PEACE THROUGH VICTORY

TNiE Supreme War Council at Versailles
has spotted the niger in -thcwoodpilc.
1t would be absurd to accept the more or
less liberal uttcranccs from Austria as in.
dicativc Of policies different from those of
Germany.
We fight but one enemy, Pan.Gcrmany
n Germany that dominates absolutely all
its rassals. They mako 10 statements
which Berlin does not approve. They arc
used TO bait traps "AIade In Germany"
is stamped on every uttcrance that comes
from Central Europe. The Supreme War
Council Is in no doubt. 1t knows and
understands. Its conclusion, therefore, is
that the war must go on. Students of con-
ditions have never doubted that peace can
be won in only one way and that is by
decisive military victory. A negotiated
peace would be a German peace in present
circumstances.

THE HUNT FOR ALIEN GOLD

COME Of the alien enemies who are being
~ compelled to register at police stations

sign up as technically hostile to the United
States, saying they felt no hostility what.
ever. But surely they ought TO realize that
tho leniency and good nature that have been
shown to enemy nationals here are without
precedent in a nation at war. and they
who profess friendship should be the first
ones to ask to be registered. In no other
way can they prove good intentions so well
as by demanding an impartial securing of
the alien population so that not one black
sheep shall get away" with anything.
Nearly everybody has at least one friend
or acquaintance who before April . was
more or less pro-German. 1t has enriched
our experience and confirmed our faith in
democratic principles to observe the con-
version that took place in them as they
perceived how well the American Govern.
ment maintained a high plane to which
the thought Of vengeance IS unknown.
They know the German autocracy's cause
is hopeless. Only those who can be bought
will attempt violence. We know that Ger
man gold can be distributed to plotters. II
is to combat the cause of that gold that the

bad eggs in every race. Let the aliens
remember this: An American traitor would

"a FORTUNE IN

Sitting of Cinders Will Save a
Considerable Amount of

To the Editor of the Ercning Public Ledger:

To the Editor Of The Evening Public Ledger:
Sir--At this time when there IS SO much
suffering from the shortage of coal | wish
TO call your attention to the enormous waste
Of hard coal throughout the entire city,
principally among the individual house,
holders and small users of coal of the
various sizes, amounting to as much as from
one-tenth to one-third of the entire supply
brought into the city. The most casual in
spection of the ash cans and boxes set out
on the street for the ash man to cart away
is sufficient TO verify this statement. 1t is
also apparent where Jumps of unburncd coal
are seen in the ashes thrown out on the lev
pavements. There is not so much waste
where hard coal is carefully used for steam
purposes in factories or large office build.

The army went on the water-wagon when

 As he crossed the wooden pave ment, a sudden gleam caught his eye; there at his feet it lay, the coveted thing-The Button
 He stood turning it over and over in his hand. A little flag with four blue bars; it stirred him deeply. strangely, that bright bit of metal.
 He began to feel the things it stood for; it made him think of a medal he once wore, holy thing, his own treasure. The medal that was all he had ever known of a mother, and now his soul was being stirred again by a cheap bit of metal, and the thought came to him dimly that things are not what they seem, but what they stand for
 Pat fingered the button irresso- lutely moment, then looking about to see that he was not observed, slipped the pin into the lapel of his coat and went away.

words that struck him sharp and hard
 "Patriotism-Sel respect" Pat had no one belonging to him lover there," in fact he had no one
 belonging to him anywhere; love had no part in his life at all, not even love of booze, for that was habit but Pat was Irish, and he had a feeling that was not love, for Eng
 land; this too was the habit-habit of thought.
 Some things he had heard tonight
 made his thoughts move on little
 lack of use, the, wheels of his mind could still turn when jostled out of their usual lethargy.
 There had been something said about what would happen if the Allies WERE TO LOSE; Pat had heard a drunken Irishman once say that he'd rather live under German
 rule than British, but the Colonel
 had told them few things tonight about German rule that didn't sound good to Pat, besides it wasn't 8 question of German rule or English here, it was a question of these free
 United States in which he lived and
 of which he was citizen. He forgot about the Sim Feiner'.
 when he thought what it would
 mean to have HohenZollern in the White House; perhaps that dirty
 dog" of a Crown Prince-and Wood
 row Wilson, the President, what
 would they do to him? Of course
 the whole idea was preposterous
 there was no use getting excited
 about it, we were going to WIN. What was that the Colonel had
 said about "every man must do his part?' Then his mind fastened
 upon one thought and stayed there--
 the button--"the emblem of Liberty
 Patriotism, and self respect-it would
 make him feel like a man again.
 The lonely booze fighter stumbled away from the window; he was stirred by these uncomfortable thoughts his throat felt dry and 1t
 occurred to him to try again for his
 usual form of comfort.
 Turning down hide street he met
 little party hurrying home; man
 was talking of the speech; the light
 struck something shining on his
 coat; something bright and new; the gleam caught Pats eye; it was the Button.
 Pat shuffled along behind them 1 listening; the woman had her hand
 on the mans arm, and she spoke toe l low for Pat to hear, but the answer
 was clear-"thats the way I felt about it, if we have to give up that little trip we can buy another bond.
 The children, too, were chattering
 the little girl was much excited over
 birthday party, where the gifts
 had been thrift stamps instead ol
 toys. Pat muttered few cuss words
 beneath his breath, and disappeared
 down an alley towards the water | front.
 | After a few minutes he reappeared further down the street, feeling more depressed than ever. The town was certainly bone dry that night, and
