GENERAL PETAIN'S MANLY Or
DER.

In his order of the 18th inst, Gen
eral Petain said to the French army:
History will record the, tenacity
and fierce energy displayed during
these four years by our country
which had to vanquish in order not
to die.
Tomorrow, in order to better die
tate peace, you are going to carry
your arms as far as the Rhine Into
that land of Alsace-Lorraine that is
SO dear to us, you will march as lib
orators. You will go further, all
the way into Germany to occupy
lands which are the necessary
guarantee for just reparation.
"You are to remain under. dis
cipline and to show respect to per-
sons and property. You will know,
after vanquishing your adversary by
force of arms, how to impress him
further by the dignity of your atti-
tude and the world will not know
which to admire most, your conduct
in success or your heroism in
fighting.
II extend fond and affectionate
greeting to our dead whose sacrifices
gave us our victory, and / send a
message Of salutation, full of sad
affection, to the fathers, to the
mothers, to the widows and orphans
of France, who in these days OF ma
tional joy dry their tears for q
moment to acclaim the triumph Of
our arms. bow my head before
their magnificent flag.
z viva La France!

THE FLAG THAT NEVER KNEW
DEFEAT.
AMERlcA,s NEXT GREAT WORK

AMERICAS NEXT GREAT WORK.
The tumult and the shouting has
ended. This country was the decid-
ing factor in the worlds greatest war.
! With its aid victory has been won
that will make every land a safe place
for democracy. But this country's
part in the great war drama is still un-
finished. Our next great work is to
help feed the hungry, who were our
enemies but few days ago as we'll as
our friends "over there"
Germany will have to pay for bind
ing up the wounds of battle, and the
German people will probably stagger
under the load for generations to
come This country will do more than
its share in helping to feed the starv-
ing people in the defeated countries,
and its motive for so doing will be
largely humanitarian. Our European
Allies should willingly assist in this
work, even though they should not
share this country's motives. The
people of Germany will have to work
for many years to pay the European
Allies for the damages wrought by
their armies, and the Allies are
interested in having them fed the
same as an employer is interested in
having his workmen provided for.

LLOYD GEORGE IN ACCORD WITH
PRESIDENT WILSON.

Commenting upon the advent Of
peace Lloyd George said:
This is perhaps the most momen-
tous hour in the history of the world.
It has been long and hard road to
the end of the tunnel, but how glor-
ious is the sunshine now.
"The nation will not forget the
magnificent heroism Of the soldiers
and sailors from every part Of the en-
pire, and the steadfastness Of the al
lies.
"The result? Lasting international
friendship, born Of defiance, nurtured
by the darkest hours and cemented
by the blood Of our manhood"
These statements Of the English
Premier indicate that he will work
with President Wilson in the rebuild
ing Of the defeated nations upon new
and better foundations than they have
everbefore known.
After reparation has been made for
crimes committed and for wanton
wrongs the Germans and their allies
must be given a place in the worlds
development. There must be no place
for undying hatreds in the new era,
or the new era will not be everlast-
ingly lasting.

IOWA THE GARDEN OF THE LIN.
IL COLIN HIGHWAY.
: Cedar Rapids Republican. )

Cedar Rapids Republican,
We shall now have more time to
think of building better roads. In the
state of Illinois they have voted a
wonderful thing-one that will make
other states sit up and take notice
In the last election they actually voted
sixty millions of dollars for road pur-
poses and they hope to be able to get
that money to spend on their roads
without materially increasing taxes,
that is by collecting and conserving
the automobile license moneys, mon
eys that in most states have been vast
ed, or at least been scattered out so
thin that they do not appear as great
benefits.
What are we going to do in Iowa?
In these parts we are doing some
thing that is going to be experimental
we are putting in what has been
called the first Seeding mile, between
Marion and Mt. Vernon and through
the federal aid we understand another
mile is to be connected up with that
initial one. The field secretary of the
Lincoln Highway, Mr.. o. c. Osterman,
spent Monday and part Of Tuesday in
this city, He is out on tour of in
spection, going over the great high
way from end to end for the eight
esnth time, We believe. He knows
every foot of the great road. He has
been greatly interested in what we
are doing here and has expressed him
self as delighted with the kind of con-
crete work that is being done on that
trial mile
Mr.. Osterman Is not pessimist
when it comes to Iowa roads. He says
that this state has been doing won
derful work in bringing its dirt roads
to permanent grades, which is always
the first step to better roads. From
coast to coast no state has done bet
ter in that respect than Iowa, and SO
far as dirt roads go he thinks that
those of this state are about the best
of all. And when the dirt roads are
good they are the best roads in the
world-except when it rains and it
may rain almost any day.
Mr.. Osterman has something else to
say for Iowa-that our three hundred
and fifty miles of Lincoln highway
constitute one of the most scenic"
portions of the whole road. This may
seem startling to some Iowans who
have heard so much about California
and other states and things that we
have actually come to underestimate
ourselves.
In the years to come, Mr.. Osterman
does not hesitate to say, the stretch
through Iowa will be to the trans
continental tourists the most delight
full, the one along which they will lin
ger the most lovingly, for Iowa has al

varied scenery and it is all made hui
manly interesting by the evidences OF
thrift and cultivation. In the years to
come passing through Iowa along the
Lincoln Highway, according to Mr..
Osterman, will be like driving through
a great garden of both natural and
cultivated beauty and interest.

THE CRUEL PRICE OF WAR.
The London Express estimates the
total casualties of the war at $4,000
900. This aweful aggregate includes
killed, wounded and deaths from
wounds, accidents and disease. Ger
many's losses exceed a tenth of the en-
tire population of that country.

HOHENZOLLERNS A ROBBER DY.
NASTY.

The five hundred year rule Of the
Hohenzollerns is ended. Bismark
told how he called the attention Of
the kaiser's father to the fact, that
every one of his ancestors had added
to Prussia's dominion.
For five hundred years robber blood
has flown through the veins Of the
Hohenzollerns, and the kaiser plan
ned to be the greatest robber Of them
all.

WHY THE FRENCH FEEL VENICE,
Full,

Inc following artlclo by Albert ray
son Terhune tells how Germany
treated France in the war Of 1870
1871. 1t explains why France feels
vengeful at the present time when
victory perches on her banners:
frances power and frances pride
were crushed into the dust lin 1871
After one brief. and terrible campaign
the French armies were practically
destroyed and their German foes were
hammering at the gates of Paris
France was still dazed with the light
ming suddenness and unexpectedness
of the national tragedy.
yet the disaster was due to no lack
of heroic courage on the part of the
losers. The great nation had been be-
trayed by it's charlatan emperor, Ma
poleon Ill, who in turn was the dupe
of his treacherous advisers and OF
Bismark's willy Prussian policy.
For long years Prussia had secretly
been making ready for this war.
Thousands of Prussian spies had been
at work in France, bribing, corrupting,
undermining.
Graft and incompetence had been
injected into the councils of army and
state. The French emperor was made
to believe that his troops were irwin
chile and that Prussia would be an
easy prey. Also that the other Ger
man states would combine against
Prussia.
Meanwhile these other German
states had made an alliance with
Prussia, and every detail of the war
had been planned out by Bismark and
Moltke
"In three great armies the Germans
crossed the Rhine and struck at the
very heart Of unprepared France.
The French fought like heroes. But
the odds against them we're too great,
and the undermining had been too
complete.
French Lose Battle After Battle.
In battle after battle the French
armies were shattered and hurled
back toward Paris, or were shut up
in fortresses las at Metz and SEDAN,
and there were forced to surrender.
"Presently-exceptf for stray, help
less forces in the south-Paris alone
held out against the German foe.
Meanwhile, Prussian soldiers were
devasting the land and performing
prodigies of ill treatment upon thou
sands of helpless victims.
Paris at last fell. And the crushed
French were driven to accept such
terms as their brutal conquerors saw
fit to impose. They had not yielded
until not only their soldiers, but the
civilians of Paris and other cities
had fought to the utmost.
1.-THE toll of dead was looked on, in
these days, as appalling, though it
seems petty by comparison to the
present war casualties. The German
losses were $4,000 dead and 1O1, 900
wounded or disabled. The French
lost 10000 dead and $4,000 in
and disabled, besides 720, 1000
who surrendered.
Hun VictOrs Impose Hard Terms.
"The victors were resolved not only
to pay themselves well for the war
they had so craftily brought on, but
to smash the future of France.
"In the peace negotiations at YER
sailles February, 1871 they demand
ed the following terms from their vic

local option elections in New York
showed that although prohibition
forces won out in bare majority of
the thirty-nine cities voting, the vets
carried the larger municipalities and
retained more than 1,400 of the

of the total involved. Revised re-
turns early today from Geneva, which
had been in doubt, threw it into the
wet column by small majority. This

ton, 20; for retaining licenses, 10.
Syracuse and Schenectady, the
largest cities voting, went wet by big
majorities, ranging from approx
mately 10000 to $500 respectively.
Binghamton, the only other second
class city affected, went dry.
