That's what the Government
says; and, we are here to confess
that we are surprised to find with
what good nature our\ subscrl-

welcome the change. Fro m
present indications, there will be
but few of the NEWS subscribers

account of not being paid up.
Money is plenty, and nobody
feels like admitting that their

they are not paid up.

A telegram to his father, John
V. Stouteagle of this place last
Sunday brought the sad intelli-
gence that John Stouteagle, Jr.,
had died at Gibbstown, N. j.,
after a short illness. The father
had spent two weeks with the
son who was working in a muni-
tion plant, and left him last
Wednesday, apparently in the
best of health; but on Friday ev-
ening, he suffered an attack of
appendicitis, which rapidly de-
veloped into a bad case of peri
tonitis, and death came Sunday
morning.
His remains were brought to
the home of his father southeast
corner of First and Walnut on
Tuesday evening from which
place the funeral was held yes
terday morning, Rev. Edward
Jackson, of the M. E. Church
officiating, and interment was
made in Union cemetery.
The deceased was a son of John
V. and Agnes Hixson Stouteagle,
and he was born in McConnells-
burg August 9, 1898; hence he
was aged 20 years 6 days. Be-
sides his father and stepmother,
he is survived by one brother and
two sisters: Amos H., at Camp
Colt, Gettysburg; Olive, wife of
Frank Daniels, Philadelphia; and
Miss Marden, Pittsburgh, Pa.

Sinking the Austrian Peace Guns.

Splklng the AUSTRIAN feace uuhS.
The prompt manner in which
President Wilson has handled the
Austrian note is in the highest
degree refreshing, Half an hour
after he had received the official
copy he made it known to the
whole world what his answer
would be.
"The government of the Unit
ed States feels that there is only
one reply which it can make to
the suggestion of the Imperial
Austro. Hungarian Government.
1t has repeatedly and with entire
candor stated the terms upon
which the United States would
consider peace and can and will
entertain no proposal for a con-
ference upon a matter concern
ing which it has made its position
and purpose so plain" "
That is the answer one
delayed, but immediate and to
the point. 1t takes the wind out
of the sails of every pacifist,
whether in the United States or
abroad. 1t serves notice in
Vienna and Berlin that this Ma
ton is not going to be swerved
one fraction of an inch from the
course it has been pursuing. 1t
sets the pace for the Allied gov
ernments in London, Paris and
Rome.
What does it mean, this ans
wer? Austria knows very well
what it means. Germany also
knows. There will be no confer
ences around a table with an un
conquered autocracy. The terms
of peace are in the hands of the
Huns-have been for a along time.
These terms demand release from
oppression of subject peoples and
the end of governments which
are a menace to the world
When Germany and Austria get
ready to accept these terms,
there will be peace. In other
words, there must be uncondi-
tional surrender by force of arms
or surrender under the conditions
laid down by the President.
And nothing else will do.
The game o f the HIM militar
lists has been perfectly appar
ent. 1t is to induce their people
to believe that the enemy is seek
ing their destruction; that tht
war is one of self defense; tha
the enemy cannot win, and thai
when the Allies realize this the!
will be eager to make peace;
German peace. furthermore, tn,
game includes the hurling o
peace propaganda bombs upol
all occasions. The. offer of Aus
tria was the beginning of tn,
campaign. But Austria has beef
met at the outset and informed
that nothing short of surrende
will be accepted. Her guns hav
} been spiked.
And splendidly have they beel
spiked-spiked on the instant
Nothing is left for the Huns t
do but to agree to the Presi
dents terms or fight on to thei
> inevitable defeat. For his de
, feat is as sure as is the rising o
