THE Kaiser and those who plunged
Germany into the dreadful war that has
failed so ANONYMOUSLY are flying from
that unhappy country as rats from

and Justice reach after them and bring
them back to answer for their crimes.

THE election last week brought ma
t;onal prohibition a good deal nearer
Four wet States voted themselves into
the dry column-Ohio, Florida, Wyom
ing and Vermont. Minnesota gave a
majority for State wide prohibition, but
because of technicality the State will
not get the benefit. IT is believed that
the Legislatures Of sufficient States
have been carried by the prohibition
forces to make ratification Of the ma
tional amendment a certainty by the
first Of next April When the 36th
State shall have ratified, the liquor bust
ness in the whole United States will
end in exactly one year. The prohibit
tionists are arranging to celebrate on the
lst Of March, 1920.

THE Kaiser has fed from his ruined
country, but he takes with him guilty
conscience, the bitterness Of terrible
defeat and the knowledge that his coun-
try is ruined for years to come. He
will 60 down into history as vain and
incompetent megalomaniac who not on
ly failed to make worthy name for
himself, but has caused his people to
be hated and -despised by the decent
peoples Of the earth. 1t will be fifty
years before the name of a German
will be regarded with anything save dis
trust and adherence, and it will be a
still longer time before the people of
that country may rid themselves Of the
heavy burdens imposed upon them by
the war and the debts they must pay
because Of their waRton destruction and
their unparalleled thieving and looting

Matters OF tremendous importance must

The German ENJOYS, under nag OF
truce, appeared before General foch'
the Allied commander, last Friday, and
made formal request for an armlstice.
General Foch gave them the terms as
dictated by the Allies, and allowed them
until Monday, u hours, to accept OF
reject. No discussion or argument
was permitted-they could take it or
leave it. A courier was at once despatch'
ed to German headquarters with copy
of the terms, and though the conditions
were as gall and NORWOOD there
was nothing to do but accept, and early
Monday morning the armistice was
signed by the Inundated Huns and the
glorious news was flashed to all the
world. The official statement was given
out from the State Department in Wash
ington at 2.45 a. m, when the sentence
was put on the wires "The armistlce
has been signed"
The armistice was signed by the
German Representatives Sunday mid
night. General Foch then notified the
German commander-in-chief that hos
tilities would cease at II a. m. (six
O'Clock a. m. Washington time). Exact
" at IL o'clock thousands of American
cannon fired a parting round at the
Germans and then were silent. The
order "cease fringw was given, and
the war was over.

NOBODY will begrudge the honors
due that great French soldier, General
Foch-the most splendid military genius
of modern times. From the time that
Re was given full authority he has hand
led the armies Of the Allies with such
sagacity and skill that success followed
success until final and complete victory
over the German military machine was
accomplished. The boosted army which
Germany took nearly fifty years TO bnild
- has been battered to pieces and the
e.eat bully Hindenburg and the cunning
AID cruel Ludendorff have been brought
T. their knees BY the quiet, efficient and
courageous Frenchman General Foch
ard his resourceful helpers, General
Pershing and General Haig and the
splendid men under them.

THE GREAT WAR IS ENDED.

The war is over This ought to be
the happiest week the world has ever
known, for the greatest war that has
ever plagued the people of the earth has
been ended-and ended right, for the
forces of military brutality and selfish
ambition have been utterly routed and
the cause of democracy and humanity
and real freedom has triumphed glorious
ly. The naughty and cruel Germans
have been soundly thrashed, the proud
and domineering Austro- Hungarlan
monarchy has been demolished, and the
unspeakable Turk is no longer to be
feared.
The collapse Of the German govern
ment, which has been imminent for
several weeks, is complete. The armies,
defeated and partly destroyed, have
surrendered; the Kaiser has abdicated
his son, the Crown Prince, has re-
nounced all claims to the overturned
throne, and the royal family and their
supporters have fled to Holland for
refuge, thus escaping the wrath OF their
long suffering subjects who had at last
risen in rebellion against militarism and
autocracy.

Sabbath Drive Is
Set Ahead a Week
by Local Workers

While Oct 6 is the official date
of national Liberty loan Sunday,
the Rock Island county organiza-
ton has planned to have it's Liberty
loan Sunday one week earlier, or
Sept %, and has requested all min
listers in the county to cooperate in
this patriotic movement.
This change in date is due to the
fact that according to the plans OF
the county executive committee, the
campaign here is expected to be
over long before Oct. g. AS a con-
sequence, the local managers wish
to have the influence of the ser
mons preached on Liberty Sunday
make its effect felt in the first days
of the drive.
As this county, among many 9th
ers in Illinois, is planning to have
it's full quota raised by Monday fol-
lowing the opening of the drive, the
ministers in all the churches have
been asked to preach special ser
mons of a patriotic character Sept.
%. Through this and other chan
nels, every effort is being made to
impress on the people the necessity
of prompt action in putting the
fourth Liberty loan over quickly.

Again the government comes to
the people of the country with the
request that they lend their money,
and lend it upon more liberal
scale than ever before, in order that
the great war for the rights of
America and the liberation of the
world may be prosecuted with ever
increasing vigOr to a victorious
conclusion. And it makes the ap-
peal with the greatest confidence
because it knows that every day it
is becoming clearer and clearer to
thinking men throughout the ma
ton that the winning of the war
is an essential investment. The
money that is held back now will
be of little use or value if the war
is not won and the selfish masters
of Germany are permitted to die
tate what America may and may
not do. Men in America, besides,
have from the first until now dedi-
Gated both their lives and their for
tunes to the vindication and main
tenance of the great principles and
objects for which our government
was set up. They will not fail now
to show the world for what their
wealth was intended.
