END OF WAR IN SIGHT.

END OF WAR IN SIGHT.
That the war will be over by Christ
mas, if the weather is favorable, is be-
lieved by many. The collapse of Austria
Hungary, as outlined in today's dis
patches, brings the end much nearer
Germany is now left in desperate posi-
ton With all her allies out of the
fighting, more than 100000 men OF the
allied armies in Italy, Albania, Greece
and Bulgaria, can be released to close
in on Germany from the south and east
and she will be crushed from both sides
If she takes troops from her western
front to defend her eastern front the
western front will collapse. If she does
not do this her territory will be invaded
from the east.
Austria, being out of the fight, will
be required to recall her troops now
fighting with Germans on the western
front and it will be weakened. Ger
many, having held out until the last, is
not at the mercy of the Allies and they
should show no more mercy to Germany
than Germany showed to Belgium,
France and Serbia. If Germany fights,
she will be whipped If she ceases fight
ing she will be crushed at the peace
table.
Germany can expect no mercy nor
easy TERMS She brought on the war
and when German arms were triumphant
Kaiser Bill announced that "ny victori-
GUS armies will dictate terms of peace
and there will be no peace save the peace
of the sword" Germany announced the
terms of peace at that time. Let her
accept them now.
The sending of German submarine
to the American coast to sink neutral
and American shipping at this time will
make Gerrnany's peace terms that much
harder.
THEY'RE NEEDING SHOES.
Old Hifrdy is retreating and his troops
are on the run; the kaiser's dream was
fleeting-'bout that peace up in the
sum-" the Yankees husky kickers are
stepping on their heels; when they prod
'em with their stickers each bloomln
Hienie squeals But it's hard for Yanks
to sight 'em, as they rampse toward the
Rhine = when Old Hindy thunders
Eight EN-" The Hienies boiler
"Nein" So they keep right on a going
and its tough on Yankee feet-chasing
bosches out of Belgium in the rain and
mud and sleet Their shoes are getting
shabby, they are leaky and they're
ripped, and they've got to have some
new ones before the brutes are whipped |
Then it's up to you, my brother, and it's
UP to me as well, to hunt some joint or
other where War Stamps is what they
sell-if we don't the Yanks will shiver
and some perhaps will freeze, for there's
nothing chils their liver like that blasted
Belgium breeze. It's the money we are
spending for these War Stamps every
day that will aclothe and feed our sol
diers while they're driving Huns away
let's waltz right up and buy 'em, its the
only way to show that we love our
scrapping Ladies' more than we love
our dough- This greeting, then, I'm
sending, in this rotten junk | run-(and
BY durn you've got to read it till your
duty you have done D--When you buy
those blessed War Stamps then we'll
the news that you're parting
With your Doodle so the Yanks can have
some shoes!

rouble is to be Stunned. 1t is the same
HAYWOOD whom Nugent defended for

riend" in Owyhee. The only trouble is
Iugent does not now find his "old
riend" a political asset and is ready to
throw him down." When Haywood
,as out and around and could drum up

But the fact remains that Nugent was
