LIEUT.. J. FOREST KIMBALL
 on November 4, J. Forrest Kimbal, a Birmingham boy, will have been in for eign service for a year. He enlisted in August, 1917, in the aviation department of the United States army, and was pro- noted to sergeant major before leaving this country. Report comes from France that he is to receive commission as second lieutenant.
 Many of the young people will remem- Der Forrest Kimball and will be glad to hear of his promotion. He was very prominent in Epworth League, Sunday school and all kinds of church work When he enlisted he held am important position with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company.
 If Forrest Kimball could send all Of his friends a personal message it would be to buy Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds and back up him and his comrades, who are doing their best to bring the war to a close.

 Germany agreed to evacuate conquered territory and asked for a discussion as to how that evacuation might be effected, the entire country apparently thought that the President, in making reply, would show weaknesS-would, at least temporarily, sheath the sword.
 The White House was literally inun- dated with telegrams of protest from every state of the union. These tele- grams cried out for the destruction of Germany and it's autocracy. Every news paper in the United States breathed sin- liar sentiments There was everywhere insistence that the battle be continued and pressed until Germany had been made to suffer as Belgium and France have suffered.
 Forgive thy enemies,' was held in contempt and the general demand was "a tooth for tooth, and an eye for an eye" Tn the Senate of the United States, quiet and dignified spokesmen breathed fire. Senator Meyers delivered one of the most revolutionary speeches heard in recent years, and Senator Reed predicted that terms of peace would be written only in the smoke of ruined Germany. But these speeches did nor express the feeling of the Senators as that unprecedented forgetfulness of in herent dignity which permitted them to applaud when the nature of the Presi- dents reply was announced.
 THE FRUSTRATED TRICK
 If Germanys agreement to evacuate was born of it's desire to check the hasty transportation of troops across the Atlantic, or to defeat the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign. or to inspire to renewed action the small pactfist ele- ment in the United States, it's game was in every respect played to no result.
 Germany, even before the President or fered conditions which 1t could not ac- cept in national honor, knew that Amer tea was aroused-that the spirit of Amer ica was a spirit of war, that America was in the game to the bitter end, and that America, at that end, must tri- umph The people in voice, through the press, and through their representatives in Congress, spoke informally but ac- .curateIy before the President spoke.
 There was an idea that Germany was insincere, that it offered to evacuate for diplomacys sake. For Germany deliv- cred it's reply not to the President oi the United States. but to the four winds

of heaven. As a matter of fact, the President. when informed by the Asso- ciated Press that Germany had ac- cepted his terms,' was as much sur prised as the people of Washington when at practically the same time. they read the news in an extra on the streets.
 But the game was played to no pur- pose. It simply stimulated the people to renew their demands. It strengthened the arm of the President.

German armies evacuate allied territory under terms to be expressed by General Foch; the second, that German autoc- racy be overthrown. In this connection The Age-Herald learns authoritatively that the United States will not be sat isfied should the Kaiser abdcate in favor of his first born.
 NThe situation now Is this: German must either surrender on terms which in honor it cannot accept, or must con- tinue a hopeless fight even to the mis- erable end. The great, epochal result of the war, it is definitely established will be the characterization of the Ger man et11nire

HOW WILSON REPLIED

Just as the people grew suspicious or the German acceptance" so the Presl- dent must have grown. And yet his acknowledgement of the German reply as a sincere reply was so fulsome that his expression of that acknowledgement might have contained a bit of irony.
 "The unqualified acceptance by thc present German government, the Presl- dent said, and large majority of the Reichstag of the terms laid down by the President of the United States justifies the President in making frank and di- rect statement of his decision"
 That there was not an unqualified ac- ceptance is proved in the fact that the President refused further to talk and in- sisted on unacceptable terms to be ad- ministered by military authorities. II is to be noted, also, that whereas every body believes the Kaiser still holds the reins, the President said, the present German government" as if the present was not as always, the old autocrauc. with power to disturb the peace of tho world.

THE BATTLE CONTINUES

The prevailing idea in Washingtonton is that the war will be continued with increased and increasing fury. It is also the opinion in best informed cir cles that Germany, while wounded, IS not beaten. Strategists of this country affirm that Germany, even though harassed on every side, is making a mas terful retreat-with the exception of that of General Lee out of Pennsylvania, as masterful as the world has ever wit messed It is this schools prediction that during the process of retreat, Germany will not be crushed, but enabled, in the long run to reform its lines, and possibly launch a counter-attaclz. The success or the retreat is pointed out as indication that German morale is good, that ooe- dience to orders on the part or soldiers Is in every way observed.
 Sir Eric Geddes, head of the British navy, has just issued from New York a prediction that Germany, on an en- larged scale, will repew submarine war fare It is everywhere regarded as prob able, practically certain, that the forces of autocratic power and modern clvlll- zation are about to settle down to tae grim death struggle. Germany has heard it's death sentence and for that very req son will resist until overpowered.

England's titled men and women are
in this war to win, and are actuated
by the same motives and feelings as
the humblest Tommy. The nOblemen
of England have as whole gone into
the army or navy and have proved
their courage and sacrifice as evil
denced in the days citations and casu-
atty lists. The women are also doing
their bit. Few of England's prominent
women are not enrolled and actively

service. One is working in munition

FACTS NOT GIVEN
TO GERMAN PEOPLE.

Up to the last moment England
even held out until noon Of the 4th Of
August, 1914, when the German army
had already swept like torrent over
the boundaries Of the neighbOring cOun-
tries on every side) the rulers, minis
tiers and diplomats Of England. Russia,
France and Serbia did oil that lay
within human power, even to the ut
most Self-abnegatiOn, in order to pre-
serve peace for the world. This fact
Is clearly manifest; the documents con-
corning it set 1t forth in black and
white to the gaze of the world. They
are acknowledged as authentic by the
German government. but they are nat
uraily withheld from the German peO-
pie. No one wished to attack US, either
then or at any later time. All that Aus
tria could ask Of Serbia with even the
slightest sembance of justice was free
Iy granted.
Thus from the very beginning Of the
war the sympathy of the entire world
belonged properly to our neighbOrs
who had been so wantOnly attacked.

Three years have passed since the

into Il sea of blood and tears.
Trained from childhood TO be sol

views of the junker and officer caste,
dreaming of the laurels Of the con
querOr as the highest ideal, counSe!ed
by generals, befriended by war con
tractors, and even with Il financial In
tercSt in their protiteering, he has since
1905 Systematically paved the way tor
the war. He desired this war he per
mitted the systematic cult of war in
Germany by the Pan-GermaniStS, and
he has encouraged 1t. He supported
and fOmented the almost daily quar-
rcls of the other powers through the
Pan-German press by his int1amma-
tory speeches. Last of all he affixed his
signature to the various declarations of
war he is fully and entirely RESPONSE
BILE for them.
For nine years the diplomacy of our
neighbOrS, consistently anxious for
peace, succeeded in averting this dis
aSter from the world. This was the
policy which was falsely presented to
your ignorance rs the Isolation
policy" in reality, a peace policy In
which Germany was always most
heartily invited to participate. Ger
many was not isolated, but the German
government, and in its wake the Aus

iciously Withdrew from the circle OF
civilized nations, as criminals from hu
man social circles.
But not only the diplomatic circles
of foreign states, but also German men
Of insight and lofty ideals have placed
themselves firmly in opposition TO the
emperor's senseIess and extravaeant
lust for war, in spite Of his wrath, and
have sacrificed their positions rather
than their convictions. This was true
In the case OF the president of the
ReichSbank, Doctor Koch, and even OF
the emperOr's brother. Prince Henry OF
Prussia. On the 31St Of July, 1914, he
urged the emperor to deSist from the
war. and when he failed in his attempt
he flung at the emperOr's feet his com
mission as grand admiral and com
mander in chief of the German navy.
