SMASH THE HUN!

"HESE are crucial days for Ger
many and her allies, but they
are no less crucial for the United
States and those who are lighting
with us for the suppression OF the
Beast of Berlin.
The weak and unsatisfactory re-
ply of Germany to President Will
sons note, proposing peace on i'm
possible terms, trying to lie out of
German atrocities on land and sea,
forsaking the German submarine
murderers to trial by neutral gov
ernments for carrying out German
government orders, betraying Aus
tria-Hungary and Turkey by efforts
toward separate peace to save Ger
many, illustrates the point. The note
is based on falsehood and consists
largely of subterfuge. 1t is designed
to prolong discussion with a view of
peace by negotiation. 1t shows Ger
many to be in desperate straits try
ing to save her own skin at the ex-
pense of ours. The note should have
no answer, unless it be summed I'D
in the two words-"unconditio
surrender"
Germany Is not only losing her
men; she is losing millions of dollars
worth of war munitions and sun
plies and, staggering under the
pounding of Marshal Foch and his
splendid armies, the foe is showing
everywhere signs of physical and
mental distress.
Germany can only hope now to
destroy the morale of her oppo-
nents at home and in the field
through persistent peace discussion.
An attempt will also be made by the
Berlin government to bolster up the
discouraged people of Germany by

SiX-day bicycle races are usually

FREE TRADE?

The Democratic Party is COM
mitted to a free trade policy. In
the fourteen terms in President
Wilson's peace program, stated to
congress January sth. the third
clause reads:
THE removal, as far as possible,
of all economic barriers and the es-
tablishment of an equality of trade
conditions among all nations con-
senting to the peace and associat-
ing themselves for it's maintenance"
This is a positive declaration that
the treaty of peace must guarantee
to Germany free trade nth the
United Stares without any tariff
safeguards whatever to protect the
American laborer. manufacturers,
farmer and business man from for
eign competition in his home mar
kets.
Under such a policy Germany will
buy raw materials in the United
States, manufacture these materials
in German2, and sell the manufac-
tureG products in American mar
kets in competition with similar
products Made in America" by
American manufacturers, without
the slightest tariff restriction for the
protection o, American labor, busi-
ness and farming.
No one doubts that in an open
unrestricted American field Germany
with her cheaper labor, will be able
to dominate markets for many man
ufactured products in the United
States. and will drive similar Amer
lean products out of those markets,
with the ruin of American manu-
facturers ai.d harm to American
labor swiftly following.

might" and such an attitude upon
the part of the Berlin government
simply emphasizes the great danger
OF negotiation with this obsessed
and tricky power. Denying German
cruelties and insisting that the u
poat warfare is a necessity are Sig
nifcant straws showing the direc-
ton of the Berlin wind.
Everything that has occurred
since the recent peace proposal was
lnaugurated demonstrates anew the
hopelessness of dealing with Ger
many on the usual diplomatic basis.
An absolute unconditional surrender
is the only way to bring about a
Just and righteous peace. These
CRIMINALS must not be permitted to
escape through negotiation or by
the acceptance of terms of their
own making. Indemnities, restor-
alton of stolen territory, readjust-

any peace.
Germany is tottering and her
powers of resistance are failing on
all sides. America and her allies
Will stand firm for a peace without
compromise or subterfuge OF any

went out and sold to the residents
of Harrisburg more than $4,000, 600

The Republican party has never

to the electorate.
Free trade, absolute and complete,
with all its tremendous ills, looms

A Republican House and Senate,
elected in November, would be a

tariff disaster would be prevented.
A Republican Senate would never
agree to a treaty of peace giving

In commenting upon the condi-
ton brought about on the Philadel-
phia municipal court bench by the
death of Judge Bernard Gilpin, the
Philadelphia Press refers to deaths
of other judges and then remarks:
"A fourth is campaigning through
the state as Democratic candidate
for governor while the taxpayers are
assessed $4,000 year for his salary
and perhaps $4,000 more for the
annual expenses of his court, al
though he is not within reach to give
any attention to the details of liti-
cation or to assist his colleagues in
reaching their Decisions. AS a mat
ter of common knowledge, Judge
Bonniwell has never ceased his per-
nicious partisanship in politics since
becoming a judge, and this has been
one of the crying 2andals of the
unfortunate municipal court"
The extent to which influenza
has been affecting affairs in Phila-

it is to be Lehighton, Bellefonte and

front. First came the peace pro-
posal which was rejected by the
President and we may expect that
the note writing will continue so
long as Berlin has any encourage

1t is to the interest of Germany
to prolong these discussions In the
hope of being able to withdraw her
armies to a shorter line, with view
to a determined resistance on the
bank of the Rhine. 1t is because
of this obvious policy of our enemy
that the writing of notes should
