NO SWIVEL cHAIR PEACE.

From all over the broad land Of ours comes the CRY
that no sentimentality be shown Germany in her peace
helchings. The Muncie Press SAYS that the plight of
Germany if the Huns had been a chivalrous foe might
soon become pitiful, but now if a single sign Of senti-
mentality is shown by any American or allied leader with
these brutes, regardless of who the leader may be. he
should be denounced by press and public and made to
retire forever from public life. We have the wild beast
cornered and fighting for his national life. A decent
fate for him, and one which he wholly deserves, would
be his political death and the dismemberment Of his
body. IT is such a fate as he already has inflicted or
attempted to inhict upon the smaller nations he has con
quered.
But if Germany as a nation be allowed to live she
should be so shorn of power to do further harm that the
world may never again be menaced by her armies and
her ships. She should be allowed to live only by suffer.

ruthlessly divided among those who have been forced
to spend millions of precious lives and billions of dol
lars to crush her.
The blood-soaked soil Of France and Belgium and
Serbia cry out Tor vengeance for the terrible brutalities
they have suffered at the hands Of the savage hordes
of Hundom and their cries should not be in vain. Peace
may DE approaching, but not that kind of a peace.
We ask the peace that the military leaders in the field
shall dictate and not the kind that those might give who

SERBIAN mAsoNs APPEAL TO AMERICA.

The Supreme Council of Scottish Rite Masons for
Serbia has just sent an unusual document to all the
Masonic councils and lodges in this country. It's pub
LEGATION is called forth by the fact that pacihsm has long
disposed TO consider seriously the peace proposals which
will be forthcoming from the Central Powers. In view
Of the German aggression which brought on the World
War, the Serbian Masons want it clearly understood
that they are not ~pacihsts. At least. they make plain
their conviction that an immediate and premature peace
cannot meet in any way the earnest desire of true
Masonry.
Following this statement is a summary in outline
of the pirate international policies sanctioned by Ger
many, Austria-Hungary Turkey and Bulgaria before ana
since the opening Of the war. The Supreme Council
argues that nothing but a complete cessation Of these
practices viii make the world safe to live in. A peace
which makes possible a continuation of such depredatory
dealings is no peace at all. but slavery.

F~ATHERLAND PIFFLE.

We have never met the kaiser personally. but the
impression we have gained of him from our reading in
contemporaneous history is that he is a blowhard and a
supreme egotist, and a god-forsaken bIasphemer. As far
as pulling the wool over the eyes of the German people.
Wilhelm is what good old Tom Wood of Crown Point
would call a "honeyfugler.' Wilhelm is always talking
about the fatherland as if it could be held together by
sympathy and love. The fatherland is nothing. 1t isn't
half as old as the State of Indiana to begin with. When
the fatherland was confederated the Germans strapped
among themselves like the very devil In 1866 Bavaria
sided with Austria and against the bully Prussia
Prussia won and loved Bavaria so well that she stuck
her for a part OF her territory and twelve million in
demnity. Great memory OF a fatherland where one OF
the brothers had to paw the other twelve million dollars
for being a %neighbor. Prussia always has bullied the
other little brothers of the fatherland and it has stuck
in the craW Of old-time Germans ever since. No wonder
some of the brothers are getting weary of this father
land stuff that the kaiser is always pulling.
Where is the keynote in the fatherlard idea any.

LooK OVER THE LIST!

Those persons who have been inclined TO doubt
whether England has been doing her part in the
lighting recently are respectfully referred to the casualty
lists for their answer. British losses for the week ending
last Monday we're in excess of $4,000. whereas for the
week previous they were in excess of 10000. And an
appalling number of these men were killed. When the
story Of this war is written and all the facts and figures
