The United States Demands an Unconditional Surrender.

PEACE BY NEGOTIATIONS. Fletcher Y. Stitcs contributes the following to the North American Review's War Weekly: Peace by negotiations? Do not disturb ine. I am thinking: Of flaming Louvain and its bloody shambles; Of the 897 civilians shot or bayoneted in the streets of Brabant, Belgium; Of Dinant. France, and its 606 inhabitants ranging from 3 weeks to 77 years, murdered by the gentle exponents of Kultur. Peace by negotiations? 'I am thinking: Of the Canadian officers and men turned into maniacs by the first gas attack at Ypres in 1915; Of the young Italian officers with throats cut, and hanging on hooks in the butchers' shops ia Venetia. Peace by negotiations? I am thinking: Of Belgian babes skewered on bayonets midst the cheers of marching Germans; Of the homes of murdered little ones whitening the plains of Poland. "There are no children in Poland under 6 years of age," says Paderew.ski; Of Italian boys and girls forced to march before the German troops in order that the allies would not dare fire. Peace by negotiations? I am thinking: Of gentle-eyed Edith Cavell facing, with superb courage, a Prussian firing squad in the light of early dawn; Of sturdy Captain Fryatt, who dared resist a submarine, murdered as a rare edition of frightf illness;

Of the bomb dropped from the Hun airplane into the i

English school room, and the twenty-five mangled little forms scattered amidst the ruins. Peace by negotiations? I am thinking: Of the bodies of white-robed American w-omen and babes from the stricken Lusitania washing up on the Irish coast; Of peaceful neutrals weltering in their blood on the deck of the cross-channel steamer Sussex; Of the captured crews set adrift at rea to perish without food or water. Peace by negotiations? I am thinking: Of Red Cross hospitals bombarded from th air; Of a dozen hospital ships torpedoed in the dark, and the cries of drowning Red Cross nurses; Of the Russian prisoner who had tuberculosis placed with other prisoners affected with bronchial troubles, in order that the latter might contract the white plague. Peace by negotiations? I am thinking: Of the AU-Highest's boastful philosophy: "It is my business to decide if there shall be war There Is only one law and that is my law." "Our mieht shall create a new law in Europe. It is Germany that strikes. When sh has conqueror! new dominions for her genius then the priesthood of all gods will praise the God of War." "America had better look out I shall stand no non ense from America after this war.". Peace by negotiations? Has the Christ, of Nazi.-etb who knouted the money changers from the temple st-vrk hands in partnership with the arch-fiend of Hell? 1'ntil then:

Hil imbliirttiiui, it is bt-lieved. t'l'iiuiu lo the popular belief that war ia a great '. in ill 1. 1 tie paper, it is the reverse in a financial - me. Thv expenses of. Kalheiing the news and of printI is ! vaMly loci cased in nearly every way in war .mien without Mtiy coresponding profit. .Scores of American new hpapeiM lately huve been compelled tu consolidate .iu. ellu-iM have Quit luisliicsn because of war conditions. KiHhtccn months ago the publishers wen- paying $-.or -t Siuiuiied pounds for iiewpiiiu paper. The Federal I'lado Commission biting in Washington, last Saturday, allowed another of the continued Increases in price to the iititnuttu'lurer with the result that publishers must now ;ity for the same paper, often now ol quality vastly in ici tor to that of the pre war days, $;!.7."i'.4 a hundred pound for rolls ia carload lots, and higher for sheet sizes. This price is f. o. t. mills and the actual cost to the pub lishei, delivered, is jiow about Jl .r. a hundred pounds. The publishers have been generally trying to meet these conditions by decreasing the number of page.; in newspapers, but this Is unsatisfactory to the public since it feels it is entitled in war times to all the news that it is posible to print. 4 It has been pointed out by one publishers' magazine that newspapers throughout the history of the business especially in America, have been guided so largely by sentiment that they have often failed to serve the publicbest because they have endeavored to serve the public too cheaply; that the manufacturer cf a cake of soap, as an instance of the reverse uf this, makes it to sell for at least five cents a bar and does not make it to sell for three cents because he doe not deal with split-hair prices, bait that a newspaper sometimes fails through an aversion to charg'ng what it is worth, this worth boing based not alone upon its value to its readers, which may be great

or little and which may be stable or tranjrttory, but also I upon the cost of production. j Nobody now expects to buy a soda for five cents be- j cause the things that go into the making cf sodas have risen greatly, and the price of sodas has been doubled. But the penny newspapers advanced to two cents regret fully and with many misgivings because they naturally j

wish to go into the hands of as many readers as possible and no doubt the papers now selling at two cents a copy and ten cents a week also will hesitate long before making a further advance, hoping that something may happen to enable them to go on serving the public at the old prices, yet knowing that nothing is at all likely to happen, short of a panic, that will bring this about. But if the necessity should come, as seems probable, for an advance in newspaper prices, the newspapers should take the public fully into their confidence in the matter and then there cannot be any doubt of the cooperation of those who read the newspapers which means practically everybody. . Of course the analogy between the advance of newspaper price subscription prices and the advance in the price, say, of sugar or soap, is not perfect. The public looks upon the newspaper as being, in a sense, its '----ritu-tion. It is presumed to be the expression of popular opinion as well as its guide, and beyond that and more particularly, it is a purveyor of news and the knowledge of news new things Is an essctial part of the ptr 3 business. Therefore the public is entitled to know that in eighteen months the price of newsprint paper has nearly doubled. The ink that is used on this paper, the cost of labor in all departments and the cost of all materials also have risen and they are likely to go higher rather than lower. These are facts. Every newspaper in the land, practically, is trying to evade these facts while meeting its debts and its pay-rolls regularly, because it does not wish to charge its subscribers five cents more on the week or one cent more on the copy, for its product, and all of them are saying, "Well, this war can't keep up forever and things'll go down then. But between the two of us the reader and ourselves the newspaper publishers are only fooling themselves and if they'd admit the truth and tell the public all about it, their readers would say, "We're for you what do we care about a nickel more a week when our butter's been going up a nickel nearly every week lately and they don't even serve toothpicks in a restaurant any more unles you ask for 'em?"

Announcement va made today at Purdue university that the war. department had let down the bars of voluntary army enlistment to the extent of permitting volunteer induction of registrants In the school of radii electricians for the United States army signal corps at Purdue. W. E Stone, president of the university, said this was the first move by the war department in this direction. The time limit has been set and registrants must enter before October SO. Applications must be registered in the draft, must be more than nineteen years of age, high school graduates, and must be able to pass the physical examination for military service. Applications are to be made in person at Camp Turdua to Lieutenant Minor, at the school of electrical engineering. Induction into this service means that the candidate becomes a regular of the United States army and is placed under instruction for a period of three months at Purdue.

THREE-CENT NEWSPAPER MAY SOON BE HERE. It seems inevitable that before a great while, owing to the rapidly advancing pries of newsprint paper, that subscription rates of newspapers must be advanced to three cents a copy from two cents, and to fifteen to eighteen cents a week for six issues by carrier and twenty cents or more for seven-day papers. Many two-cent papers already have advanced subscription prices and more

SOME MORE GOVERNMENT CONTROL. In the days of the past, patrons of the telephone company who desired to secure the correct time havs been accustomed to call central and get it. They may still put in their calls in the future, too, but they'll bo given no satisfying answer. Neither will it be possible to arrange with central to ring up the sleeping patron at night to enable him to get his train. The fire whistles may herald a conflagration but central vill make no response if asked the location of the blaze. All these bits of service and others similar to them are hereafter cut off. The telephone company ceases to be an information bureau, says the Fort. Wayne News On the order of the federal government which now has control of the wire service of the nation, the tele phone exchange can be employed only to hook up one subscriber to another. Thus if one desires the correct time he will have to call up the jeweler or some other individual who has it. If he wants to know who won the prize fight, or the ball pam, or ihe election, h'll have to get his information from some other quarter than central. - To be sure, this will exactly double the work of central'' in such cases, but then a benevolent administration is now on the job conserving man power and looking after the interests of the dear pee-pul.

Thla. the fourth week or the Intliienza epidemic at Camp Taylor, finds conditions much impioved. The total of deaths st the start of the week was 714. while 11.S50 cases had been treated at the base hospital, and 8.070 discharged. Camp officers expert to see a steady improvement in the situation this week and rora now on predict fewer deaths and few admisisons.

I. lent. Jamra DavMeon. non nt Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Davidson. 670 Harrison street. Gary, writes his parents of his thrilling experience going across, in which a submarine was bagged. "We have been here about a week."' writes Lieut. Davidson, "and have not had our clothes off in that time. We aie covered 'with mud. It rains continually. This camp is within hearing distance of the big guns and we will probably be moving nearer the big show all the time." Lieut. Davidson was commissioned to the rank of lieutenant at Camp Taylor, the biggest infantry officers' camp in the w orld.

By Bruce Barton I WILL tell you what will happen some night this winter in France. Some night when its cold and dark. There will be a rustling through the front line trench, where our boys stand guard. And a heavy ladened Secretary will make his way along. In his hands will be great steaming pots: in his pocket chocolate and cigarettes. From one man to another he will go, passing a cup full of hot coffee to hand? that tremble with the cold; bringing the

comfort of a bit of sweet and a smoke. Men will hail him cheerily, slapping him on the back; and when he has gone

things will be a little easier in that trench becauee he has passed that way. How much will it cost to make that trip, do you suppose? Counting the pittance that the Secretary is paid, and the cost of the chocolate and the cigarettes and all? Five dollars? Twenty-five dollars? I do not know. But whether it is five dollars or twenty-five, I'd like to think that it is my five or twenty-five wouldn't you? That some night when it's cold and lonesome, my money and your might send a Secretary out along that frontlinetrench. Let's make up our minds that we are going to pay for a score of those trips. A score of the nights this winter shall be our nights nights when the boys greet joyously the chocolate and cigarettes that our money provided; and are happier because our representative has passed.

DON'T BURN LEAVES. An appeal has ben made to this paper by a health officer to ask people to refrain from burning leaves and causing great clouds of smoke at this time. It is pointed out that the burning of dry leaves in the residence districts is conducive to irntation of the nose and throat and should not be done when we are in the midst of an epidemic which spreads through the nose and throat. The burning of leaves is regarded by some as a waste, anyway, as it is declared that if left on gardens and lawns through the winter they preserve the grass roots and rot into a good manure. Anyway, anything that helps along influenza should be stopped as a matter of public safety if nothing else.
