No room here for different

America as a christian nation

QUESTION NO. 1
The states-graphic. (Brownsville, Tenn.) 1???-1984, 1918-10-11
LEAVE 1T TO WILSON.

While the kaiser rattles his sword
IN front of his soldiers, boasts of their
superiority, and states in his bragga-
docian manner that he has decided
"cnce more to offer peace to the en-
emy," the whole world knows that he
is simply playing for time with the
hope that while the ENJOYS are dis
cussing peace terms, he may be able to
reft his army, get another supply of
munitions and be ready to go on with
The fighting next spring.
This, too, is his method of interior
ing with our FOURTH LIBERTY
LOAN, thinking that some weak
kneed people will make. "peace pros
poets" an excuse for not doing their
duty in response to this urgent call of
their government.
The allies viii never consider peace
on the kaiser's terms. Germany will
lever be in position to ask for terms
so long as her armies or those of her
allies occupy territory other than their
own. Let them first loosen their grasp
On Rumania and get out of Belgium,
Northern France, Italy, Russia and the
Balkans.
What the allied nations want is to
see the Hohenzollerns and the Haps-
llrgs torn from their pedestal of au-
The states-graphic. (Brownsville, Tenn.) 1???-1984, 1918-10-11

,hority with victorious allied army
in Berlin. Germany win never know
the meaning Of defeat as she should It'll
aer proud domains shall feel the grind
i-g heel Of the eonqueror. She needs
big dose of her own medicine. The
German nation should be brought in
humiliation and suffering to see tn
error of its way and should be forced
to come on Bonded knee, asking, not
for justice, for there is no human
means of administering justice for the
crimes which she has committed, but
begging for mercy.
They are not in that humor yet, and
for this reason the time has not yet
come for treating with them, or rather
Passing sentence on them.
Our people must not be deceived.
Let US follow where Woodrow Wilson
leads. At the present time BUY,
.. ONDSand then BUY MORE BONDS
SAVE and CONTINUE TO SAVE for
cur army and our allies. Leave all
this talk of peace to those in autEori-
ty. They, and thay alone know when
and how to make peace with Germany.
1t looks now like the war may end
within a year or so. If this comes true
i will be because there is no let-up on
our part. More soldiers, more NUM-
lions of war, and more food must be
poured into France. This is the only
way to get that peace for which we
are fighting and anything short of
what we started out to accomplish will
be failure.
Our duty is simply to be TRUE
IN THE LINE OF DU-
TY, ready to work and fight and suf-
fer until Woodrow Wilson and those
associated with him in authority shall
say Enough, rest on your arms!"

BARGAIN PRICES.

Even at this date st. Mihiel is little
more than a name to most of US.
We know that General Pershing won
victory there, and that the operations
were carried out almost entirely by
Americans. Perhaps we know that
152 square miles were restored to
France and that the forces employed
were incredibly few in proportion to
the extent of the gains.
But we are without the intimate

cal calculator. Pershing's line moved
like clockwork because his equipment
was nearly perfect; hence the surpris-
ingly low casualty list. The dollars
that bought the maps, telephone wires
and other supplies saved American
lives.
