Views of the VigiIantes
SCOT FREE,
By Ellis Parker f:utier.

For months Germany has been rot ting behind Ter Western front Even before this is printed she may crum- ble and fall to dust. I think she is like a rat in a hole, showing Q mouth full of fangs, able still to snap and bite, but with her whole body rotted and dried anl shriyelled and ready to collapse at ;t touch. She is all war like head, and back of the head is nothing but the dried carcass ready to disintegrate.
 The blows lHoch is giving Germany will cause the final collapse, l hope, but in thinking Germany is so near the collapse i have mentioned l may be wrong. Back of the fanged head may be a body that only needs peace to regain it's strength an,I normal vi- tality. It may be that peace will mean 1 Germany reborn in strength and pride and approval
 In that case what are We going to do about the murdered Eelgians, the ruined towns of fair France and the hideousness Germany has spread ev- 1 anywhere in Northern Europe? What are we going to do abou: the lives o1 Americans her piracy on the seas has | cut short? What are we going to dc { about the boys whose lives we have i naQs to SaCfillce to make the WOrlC 1 decent again? Are we going to le Germany say I've had enough! I've 1 quilted myself with murder and pira- i cy and rapira. I've made desert O 1 fair lands and ruins of fair cities tt

UNITY ON ARMisTlcE TERMS.

Althou-h the terms of the armistice fer Germany have not been disclosed there is of course no small amount of satisfaction to be gained from the an- nouncement that there is a unanimous agreement on the part or the allied representatives relative to the de- mands. This shows that the allies are as thoroughly united upon this ques- ton as they have been upon other problems Of ihe war and means that tner have fully understood the i'm nortance of standing soh1ly together uVon this vital matter as they have or placing the control Of the armies un- der one head.
 This cannot fail to be of much sig rificance to Germany. for there are reasons 10 believe that it had figured nOt . little upon the possibilities of a split taking place between the allies ever details relative 10 an armistice. and that advantage might accrue to it through such a division.
 There was no reason to anticipate such thing from the standpoint ot the allies. They have been firmly Of he opinion that there could be no leniency shown 10 Germany, that if necessary the war should go on until Germany is brought to the allied terms md by the harmonious result Of the conference for the drawing up of the armistice terms it is evident that there has been no change
 How Germany can hope to gain anything by refusing the terms. hard though they may be. is impossible tc see. It is fighting alone and against grea; odds and the only logical course with all things considered is for 1t tC accept even as it's allies have done.

THE ELECTION RESULTS.

lt takes the election to bring out the uncertainties of the great game of politics but the contest in this state on Tuesday demonstrated that in spite of the appeal Of the president for the support of only democrats the vot- CTS took into consideration services which have been faithfully ana eff ciently rendered and returned to office for his third term Governor Hoicomb and at the same time gave endorse ment to the work done by the Con necticut representatives by returning them to office. As was expected the general assembly at the next session will be in the hands of the republicans.
 Locally the election was a pro- aounced democratic victory, through tho assistance which was given by inc republican voters. giving evidence that here as well as at otaer points in the county and state the patriotic appeal Of the president had carried weight.
 Throughout the country the earl returns indicated that there had beer some important gains by the republi cars in both houses of congress though 1t will require the full vote! rather than the incomplete figures tt determine what the real result is. Tc get control in tho senate if is neces. sary for the republicans to get fvt new seats while all republicans wonlr have to be returned and nine new one elected 10 secur tn majority in tht house. While the endorsement of tn democratic candidates by the presi dent accomplished results in some in stances there are others where it wa. disregarded by the voters with indica tions pointing strongly to nationa republican victory.

COMPLETE SUBMISSION.

As was to be expected the terms of ihe armistice which has been signed with Austria Hungary are every Dit IS thorough and severe as in the case If Bulgaria and Turkey. It was Of rourse what was to be expected and certainly there was no reason for dealing with the dual monarchy any more lightly than with the other countries
 The effect of the armtstice Is to render Austria Hungary powerless as far as any resumption of the war is concerned, by forcing it to turn over Its navy. demobilize it's armies. give up the control of the railroads to the allies. withdraw from points in ami on the Adriatic thus placing that sea entirely in the hands of the al- lies, evacuate the territory claimed by Italy withdraw its troops from the French front, turn over or dismantle certain Actresses which will allow free use of the Danube, release the prisoners without the allies doing tht same and permit the allies to use whatever territory is necessary to car ry on operations against Germany.

Not, of course, that 1 want to go much, only I wisht there was somebody that stayed home like us, on account of their fathers being in war work.

He says his aunt's up and made 2,0O0 sandwiches a week since he came. :.

 "Oh. it aint for him." Bobby laughed Its for the girls picnics and things and his aunt says he's rude if he won't go, so, of course, he has to-"

UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN.

The united war work campaign is already on in this city, opening in ad- vance of the designated week because of the desire to get the soliciting done early and be able to announce on the opening day that the entire quota for Norwich has been raised. This is the same plan which was adopted in many cities and even states in connection with the fourth Liberty loan and it is recalled with what elation such cities not only reported the raising Of their quota but what encouragement 1t gave to the rest of the country.
 This campaign for $l70.O00, 900 is be- Ing conducted in behalf or seven ov- 9anizations all of which are carrying on a most worthy work. They are looking after the welfare of the men abroad and doing their utmost to cover every phase of the situation that the boys over there may be provided with he necessities which are not likely .o be obtained through other channels, shat they may be given the proper moral support and that they may feel, as far as it is possible, that home in tiuences have not been denied
 No one can or will question the value of the help which they have al- ready received from these organiza- lions. Their letters home tell the story, and it is of the greatest import ance that the funds should be pro- Fided for the continuance of this &C., tirity. this necessary work upon which so much dependence is placed
 That the entire sum will be raised mere ought to be no question. The country is going to stand by it's men and in that work Norwich is going to do it's part gladly and generously.

This not only gives the allies a big advantage through lessening the number of ere- mics and the length of the battle fronts, but it gives them the oppor- tunity of threatening Germany with an attack from a direction for which it is not prepared.
