TIE PEACE OUR sOEDfRs ii /
WANT--THE PEACE OUR
WAR H. MOTHERS WANT

The Stars and Stripes, the official
newspaper published by the soldiers
of the American Expeditionaray
Forces in France, says editorially
about the enemy peace offensive: ri
"Let the weak hearted who are
dreaming of compromise; let the
pacifists who are talking peace by
agreement; let the sideliners who
have had enough of war; let the
secretly inclined pro-Germans who
think this war should end without a
decision let them one and all know
once and for all that for the Ameri-
can Expiditionary forces there is no
such word as peace" with the Huns
unbeaten. The man who talks of
peace today except thru victory, is
q traitor"
The enemy peace offensive is
likened to the action of German ma
chine gun crews in the Vesle fight
ing, when they fought and killed
Americans until they were sur
rounded, then shouted 'Kamerad."
The mothers of the American sill
diers in France want the same peace
their sons demand. All the courage
o ( the ancient SPARTAN mother Is in
the hearts of the women of America.
The object Of the fourth liebrty
loan is to bring that pdace---a just
peace, righteous peace, an Ameri-
can peace.

Enemy Will Now Have

Thirty Miles to Get
a Suitable Defense;
Americans Gain All
Objectives on Meuse.

PARIS, Oct. 15.-The entire Ger
man front from st. Gobain to the Ar
gonne has cracked on a sixty-mile
front, and it now appears that the
enemy will be forced to retreat to
depth Of some thirty miles before
finding a suitable line Of defense. AT
the best, his position will be menaced
at its flanks on the Disc to the am
bre canal from Ribemont to Land
reoies. which lines are very near the
Belgian frontier. There will be moth
ing here like the enemy's strong de-
fenses on the Hindenburg line.
Between the Disc and Berry-au-
Bac the seventh German army has
been forced to abandon the line of
the Ailette, retiring its right in the
forest at St. Gobain. n

AT 10 o'clock the king mounted the
platform and said the keys Of the

all masks came OFF, with the usual
amount Of fun and surprises when
the dancers looked about to see who

The music for the dance was fur

that was settled in a moment. A

NEIGHBOR CRITICIsEs ALFRED

Andrew Anderson of Thomas said
Saturday evening that he is not a
member Of the Non-partisan league,
and not in sympathy with what they
are doing, but that when he read ALI
reds letter criticising the league and
speaking Of stopping payment on his
membership check, he wondered IL
Alfred gave the same kind of a
check to the league organizer that he
gave as initial payment on his fourth
liberty bond purchase recently. If
so, there would be no trouble in STOP
ping payment. He wrote on the
check, mot negotiable until funds
arrive" and the salesman did not
observe the clause until he went to
transfer it. He thinks that In fair
ness to the league and to the liberty
loan, Alfred ought to come again and
tell people what kind of checks he
made In both cases.
Speak up Mr.. Alfred!
