til she has seen written on her own
fields and on the walls Of her own
cities the definition of the word WAR,
we cannot and will not be led to
lower our arms by any German cry
of "kamerad" or peace!
AS a result of what we have &C
complished in sending our men
abroad, all the hopes Of Germany
have crumbled into dust. Great bat
ties will be fought before the snow
flies. hundreds Of thousands OF men
will be killed, wounded and captured,
the line Of conflict will sway to and
fro.
But one thing is sure, the separa-
ton of the allied forces into two ar
mics, the capture by Germany OF the
channel ports, and the capture and
footing Of Paris, which every German
thought was sure to come, in the lat

But let us send this word across
the Atlantic to the German people:

in a year we will send twice that
number. We will furnish food and
ammunitions to our allies. We are
going to win, and let you hear the
tramp of American feet in the streets
of Berlin. Your last chance is gone.
But even If you are able to fool Italy,
to crush France and drive the Eng
lish soldiers off the continent into the
ocean, even if there was not a single

TO USE ELEPHANTS
in RECONSTRUCTION WORK
AFTER THE WAR

Pittsburg, Aug. 20 John Ring
ling, circns owner. has determined to
propose to the Allied governments
that African elephants be tanned and
used in the reconstruction of France
after the war.
Because gun and shell fire at the
battle fronts are slaughtering mules
and horses by the tens Of thousands,
Mr.. Ringing and Edmond Laplea, OF
the University Of Lovain, Belgium,
met in conference here the other day
and discussed plans for using the
heretofore African elephant in recon
struction work in Europe.
The man agreed that the loss Of
horses and mules could not be re
placed for many years, and, since
African elephants may be found in
vast numbers, and be tanned easily
both felt positive that the Allies would
assist in the shipment of the biz
beasts. 49, -'ass'-

THE KIND OF PEACE WE WANT
cleveland, Ohio, Press)

NSAS'~ ANhAB oAASt AN6pJ
The remarks made before the
House Committee on Military Affairs
by Secretary of War Baker and Chief
of Staff March have started a great
deal of talk about peace again.
We have been in this war less than
a year ana half and have almost for
gotten what it was like in times of
peace.
We cannot imagine what it will be
when peace returns.
But we have very clear idea now
of what war means, and we didn't
have before.
Peace is sunshiny day, with the
flowers blooming along the little
stream, lambs kiting around in the
meadow, children playing in the
shade, while father works in the field
and mother sits on the porch patch.

War means the background Of the
picture unchanged, but the lambs are
knocked in the head, the children and
perhaps their grandfather lie mur.

unless one of them is a girl, in which
case she is struggling in the arms Of
a beast in the German field-gray uni
form. The household pet, the dog
lies on the path cut in two by a
sword Against the fence lies thl
mutilated body Of the husband and
the father. Inside the house all that
is of value is packed up ready to send
back to Germany-it may be to Der
lin--but perhaps it is Dresden OF
Munich.
The happy mother of few hours
ago now begs for death at the hands
of a German officer, while he laughs
and shakes his head
That is war.
That is-it's war waged by the Ger
mans.
It is the war we will see in thi
country unless this present war il
won and the proper peace comes as
result.
Two years ago we had a right Il

were set apart, that if we kept silent
If we did not express our feelings
Germany would let us 60 by ur

We now know that If we had KEEP
silent, if we had allowed France to

We now know that we were in tn
eyes of the kaiser and his associate
like hogs in the pens Of the stoc1

nations over the chute one by on
cutting the throat of each as
passed, and when the time came "
