FEAR MUST BRING

SAYS SFl. LEWIS

Prospects Of peace are ended until
Germany is beaten to the point where
she yields to the instincts of hu-
manity," said Senator James Hamilton
Lewis OF Illinois today in a speech
in the United States Senate.
THE democracy implanted by Lin
coin and advanced by Wilson is but
the defining OF natures purpose to
endow her mankind with equality of
opportunity" he continued, Ito assure
the freedom of man in all and to
make sure full liberty to govern
ones self. This is the democracy
heralded by jefferson, established by
Lincoln, and now forwarded by Will
son.
The promise OF Wilson to make
the world safe for democracy is no
threat to mako the world take de-
mocracy. 1t is but the assurance OF
the effort TO give to the world the
chance to take democracy"
Senator Lewis referred to the sink
ing OF tho Tuscania as the act OF an
assassin.
whatever prospect there was held
out of peace in the German offer, ~
now shown to have been a deception
and a ruse TO murder" the Senator
said. at ends forever the prospect
OF a peace until Germany is beaten
to where she yields to the instincts
of humanity through fear and yields
peace and gives justice through be-
ing crushed to where she is power
less for treachery and forced by help
lessness to seek the mercy OF man
kind"

STORE TO GIVE THRIFT
STAMPS FOR CHANGE

Another local business house has to-
day advanced an idea to aid the Gov
eminent in the sale of war savings
and thrift stamps.
Hecht & Co. Is urging its Gus
toners. to accept war savings or thrift
stamps as change or part change, ac-
cordinE to the amount left over from
purchases. The idea. was originated
by Harold H. Levi, the manager. and
worked out by Mrs. S. McLarsn, vel
fare worker for the company.
All salesmen and saleswlomen have
been instructed in the need for them
to sell war savings and thrift stamps.
which means that there are scores Of
workers in this one store for Mr.. CAL
lahan's campaign.
In addition to the Change" sales
two booths are located at prominent
points in the store where the stamps
may be purchased in any quantities.

FOURTH TRIAL OF CASE
WINS $50 VERDICT

A jury in Justice McCoy's court to-
day rendered a verdict against Mary
McGarter in favor OF E. NJ. Hewlett.
for $50 in q suit to recover $500 on a
contingent fee agreement made with
Hewlett, who is q member OF the bar.
This was the fourth trial OF the case.
1t was defended on the ground that
shortly after the agreement was
signed Miss McGsrter attempted to
discharge her attorney, without cause,
but that he insisted on his right I'M
der the contract to continue as her at
torney.
The plaintiff was represented by At
torney Joseph H. Stewart, and the
defendant by Attorneys Wilton J.

Every effort is made to dispose OF

some weIl-known woman sells these

Advertising space in the news
papers is scarce. The advertiser OF
England seeks the newspaper instead
OF the newspaper seeking the adver-
tiser. Merchants were urged to give
UP their regular advertising space
to the propaganda for war bonds and
war savings certificates. Many OF
them gave blocks OF their space to
war bond ads.
The greatest thing OF all which
has come to England in this war Is
that all classes have learned that
