Too Thankful to Be Noisy
Eating places served Thanksg living
dinners to many whom the holiday
found stranded in the city, but even in
the Lobster Palace belt there was lit
tie of the wild hilarity of former cele-
hrahons. People ate and departed with
the air Of being much too thankful to
be noisy.
Broadway's pulse quickened after
nightfall Theatres hung out "S. r. o."
signs from one end of the island to the
other, and cafes and restaurants were
crowded But even then, the solemnity
of the day persisted, and the drizzle
which began late in the afternoon served
to dampen, though not extinguish, the
celebrations even in the roaring
Forties."
London and Paris Observe Day
On the other side of the Atlantic
Thanksgiving Day was observed not
only by the fighting men but by the
people of England and France. A
hitherto purely American festival be-
came an international holiday.
Crews of $50 American warships in
British waters were guests Of men OF
the British fleet In London turkey
and hxin's were served at the Eagle
Hut, and 400 sailors were hosts to 400
Americans in Albert Hall. There was
also a football game between teams of
sailors at Chelsea
A Thanksgiving luncheon was served
at the American Club in Paris, at
which Andre Tardieu. French High
Commissioner to the United States,
spoke Impressive services were also
held at the Madeleine under the au-
spices of the Knights Of Columbus, in
which the Archbishops of Cambria,
Paris and Rheims, the Bishops of
Amiens, Chalons and Beauvais and
other notables participated.

ANOTHER LIBERTY LOAN com.
ING,

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
has announced that, no matter what
the results of the pending overtures
for peace may be, there will be an
other Liberty loan. To use his ex-
preston, We are going to have to
finance peace for a while just as we
have had to finance war
There are over 100000 United
States soldiers abroad. If we trans
port these men back to the United
States at the rate Of 300 900 a month,
it will be over half year before they
are all returned. Our army, therefore,
must be maintained, victualed, and
clothed for many months after peace
is an actually.
The American people, therefore,
having supported the Liberty loan
with a patriotism that future histor-
ians will love to extol, will have an OPP
portunity to show the same patriotism
in financing the just and conclusive
victorious peace whenever it comes.
Not for a moment, however, is the
Treasury acting On any assumption
that peace is to coce soon. Until
peace is actually assured the attitude
of the treasury and the attitude Of the
whole United States Government is for
the most VIGOROUS prosecution of the
war, and the motto of force against
Germany without stint or limit will be
acted up to until peace is an absolute
accomplished fact.
One more Liberty loan, at least, is
certain. The fourth loan was popU-
larly called the Fighting Loan; the
next loan may be fighting loan, too,
or it may be a peace loan. Whatever
the conditions, the loan must be pre-
pared for and it's success rendered GER
tain and absolute. Begin now to pre-
pare to support it.

have speculative value is flattering
in the extreme; they have no value at
all, except in the hands of unscrup-
ulous people, who trade them for
money or Liberty bonds to ignorant
investors.
Some of the get-rich-quick schem-
ers propose not to trade their gold
brick stock for Liberty bonds but to
lend their clients money to buy their
stock. taking Liberty bonds as secur-
ity This is camoufiage-only thin
ly disguised emthod of securing Lib
erty bonds for worthless or near
worthless stock.
Every holder of Liberty bond be-
fore he disposes of it, and especially
before he trades it for stocks or other
bonds. should consult a bank. Much
money will be thereby saved to the
owners of Liberty bonds and the f.
nances of the American people be bet
ter conserved.

NO NEGOTIATED PEACE

1t would be cruel wrong-an act
of tTeachery-to the, brave millions
who have given their blood in the
cause of national justice if, now that
the scale is turning in our favor, we
should permit the German militarist
to bargain with us for peace which
they would turn into victory. There
is but one phrase, Grants phrase,
which fits this case. Unconditional
Surrender" should be our slogan
We have many pacifsts, many ten
der-hearted folk who having dwelt
afar from the scene of strife are
ready to pity "The Poor German peo-
ple'' hut these sentimentalists should
remember-they should be made to
emember-that the German people
have along been behEnd the military
machine. without doubt a vast ma
jority of German citizens have been
for conquest, for frightfulness and for
memorable world dominion They
must be made to pay the penalties OF
such monstrous dreams They must
be held accountable together with the
rulers who, after all, have been rid
ing high on the shoulders of war
mad mob.
We should make it so costly for
the German empire that not only will
she be deferred from attempting an
other war Of conquest but that all
other nations will be instructed for
hundred years against any similar de-
sire to dominate the world. Unless we
do this our brave boys have died in
vain. So far as we Americans can
influence the result fthe war we
must stand like a rock against a
negotiated civil peace.

HOLD YOURY LIBERTY BONDS

Next to the imperative duty of Am
erican citizens to support the Liber.
ty loan is their duty to hold their
Liberty bonds. 1t is not full service
to the country to purchase Liberty
bonds and then throw them upon the
market, thus putting upon others the
real burden of financing the war I'm
less the necessity for dispensing Of
them is very great, every owner of
a Liberty bond should hold fast to 1t.
Holding onto ones bond means
that one has not only lent SO much
money to his Government but also that
he is not spending that money for
goods, labor, and transportation need
ed by the nation in the prosecution of
the war, and is thus leaving the re-
sources of the country more freely at
the disposal of the Government as
well as giving it financial backing
This is Double service
Secretary Baker says that the wide
distribution of the Liberty bonds
among the mass Of the American
people makes our Liberty loans the
soundest national financing in history.
1t is good thing for every Liberty
bond holder to be creditor of his or
her Government, and it is a good
thing for the Nation for its obligations
to be widely scattered amongst its
citizens and not eougested into the
hands of the rich. 1t is most hope-
full thing for the United States that
the best investment in the world, the
Liberty bonds, are very widely dis
tributed amongst millions of it's cit
liens.
Judging the future by the past, our
bonds issued during this
war are going to rise greatly in
value with peace. In 1888, 4 per cent
United States bonds sold in the open
maket as high as $13O, an in 1901
brought over $139-that is, $139 and
some cents for $1OO bond, That the
Liberty bonds are going to rise well
above par value is something that the
most conservative will admit is well
within the bounds of possibility.
The shrewd and INSCRIPTIONS, the
birds of prey in finance, realize the
worth of Liberty bonds, and are goine
to use every effort to secure them
from the hands of those owners of
them who are uniformed or who are
ignorant of stock and investment
values. The fayorite method will
probably be offering stock of wildcat
companies of other speculative ven
lures. Speculative is really too con-
servative a word to apply to some of
these stocks. since to say that they

UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER

To the Germans the letters u 5.
mean UNCONDITIONAL SURREN-
DER.
The insignia az S." on the uniform
of every American soldier, marine,
and sailor is notice to the Hun that
Unconditional Surrender is the only
thing that will procure a cessation of
hostilities.
When, General Washington defeat
ed CORVALLIS at Yorktown, the
British general sent a messenger ask
ing the commander of the American
forces for a conference to determine
terms of equalization; General Wash
ington, by the same messenger, re-
piled that only unconditional sur
render would be accepted
At Appomattox, General Grant de-
manded, and received, the uncOndi-
tiOnaI surrender of the confederate

In the Spanish-American war, the
Spanish general at Santiago request
ed permission to withdraw his army
from the beleaguered town. Presi-
dent Mckinley ordered his generals in
the field to demand instant and uncon-
ditional surrender, at the same time
:nstructing them that anything less
than that would create the necessity
81 fighting at some other time and
place, under conditions less favor
able. The Spanish army surrendered.
In view of American history, it may
very well be said that the United
States has contracted the habit OF de-
r1anding and obtaining the uncondi-
tlCnal surrender of its enemies.
When Cuba was wrestled from Spa l.
ish domination the United States took
possession of the entire country, and
held while the Cuban people perfect
ed form of government adapted tol
their special requirements. When the
island government was in full opera
ton the United States withdrew, and
Cuba has since continued to govern
itself, mostly with success.
A similar procedure must be insist
ed upon with Germany. This means
that every gun, fort, arsenal, NUM- |
ton factory, battleship, harbor, and
municipality of Germany be turned
over to the allies to be dealt with un-
til the Germans themselves have per-
fected,. and have in operation, a form
of government responsive to the peo-
Dle, who must be taught that nations,
as well as individuals, have a moral
responsibility; that righteousness,
honesty. regard for human rights, and
respect for law is the only basis on
which any nation can long endure;
that treaties must be kept; and that
The family of nations will not permit
one of its members to terriorize theI
rest of the world.
That peace can only be obtained by
the absolute surrender of the German
army is clear from an alaysis of the
German type of mind. That there is

EXTRA SEES THRO
THE KA|SERS BLUFF

Bart McSwat, the Journals military
expert, says that there are many
people who are unnecessarily fright
ened because of the recent massing
of German troops on the western
front in France.
People seem to think, he says,
that the Kaiser is about to make an
other attempt to break through the
allied lines, capture Paris, and make
an end of France. According to Bart
nothing is farther from the kaisers
intentions. Instead of this, he is
merely trying to save his army in
Italy, which he knows is in danger
of being trapped. 1t is on the south
side of the Alps and will soon be
cut off pretty effectively from it's
base of supplies by the mountain
SHOWS. After this, if it should be de-
feated. nothing could prevent an over
whelming disaster from overtaking
it, for it could not escape through
mountain passes filled with snow If
the allies are able to mass men on
the Italian front in great numbers to
defeat the Germans after winter
closes down, Bart thinks it would
put Austria out of business for good
and pretty nearly put an end to the
war; and it is to prevent the dan
ger of this, that the Kaiser is con-
centrating troops in France The
question is whether the allies have
enough men to hold the Germans in
France and to send in addition to
this enough to Italy to help the Ital-
ians wipe out the Germans there
when the right time comes.
Bart's opinion is, that they have
and that something like this is liable
to occur within the next three oil
| four months.
Here is hoping he is right, and that
| the allied commanders are not fooled
/, even if the newspapers and every
body else are. At any rate, it is a
pretty shrewd Yankee analysis OF
what the Kaiser has in the back OF
his head, and of what the German
general staff is trying to pull off
1t is, as you might say, Extras an
swer to Berlin. The Kaiser may fine
out yet that he doesn't have corner
on all the intelligence in the universe
