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. v. 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 b per cent of a fine nard wax suitable for coating phonograph cylinders. , TUl TDIP OF NEW A mm HIS SHARE FIRST Why should the Germans wholl swallow a Kaiser choke on a little thing like Von Hintze?
