That Sharp aad Well-kept Arm.
On August 24, 1898, the Caar of Russia invited
all the nations to an intltnational peace conference
?t The Hague to discuaa a program of permanent
peace founded upon honor and justice to all nations
and guaranteed by general disarmament and arbi
tration.
Most nations were pleased with this prospect for
universal and permanent peace; their governments
enthusiastically reteived the Czar's invitation and
named delegates to the conference. Countless mil
lions of people carried high hopes.
Peace forever?war never!
That was what they saw. But not all. One
?aw it this way:
"Believe me, peace will never be better safe
guarded than by a perfectly organized and pre
pared German army. God grant that it may
always be possible for us to preserve the world's
peace with this sharp and well-kept arm."
That was what the German Kaiser said in a
speech at Onyhausen, two weeks after getting the
Czar's peace invitation.
A lew weeks later the Kaiser forced his Reich
stag to pass a bill providing a huge increase for
the maintenance of the German army.
That was his answer to the world's cry for
peace 20 years ago.
Not to help arrrive at a peace program but to
hinder the work of the conference the Kaiser ap
pointed delegates to The Hague. Among them was
Count Munster, notorious preacher of the "gospel
of the sword."
"Germany is prepared for war," he said, "as
no other nation is or can be; she can mobilize
her army in 10 days; neither France nor any
other power can do this."
On July 29, 1899, the conference adjourned, after
Count Munster had made a speech in which he
dealt the death blow to all hope of arbitration and
disarmament.
Germany went on with her preparations for war
while other nations hoped for another and more
^successful peace conference. Nothing came of fu
ture peace meetings and this world war grew out of
Germany's "sharp and well-kept arm." Munster was
right. Germany was well prepared for war. And if
Germany is not defeated now her "sharp and well
kept arm" will be sharper and better kept than ever.
Twenty years ago the Kaiser well knew his
"sharp and well-kept arm" was not to preserve the
world's peace. He knew why it was sharpened and
well kept. He then knew that he was going to
Vit to smash to bits the peace of the world and
Vpt to ride over mountains of dead and rivers
\?1 to the throne of world dominion. That was
^ h representative at The Hague dealt the
blow to arbitration and disarmament.
20 years many things have happened. That
has been swept off his throne and into his J
From a world of peace we have come into
of war. For four years the Kaiser's "sharp
f.ell-kept arm battled with the forces he
Ted at The Hague. And for a time he made
Iway, not as much as he dreamed of and boasted
ould achieve but enough to arouse apprehen
everywhere outside Germany and her allies,
len eame the turning point. Americans by the
hundreds of thousands poured into the war. Ger
man lines have been turned backward. They must
go much further.
And then will come another peace conference,
and not till then. But at this conference there can
be no Count Munster to deal any death blow to
anything. There can be no bombastic emperor to
say. "Believe me, peace will never be better safe
guarded than by a perfectly organized and prepared
German army."
It won't be for the Kaiser to say what he will or
will not do. He must do what those who have
beaten his "perfectly organized and prepared Ger
man army" command, that and nothing lfcss. It will
be well for the conference to bear in mind that the
world's peace was not and never will be preserved
by the "sharp and well-kept arm" of the Hun. That
"sharp and well-kept arm" should never again be
permitted to stand in the way of universal peace.
We will have to amputate it on the field of battle
"over there" and then bury it deep at the peace
conference.
Where We Ask Indemnity.
The cave man was too ignorant to think it up,
and so he beat out his rival's brains with stone
or club.
The Tartars got an inkling of it, when they
impaled their captives for hours of agony that
death alone relieved.
The heathen Chinese came within touch of it,
when they broke their prisoners' limbs, joint by
joint and pulled out their fingernails and tongues.
The Romans, in all their wars with barbarians
of all sorts, never encountered it as a national or
tribal method of warfare.
The American savage, fond of torture and in
genious in prolonging it, did not resort to it.
It remained for kultured Germany of the twen
tieth century to introduce the destruction of the
eyesight of men as a method of winning in war.
Through the centuries of study, research, culture,
development and uplift, through the list of names
of great Germans who contributed to progress in
industry", arts and sciencc, the focus bums upon
*his damned spot, this idea from hell; and from
the shame, horror and brutality Germany may not
recover.
We want you to read Newland's story about
Roland Park 'Hospital, near Baltimore, where the
povernnient is trying to "reconstruct" our blind
soldiers, blinded by Hun war gas, because we're
going to offer a radical suggestion.
These blind soldier boys must be utterly re
.j
claimed and M those "MCWtltHietlHi" M flr4t
go to work on hi* mental readjustment
When you are between the age* of 11 .".nd 30, a
decided mental change takes place upon a German
putting out your eyes.
Formerly, you could go about ai other men, in
dependently, without fear, conscious of your
itreilgth to look out for yourielf. Made sightless
by a German, you must guide y?\ff feet with a
cane; a little dot may be ueeful to lead you; you
must tremble at noise of etreet car, kUto or wagon;
you may smell the fire that you cannot locate; you
must always depend on someone or something for
even the common thing*; yoii must give up the
flowers, the mountains, the green fields, the glisten
ing, rippling brooks; you must merely imagine all
new faces, all new people, all new things.
Formerly, ybu looked into your young wife's
eyes and say a gleam from heaven that thrilled you.
Or you took jtour baby upon y<Jur knee to make
it laugh, or to glow over its growth, the way its
curls were beginning to twine about its neck, the
struggles It made to say "Daddy," to realize that
it's part of you and maybe will grow up just like
you.
No more of that?forever! To crush and rule
millions of men like you, the German has gassed
you into blindness, everlasting blackness, an
i opaque curtain between you and all that you loved.
Wisely the governors of Roland Park Hospital
decide that such a changc has an effect on the
mind. Mental readjustment is necessary. Yester
day, to see wif* or babe's beloved face; to be in
and of the bright world. Today, to see nothing; to
be in a world between life and death I
One of these blind soldiers boyj of ours?of
ours!?writes Newland, has been so mentally read
justed that he joyously sits down and pens a letter
to his mother, in wobbly characters, perhaps, but
-legible. May God alone be with that mother when
the reads it
"You should see them at football, following the
course of the bap by hearing. You should see how
they carry on like joyful kids while doing it," says
Newland. No! We don't want to see that while
there's a living Hun who has not felt all the pun
ishment that's in the strong arm of America. We
don't want to stand on the side lines and watch
American boys, blinded by Huns, follow the ball
by hearing. We want to be in the trench lines re
moving Huns.
Well, government is going to "reconstruct" these
blind boys, so far as possible. It is going to teach
them vocations to make them independent, so far
as possible. It is finally going to turn them out
into the world to get along as well as possible.
It is not enough! It Is not enough for our
blinded boys. It is not enough for the cowardly
brutes who blinded them.
When we come to sit at the peace table, we
should demand at least $10,000 indemnity for the
benefit of every American victim of this hellish war
practice of Germany. And now it isn't too early
to notify the ungodly Hun autocrats that such is
out intention.
The Bond of Liberty.
The tie that binds the allies is cxactly the
same as that which huddles together the central
powers.
Self-preservation.
But what united each array of nations was
decidedly something else.
On the side of the Huns, a dominant few aimed
to gulp down all the remaining power on this
| terraqueous sphere, which we'd daily tread in
dread if they did.
| However, the morsel not only has proved un
pleasant to the Prussian palate but it's stuck in
1 kultur's gluttonous throat and is slowly choking
the monster to death.
The bond that grappled together the allies and
in which they've since grappled together with the
[ menace?was the liberty bond.
I The liberty bond of our allegiance across seas
will do it?but not without the liberty bond at
home.
! The fourth liberty bond issue will soon be
launched. Every liberty bond bought increases
its holder's share in that corporation called the
United States government, to the full face value
of the bond.
Every liberty bond at 4 1-2 P" cent strengthens
the liberty bond which united us with England,
France, Belgium and Italy.
Be prepared to save money in a liberty bond
of the fourth issue.
Every bond bought will decrease the power
of the Prussian despots and increase the size of
the morsel that's choking the monster of kultur
?the morsel which represents power. Not the Huns
power that belongs to the free, but power that
1 will grow and unite all through the liberty bond
of nations with the help of the liberty bond of
i dollars that you buy!
We can be either slackers or backers?slacking
work or backing Yanks! Be a backer!
Maj. Gen. Graves has arrived in Siberia to
bury German hopes of conquest.
"Germans don't see victory ahead," writes a
war correspondent. They never did; it was only
a Kaiser-made mirage they saw.
Four million Yanks in France cannot lick the
Huns unless we, to a man, woman and child,
back the Yanks, morning, noon and night.
"Gott is mit us all right," explained a German
prisoner, "but the Yanks are against us." Yes,
and we'll back the Yanks against the Hun "gott"
any day in the week.
There may be something in a name at that.
Conductor W. J. Knight, of the N., C. & St. L.
Railroad, carried the same lantern twenty-eight
years over 1,337,136 miles, despite the fact that part

"SCHOOL DAYS"
t eg
Credit for revelations irade in the
aircraft report must go largely to the
courageous band of Senators *ho
have held out, from the moment they
began to look into things, for a most
efficient conduct of the war and for
the complete elimination of red tape
and dishonesty and selfishness.
Let no man say these men were not
Interested in America's success. Tho
truth Is they saw that if we continued
on the inefficient basis we were once
operating on. In several branches of
the War Department, it would be
much to the Kaiser's liking and of
course, to his immense benefit.
These Senators wanted every blow
to count for America. They knew It
could not count with Inefficiency and
red tape and dishonesty standing in
the way.
For their efforts, of course, they
have the profound thank* of the sol
diers of America and of the folks left
at home who sent those soldiers'
abroad and who are footing the bill |
of equipping and sustaining them f
there.
And for their efforts they probably ?
have the devout Ill-wishes of the i
Kaiser, who is soon to be punished j
deeply for what he has done to dls- j
turb the world.
Governor McCaU'a exit from the
political arena In Massachusetts, of J
course, makes the campaign of Sena- J
tor Weeks air-tight, and by th?
Republicans of the Hay State is taken
to mean that he will not have any
trouble when November comes.
Senator Weeks' chances for Presi
dential nomination by the Republi
cans in 1920 are, therefore, helped!
considerably. For had a bitter pri- i
mary fight developed against him It
would have hurt him then, and It
might have defeated him this fall,
which certainly would have put him
out of the national reckoning.
Senator Norris was accused of
party-disloyalty by Victor Rosewater,
the Omaha man who sat for a few
unnoticed moments once at the head
of the Republican national committee,
and the odium and the odor of the
charges permeated the Nebraska
Republican primary. The result Is
that with Nd(Tis nominated. Mr.
Rosewater faces a vale of shrouds
and tears and finds consolation only
in the fact that his wine: chose the
Congressional nominee whom Ixjbeck
will defeat.
We do not hear much about the
Michigan primaries hereabouts, but
the Middle West is being entertained
with an interesting battle as a result
of Henry Ford's filing. Charges made
against one of his Republican op
ponents stirred the State yesterday,
and the resignation of the offend
ing candidate was forthwith demand
ed. While at the same time more
George Harvey Invective against Ford
is being used than had hitherto pre
l meated the docile State. It will be
interesting to see what will be the
| effect of the colonel's long-distance
participation in the battle royal?for
that Is what is seems to be.
It was announced from Lincoln.
Kebr. yesterday that W. J. Bryan,
who has never missed an election
there since he went to the State,
neither participated in the campaign
nor went home to cast his vote.

21 years?there are thousands of par
ents who have already given up
youths of that sge. Their demand
is that other parents do what they
have done. And fathers and mothers
of boys older than this, who are
nevertheless as beloved as the young
cr boys, are insistent, too. that par
ents who have not the oldor lads
to give shall give what they have.
There are some mothers and fathers
who have older sons already in the
war who will be hard hit by this
amendment, perhaps, but the lads are
doubtless eager to go and do their |
share and their parents should join
them In rejoicing, not in sorrow over |
their departure. It seems like a cold
blooded proposition to speak of It |
in this light, hut it Isn't. The op- I
portunity to serve is an honor to j
all. No one should try to curtail or
eliminate that honor.

MERCILESS TO POOR
Profiteering in This Line Hitting
Colored People Hardest.
Cleveland Ohio An? W. -lVr.t
iteering has been found to pre
vail mostly In the poorer sections of
this city, according to reports re
ceived by the Chamber of Commerce,
and a great fight is on to down the
"rent hog."
Miserable shacks are renting for ex
orbitant prices and in some cases
rents have been doubled with the re- i
suit that some of these people ore
paying an equal rental per square foot
as that paid by occupants of hish
class apartments. In one tenement
district the rent is $18 per month for I
433 square feet, or a fraction over
4 cents per square foot. The rental i
of one of the most exclusive nnd up- |
to-date apartments In this cltv runs
just a fraction over 4 cents per square
foot.
This apartment has elevators, steam |
heat. Janitor service and everything
that the modern high-class apnrt
ments have today but the shack and
tenement has everything else but con
veniences.
Th^se shacks are also cheaply built
and Chamber of Commerce officials
state that many of them could be
duplicated for $250.
Negroes are the worst victims of
profiteering, according to the Cleve
land Real Estate Board and many
who have been imported from the
south will suffer when winter comes
on from exposure from these shacks.
A great many of the negroes are
making fairly good wages working In
munition plants and foundries doing
their part to help win the war while
the profiteering landlord is reaping a
harvest, financially, from the work
of tho negroes.
