THE PEACE OUR SOLDIERS

newspaper published by the soldiers
Of the American expeditionary forces
in France, says editorially about the
enemy peace offensive:
LET the weak hearted. who are
dreaming of compromise; let the
pacifists who are talking a peace by
agreement; let the sideliners who
have had enough Of war; let the Sc
cretly inclined pro-Germans who
think this war should end without a
decision-let them one and all know
once and for all that for the Amerl-
can expeditionary forces there is no
such word as peace with the Huns
unbeaten. The man who talks OF
peace today. except through victory
is traitor
The enemy peace offensive is lil,en-
ed to the action of German machine
gun crews in the Vesle fighting, when
they fought and killed Americans UNI
til III were Yurrounded, then shout

The mothers of the American sol
diers in France want the same peace
their sons demand. All the courage
Of the ancient Spartan mother is in
the hearts of the women of America.
The object of the fourth Liberty
loan is to bring that peace-a just
peace, righteous peace, an Amerl-
can peace.

GERMANY MUST YIELD.

On last Monday President Wilson
through Secretary of State Robert
Lansing, made reply to the peace
proposals of the German government
;n a note which is universally COM
mented upon as being a masterpiece
If diplomacy, and which will M
doubtedly go down in history as &C
of the greatest state papers OF one OF
the greatest of American presidents.
Tn the note President Wilson de-
clares that the process Of evacuation
and the conditions Of an armistice are
matters which must be left to the
Indictment and advice of the military
,dv;sers of the government of the
tinted States and the Allied govern
n,ents. and that satisfactory guaran-
zoos and safeguards must be given
for the maintenance of the present
military supremacy OF the armies OF
Of the United States and the Allies
i, the field. That the Allies will not
consent to an armistice so long as the
armed forces Of Germany continue
the illieal and inhuman practices
which they still persist in.
The note calls attention to the
language used by the President in his
Mount VRon speech of July 4 last
in which said: "The destruction
that can Eparately, secretly and OF
it's single choice, disturb the peace OF
the world: or if it cannot be present.
W. DESTROYED, at least its reduction to
..;.t,,al imuotency." The note points
ont that the power which has hither-
ia controlled Germany is Of the sort
described and that the process oil
neace. if peace is to come, will de-
mend upon the defniteness and the
satisfactory guarantees which can pc
a;ven in this fundamental matter.
The emphatic demand OF the Pres
;dent to what virtually amounts to
the unconditional surrender OF the
Tantonic &barbai will unques..
+;onahly meet with the approval OF
al Of the nations with which Ameri-
70 is allied in this great war, as we'll
az Of the people of this country, IN
whose name the President speaks.
German autocracy started out TO
conouer and subjugate the worlf.
In This she has failed most hopeless
~ II is but reasonable to suppose,
therefore. that the nations which shs
tr;aa to enslave will impose condl-
t;ans uoon her which will make re-
cnrrence of the great disaster which
she ruthlessly forced upon the wofld

FIues and Chimneys.

4, State Fire Marshall Campbell urges
Fsthe people Of Louisiana to see that
all fiues are in proper condition be-
fore building the first fire of the sea-

fire during the first cool weather

Another thing that he desires to
call especial attention to at this time
us the placing of metal beneath
stoves and heaters. thereby reducing
the hazard of the flooring getting too

The fire marshall feels that if he can
obtain the cooperation of the people
