BRING Ex-kAisER TO JUSTICE,

In time we will probably know the real reason for the flight Of William Hohenzollern to Holland. One report has it that he was on his way 70 sur render to the allies when the revolu- tionists blocked his way and forced him to go into Holland. The general impression is that he took this course in order to escape the consequences which were likely to attend the trend e events in Germany. that he was concerned with his personal safety and desired 10 get to some haven where it would be impossible to reach hlm.
 It cannot and will not be the dispo- sition of the allied nations to permit him to escape the penalty which should be exacted in his case. He has been the instigator and leader In all the trouble which has been caused in connection with the past four and 2 half years of war He set up his am bitten ahead of everything else and made a desperate effort to see that it was accomplished. He was the direct ing head and therefore ;he most re- SlJOLolblE- Ilt NadoCu llLtOCl y than the world has ever experienced before at one time. and satisfaction can never be secured until he is brought to justice
 There cannot be. and it is not be- l1eyed that there is. any disposition tC allow him to escape. It is possible as las been pointed out by those ~ersei in international law to secure his de. livery by Holland in case it beccmet necessary. It would be wrong to over look what he has done. Leriency can not be tolerated in. this direction ant the awakening which is taking place
 tn Germany indicates that this sam' attitude will be taken there as well ai
 in the rest of the world. The creates criminal of the present day cannot b. overlooked.

JUST WHAT WAS NEEDED.

The fact that the terms of the armis- tice have been made to include many things which it might seem under or -dinary circumstances could have been left for the peace conference simply shows that the most serious considera- tion was given to every phase of the war situation. The fact is that if was no ordinary circumstance under which the appeal was made for the armis-ice terms. Consequently it was necessary 10 act in accordance there with.
 The armlstice terms are of course Q not the peace terms. The acceptance and signing Of Ihe 2rmistice doesn't relieve in any degree the work which will be required around the peace ta- 'hle. They have. however. been made particularly drastic and extensive in order 10 make it impossible for Ger many TO use the time between the hour when the armistice went into effect and the signing of peace for the purposes Of making further resistance. Rendered powarless in this direction by tying it hand and foot, and by the situation which has since deveioped m Germany as q result thereof. it means or course that there can be no thought of standing out against the allied nations
 lt probably will be some time before it will he possible to open such q corfcrence as will be necessary to de- -terminc the peace conditions, but :n fhc meantime thoughts must be di- rected in Germany towards the recon struction period rather than toward the building ID and restoring Of it's war machine. That is as it should be. That is as 1he war council which drafted the armistice terms wants it 'c he but only by rendering the ene- my impotent could the desired prog ress be made in that direction. By being drastic the armisLce fnsures the end.

BOOST THE WAR WORK FUND.

Norwich did not go over the top ths first day of the united war work campaign. It secured 10000 or two fifths of its quota in the drive for the S17o500, 900 sought throughout the country. That there may have been some relaxation of effort in order to participate in the iellifcation over the signing of the armistice and the end ing of the fighting is highly probable, but there remains the rest of the week in which not only the greatest effort should be made by the solici- tors to reach the goal but during these days everyone who has not been ap- preached should come forward with their support. The cause is beyond question a most vital one
 The country made a noble response when it came to the matter of pro- vidins the funds which the nation re- Quired in order to secure the needed war material for the fighting forces, on lund and sea. Our soldiers ard sail ors have made inc greatest sacrifice They have accomplished wonderful re- suits and contributed materially to the SHOTIenlDS pI the War ana JNe DftnS- ing about Of the victorious ending That the country is gratified coul1 nave been shown in no better way than by the all day celebrations whicI took place.
 But there is every reason why this qualification should not be limited tC celebrations. It is a time when ii should take material form and thi. can he done without any hardship; upon our part by seeing that the nee essary funds which are required fn, the comfort and entertainment of thu boys over there are provided T. means slight sacrifice on our part everyone responds, and certainly ther' should be no one amongst us who i. not anxious to give to his limit.

TIE CALL FOR HELP.

! Gt may cause some surprise that appeals are already coming from Ger gnany 10 this country asking for it's assistance in furnishing food supplies that the starvation of millions nnav he prevented. hut if it is so it is only because Germany has consistently maintained that it was able 10 take rare of all it's requirements in this di- rcction
 What Germany is doing is only what fne nations which were formerly as- Sociated with it have done. The con ditions in them all are the same There Is the civil population which is bound to feel the effect Of the exhaustion of resources. They are due 10 suffer as the result of the military policy which has been carried out. so that while it asks for mercy in this respect it Is bnly natural and it is in keeping with the new conditions, that an appeal Should be made for the early arrange ment of the peace terms that this Threatened danger may be avoided or the more quickly overcome.
 In this connection it is not improb- able that sensible action will be taken. Because we have been dealing with Huns does not mean that we are going to acquire their temperament. The allied supreme war council has gwen assurance that everything pos sible in the circumstances will be done % prevent misery and distress, and it vas we'll pointed out by President Wilson in his latest address to con tress that Hunger does not breed re- ;orm. It breeds madness and all the Ugly distempers that make an ordered life impossible"
 . It will not be because Germany has seen disposed to show any such con- sideradon during the war. but be- cause we are unwilling to sink to Ger man levels. that steps will be taken 5o relieve distress in central Europe

And on the result whereby the next congress will De in the hands of the republicans it Is inclined to believe that on international questions no substantial party questions. no sub- stantial party difference has devei- oped in America and the president should be able to count to the end on his countrymen's support"
 Such an observation is unquestion- ably true. It is in accord with the view which has been taken by the American voters as expressed by their ballots last week. Records show that the republicans stood more sondly be- hind the president on some of the most important war measures than did members of his own party. and thus it is shown how hollow was the claim that there would be mfsin- depreciation of our action if the coun- try did not stand solidly by the dem- ocratic ticket. It was 8 campaign cry which appealed neither hsre nor abroad.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Exception to Statement About the
 Jews.

JSWSs
 MT Editor: Allowe me to express a few words regarding the lecture of Rev. Arthur r. Purkiss delivered at meeting of the Faith TrumbuH chap ter, D. A. R., as reported in your issue of Nov. I.
 Speaking of the Russian Bolsheviki and American l. w. w. Rev. Arthur F. Purkiss expressed himself thus; Most of them are Russian Jews, and have a @rudge against learning and education and are in it for revenue only"
 Assuming that gentleman of his caibre bases his statement on undis- putabie facts his words, though of fensiVe, would not in themselves pro- yoke q feeling of protest. But the reason that his statement is contrary to the facts prompts me to ask you space for few lines.
 The proportion of Jews among tn Bolsheviki is very small The fact that Trotsky is of Jewish origin and possibly few more pseudo-Jews who are in that movement, does not justify a divinity student to say that most of the Bolsheviki arc Jews.' Among the social democratic and social-revolu- tionary parties, both strongly opposed to Bolshevism, you will find many Jewish leaders. Deitsch, Don and l AXerod in the former, Sternberg, Gatz, Minor, F'emdomisky and Robino- vich in the latter. Furthermore, M Nenover, also Jew, vice president of the cadet party, kept his wing on the side of the allies in opposition to the ] efforts of it's president, M. Mulikoff | who is a Gentle.
 I will also enlighten you on the fact that Einores not Trotsky is the leader of Russian Jewery. Are you aware that Henry Slosberg, another great 1 Jewish leader, was murdered by the 1 BolsheEiki and that Count Murbach 1 was assassinated by NJ Blumekin, a Jew? Also the one who shot at Lenine i is a Jewess. Miss Dora Kaplan l Nittsky, secretary of the Bolcheviki was killed by. a Jew named Komeges- ser. Is this not sufficient proof that the attitude of the Russian Jews tow ards Boishevism is negative?
 i You then turn to the American 1 Bolsheviki-the I. W. W Not being | able to discover a single Jewish name among them, you import one from l Russia, and you drag Trotsky to, the l front My dear, good reverend, why did you not bring in the whole com
 bination, Lenine Trotsky? You your l self do not want to be swayed by 1 prejudice and passion. and yet yot l dare not mention Lenine's name, be-
 cause he is not q Jew! You state 1 further that Trotsky has millions
 Does not Leqine have millions? Why ! do Trotsly's millions hurt you more 1 than Lenine's?
 1 Of the one hundred and one I. W l W.s convicted in Chicago, how many
 Jews do you find there? Who art l the Jews among the leaders or ranl 1 and file of the l. W. w? Is Quinlin 6 l Jew? Is Haywood a Jew? How many
 Jewish strikers did you find iI
 Bridgeport, that you feel so nervou:
 over it? We will go further than that 1 Conceding for the sake of argumen
 that there is Jew here or there con.
 nected with those organizations, doe,
 that justify man who is supposed

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The man on the corner says: Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
 Keeping pace with events means de- fiance of the speed laws just at the present time.
 Germany has apparently already made a strong get away toward i'm portant reformations.
 It is quite natural that the ex-kai- ser hasn't much to say now about the lightning trained Yankees.
 The former kaiser might have knowr before he started for Holland that he was bound to get in Dutch.
 With the boisheviki breaking away from it. Germany must indeed fee that it is out in the cold all alone.
 Of course those who have thought so much of Germany may soon have a chance to return and remain there
 Austria Hungary understands that it is possible for more than one re- public to spring up where none ex. isted before.
 Germany must be fully cognizant o the fact by this time that it has bee1 large contributor to the error 0 judgment column. Let your joy over the signing of th' armistice be manifested by geuerou! subscriptions to the war work fund The boys are certainly entitled t. them.
 By shortening the route to the east the opening of the Mediterranean i going to be of much assistance il getting supplies from that part of tn world
 As is often the ease on the Fourtl of July there were not a few wh found it utterly impossible to get ii | all the celebrating they wanted to d in one day.
 IL may be possible to stop the fittin of guns to ships in Canada but ther can be no such thing as a though of letting up in the work that is bein done for the boys in France. l The government cannot start an too quick the investigation of tn cases where people have been unjust ly drawing soldiers allowances an follow it up with prosecutions and re | cIamatinns.

to possess the best clements of ethics

to possess the best clements of ethics to use the term most?
 You surely cannot call American Bolsheviki the Jews of this country who have so faithfully responded to the country's cali, with heart, body and soul, and who have proven their patriotism at each opportunity. And we also hope that you do not include among the American Boisheviki the few hundred thousand Jewish soldiers and sailors of whom many have made the supreme sacrifice.
 As regards to Your remark that the Jews have a grudge against learning and education, we must confess that of all the attacks upon the Jews since early history this is the first and only one ever made by the people of the Book. We refer you to any school oi college for proof.
 We perfectly agree with you, how. ever, that religion is a cure of Bol- shevism, and because of that we-a people who have given religion to tht world-could not have Bolshevisn among us.

STORIES OF THE WAR
The Way They Do Things Over Ther


 Sergeant Lester S. Lowell of the Headquarters Company of the 103rd Field Artillery, had an attack of pneu- monia and was sent to q hospital in Southern France. Of his subsequent experience-lnd ancther's--he writes to his brother in Boston:
 After I left the hospital I went to Paris, and had a fine lime. Then went to the front and joined my outfit The second day I was there the officer asked me if I had gone to the replace ment camp. I told him, No I had come direct from the hospital Then he explained that it was necessary to go to the replacement camp always after coming out of hospital. So started travelling again. l returned to Paris and was there six days and then went to a place ill Central France. It was a big camp where they give everybody a physical examination After being there six days they sent us down here on a two days traiT ride to a big camp where we are re- equipped. I have been here about foul days now, but I don't like it for two reasons. I want to get back 10 the worl again and see all my own crowd ant get my mail and my pay. And the oth- CT reason IS FecauSe II. IS so not here I'll be leaving soon I know because I have drawn all new clothing ant equipment
 J want to tell you about a fellow here. He is an American, but when tht war got going he went to England ant enlisted in a Scottish regiment They probably knew he was an American but they winlled and signed him UT for three years. So he put on kilts anG went to war. He served three years and two months. He was in the frs gas attack (Ypres, 1a15) and has alsC fought in Egypt and Turkey. His reg iment was in London after his three years and two months were up. In thu meantime America had entered the war and there were recruiting office! in London. This man applied to hi! regimental commander for sl discharge but it was refused. One day he was given twenty four r-hour leave of ab sence. He went to the American re cruiting office and said he wished t ] join the army Mind you he was il i full uniform. kits and all, at the time He was shown in to a recruiting of 1 ficer He showed the officer papers t prove he was born in Aiatama.
