Last Friday when it was learned
that the Yanks were going over the
top in France it was thought that 1t
would be . fine thing to have a patri-
otic meeting on the street. The FIRE
whistle was blown and the bell rang
to get people on the street. DIR. Coles
Of Springfield vas in town and he was
asked to give a speech. He gave a
good strong talk for about an hour.
Quite q crowd gathered to hear him.
The July draft left this morning
for Camp Dodge, Iowa, to fight for
Uncle Sam, . hundred and twenty
eight strong. Perhaps The biggest
crowd that has gathered at the depot
was there to e the boys off. The
Home Guard formed in line up town
ndmsrched ID the depot headed by
the Home Guard band. There was
very little weeping, the people sent
the boys off with q smile. and when
the train pulled out the boys waved
their hatS and used their lungs in
good shape. II that is the way the

Il this time Tuesday night the

city to any given point only once a

The report comes from Constanti-
nople that Turkey has withrawn from
the alliance with Germany and Aus
tria, the break being due to a disstis-
faction over the spoils taken from
Rumania. The report has not been
confirmed, although it has been known
for some time that Turkey was dissat-
isfied with the treatment that she has
recei we'd. Too much can not be hop
ed from this break, eve if it is true,
as the Turkish army is differed by
q ermans and these officers may be
able to hold the army in lipe for Ger
many, regardless of the civil authori-
ties. 1t has been surmised that the
new sultan is more favorable to the
allies than to the central powers, but
the ruling spirit of Turkey has been
Talaat Pasha, the leading member of
the Committee of Union and Progress,
a secret organization which has been
the ruling power of Turkey. Talaat
has all along been strongly pro-Ger-
man, and until his power is over
thrown too much can not be hoped for
from Turkish opposition to Germany.
belmont Record: The recent mar.
rage of Robert E. Been and Miss
Bertha Claussen. both of Douglas

groom and his sister, Miss Nellie
Breen, both charged with perjury.
Breen and Miss Claussen went tc

ried. The sister of the groom accom-
panied them and it was charged wher
Breen applied for the license he swore
that Miss Claussen was more than Is
years old, his sister appearing as tbs

and caused the arrest Of the groom
and his sister, is only 10 years old.

From Critica.

the German government and German reo-
pie must be made to understand ta.. she
essential things involved in this ,t,ugslc
cannot be traded for-are not lands, COL
ohfes, money, material objects which can
be touched with hands of flesh AMI seer,
with physical eyes? They are things of the
spirit invisible and eternal, which cannot
be put on auction block nor made the
subjects of sordd bargainings. They ar.
honol and plighted faith, they are humanity
and nobility, love and mercy, freedom for
those already free and emancipation for the
slaves of tyrannyin a word, the ideals
and the principles which constitute the soul
OF mankind. Nothing could more clearly
indicate Germanys fall to the level of mere
intellectual brutishness than her supposi-
ton that we could trade the things which
make us what we are for so many square
miles of Belgian territory. If we wer.
capable of that, would be as base ana
as hopeless as Prussiansm itself. No u,

The possibility of economic reprisals
has disturbed German statesmen and
business men considerably. 1t has done
a great deal to convert them to Allied
ideas, believing that only in the kind of
guarantee the Allies will ask for the
world will they themselves find any
guarantee against the necessity of pay
ing for their crimes. DR.. Bernhard
Dernburg, for instance, former German
Colonial Minister, writes in the Vienna
"Neue Presse" plain declaration that
league of nations alone can protect Ger
many, suffering from an impoverish-
ment OF raw materials" However, DR..
Dernburg does not neglect the opportu-
nifty to advertise Germany's new riches
in the East. Doubtless this was written
at time when the turn of fate had not
made Eastern plunder for Germany ex-
tremely improbable. Nevertheless, it is
an indication of the German attitude. and
is finally confession of the German
plight. One reads:
New-York tribune., 1918-09-01
Ctill Counting on Plunder
~ in the East

''lf the Entente holds to its threat, and
1t not possible to carry through the sup
ply of raw materials as peace condition.
then The war will go on; the sole question
that arises is, Are the Central Powers suf-
fciently strong economically to hold out in
the future against the stoppage of raw ma
terials? That the Entente is no match for
them in the field is now even clearer than
before. There is absolutely no doubt that.
III this respect, our prospects have extraor-
dinarily improved An immense sphere lies
open to us in the East
ut will need time and patience to or
ganize the future of it, but as we alone
have the supply routes in our hands we
can shut out all competition from others
and stretch out our suckers far into the in
terror of Asia.
"The threat of Wilson has only thi,
meaning--that he opposes the boycott of
raw materials as a compensation to great
territorial successes of the Central Powers
in the East and West against which the
Entente have nothing to show except the
German colonies and small portions of the
Turkish Empire); the President indicates
by this what will, among other things, be

at is time to talk to them in the lam
guage of victory. That could not be done
effectively when their armies were on the
offensive, but it can be done now, and it is
language that they can be made to under
stand. The fact cannot be too strongly
emphasized that they are going to be beaten
with their own weapons and that the longer
they fight the heavier the penalty they will
have to pay"
"The Philadelphia Public Ledger
echoes Senator Lodge, that Germany
must be put where ''it can do no more
harm in the future to the rest of the:
world" and continues:
Nothing short of crushing defeat of
Germany and the demolition of German pre-
tensions will now suffice to make the world
safe place for free peoples and govern
ments.
"The German bully, beaten to his knees,
will whine for mercy; triumphant, small
mercy will he grant his victim. This is
the real meaning of the hypocritical and
shifty changes in official German utterances
on war aims and peace terms. But official
Germany has yet to be made to realize the
deep and unalterable distrust in which it's
every pronouncement is now received
throughout civilization, and that realization
can only come through final and crushing
defeat Of the German military power"

secret of few royal brigands and their
accomplces. A. whole world is watching
the glowing of the breaking of the dawn
when militarsm and the superstition of
the divine right of kings shall finally be
ground to pieces under the heel of out
ragged humanity"
TO agree to a peace that is accepta-
Bile to this force" notes "The Kansas
City Times" rs to compromise with it,
to leave it alive, to consent that it shall
continue to exist, if only in a corner,
and to face the certainty that in few
years it will again challenge the civiliza-
ton and democracy of the world to an
other test of might" And this paper,
which is the morning edition of "The
Kansas City STAR" concludes:
There must be no such compromise This
force that we know as German autocracv
must be removed from the world, must be
crushed and stamped out of existence. That
is what the Allies are fighting for, not
merely to bring the war to an end There
can be no end to war while kaiserism lives
There can only be truce, and truce means
renewed strength to the worlds enemy. No
compromise, no truce, no negotiation, while
autocracy still has gun, no pause i1r send
ing our millions to France, no halt in the
march on Berlin, no peace until the enemy
of peace is hostage in democracy's
camp"
The status quo ante which appears so
often in German comment may be re-
stored, but it will not be the same status
quo ante that the Germans have in mind.
"The Columbus Evening Dispatch"
points out what of the past must be
made the same again when peace comes:
but there are some things that will have
to be made they were before the war.
Germany will have to rebuild Belgium so
far as it is within her power She cannot
rebuild the destroyed families but she can
rebuild the houses; she cannot restore life
to the heroic dead who died in defence Of
their country, but she can support the de-
pendents of those heroic dead. She can
replace the many ships she has sunk con-
trary to the rules of international law. and
she will have to do so, but she cannot bring
back to life the women and children she
murdered upon them. There will be
status quo ante for Germany in some re-

It. would indeed be monstrous injustice to
1orego the exaction of the greatest possible
indemnity that can be forced by military
pressure from the loot-filled treasures of
Germany. 1t would be inAumanity to leave
at large innumerable criminal conspirators.
1t would be bloodthirstiness to refrain from
the killing of a few whose deaths would
mean the saving of the lives of many. It
would be betrayal of humanity and civili-
zation to treat on terms of equality and
confidence those who have shown them
selves intrinsically criminal and depraved."
English newspapers do not vary from
this tenor of opinion. at was Germany
who appealed to the sword" says "The
Pail Mall Gazette" "From the sword she
shall take her answer. Senator Lodge
goes to the root of the matter when he
says this war is different from any other
From it's outset it has been a deliberate
attempt on the part of one nation to
bring the civilized world under it's feet
by every possible outrage upon the COM
mon law of humanity. There can never
be discussion between Germany and the
Allies, because there is not the fragment
of ground upon which it can be held"
Lord Hugh Cecil in letter to "The Lon
don Times" wrote that the war has de-
veloped to the point where now it is "a
crusade to overthrow a principle, to
stamp out a moral disease to extirpate
an abomination
In Germany the attemept to hide the

IF now, after the sacrifices in men and
money made by England and the United
States,' says the "Vossische Zeitung,"
"thc outcome of the war is to be made
profitable for them, it means that peace
must bring not only the complete power
lessness Of the German Empire, but also,
if possible, that of all Europe as the
proper reward for the Anglo-Saxon ma
tions."
All German offers of barter, of trad
ing material things to some end and
agreement, get this response from "The

<77hey Will Get the Kind of
1 Government They Deserve

The New York Tribune says that
we ARE not the saviors of the German
people. We are not in this war to ar
range government for them. They
will get the kind of government they
Deserve and, quoting Senator Lodge,
"just as they now have the government
they prefer, whose purposes and ambi-
tions and barbarisms they sustain" "The
Kansas City Journal observes that Sen
ator Lodge said nothing about indemn-
ties, adding "it is hardly conceivable but
that in some form or other Germany
must be made to pay for the frghtful
destruction of property which has at
tended the ruthless warfare she has
waged, if not reimburse the nations for
the expenditures they have been called
upon to make" "The New York Even
ing World sees another "Tag" ap-
preaching for Germany:
"Now, after four years of colossal effort
and failure to shackle the world to the car
of military autocracy with what different
feelings must they watch the coming of

they must reap the harvest of their own
sowing; day whose certain and rapid ap-
proach not even Prussian arrogance can
longer deny, the thoughts of which fill m
with craven fear as they are rolled back

the Allied forces.

is useless to hide from ourselves that we
are concerned here with an object of COM
pensation (Kompensationsob of very
great Importance; that is obvious from the
situation.
Even in the event of the return Of the
German colonies, with the addition of a
slice of Africa as we'll, the Central Powers
will not be able to satisfy their own de-
Tnand for raw materials. There are, how
ever, only very few neutral producers;
neither Sweden nor Spain nor the Dutch
colonies can supply US with what is neses-
sary, even if they supply valuable contri.
buttons.
'The rest of the world, however with the
exception of Mexico, the Argentine and
Chile, is fighting on the side of our enc
mics, and since the sovereignty of all these
states empowers them to direct their ex-
ports and imports in any direction they
desire, there will be nothing to prevent
them continuing their war legislation even
after the war"
In the face of German ante -bellum eff
forts to recover place and prestige, "The
Detroit Free Press" advises watchfulness
ana caution and an active campaign of
propaganda on our own part to counter
act, the Hun. 1t declares:
"some who try to envision the German
efforts after the war to engender better
1eeilng among the erstwhile enemies of
their country imagine that the various
agencies that are to be used will work in
the open and be easily controlled We NAV
rest assured that, although the Teuton can
be depended upon to make many blunders
of tact and discretion, he will work. az

Gus channels, against which it will be al
most impossible to countermine. Scores Of

scores of others will never be known c.-
cept by their fruits"
New-York tribune., 1918-09-01
Germany Can't Fall
VI Back of Holy Writ

"The Portland Oregonian'' takes up
this matter from the standpoint of the
uses of hatred, and finds Germany can
have no refuge in the Christian doctrine
of forgiveness, because her evildoing
has nullified her claim to mercy. Thus:
"An unrepentant Germany stands no
chance, and deserves none, of being for
given, and those who hate evil will continue
to hate the unrepentant doers of evil until
the end. The guilt is collective, as was the
guilt of those in the cities which Christ de-
nounced because they repented not. There
must be collective repentance on the part of
Germans, coupled, as we have suggested,
with practical evidence of it's genuineness,
before the greater part of the world will
cease to feel what to all intents and pur-
poses is hate"
The speech of Senator Lodge appears
to have drawn a considerable interest in
Germany. 1t is the voice of tomorrow,
and Germany has no illusions as to its
meaning for her, however much she may
try to continue defiance Gwen those
who most keenly desire an understand
ing must realize that an understanding
is impossible as long as such views obtain
among the enemy" is the comment of
the "Berliner Lokal-Anzeiger" This is
the reply Of "The New York World":
The American people had nearly three

spects, but not in the meaning of the COR
respondent.''
"No imposition of sevi'' is the phrase
of George Harvey in his "War Weekly"
"but inexorable and relentless exaction
of atonement for evil" And further:
eve favor reprisas. We would exact
from Germany the fullest possible in
demnity for the material damage which
she has done to Belgium, France and Serbia,
though it bled her white and kept her so
for a hundred years. We would sweep
every German sympathizer and propagandst
IN America into prison pen, not where
he would be coddled and fed on the fat of
