The War Mothers of America have come to this way thinking. They have ventured out upon a program h promises much aid to the government, both in the ter of bringing home to each person the necessity for éarly start in Liberty dollar saving and in actual sub- ption for bonds. Their plan is this: ny cities, local chapters, The national organization and, in have inaugurated a War hers’ fund. This fund is to be made up wholly of Lib- ty Loan bonds. And it will be built of dimes. Any per- on may give one dime to the fund. The dimes, stacked These bonds will become the finan- support of the mothers of American soldiers and sailor wa be the reserve fund upon which the organi War Mothers may lean whenever their program of war rests too heavily upon private purses.

Count Hertling, h the usual Hun obtuseness, no expected that he could tr people into a belief that really accepted President Wilson’s peace terms last uary. How far he fell short may be easily judged m a glance at the following 14 terms set down by Wood- Wilson before the American congress last January 8 1.—End of secret diplomacy. 2.—Freedom of the seas. $.—Removal of trade barriers. 4.—Reduction of armaments. 5.—Settlement of colonial claims in accordance with interests of the populations. 6.—Evacuation and freedom of Russia. 7.—Restoration of Belgium. 8—Evacuation of France and return of Alsace and 9.—Return of Italia Irredenta. 10.—Self-rule for nations held subject by Austria-Hun- . (This has been followed by the American regognition Czecho-Slovakia as an independent state.) 11.—Restoration of the Balkan states. 12.—Self-rule for subject states of Turkey. 13.—Polish independence. 14.—A league of nations to prevent future aggression Those are the American peace terms of last Januar d to any Hun in Germany, who is skeptical, America now served notice that WE MEANT WHAT WE SAID. If those terms aren’t plain enough, there’s just one m that the Beast of Berlin can understand. That is: UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.
