Buy Liberty Bonds for Christmas gifts. FOR REAL PEACE U. S—Unconditional Surrender. Thus even the.very letters of the U. S. symbolize our! terms of peace. This country would betfay its own high ideals and purposes in entering the war if it should agree to lay down arms NOW and talk peace with the Kaiser. -It is the Kaiser whom we accused of being the world’s greatest menace. It is the Kaiser, then, who must be re-| moved from any and all power before we can have peace. We cannot sit down at a peace table with this arch-mur-| derer and cut-throat. And we will not. Look at the Liberty Loan posters that greet your eye at every turn. Remember the Red Cross posters. Issued by the government, your have the words of the United States of America that the Huns have crucified babies, vio- lated women, dragged them to first line trenches and chained them to machine guns. You have the word of the} United States that the Huns have wantonly killed and maimed men, women, and children, without cause. Who were these fiends? Soldiers of the Kaiser, the same Kaiser who now seeks peace. Can we compromise our consciences and talk peace with the beast who ordered them to perpetrate these outrages? For notwithstanding all the changes, big or small as they may be, that have come about} with the new chancellor in Germany, remember this: Maximilian is under the Kaiser's orders. The Kaiser | created him. The Kaiser can unmake him. The Kaiser grants “reforms.” He can withdraw them. And it is the Kaiser, or the Kaiser's son, who can plunge the world into | another war. | There is but one answer to all this peace camouflage. | Dig down deep in your pocket, buy all the Liberty Bonds you can, give the government all the moral and financial support you can so, that we can fight to the finish for REAL peace in place of the inconclusive peace that would be forced on us now.
