"SOFT" PEACE WILL GET NO APPLAUSE IN ITALY

declaring herself closely bound to them all by identical aims and ideals. Italy proved her words by being the first to recognize the Czecha-Slav and the Jugo-Slav nations. "Today Italy stands on her own front with grounded arms, because 'she has not yet received the means and the order to begin an offensive from the supreme war council at Versallle». However, the menace of the Italian army by itself, deployed from the Alps to the sea, is enough to prevent Austria from sending any material reinforcement to save Germany from the desperate situation in which she finds herself.
Still Outnumbers Italy On Front. "it should not be forgotten th^t Austria still has a marked superiority of numbers on the Italian front, and that the great victories of the allies on the French fror.t, in which Italy Is proud to take part, are made possible only because the allies have a great superiority of numbers over Germany. "When orders are received from Versailles, as well as the means with which to begin the offensive, Italy will know how to reach the high level of its splendid allies in military performance, and will redouble its ardor and

enthusiasm in the certainty of fighting not for the freedom of its brothers, but of all the races suffering from martyrdom under the Hapsburgs. "What Italy hopes for from its allies in the greatest t*ith, and especially from President Wilson, is that no pacts are made in favor of the court of Vienna, which through the centuries has done nothing except to imprison and kill the champions of national liberty, and that, together with the deposition of "the Hohenzollerns, peace conditions shall end the yoke of the Hapsburgs over the Rumanians, over the Czecho-Slovaks, o%Ter the Jugoslavs, over the Poles, over tfto tTKranians and over the Italians "In other words, the dismemberment of Auatria."

FRI1Z IS HOMESICK AND WEARY OF WAR

certain prisoners show how the government employed stool pigeons to conduct cautious socialistic propaganda among workers in the Krupp piantThose who expressed themselves in sympathy were reported, and soon received orders for military duty at the front.
Refugees escaping through the lines, as well as soldiers captured, tell of scarcity of food'and supplies among civilians. This is blamed squarely on the government—the prisoners blame everything that is unsatisfactory on the government in Germany, bmce the government assumel control of everything, the people look to it for everything they need.
Packages containing grain harvested in spare time in French fields along the Marne, containing shoes, clothes and everything the Germans could lay their hands on addressed to be sent home, show that families of soldiers no longer could depend on the government for satisfaction of needs. Prisoners seem depressed when reminded of visits home, and say the interior of Germany is in need of vital provisions, and scarcity of supplies grows more critical.
In areas recently recaptured from the Huns, the Germans had Issued army
If I am elected Prosecuting Attorney next Tuesday, I solemnly pledge the citizens that I will vigorously and impartially enforce the law and that I' willx prosecute every blind tiger oper^tpr, regardless of fear or favor.
I will not prosecute the little fellow and allow the big fellow to go. I will play no favorites. No man or men will own or control me. I will perform my duty and at the same time be just and fair., The people of Terre Haute want a cleaner, better and bigger city and I will help to the best of my ability.
Upon this promise I ask your support. I have been confined to my home for a week with Influenza and unable to see the
orders confiscating all cattle and poultry as well as other supplies. Inhabitants were made to work for the needs of the German army, no matter what their ages. Sometimes natives were paid, sometimes not, but never more than 60 cents a day, a sum wich buys almost nothing in Germany. The German army has undertaken to ration civilians in captured territory, allowing 160 grams of bread daily, a p»ece about as large as a small fist, but at army stores provided for civilians, payment was required in gold or eilver at excessive price#. Since few natives had gold or silver, many of them were weak from starvation when rescued by the allied advance.
That Germany is steadily growing weaker, militarily and in morale, as the kaiser's army is driven back, while the allies grow stronger as they advance, seems certain from all evidence one can gather by studying army reports on prisoners, by talking to prisoners and refugees, and by corralating available information.
Still Need Big Stick
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—Theodore Roosevelt, addressing an audience of negroes at Carnegie hall (onight, sounded a warning against any assumption by Americans that peace will bring "a millenium of good fellowship and brotherly love." "We must remember," «a!d Colonel Roosevelt, "that the most prominent exponents of the millenium of universal love are Lenine and Trotsky, and when they came to apply the theory the results were not so excellent as had been expected."
On the future policy of the American people. Colonel Roosevelt said: "We must set an example by steering a straight course equally distant from kaiserism and Bolshevism."
PEACE—WHEN?
Anthony Envrer, In Leslie's. When German homes are whiter bled, When three-fourths sawdust fills their bread. When paper clothes are all the go. And beer's just one per cent or so. When bombs drop in a steady rain O'er each munition plant and train. And when a few more riots shall li^speak the wane of all morale, When Ludendorff is roused from sleep To see the great All Highest weep A dozen saline quarts or so (if crocodilic tears of woe, When Hmdenburg's rolled up his line And Foch is wading o'er the Rhine—
Then watch—sit tight—hold fast— The great Peace L'rive will come at last. 'Twill say, "Come let's negotiate In friendly wise—for state and state." And Pacifi&ts with bloated lungs— And other lsts—will wag their tongues, Till over all there droppeth plunk Our Uncle's ultimatum—"Bunk!" We will negotiate, perhaps Among ourselves. As for those chaps Who offer peace, I much presume They'll have to us« an anteroom Until our Allied Council may See fit to bid these Huns "entree." And I suspect, in this event. There will be little argument A simple statement of what's what To make this world a peaceful spot!

in this home, the d"ar old red, white and blue bespoke their spirits true to do a part in this great strife for human rights.
Oh, may we all Join Mr. Wilson, our president, as he has asked, in a day of prayer. That those who cross the sea, to fight that Justice may be free, shall be upheld by our Redeemer, the commander of the universe. Surely, we who give our brothers, eons and husbands may find comfort in God's promise to defend the right and also that His guardian angel will follow each individual, for God ir mindful of the lilies of the fields *nd not a sparrow falls to earth of which He is not aware.

Mrs. Simpson, whose son Robert wa« in Camp Shelby with the machine gun company of the 152nd Indiana, that went from Terre Haute, says he often wrote of the beautiful and generous hospitality of the,people of Hattiesburg, and he especially mentioned Mr. and Mrs. Baskett, who were always solicitous of the boy's welfare and comfort while in Camp Snelby. He says Mr. and Mrs. Baskett entertained at least 350 of the Indiana boys that belonged to the 38th division in their home. At the request of Mrs. Simpson and several other Terfe Haute war tnothers, Mrs. Baskett went to camp on last Mothers' day and remembered the boys for their mothers with an automobile load of white Cape Jassamine flowers, providing a bouquet for each tent. All of this wa« done without any expense to the Terre
