OPPOSES PEACE WITHOUT PUNISHMENT
, While ths following editorial from the Man
ufacturers Record voices a bitterness toward the
whole German people which many Americans are
rot yet ready to approve, the presentation is so
forceful that every reader will find in it food for
though and reflection:
. .The glorious news which comes from France,
telling cf how our troops and those of our allies
have beaten back the army of invaders who have
cursed every foot of ground over which they
havs trod, may well give heart to the nation and
to all civilization. It would, however, be a
serious mistake for us to imagine that this
means the ending of the war, for it does not.
We are a long way from Berlin, and until the
American flag filies oyer Berlin as a conquered
city, and the terms are written there, and the
Hohenzollerns, the Hapsburgs and their leaders
in this world horror have paid with their own
lives the penalty for their unspeakable crimes, it
would be premature to do much shouting.
The fight is yet a long and desperate one.
We may rest assured that before our troops
cross the Rhine and break down the barriers
ahead of us there will be fearful losses, and we
shall have to steel our hearts to a full-realization
of the magnitude of the task. '
Germany, the blackest criminal in the world's
hisCory, will, through every influence which it
can exert in thi3 and every other country, seek to
secure peace whenever its military leaders find
that thsy are doomed. We shall have peace talk
from weak-minded ministers of the G6spel, but,
thank God! their number is few. We shall
have peace talk from many papers-ome moved
by pro-German influence, some by sickly neurotic
sentiment against punishment of crime and
wherever pro-German deviltary can carry on its
work we may rest assured it will be done, for
many men, claiming the liverySof heaven, will be
engaged in the work of the devil.
Many will seek to create an impression that
Germany must not be punished and that it's
people are . different from its military leaders,
when every intelligent man who has studied the
situation now- knows that the people and the
military leaders are one and the same in the sup
port of this war.
The unspeakable individual crimes which
marked the movement of the German army
through Belgium and France, crimes which
blacken the pages of human history as they were
never blackened inthe past; crimes, to recount
which Secretary Lansing recently said "would
sicken a tiger," were not committed individually
by the Kaiser or the military leaders, but by the
people themselves in the armies of Germany, en
couraged thereto by the military leaders as a
part of Germany's Campaign of Frightfulness.
These people must be made to realize that sin
must be punished and that crime must be atoned
for, or else the blood of the millions of soldiers
who have died will have been shed in vain, and
the brokenhearted women, who have suffered as
no other women in all human history, will go un
avenged. The great danger that faces this country today
that there will be a persistent effort to bring
fcbout a premature peace; a peace without pun
ishment, which, if ever made, would be a deep
stain on the honor and chivalry of this nation.
The nation which condones international crime!
is akin to the criminal, as the individual who)
condones crime becomes in effect a participator
in the immorality of the criminal.
It behooves every honest-heaarted man and
wonjan in this oguntry to make certain that
neither in the pulpit nor in the press nor in
private conversation shall there be the lighest
word, said in favor of peace until that peace is
written in Berlin, after the criminals have paid
the full measure of penalty for their crimes.
"On to Berlin V should be the unceasing de
mand of every honest-hearted man and woman,
and he who does not take that view of the situa
tion i3 false to all honor and false to all civiliza
tion, it matters not who he may be, or what his
position in life.
A TREMENDOUS INSURANCE BUSINESS
Insurance applications received from soldiers
and sailors by the bureau of war risk insurance
now aggregate more than $25,000,000,000.
More than 3,000,000 applications have been re
ceived for a grand total of $25,148,118,000 the
total for July being close to four billion dollars.
Tha. average amount of insurance applied for
per man has been steadily increasing for the last
few months and is now about $8,500. The
maximum permitted by law is $10,000.
The bureau of war risk insurance now has
more insurance in force by three billion dollars,
than the ordinary life insurance on the books of
all the legal reserve insurance companies of the
United States combined.
When the United States first proposed to in
sure its fighting men other nations stood aghast
and many of them voted the plan impractical,
but Uncle Sam went ahead, arfd has developed
the largest, as well as what promises to be the
most successful insurance business the world has
ever known.
RED CROSS NEEDS MEN WORKERS
The Red Cross is broadening the scope of its
activities in the military and naval camps of this
country and is calling for men to assist in carry
ing on the work.
This work includes :
Rendering emergency relief - of every kind
upon request and with the cooperation of the
military authorities.
Helping soldiers who are worried about their
families and affairs by communicating with their
homes through local Red Cross organizations in
every part of the United States.
Sympathetic touch with men in base hospitals,
communication with families of patients if nec
essary, and the furnishing of emergency supplies
when called upon.
Supervising distribution of all Red Cross sup
plies, such as sweaters, socks comfort kits, etc.
The qualifications demand high-grade men be
yond draft age, acquainted with business
methods, and with ability to deal successfully in
a personal manner with other responsible men ;
they should be possessed of tact, forbearance,
discretion, energy and good-personal appearance.
Red Cross representatives in the camps have
the status of officers. . "
While volunteers are desired, all expenses in
curred by reason of Red Cross service will, be
paid, and where necessary a small salary in ad
dition may be allowed.
While acceptance of these appointments will
involve pecuniary sacrifice, the response is
certain to be large because the work offers a field
for constructive patriotic service which will
prove highly attractive to many men barred
from active military duty but who wish to help
those serving in the ranks.
With no other tool than an old knife or a piece
of broken glass, the natives of Torres Straits,
Queensland, make many beautiful ornaments
out of tortoise and pearl shells.

In France, until the introduction of postage
stamps and the rule of double postage for unpaid
letters, it was considered ill-bred to prepay a
letter addressed to a friend.
In Mexico there grows a wildshrub named
"candelillo," the stems of which yield from 3 to

masts by tomorrow morning, when tne
vessel is to be turned over to her new
owners.
