In Memory Of Mary A. Reckman

Like thunGerOolt from cloudless
sky was the shock when the sad news
came announcing the death of Mrs.
Mary Augusta Beckman. wife of
Charles T. Beckman, who died at her
home Tuesday night, just before the
midnight hour, March 5. 1918, aged As
years, 9 months and 26 days. She was
a member of the Lutheran church. She
was kind and loving wife and mother
and splendid neighbor. always ready
to lend a helping hand. Those who
knew her are deeply grieved at her
death, which saddened so many people.
She leaves an aged father, husband,
five daughters, one small son and many
relatives and friends to monrn their
loss. Mrs. Beckman had been in i'll
health some weeks ago but seemingly
had improved and was visiting and car
ing for sick neighbor only little over
a week before her death. Sad indeed
was the parting hour. She called each
member that was at home to her bed
side and urged them to live earnest
Christian lives and meet her in the great
beyond. She also left comforting words
for the absent ones should they come
too late that she herself could not tel
them. Death came not as conqueror
but as sweet release. The end came
quietly and peacefully.
Funeral services were conducted al
the North Glade church by her pastor,
Rev. j. L. Marvin, assisted by Rev.
McCamic.
A FRIEND.

A GERMAN PEACE.

Here is grim warning to the nations
of the world from the kaiser:
The German sword, welded by our
great army leaders, has brought peace
with Russia.
What kind of peace has the German
sword brought to Russia? The only
kind of peace that the German sword
can bring. 1t is peace that has bereft
Russia of her western PROVINCES; bereft
her of her great ports on the Baltic;
bereft her of Finland; bereft her of the
Ukraine; bereft her of Batoum, Kars
and Karabaugh; bereft her of her COM
mercial freedom by binding her as
newer of wood and carrier of water to
Germany for many years to come.
That is what German peace has
done for Russia Now the German
sword is carving out the same kind of
peace for Roumania-a peace that shall
deprive Roumania of territory. q peace
that shall place ring of steel around
Roumania's throat.
What will be the next peace that the
German sword is raised to bring to a
fighting nation? Will the next blow
fall upon Italy? Will Italy be deprived
of Venetia, saddled with a heavy in
demnlty, tied to the German chariot of
victory for triumphal procession
through the Brandenburg Gate? For
Italy signal act of vengeance and hu-
initiation is contemplated. The kaiser
has declared it. A peace brought to
Italy by the German sword would be
bitter peace.
Or will France-courageous, stead
fast. epic France-be the next victim
of peace that shall darken the lives
and embitter the souls of generations
of Frenchmen, descendants of the brave
legions who are now holding the fury of
German imperialism back from the
smiling field of France?
The world heard of German peace.
1t now knows what German peace is.
1t is peace that spells dismemberment
and suffering and humiliation. 1t is a
peace that would impose heavy woke
upon the necks of unborn millions of
men.
That is the only kind of peace that
the German sword is capable of bring
ing. 1t is the sort of peace that the
world is fighting and will fight to the
end. 1t is the sort of peace that Ameri-
ca has entered the war to prevent.
We have been in the war nine months
and it has been going on three years,
and still some folks seem to think it is
to be won by speech.
