THE WAR MUST GO ON

it again. Prussianism must be crushed
completely.
This war must be fought until our
homes and loved ones can dwell in
peace and security. With President
Abraham Lincoln we say, Under God
| hope it will not end until that time.
German soldiers are still on the soil
of France. Belgium is in bonds. Italy
still has some territory unredecmcd
and the Balkan situation, although rap
idly improving from our viewpoint, is
not satisfactory.
When the peace conference is called
Germany must be PROSTATE, Austria
Hungary inpotent, and Turkey must
be cut off from any support from the
powers which, in name as well as in
fact, are our enemies.
When the peace conference is called
there must not be single German SOL
der in France, outside of a concentra-
ton camp for prisoners of war.
1t may sound like harsh conclu-
sion, but the judgment of the next
generation, and of generations to
come, will be less severe upon the
statesmen who willed to win and had
the courage to delay the day of peace,
than it would upon opportunists in
Office who compromised with the right.
The judgment of the next generation
will appraise the sacrifices of the pres
ent at their proper values. They will
be seen to have been made for great
and good purpose, That purpose will
be the peace and security of the new
day.

WHY AMERICANS HIT HARD

They knew that the United States
preserved it's neutrality with dignised
patience until the German government,
with cynical insolence, forced us TO
defend our national honor. Since their
arrival in France they have had first
hand evidence of the barbarous bru-
tality of the German troops and the
INSCRIPTIONS treachery Of the Ger
man government. They know that
the atrocities committed in Belgium
and France would be duplicated in this
country if the Teuton armies were able
to break through the allied lines. 1t
lis this knowledge that has resulted in
the fury of the American forward
drive, which caused a French officer
to exclaim: There is no other army
like the American! No such fanaticai
fighting men anywheret 1t is almost
la religious passion that permeates
their ranks. No wonder the boche has
had his morale badly shakeni''
And this fighting spirit is made irre-
sistible by the skin which Pershing's
men have acquired since they joined
the colors. There is no discipline
over here that compares with ours"
writes an American officer in France
Ia lieutenant -colonel--who has spent
mis- life in the regular army service.
"Our men have absorbed it. They
heard SO many lectures in the States
about the wonderful discipline over
here, They arrfvezI, took one look and
started in with American Characters
tic spirit to beat it--and they have.
They are self-diseiplined. They are
cleaner than anyone else; they salute
better, they work harder at learning
the various ways of fighting. They
are doing it voluntarily, and they have
passed their instructors"
These two tributes, If studied by the
German commanders, will help them
to understand why amateur soldiers"
from the United States have smashed
their way through Germany's best
shock troops And the boys Over
There who were lucky enough TO get
between the Huns and Paris are mere
ly the vanguard of millions. Kaiser
Wilhelm has lived to regret his IA
nous remark about "England's con-
temptiblc little army" He will have
occasion next spring to reflect, but not
at leisure, on Americas tremendously
big fighting force.

AMERICANS ARE BORN FIGHTERS

But men who dared the deep did not
stop at the waters edge. They went
across the wooded Aileghanies and
down wide rivers, across the endless
plains and up the sides of the mighty
Rockies, through the trackless deserts
until they came to tie picturesque
shores of the Pacific. The spirit Of
adventure that led men to this isn5
was developed by "The Frontier" and
became innate in our national charac
ter.
Daniel Boone, and Davie Crockett
we're more than brave men. They were
American types. Our country has had
many thousands Of them. Our fathers
and forefathers knew what it means to
depend entirely on their rifle for food,
on their logged perseverance for
water and on their courage for life.
They have slept under the wide canopy
of the heavens at night and shaken the
rain water from their faces in the
morning, They have plunged forward
always forward-~with no blaze or
sign to guide them, no easy path along
the road to prosperity They fought
for what they got and asked favors of
no one.
While travelling has become less Of
an adventure these days with the mod
ern ieviathan supplanting the galleon
and the frigate, and the railroad train
taking the place of the prairie schoon-
er, nevertheless it has required the
spirit of adventure on the part of the
modern Immigrant to leave his home
abroad and turn his face toward the
West, with little or no thought OF
ever going back again.
Such men as our fathers were not
common clay. They were men of
spirit and initiative, courage and indie
pendence. The docile, unirnaginative
and lazy stayed at home to remain un-
der the heel of privilege and PROSTATE
before the worship Of class distinc-l
tons.

Peace and rumors of peace Fill the
air.
The German propaganda tells us
that the statesman responsible for con-
tinuing this war one day longer than is
absolutely necessary is a criminal of
the FIRST order.
But the propagandist does not stop
to tell us when the day of NECES-
SITY will cease to be.
Let us be done with equivocation.
Let lis look the facts squarely in the
face. So far there have been many
peace proHers. Only one has been
accepted. Why2 Because it was the
only prefer Of peace that did not
screen military rnaneuvcr, Every offer
from the Central Powers up to this
writing has been part Of a deliberately
planned peace offensive. The Teutons
have sought to deceive the people of
this. country by making capital out of
the American conscience. They have
acclaimed at great length upon the
devastation and the cruelty and the
futility of war
Who began burning villages, and
razing architectural shrines? Who
adopted rapine and terror as part of
the programme of war? Who has
learned through long application the
utter futility of militaristic policy?
This war must be fought out

can be no opportunity for what Presi-
dent Wilson called 'the nonstrous
thing that reared its ugly head" to rear

THE DEAD SOLDIER.

In yonder plains Of No Mans Land.
Lies hero Of many battle fought
Sharp smitten was by some fiendish hand
That heart, without reproach or blot.
As man, he bravely faced the fight,
Approved the truth by his endeavor.
Not he, Tor unjust rule and might
Not wrong, could him from daty sever.
The hale old veterans of four score years,
Sat musing in his old arm chair;
His gentle wife, through doubts and fears.
Did help him all his burdens bear.
But now, the anguish came
The story strangely moved his heart,
Can this be death, that comes TO claim
our son, and US forever part?'
The look upon that mothers face.
Her heart it was completely crushed.
Oh, could but she once more embrace
The child she oft to sleep had hushed!
Thus childhocd's days before her passed
And tears her languid eyes did fill:
This strife will not forever last"
The sire spoke, her grief to still.
To lift the weight from off her breast.
She wanderd in tn twilight fair
To that sequestered nook so blest
VITA creeping tvnes and flowers rare;
A maid. alone, in that rampant
Did linger long that eve. to feed
The lonely anguish OF her heart;
For him her outstretched arms did
plead,
But now That Death had preached
She laid aside all that seemed drear,
And looking W 10 skies so blue.
Beheld eternal glories glearu.
But why should men do all the deeds ?''
The question in her heart supreme,

A desire to fight that IS not con-
trolled by a scientific knowledge of
fighting is practically valueless. Per
feet skill in the science of warfare is
wasted if it is not fred by a fierce de-
sire to fight. These obvious facts were
illuulinatingly expressed by Lord
Macauley when he said Cromwell's
soldiers were invincible because they
moved into battle with the precision
of machines and the fury of fanatics. !"
The pages of history are filed with
striking instances which prove that
discipline and purpose go hand in hand
when an army moves steadily on to
victory. No men Of any race ever
fought more valiantly, or for wor-
ttier cause, than the Mexicans led
against the Spaniards by Guatemozin.
The reckless bravery and daring patri-
otism OF the Aztecs were futile, how
ever, when opposed by the iron dis
cipiine of the veterans commanded by
Cortez. And this Discipline stood
against odds OF more than a hundred
to one because the Spaniards were
convinced that the overthrow of their
oPF1AAEAltS was q BAGI kDlS AlESSt bataA1i&
for the cause of Christianity.
A striking contrast is provided by
the history of our own Revolutionary
War. The British troops sent over@
seas to subdue the American colonies
were veterans of continental wars. No
soldiers Of their period fought better,
or were more thoroughly disciplined.
Nevertheless, they went down to de-
feat before the grim assaults Of rag
ged, half-drilled men, whose ignorance
of military service was Offset by burn
ing patriotism. The British troops had
no incentive to fight, but the Amer
leans were defending their homes.
Consequently, to use Macauley's
graphic phraseoiogy, the fury of
fanatics" in this particular trial of
strength triumphed over the pre-
cision Of machines"
The reports from the western front
in France prove that our boys now
possess the two qualities that invari-
ably spell victory. They went across
the Atlantic with a clear realization
that Americas entrance into the fight
for civilization was inspired by the
worthiest and most DISTINGUISHED mo
tives that ever actuated a great nation.

1.-THE German Government has made
many mistakes during the present gem
Grafton, but the greatest mistake of
all was the assumption that America
would not fight, or if it tried to do so
It would be unable to make an appre-
ciablc impression on the battlefield,
owing TO Lack Of trained troops and our
peoples love of the peaceful pursuit of
wealth. Germany forgot that in the
veins of III Americans SIS the spirit Of
adventure, and Adventures always
fight"
This quotation is from letter writ
ten by an American army officer in
France. It sums IN what is already
proving to be the decisive factor of
the war. The spirit of adventure is in
the blood Of every one of us. We
are descended from men who were
courageous enough to give up their
old home, with all it's ties, pack few
belongings and sail across the vast
ocean to an unknown land, far distant,
where they were willing TO start life
afresh usually with no other help than
their wits and their muscles, They
we're wiling to take plunge for life.
No man can do that without possess
ing the spirit of adventure, and in the
veins OF every one of us is the blood
of some parent or ancestor, recent or
remote, who had the courage to take
that vital journey.
It took courage for Columbus to
embark on tiny ship and cross
mighty ocean when men thought that
any one who went far enough out to
sea would plunge over an awful water
fall at the edge of the world.
1t took courage for the Norsemen,
the fisher-folk Of France and England
70 make their periloua voyages 20
Newfoundland and our bleak northern
coasts.
Il took courage to come 20 America,
fHhere vast sleeping continent reluc-
family yielded livelihood In answer to
the puny efforts of men.
