant vessels without trace ia based
on he murderer's maxim that
dead men tell no tales" II was exc
cuted by the massacre OF men, wom-
en- and children, who. having com
mitted themselves TO small boats in
the open sea after their ships were
torpedoed, were mercilessly raked
with gunfre, and exterminated TO the
last unprotected, unpitied soul These
are the murders that stain the hands
of the kaiser. his advisers and min
ions. These outrages were per
petrated on neutral vessels; when all
that civilized warfare gave the Ger
mans a right to do even with the mer-
chant vessel under hostile flag. was
70 stop II at sea and make IL a prize
OF war.
To kill the civilians on board. even
under a hostile flag. was nothing but
unmitigated murder. And these muir
ders were committed in order that we
might be enslaved! Having the right
to take the sea with his feet. but be-
ing afraid TO do so for fear he might
lose it. and being unable by fair
means to stop the selling of our pro-
ducts TO his enemies, the kaiser de
clared that he would do II by the foul
est methods ever resorted to in war.
He declared the sea closed, and that
he would keep II closed, not by war,
but by murder.
To have submitted would have
cost us dear In prosperity: but that
would have been the least OF our
loss
We should have had 10 grovel before
the German government.

SPA. belgium. Tuesday. Dec. 3.-(By
more Interesting spot along the Ger
man border to-day than this famous
town. In which the international armis-
tico commission is holding conferences
amidst a dramatic setting. which. were
i. seen on the stage. would be recorded
as a masterpiece Of the historic art.
Iiurc, In the former seat OF great Ger.
man headquarters, representatives o.
the United States. Great Britain.
Franco and Germany are meeting dali!
with the utmost diplomatic formalit!
and dealing with the problems arisinS
from the Teutonic capitulation.
The commission began its sittings
about three weeks ago. At that time
the enemy was still occupying Spa.
Since then long lines Of hurrying and
disqrganizcd German traffic troops have
sped eastward through the waterins
place. There arc now something NOR"
than a hundred German officers and
men in the place. attached TO General
Won Wintereldt. who is representing
the German government. These men
came 10 Spa in civilian clothes and un-
der orders Of the republican soldiers,
and rrrkmen's council. but donncd uni
forms on their arrival. Among the ca
rente representatives, are Major Gencrai
Charles D. Rhodes and staff. for tho
United States; Major General Sir Rich
ard c. Haking and staff. for Great ErI-
tain, and General Nudant and staff. for
France. ..
The sittingS begin at 10 o'clock daily.
Prior to that hour the German dele
gates take their places AT a huge table
AID receive the allied officers standing.
The latter walk silently to their chairs.
where each delegate bows profoundly to
the man opposite before sitting down,
There is no word Of greeting and no
pleasantries arc exchanged and the bus
mess Of tho day is conducted through
out with the same grim precision. Just
what problems are under consideration.
Of course, is not matter for journals
tic discussion, but things are reported
to be running smoothly.
