‘THE KIND OF PEACE WE WANT HE remarks made before the house committee on military affairs by Secretary of War Baker and f of Staff March have started a great deal of talk Out peace again, Senator Lodge, a few days ago, out- d our “irreducible terms,” We have been in this war less than a year and a if and have almost forgotten what it was like in of peace, We cannot imagine what it will be when peace But we have a very clear idea now of what war ‘Means, and we didn’t have before. a Peace is a sunshiny day, with the flowers bloom- * along the little stream, lambs kiting around in the dow, children playing in the shade, while father Works in the field and mother sits on the porch patch- little clothes and happily humming a cradle song. War means the background of the picture un- n but the lambs are knocked in the head, the and perhaps their grandfather lie murdered der the trees, hands cut off, unless one of them is girl, in which case she is struggling in the arms of a ast in the German field-gray uniform, The household the dog, lies on the path, cut in two by a sword. inst the fence lies the mutilated body of the hus- and the father. Inside the house all that is of is packed up ready to send back to Germany—it y be to Berlin—but perhaps it is Dresden or Munich. The happy mother a few hours ago now begs for at the hands of a German officer, while he ths and shakes his head. That is war. That is—it’s war as waged by the Germans. ‘2 ee It is the war we will see in this country unless present war is won and the proper peace comes a result. Two years ago we had a right to fool ourselves to think that we were set apart, that if we kept if we did not express our feelings, Germany had allowed France to be crushed, if we had permit- ted England to be hemmed around in her islands and forced to submit, if such a thing was possible, IT WOULD SIMPLY HAVE BE OUR TURN NEXT. We now know that we were in the eyes of the kaiser and his associates like hogs in the pens of the stockyards. Their idea was to run the nations over the chute, one by one, cutting the throat of each as it passed, and when the time came we would have been forced in our turn to run the chute, . * * . A treaty of peace is a contract. In considering any contract we take into account the character of the man on the other side, We may leave Austria and Turkey and Bulgaria in their bloody isolation, leave them out of our calcula- tions, It is Germany with which we have to deal, and it is Germany which we must consider. Germany, which sent her sons to burn the homes of innocent, unresisting people—and the kaiser urged them on. Germany, whose soldiers murdered priests and raped nuns and defiled churches—and the kaiser did not punish a single man of them. Germany, whose soldiers murdered boys of 6 and 7 and 8, old men of 83, 85 and 86—and the kaiser approved of the principle. Germany, the lust of whose soldiers swept within its range babies of 7 and grandmothers of 81—and the kaiser has not hanged a single offender. Germany, whose soldiers have sent back from Poland and Finland and Courland and the Ukraine, and from Italy and Serbia, from Belgium, and even Luxem- burg, from the bleeding provinces of France, train- load after train-load of stolen goods running into the thousands, in order that the cars emptied at the front might be filled during their return—goods stolen from the well-to-do, the poor and the starving alike, with- out warfant of law and in the face of all the laws in 1809-~and the kaiser has established warehouses in which these goods may be placed and sold, to the profit of “my army.” Germany, the liar, which has preceded every one of her violations of Jaws, human and divine, by falsely charging that her enemies were guilty of those crimes, and then as time went on has, with a sneer often, ad- mitted that her first charge was false—and the kaiser has approved of such diploms Germany, the liar, which pleaded that the war was forced upon her by England, and now her minister to England and her minister of state and of foreign af- fairs when the war broke out acknowledge that the charge was false, Germany, the cheat, which tells her soldiers to imi- tate surrender in order to get close enough to the allied soldiers to murder them while they are unsuspicious. and the kaiser decorates these successful cheats with the iron cross, *“*e* # There is not room enough in a single day to even give the general heads of the crimes of which ( many has been, is, and until she has learned her le: son, will continue to be guilty. Until the time comes when GERMANY HAS LEARNED AND CONFESSES THAT WAR CO? DUCTED AS SHE CONDUC MISTAKE, I WAR IS A GIGAD y UNPROFITABLE, and until she herself punishes th who have misled her into believing in such a w until that time comes we may as well discuss peace with a rattlesnake or a mad dog, the lion escaped from his cage, or the she-bear, robbed of her cubs. When a proper peace can be secured, it will be easy to write the terms of the treaty of peace. ..8— ere But until Germany is beaten, until her soldiers are across the Rhine, until she has seen written on her own fields and on the walls of her own cities the def- As a result of what we have accomplished in sending our men abroad, all the hopes of Germany have crumbled into dust. Great battles will be fought be- fore the snow flies, hundreds of thousands of men will be killed, wounded and captured, the line of conflict will sway to and fro. But one thing is sure, the separation of the allied forces into two armies, the capture by Germany of the channel ports, and the captuq: and looting of Paris, which every rman thought was sure to come, in the latter ays of March, are now impossible. 3ut let us send this word across the Atlantic to the German people: “We have a million and a half Americans on the soil of France. Within a year we will send twice that number. We will furnish food and ammunitions to our all We are going to win, and let you hear the tramp of American feet in the streets of Berlin. Your last chance is gone. But even if you are able to fool Italy, to crush France and drive the English soldiers off the con- tinent into the ocean, even if there was not a single armed soldier on the continent of Europe resisting you, we would send our men to England and there we would place our ships side by side with hers, we would pen you and all your allies and al! your slaves on the mainland of Europe until the inevit- able revolt came and the nations again allied themselves against you. We are resolved that the only safe peace with Germany is a peace with Ger- many beaten. Every victory you may win the future defers by a day or week or month the time when you can have peace.” ac For ourselves, we have taken to our hearts the lesson of the past and have adopted the sentiments of Concord Bridge, as given by Lowell in the Biglow papers: Better thet all our ships an’ all their crews Should sink to rot in ocean's dreamless ooze, Each torn flag wavin’ chellenge ez it went, d let us go by untouched in the future. 3 of nations for a century past; stolen as the soldiers We now know that if we had kept silent, if we of Napoleon stole, to the great humiliation of Germany inition of the word WAR, we cannot and will not be led to loy r our arms by any German cry of “kame- ms An’ each dumb gun a brave man’s moniment, rad” or “peace”! Than seek sech peace ez only cowards crave: Give me the peace of dead men or of brave!

Like Rip, the old-fashioned razor was not perfect either— but it was a real razor—an efficient shaving tool developed by centuries of use and workmanship, and entitled to be kept for its good points. In fact, it was old-fashioned only in that it lacked two modern things—the two-edged, detach- able blade and—safety. To add these, but to retain the good of the old, is real progress in razor development. The razor that has both what the old style had and what it lacked is the A Real Razor— made Safe An evolution, not a revolution in razors—all the good points of the new idea, all the good points of the old, The shape, balance and blade-angle-on-the-face of the old Style razor have always been rec- ognized as unbeatable. To these, the Durham-Duplex adds a guard- ed, detachable, double-edged blade —the longest,strongest, keen- est blade on earth. Furthermore, it is the best-tempered blade you can buy. There is also a stropping attachment that gives you the luxury of a fresh edge at a mo: ment's notice.
