Every time the German army re? treats Hindenburg and Ludcndorff proclaim to the deluded and credulous Germans that "wo conducted trium? phantly our prearranged retreat." Every retreat seems to have been "prearranged," provided for, planned beforehand. No doubt this is partial? ly the truth. Like the man who was to face a bully in a fisticuff encoun? ter, before going into the fight he arranged carefully a good, soft place on which to fall. And this is the wise thing to do, but an acknowledg? ment of his opponents superiority in the beginning. Hindenburg is a past master in the art of retreating, it must be admitted. His "triumphant" retreat is a camouflage by which he seems to be fooling part of the peo? ple all the time. No doubt he is now already prearranging a further re? treat across the Rhine and towards Berlin, and it will, of course, be tri? umphantly accomplished and when his final surrender will be "triumphant? ly" pulled off, and when Butcher Bill, Hindenburg, Ludendorff and Co. march to prison in chains, hoch and his friends will see to it that it shall be "triumphantly" accomplished. EXHILARATING. Th? news from the front foi the past few days has been a great tonic to the people of the country. The defeat of the Bulgarian army and the ultimate surrender of the Turks to General Allenby's forces is a great victory for the Allies. Some military expert has said that the loss of Bul? garia to the Entente is almost as se? rious a loss as the breaking down ol the Russian army two years ago, and its subsequent, loss to the Allies. Be that as it may, the Allied armies, not only have the upper baud now, but the morale of the soldiers facing Hin? denburg on the Western front has been greatly strengthened by the de? feat of the Bulgare. It seems evident now that the next move will be the surrender of Turkey, anil when that day comes, the Christian nations will be happy. The "Terrible Turk" has much charged against him. The bru? tal punishment of Christians, of only recent occurrence, will have to In paid for. It will not be more than the Ottoman Empire's just deserts it' the Peace Council dismembers the Empire in its entirety, and parcels It up among the smaller nations. But these are questions to be set tied, not in the dim distant future, but very soon, in our humble judgment, by the International Peace Council, which will be assembled to draw up articles of permanent peace, and around this ta? ble your Uncle Sam's beaming face will be seen in all its glory. BURN WOOD?SAVE COAL. The Find Administration has sent out an additional, urgent appeal to the coal operators everywhere to put. out more coal, ami to consumers to save more coal. As time goes on more and more coal is needed. The prospect is now for a shortage this winter. Consumers of coal in the small towns and in the country must con? serve coal, by being more economical, and by using wood wherever possi? ble. Use less coal ami more wood. It is estimated that in this town every three families waste enough coal lo supply the fourth family. Save coal. RANTINCS OF A LUNATIC. "We fight at great cost and sac? rifice but our Gott knows we lend the band of friendship to our bleeding, wounded enemy." The above extract is from the German Kaiser's latest speech, made at Essen to the Krupp workers. What does any sane man think of such a Statement? When and where und to whom did he "lend the band of friendship'.'" I.el Belgium, France, Roumania, Serbia, and Retl Cross hos? pitals and submarine victims answer. Wonder if the Krupp workers believe the whimpering hypocrite? We publish today a column or two of subscriptions to the War Stamp drive in Tuzcwc'.l County. There are also printed a number of letters from Tazewell's soldiers on foreign soil. These list of stamp buyers wiil be ; oad witbuft-great deal of inteiest by tho boys^?f Fiance. Arc you on? If your name is not in the list you will always wish it was. In future political pow-wows, tho names of the men who no"; ht War .Stamps and Liberty Bonds will be scanned closely by the voters, many of whom will be veterans of the great war that made the world free. If a man aspires to political office, and Ibas not "gone the limit" to hlcp these I boys now in France, he had better keep his head down or he will get it knocked oil". The boys returning are going to have a big "say" in the running of the government. The Fuel Administration's request that there be no joy-riding Sunday has been generally observed ill Taze? woll county. There have been only a few instances where the law has been violated. A WOMAN'S CALL TO THE NA? TION'S WOMANHOOD. 1 IS Learning Avenue. Wildwood, N. J. Stfpl. 14. Mr. Richard II. Edmonds Editor Mo.'.iitfacturerN Record Baltimore, Md. My Dear Mr. Edmonds: I If I had had l'..0 gln.st of an idea I thai my letter to yen was t. bo pub lishetl, I might have writcen differ? ently. Not less earnestly; no, not that; but I would have more consis? tently made my i lea pla'n in ..hut manner and what degree the Gor? man high command was to In- punish? ed. But I was not really sure thill my letter t;> you would ev ?. I each its destination, fcr I did not know your address. I simply knew that you wore up there in thu sky throwing bombs 1 o.. an us yet only semi-awakened America, and so I look a ehu-.ci! and sent you a wireless. I wnr.t fd you to know that one ror>h< i : nd the sound judgment of ripe states? manship, he sees the basic issues in volvod in the world wnr; and with courage horn of assurance he sets forth in unmistakable and solemn ; words what must be done to secure ail the peoples of the earth in all the years to come from such tyranny as Prussinnism would thrust upon them. "It lias heroine a people's war," he says * We accepted the issues! of the war as facts. ? * ? and we can accept no outcome which does not ' Squarely meet! and settle them." Then follows his summarising of the questions involved and a straight forward declaration thai "there can he no peace obtained by any kind of a bargain or compromise with the governments of the central empires." Iiis reason for this position, held now by nil the allied world, is one of the most scathing ever uttered against the Hohciizollcrns and their caste: "THEY AUK WITHOUT HONOR AM) DO NOT INTEND JUSTICE, THEY OBSERVE NO COVENANTS, ACCEPT NO PRINCIPLE, HUT FORCE AND THEIR OWN INTER? EST." The league i f nations must have some binding force, for "without such an instrumentality, * ' * peace will real in part upon the word of outlaws and only upon Ibal word." Coming at tin- moment when the allied arms are everywhere pressing forward victoriously, when Bulgaria is begging for an armistice that is re? fused, when Turkey is staggering under appalling losses of men and ? rritory, win a the German chancel? lor himself is obliged publicly to take note of the wavering morale of his war-weary people, President Wilson announces, calmly, 1ml with force of a ('real democracy in every word, whal the plui der-mnd leaders of the li. 'i; must kno wthcir doom. SENTENCING A SYMPATHIZER. (Ohio State Journ il.) A Federal Judge out in North Da? kota has siMicnced a LuUicran preacher for uttering disloyal sen timetits and showing too slum;; nffec tion ror 'ho Bun generally. The sen? tence is for th ee years in the peni li itiaary. In delivering the son.once the judge loid how the accused had taken the oath of allegiance to this country, which meant that he was to put away his German soul and go about it to grow an American soul and then .'no judge adds: "Have you done that? I donl C:ink you have. Y u have cherished every t! ing German and stilled everything American. You have preached Ger? man, prayed German, reel German, sung German. Every though! of your mind and i vory emotion of your heart through all those years has been German. Your body lias been in America, bul your life has been in Germany. IT you were set down in Prur.sin loday, you would he in har? mony with your environment. It. would vou just as :?. flower Iiis tho loaf und stem of the plant o;i which it grows. There Is much wholesome truth in thai. This nation demands a loyal citizenship. This country has got to ho tho fatherland of every person who comes here, or he must got out of it. No man is compelled to stay in ibis country, hut if he does stay, ho must not ho sneaking about in the shailows, pa'ting its enemies on the buck. This is the way the Judge clos? ed his sentence: "When we get through with tin war and civil liberty is made safe once more upon Ibis earth, there is going to he a day of judgment in these United Stales. Foreign born citizens and the institutions which have cherished foreigners are going to ho brought to the judgment bar of this republic. That day of judgment looks more to me today like tho great day of Judgment than anything thai I have thought of for many years. There is goinjt to ho a separation on that day of tho sheep from the gouts. Every institution that has been en? gaged in (his business of making for cignilCSS perpetual in the United States will have to change or cease. That is going to cut deep, hut it is coming. IN PALESTINE AND THE BALK? ANS. t Baltimore Sun.) For sometime little news has come from the Holy Lund and people were wondering what General Allcnby was doing. Now they know. On Thurs? day last he made :: strong attack on a line of It; mile; and routed the Turks, taking 3,000 prisoners. This battle field is famous in history. It is tho scene of some of Joshua's cam? paigns against the heathen, who were perhaps no more cruel than the Turks of today. Engaged in tins battle against tho Turks wore many Moham? medan troops from India and Mo? hammedan Arabs who have revolted against Turkish rule. Also from tho Balkans and Mace? donia comes cheerful news of the suc? cess of the Allies. It is not to be wondered at that Germany and Aus tria are crying for peace. They I.now they an- beaten. After having stail-d the war and having been disappoint oil in the quick and easy victory they had anticipated, they now want to. make peace ami savethemsetves. If I they could stop the war and retain their army and bring their navy out' of hiding intact and lose no terri? tory, they would lie glad to do so,| and that is the hind of peace they, want. This would save the Hoben-j zollcrn and the llnpshurgs. Doubtless those potentates feai that when Cor-' many and Austria go down into com? plete defeat they will share the fate of Napoleon III, who was driven out by his own people afier disaster fell upon his country. If such terms of peace as Germany pleads for were granted, it would leave her equipped to strike another blow at the peace? ful people of the world and at civili? zation in general at the (list oppor? tun- moment. But the Germans have not yet been sufficiently her.tcn. Their teeth must be drawn and their claws cut so that they cannot see the wol'id on lire again. And the terms of pe.icc must, he diet-ted by the A Mies nnd not sealed by negotiation* with the defeated enemy. BUYERS OF WAR STAMPS (Conliucd From First Pago.) I W. W. Bandy. 100 I M. M.

Altizer, . 2001 of the American Bankers' Association WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR FACTS? Is there anyone in Tazewell county who will give the Kaiser one hundred dollars to be used in fighting the Unit? ed States? Before you decide, please remember that the money may be paid in cold cash; in currency; by chuck or draft; or it may he paid in services, just its the farmer used to work off his road tax instead of paying it in cash. Perhaps more people could pay in that way ; so let me restate the question: Will anyone in this audience do one hundred dollars worth of work for the Kaiser? Hut perhaps you wish to know the kind of work before you decide. It is to spread pro-German propaganda. I am not authorized to speak officially for the German Government, but I feel quite safe in promising that it would pay at least one hundred dollars to whoever will take every chance to repeat one rumor calculated to cause trouble in the United Slates. Our State Department has evidence that $5,000 was paid by Germany to one man for propaganda, and so surely $100 would not be too much for spreading one healthy rumor, such as this actual sample: It is said that Ameri? can Government is suppressing the news that the super dreadnaught Texas and two American transports, carry? ing 11,000 men, have been sunk. ! This is a pro-German lie, traced to its source by the Gov ; cm men t. j You may hear it tomorrow; or you may hear any one of a hundred similar rumors. [ What will you do about it? ? Will yon do your hundred dollars worth of work for the Kaiser by adopting that rumor and repeating it to all your [ friends and acquaintances? [ No, you will nail it as a lie! Hut how are you go'ng to do it? You cannot know all the facts about the war. Your Government give- you a very simple tost-question for the purpose. It is this: "Where did you get your Facts?" Fling that question in the face of whoever repeats a harmful rumor in your i rosence; pin him down to a defi? nite answer; make him prove up or shut up. You know it isn't any use to catch the propagandist un? less you can catch Iiis urora-anda too; you might as well root up the stalk of a dandelion after its flying seeds have been scattered all over the lawn. You can supplement the great work of our Secret Ser? vice by catching propaganda with that test question?and remember anyone who will always ask the question to him? self before repc-itimr .? rumor will never be in s^ny daneer of doing a hundred dollars worth of work for the Kaiser. I'll leave the question in your minds; uro it on the next rumor-repeater: "WHERE DID YOU GSJT YOUR FACTS?" ? From "Pour-Minute Men" Magazine. of which he is president. He added that business is not Buffering :is the result of the new economy. "On a recent tour on whi< h I in? vestigated war finance conditions in 19 States," ho said. "I became con? vinced that patriotism is no less at home than at th front. We are at home just as sure of victory and just as ready for sacrifice." Mr. Hinsch said Germany is bank? rupt, while the United States with :!00,000,000,000 in wealth, can carry on the war indefinitely. THE STILT-HEELED GIRL!
