THE PEACEMAKER
The Slave Of Liberty

The last poem Of Joyce Kilmer Of the
| New York National Guard. 1t reached
Mrs. Kilmer a few days before news Of
his death in action.
Upon his will he binds a radiant
chain.
For Freedoms sake he is no longer
free.
1t is his task, the slave of Liberty,
With his own blood to wipe away a
stain.
That pain may cease he yields his
flesh to pain.
To Danish war he must warrior
He dwells in night eternal dawn to
see,
And gladly dies abundant life TO gain
What matters death, II Freedom be
not deadl
No flags are fair, if Freedoms flag
be furled.
Who fights for Freedom goes with
joyful tread
To meet the fires of hell against
him hurled,
And has for Captain, Him whose
thorn-wreathed head
Smiles from the Cross upon a con-
quered world.

COMMON-SENSE WARNING

AS we go to the printers with
this issue, two weeks ahead of
the date it bears, the Manufac-
turers Record warns US that the
Kaiser's peace talk is a more eff
fective enemy offensive than
German guns and the German
will to conquer, because it con-
centrates the attention of war
weary people upon peace, and
weakens the will Of an outraged
world to take the war into Ger

man territory and to beat Ger

many to her knees.
And also--that it is the
shrewdest possible defensive
movement left to Germany as
her beaten armies stagger back
to the Rine. OF course, the
Kaiser would like beyond any
thing thinkable to mass his six
million soldiers on shortened lines
safe behigd his own borders, and
give the collapsed soul of Ger
many a chance to recover itself in
a heroic defense of the Father
land; to prolong the war indefi-
nitely and to offer Christdom a
choice between universal bank-
ruptcy on the one hand, or peace
on terms satisfactory to Ger
many on the other
The war is not not ut an end
because the Hun cries peace,
The South was beaten at Get
tysburg and Vicksburg in July,
'63 but the johnny Rebs fought on
for q months longer witha hero
smunsurpassedinhuman history.
If only the Germans had the grit
of Lees ragged vetera IS this
war could 60 on ten years more.
A weak little nation like the
Beers fought a defensive war
long enough to threaten a great
empire with insolvency. And
strong nation like Germany could,
as a matter of fact if given a
chance fight on defensively un-
til the whole of civilization falls
into wreck and ruin.
And Germany must not be
given the chance.
Her armies must be destroyed
this side of the Rhine. Her bord-
er cities must be RACED to the
ground, just as Louvain and
Rheims and a hundred other
cities have been battered out of
existence by German guns. Not
as an act of ve2eance but as a
form of speech the German mind
is capable of understanding.
A peace dictated in the imper-
ial palace at Potsdam, not a peace
negotiated around a green baize
table in some neutral county, is
the only lasting peace possible.
The allies have chance to set
tie the issues of the war in the
next sixty days, and perhaps end
it with just and honorable peace
by Christmas day.
But not if the bowstrings of he
ORIG will in US are weakened by
the Kaiser's peace talk.
And not if we withhold the
billions needed to pound the Ger
man soul into submission. The

The old adge of taking about all

that Canada is not hospital to A

tries Of North America. Anyway
It's entirely without foundation.

Americans We're not graciously re-

is Are you a genuine American .

are wide open and the country is
yours. If she stops to question
those who knock at her doors she
is doing no more than we are.

PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis Of Food Saving
Showed Heart of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri-
fee of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale Of the Allied ar
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit Of service and sac
rifice will depend Europe's fate in the
months to come. In the past year we

Iyond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come. with
the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead of 1890
1000 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons of food to Europe In the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
II the Allies had not been fed by
America, it would have been impos-'
sible for them 10 maintain their de-
Tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on a purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have concluslveIy proved that democ-
,racy is success ano that in time OF
need it will rise to its own defense.
If there were no other accomplish
ment to its credit the very fact that it
has shown the strength of democracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence of the Food Administration
in the eyes of the world
+ Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem Old basis. OF voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
Irresistible.
"AIany thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover, and the whole world
have been watching anxiously the last
four months in the fear that demo-
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that it could not DO
done. Contrary proof Is Immediately |
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to !
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently in many di-
rections and upon the mere word of
aside from the remarkable
assemblage of our Army and finances" /
The history of the Food Admlnistra-
ton has clearly shown that the trust
of those who put their faith In democ-
racy has not been misplaced.
