The people over there, cannot afford to waste it. ‘They conserve coal by extracting every possible heat unit. They have to do that or ‘freeze. * It is different in these United States. We have loal to burn, and we do burn it in a most waste- ful, riotous fashion. Coal prices to us are low compared to what our allies have to pay. But we are short of coal. We ought to con- serve our supply. Our. fuel administration might get coal con- servation easily enough if it permitted coal op-/, crators and dealers to run prices up to the Eur- opean level, and many coal barons would like nothing better. That would, further: increase our, cost of living, So the fuel admjnistfation took: the other way: Trices were held down, and the people were asked to save coal—to conserve it as carefully as $6 a tonas they would if it'cost: them $20 a‘ton. | Which is the better way? yau..doing Garfield Saving to prove to Caiseve.. coat without .-HUNS say the Yanks are brainless and.don’t know when to. quit. One thing at least they will admit—the Yanks know exactly HOW-to HIT! A RUBBER: STAMP. ; We ‘trotted out our crystal globe and-in tune with the muse, these are the views that resulted from the seance: ‘i ares Are you a rubber stamp? Does anybody ink you on the pad of mechanical routine and apply you to the same thing in the same way every day? Don’t be a duplicate. Even an exceptional copy is less cregitable than a mediocre original—if the original represents a man’s best effort toward self- expression. / Don’t be a cog when you can be the throttle- hand. But while you are a cog, approach per- fection in the way you execute the functions-of a cog. Have ideas. Don’t criticize; suggest. Criti- cism may be indulged only when experience war- rants and authority justifies. ; Think constructively. Man has labored thou- sands of years, yet each work he thought was finished, successive generations have improved. As you go, aim to better. Look for Opportunity, don’t make hei’ seek you’ dut."') ‘+ Whereupon, when you do make your impress. it will be, nof-as a rubber stamps, but individual to and original with YOU. ‘ A Thrift Stamp collection in the home is a re- serve against reverses, a staff to lean upon in lean years, and’a handy “umbrella” when your “rainy day” comes. 3 DON QUIXOTE UP-TO-DATE. “Lead me to it,” said a young American captain when a doughboy told him a German count—a high officer, of course—was waiting to surrender to a COLONEL. . “No colonels in my company today; just come with me,” the captain said—and the count came! * The count wore a monock, he carried. a cane, he was some count. The doughboy didn’t say “your highness,” or spill any of that kind of bunk. He shook hands with the count, gave him a cig- aret, and hustled him to the prison cages, like he was a regular fellow. _ + And perhaps the count is this time. _ “They lack the dashing appearance of the " French cavairy; they haven't the stateliness of the British cavalry—but with their tin hats cock- ed over their ears, riding their horses like indians, au; g and yelling, brandishing a revolver in ch hand-—with which they shoot very straight, per hand, or with both hands at once. if you lord how they. can fight!” a Scotch- BESS: BBS SSS SEBS .| gression... : “Of course!

" They fight like hell, yet they are kind to people, they love little children, they are respectful to, women—and France loves them! WE MEANT WHAT WE SAID. Americans long ago served notige on the HUNS that they could have peace on certain ‘terms. 'Though President Wilson as the nation’s moth- piece, we laid down 14 terms which could be ac- icepted as having made the world “safe for democ- racy.” 3 Did we mean what we said? President Wilson | emphatic NO to the HUNS’ latest peace offer lern or Hapsburg that WE MEANT WHAT WE SAID. ‘These are the terms on which Germany and i her satellites can have peace—the 14 terms an- nounced by Woodrow Wilson before the American Céngress last January 8: ‘ 1.—End of secret diplomacy. 2.—Freedom of the seas. 3.—Removal of trade barriers. 4.—Reduction of armaments. 5.—Settlement of colonial claims.in accordance | with the interests of the populations. 6.—Evacuation and freedom of Russia. 7.—Restoration of Belgium. 8.—Evacuation of France and return of Alsace and Lorraine. re 3 i 9.—Return of Italian Irredenta. | 10.—Self-rule for nations held subject by Aus;; tria-Hungary..

And to any HUN, in Germany or elsewhere, ‘ho. is skeptical, Amévica: has ‘nowserved ‘notice hat WE MEANT WHAT WE'SAID. > If those terms aren’t plain enough, there’s just one term that the Beast of Berlin can understand. That is: UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER. as The Classmate, “a Sunday. school: publica: tion put out by the Methodist Book Concern, prints the following editorial under the title, “Germans Wronged Most.” ‘ be That imperial group of gangsters know as the German war party have committeed unspeakable wrongs upon the world. They have devastated Belgium and deported the Belgians. They have trampled over France and despised the French. They have raised death on England and hated the English. They have invaded Russia and betrayed the Russians. And so on to the end of ‘the bet- ter chapter. f: But no nation has been wronged so permanently and irréparably as Germany; no people so com- given a position of imperishable fame in the Tworld’s history. So long as the stars shall shine no one will ever call the French “a decadent peo- ple.” Russia has started on her long journey to- ward freedom. England has written a new and glorious chapter in her history. Italy is at last a real centralized nation. America has become the world’s greatest champion of liberty. But-Ger- many—. If the war should end tomorrow she is a ruined nation; her people are hopelessly dis- graced. Like,a blind Samson she has pulled down the fair templé that has taken her 500-years to erect. Germany has become an outcast nation. | Her colonies are taken from her; her commerce swept from the seas! her language from the schools ;,her goods debarred from the world’s mar- kets. (It does not matter what laws are passed, “Made in Germany” will be sufficient to damn her merchandise for many a year.) Her reputation | for art and culture has become a by-word. The. bloody footprint of the HUN will be seen on ev page of her former glorious record. When kia symphonies are played men will hear the shrieks | of murdered children and ravished women. When her culture is mentioned men will think of Edith Cavell. When her religion is spoken of the world will sneer. pe Never was there a nation so completely ruined.) while. If there is any class of people that has. reason to hate these autocratic murderers it is the Ge | man people. Our German friends never can again speak with pride of the “fatherland.” They never can speak their native tongue without being sure that the very cadence of it will cause someone to shudder. It is a terrible loss to a man when he can no longer be proud of thé land of his birth, and to be proud of Germany today is to condone her dastardly deeds.
