(Established 1878) GES STORY ABOUT A SKUN And it appears that Germany is low-down enough to blackmail her friends. She has been granting “safe conduct” to Finnish ships. That is, if a Finn skipper hollered quick enough, U-boat commanders wouldn’t sink his craft, Finns having been very useful to Germany in respect of Russian matters. However, the Germans found that real money could be made in “safe conducting” and so they’ve required a de- posit of $200 per ton on Finnish tonnage. If the Finn can put up more than his vessel is worth, he| sails safely. Otherwise, he’s likely to become fish-bait. It reminds us of a Story About a Skunk. One time a nice, altruistic man met a skunk, with which, in his goodness of heart, he wished to be friends. So, he coaxingly sidled up to the little creature, with a smile and some very kind words. The little creature did the rest, plenty and lasting. This is all of the story, and there isn’t any moral. A PIECE of peace, says the kaizer, is better than none. ' ian WHY THEY DIDN’T APPLAUD. The big Liberty Loan meeting was in full swing. The theater was packed with an enthusiastic audience, cheering the flag, the loan, the president, hurling the full force of 5,000 voices into the war songs, applauding the speakers, the soldier glee club, the orchestra. The soldier quartet from a nearby training camp was most popular. Again and again it sang while the audience joined in.and applauded till hands stung. e" At last the quartet filed out followed by storms of applause. A girl in the audience touched her companion’s arm. “Isn’t this splendid! Hear the clapping— but look, out of all these thousands there are two men who aren’t applauding!” Sure enough—there sat two men, silent, unmov- ing amid the thunders of cheers nad applause. As the soldiers left the stage they only looked after them and smiled. They sat on the stage itself— and they wore the khaki uniforms! But nobody hissed—nobody mobbed the “men who didn’t applaud—instead of scorn the audience looked at them with eyes of pity and love, and respect. They didn’t applaud because clapping is done with TWO hands—and these men had only one! The men who didn’t applaud were Canadian soldiers, invalided home because of the empty sleeve. They didn’t applaud—nor ever will ap- plaud again—but as they sat before the vast crowd their empty sleeves shouted “It is our right to say GIVE! GIVE TILL IT HURTS!” DO YOUR Christmas shopping early. Liberty Bonds. Buy EQUALS. All men are created equal but remain so only till Reason seats itself on the throne of each man’s mind. The specter of Common sense lifts its possessor above his fellows who fumble in the dark of de- Jusicn, illusion and ignorance. Democracy represents equal Opportunity. Which does NOT mean that one man is as good as another if he’s a moral pervert or a criminal menace to society. Shall the meaning of “Equality” be accepted literally, with dogmatic adherence to the letter? If so, parasite is placed-on par with producer; shirker ranks with worker; the same respect ac- corded a captain of industry will be due to a bar- nacle on the bottom of The Ship of Serviee. If men remained equal, evolution would auto- matically slow down to the,pace of the least pro- gressive. Education is the great equalizer. It awakens the hookworm to vie with the bookworm’ it fires and inspires by example. - oes Man will ALWAYS pass and surpass his fel- ~ Jows up to a certain point of mental development. men make the most of ALL oppor- Till ALL tunities, till onlsemice is EQUAL to despite equal rights ALL, few of us will be equal and equality at birth.

In Paris you can get a course dinner for 33 cents. It WOULD be a COARSE dinner served for that gladsome figure here! | WITH THE EDITORS | THE GERMAN PEACE OFFENSIVE. | A Time to Hit Harder. ee Germany, Austria and Turkey, hard-pressed, their dream of world dominion shattered, their| forces being pushed back everywhere, are reported to be asking for an armistice to talk things over “on the basis of President Wilson’s terms.” Their arms are still full of plunder. Though they are being driven slowly off French soil, and will yet be driven, slowly or rapidly, off Belgian soil, they still occupy large areas of Russia, Poland, Rumanian, Alsace-Lorraine, Serbia and Monte- negro. They could give up France, Belgium and Alsace-Lorraine, and still win the war. Their greatest hope now is for a breathing spell ; for a let-up, however produced, in the Foch cam- paign, which is designed not to give them..any breathing sp;!l whatever until they are whipped. There will, of course, be no armistice with the enemy in stolen territory. Our terms are known, definitely. completély; there is nothing in them to be “talked over.” There is nothing to talk about.—Duluth Herald. ' : Germany’s New Peace Lure. If Germany is playing square about the January | 8 speech, it can establish the fact rather neatly by withdrawing its armed forces from Belgium, France, Russia and elsewhere to its own domain, the defense of which, it protests, is its sole aim in fighting. We cannot speak for the allied govern- ments, of course, but we have a “hunch” that if the kaiser would volunteer to call back his armies to the boundaries toward which the might of the allies is forcing them, he and Prince Maximilian could gain a very respectful hearing for the new proposal, particularly if they also can convince the world that an awakened and chastened German people is now the real power behind the throne, as the chancellor would have us believe from his reichstag speech. It is quite understandable why Germany would hail an armistice. Events on the west front, in Bulgaria, in Turkey and in Albania make the thing plain. We do not recall that Germany craved an armistice when its armies were crashing toward Paris and the channel ports from the middle of March till the middle of July. The great sacrifices which Prince Maximilian talks about now did not enter charitably into the conscience of the German! government then.—Minneapolis Trbiune. The Answer to Germany. Basis for negotiations, forsooth! There is no basis for negotiations except unconditional sur- render. Let the Huns look to Bulgaria, if they would know what they must do to get an armistice. Let them lay down their arms, demobilize their armies, surrender their spoils, retreat into their own country and get rid of their Hohenzollerns.: Then the allies will be ready to notify them of the terms on which peace is to be made. For it will be a dictated peace and not a negotiated one that will end this war—a peace that will endure, that will free the peoples of the world, that will rest securely on justice. sie Meanwhile, let the soldiers of democracy push on relentlessly. Let the home peoples abate not on jot of their labors in support. Let the war be clusion. On this program the world is today united. The peace offensive is significant only of Germany's abject fear of defeat, of her desire to save what of her bloody Joot she can. She must be brought to uncorglitional surrender. ene a ‘The most stunning answer America can make at this moment is the triumphant over-subscrip- tion of the Fourth Liberty Loan—Minfeapolis: Journal. : ‘ co a ae .

It Is a fall afternoon and the air ts a bit sharp, Through the front windows of the house the woman approaching up the walk can see the cheerful glow of an open fireplace. ‘There is /the sound of a. piano and ‘some one:is singing. ‘ 4 The woman, who is slight and young and tired-looking, puts her heavy sujt- case down on the walk and shifts the baby she fs carrying to the other arm. She listens a minute, then picks up the luggage and walks bravely up to the front door. Some one has heard her coming and is there to meet her. Some one always is in places like this. The door is thrown open and a kind wom- an’s voice says: “Oh, do come in and rest. Let. me take the baby.” The baby is passed over and the stranger, wern from a long journey, tired and sad, is given the welcome which only the ¥Y. W. C. A, hostesses know how to give. } She explains that she/has come to see John before he leaves for the front. She has been saving*her money for traveling expenses, and has come to surprise him, John has never seen the baby, and now maybe he never will, for she has discovered that John hag just Jeft on a two days’ furlough / to surprise her. Before she could get a train back to her home John’s, fur- lough will have expired and he will be on his way back to camp. The little mother does not know how to meet the situation and. tears of fatigue and dis- appointment begin to flow. “Well, that’s too bad,” says the sym- pathetic Y. W. GC. A. work “But cheer up. You can just stay here for a couple of days. We'll send a wire to John at the first place his train stops and ‘tell him'to take the next train back. He can enjoy his furlough , here.” ¥ This is done and the little family has a glorious day of it. The Young Women’s Christian asso- clation has established 92 hostess houses of this character for American soldiers and sailors and their familles. In this brief bulletin of news lies one of the most potent factors in the win- ning of this war. ‘Our boys are fight- ing for their homes. The Y. W. C. A. with its hostess work in this country ond in France is helping to keep the ideal of American home life con- stantly; before the men who are pro- tecting it. These men had to go away froin their tindividual homes, but there is a home.which follows them—a place where they can go when they are off duty: aug-meet their families iand rest.

C. A. houses are aot es- tablished with any view. to marking class tines, however, although many of the -hostesses who assist Iced lives of greatest ease and luxury before the war. Democracy rules at the sign of the little Blue Triangle. A-story is told of a great merchant's wife whose individual fortune mounts to the million mark, This lady fs a member of one of the Y. W. C. A. com- inittees, and on one occasion she was helping in the cafeteria of a hostess house at the Great Lakes naval train- ing station. , A little shopgirl who had al “day off” from her work in the base- ment of the great store owned by the Y. W. ©. A. worker’s husband, and who, had come to see her sailor brother, was ina State street hurry for service. She sharply ordered the merchant's wife to “look alive: with these forks, girlie.” : The lady addressed as “girlie” quite humbly saw to it that the pile of forks was replenished. Then she went over and talked to the girl, helped her to locate her brother atid sent her away happy. ‘The shopgirl never knew that she had been talking to her employer's wife. ‘There are two hostess houses at the Great Lakes station, and it is a won- derful sight to see the crowds of wom- en relatives and friends of the sailors who throng to them on the Wednesday drill afternoons, From 1,000 to 3,000 persons a day are’ cared for in the cafeterias, and the nurseries are full of sailor babies, whose mothers cain leave them there safely while they/are on the grounds.
