HELL's BUSY TRYING TO SAVE GERMANY.

The greatest menace TO the world in which we live
IN the greatest menace to our children and TO unborn
children is the tremendous effort that will be made in
Germany and by her pacifst vassals all over the world
TO BRING ABOUT A WEAK PEACE, A PEACE OF
COMPROMISE.
Every power of hell and earth which can be con
roiled by Germany will be used TO produce such a peace,
and we may rest assured that hell viii be very active in
the campaign. for hell can ask no greater achievement
than an inconclusive peace, or one WHICH LEAVES
AND IT'S CRIMINALS UNFINISHED
Hell knows that this would mean the continuation
of hell on earth and another war in the not distant
future which would surpass this war.
UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER is the only term
which should ever be used in connection With peace. and
with the definite determination that every criminal leader
in this great conflict shall on the gallows pay with his
life the penalty or mis- crimes. and that the nations guilty
of bringing this war upon the world shall be made to
pay the full cost to the Allies. Nothing else would
satisfy justice. ANYTHING ELSE WOULD BE A BLOT
pom CIVILIZATION FOR CENTURIES TO COME.

WE are more han ready to give the

EQUAL suffrage in public
IF they will only get together and

THAT we get it at home
BECAUSE We honestly believe that If
it hadn't been for

licked us in this war.

IN WHICH WE ARE CRITICIZED.

Editor Times: In Your editorial on our great
President Wilson's last answer to Germany YOU damn
il with praise. You cross your fingers too much.
What more could that noble man at WASHINGTON ask
of Germany than he asked in that note? In your in
depreciation of that note you seem TO stand alone
among the newspapers.
A WILSON ADMIRER.
There is one crime in the category we, editoriaIly.
have never been accused of and that is sycophancy.
Neither do we ever propose to be an idoIator. A cat
may look at a king. We have a profound admiration for
the Wilson brain. but never yet have we heard that he
aspired to be the national All Highest. We fail to sec
the presidents last message as a demand for uncondi-
tional surrender.
AS far as standing alone is concerned. our CORE.
spondent's newspaper reading is limited. AS great a
newspaper as the New York Tribune says:
Why, in our growing correspondence with Ger
many is the word surrender taboo? Why is 1t that
We cannot talk as we fght2 We are negotiating with
Germany toward an aTmistice-toward peace. DOES
THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT KNOW THE
HEART OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND HOW
IT SINKS AS EACH FURTHER EXPECTATION IS
so VAGUELY DISAPPOINTED"

Home News ut the Front.

Leslie's Weekly: To no person who
has ever been "a stranger in strange
land" will movement, now under way,
to supply American fighting men on
land and sea with newspapers from
their home towns seem trivial. The
very fact that our soldiers on the other
side in camp, trench and hospital are
constantly appealing for more home
newspapers" indicates serious want
that should be supplied Everybody
realizes how. necessary it is to sustain
the morale of the nations defenders.
Nothing has been more potent to this
end than cheerful letters from family
and friends.
But many soldiers and sailors are
not blessed with inspiriting CORES
pondence, and to these, newspapers.
either the dailies or weeklies. from the
localities in which they have lived are
an excellent substitute. And even
those who receive letters regularly find
in the home papers many bits of inter-
esting news which the letterwriters do
not cover. The "Home Paper Service"
initiated by Col William Boyce Thomp-
son for men who have entered the army
or navy from Westchester county, n.
Y, is thus most commendable bit of
war work Colonel Thompson has, on
his own responsibility. undertaken to
provide over 600 men in the service
with home newspapers and expects to
lengthen the roster. This enterprise

Don't Give Comfort Kits.

The Bulletin on July 81 -eprinted a
letter from LaCross, Wis, soldier in
which he highly praised the Red Cross
and especially the comfort kit given
him by the LaCross chapter This let
ter was reprinted because of its COM
plimentary reference to the Red Cross
but it left misapprehenslon as to the
Red Cross policy with regard to the
distribution of comfort kits which it
is necessary to correct.
The policy of the Red Cross is to
restrict the giving Of omfort kits so
that some soldiers will not receive too
much equipment and others not enough.
Therefore, there should be no giving
of the comfort kits by local chapters.
In addition, private individuals and
other organizations have been asked
not to give the men such articles when
they leave for camp, as they will re-
ceive the same things at the camps and
duplication would be inevitable. The
Red Cross will see that every man re-
ceives his proper outfit, and if all per-
sons lend their assistance greater eff
cheney will be assured. Chapters
should not distribute comfort kits but
should send them to division headquar-
tiers, from which point they will be sent
to the various camps and distributed
to all soldiers alike.

WOUNDED GIANT
THINKS OF MOTHER

BY FRANK j. TAYLOR.

With the American Troops in Lor-
raine, July 81. (By Mail 1.-The big
Fellow" was horseshoer, and when a
shell crashed near his shed. it put him
low. They brought him to the hospital
and gave him treatment, and found he
would be all right, after some time.
He was damaged but not beyond re-
pair.
They admired him for his quiet, I'M
complaining manner, and for his size.
His arm was bigger than most mems,
legs. and his hand was like ham.
He was giant. but gentle giant. and
a bashful one, and everyone liked him.
The nurse often tried to do some
thing for him, but he seemed always

satisfied when he made no trouble for
anyone. Finally she brought him some
cigarettes, and some writing paper,
and asked if he wanted her to write a
letter.
He looked up appreciatively.
"Well, I don't smoke" he said, II
don't drink nor chew, and try not to
swear, but I can't help it sometimes
I don't write either, except to one per-
son, and that's my little mother. She's
my best girl If you'll write to her for
me, I'll appreciate it, and I'll write
when my hands get better"
The nurse wrote the letter he dicta-
ted to her, and it was short, but right
to the point. He didn't beat about the
bush when he wrote to "his little moth
err" He told her how much he loved
her.
He was quiet and therefore largely
unnoticed for the next few days, and
his improvement was marked. Every
one was glad to see the big Fellow"
get we'll. 1t seemed all wrong to have
a giant wounded
One day he beamed on his nurse.
"Look at that" he said, showing her an
envelope" Got letter from my best
girl Maybe I'm not tickled.
The letter was from the big Fell
lows" little mother.

Repeal Rule Against Sisters.

Sisters of officers and enlisted men
will be permitted to go TO France in
Red Cross service, according to rec

The ruling provides that any women
sent to France must agree not to try
to see any relatives they may have in
the army and if they marry they will
be returned at once to this country.
A SC .rcity of workers caused the Red
Cross and other war organizations to
ask that the restriction be removed

will be sent abroad only because Of
special qualifications and after the
Paris headquarters has called for
them. The bureau of personnel handl-
es all applications for service abroad.
