The United States Demands an Unconditional Surrender.

WILHELM, EXIT. Wilhelm, the Second, supreme egotist, barbarian extraordinary, the antichrist of the Revelations and ambassador of the devil, beaten, crushed and humbled in the duet, now knows his doom. The dynasty of llohenzo'l era is broken at the wheel. Imperial Germany is no itore. The world 13 freed of the Scourge but Wilheliu end is not yet. Let not those who wish physical punish ment for him Imagine for a moment that such could equal for a fractional part the exquisite mental torture and agony of the spirit that is his. There is no physical suf fering to be compared to the buffetings of a guilty conscience and a humiliated arrogance a conscience "with thousand tongues and every tongue a tale, and every tide condemning him for a villain." Spectres of rotting corses flit before Wilhelm's eyes, the screams of outraged women and wail of dying babes are dinned into his ears sleeping and waking. Where is the Hun Gott now? Where is his Fatherland? No punishment can fit his crimes except solitary confinement with his own thoughts. Pity? -He will look a long time for it. The world has no pity for him nor his. The world would see him damned for his inhumanity. History will make him answer for his murderous career and his own people curse him for the suffering he has brought upon them and the land he has mined. If this greedy power-lustful wretch had a spark of pity- in his bosom he would have made terms with his people long ago; he would have consented to give up his tremendous privileges and perogatives without being forced to it by the misery of defeat which is now his. He would have sent his coward sons to share the danger and sufferings of his people at the front. He would have obstained .from those acts of greed and murder in Bel gium and France wherever the German armies have gone, for which he is responsible because he could have prevented them while still waging aggressive war. Let the allies be inexorable. As Wilhelm has done unto others let them do unto him. The mark of Cain is on him, for "not all Neptune's zreat ocean will wash blood clean from his hands."

ECONOMIZING MUST BEGIN. The war is over, but the work of the United States is barely begun. Something must be done as soon as la possible and consistent to restore normal conditions. War prices must go and the amazingly high cost of living reduced.

Congress must call on the executive departments of

the government to economize and reduce war expenses now that the armistice has been signed.

Even Senator Martin, democratic leader in the senate, said yesterday that appropriations for war purposes

in the last two years have aggregated $57,000,000,000, and that he is deeply concerned over the effect the expenditures are having on the country.

Leaders of both parties share his view, he said, add

ing that he soon would have something to say in the sen

ate on the necessity for curtailing government expenses

after the armistlc is signed. Eitravagance in war expenditures is admitted by

democratic leaders, the senator asserted, but it has been justified on the ground that it was necessary in order to guard against having troops in the field inadequately

equipped with ammunition, food and clothes.

The democratic leader declared his opposition to universal military training, saying it would lead to continued heavy expenses for cantonments and other war necessities In peace times. One method of curtailment of war costs suggested by the Virginia senator was reduction in the number of clerks employed in Washington, and abandonment of the construction of housing In Washington for purely war ac-

NO FAMINE, BUT FAMINE PKICES. it has come lo be takw. as a niattt-r of course Uicti .in Ci-uiaiodines gtow bCd.Cc prices shall go up, evtn viitn the articles .n question haw been bought far below he rul.ng quotation... The war has betn uiude an ex jjse for cnes of scarcity, and cries of scarcity have bet n iade an excise for war prices, insists the Christian Jcitnco Monitor. "Dr. Garheld, a while ago, told the people of the nited States repeatedly that they were face to face with . coal famine. His assistants notified those in certain loilities that so short was to be the supply of coal that the

. ghting of fires for warming houses might have to be :ostponed until December 1. The price of coal was ad anced to emphasize the gravity of the situation. It is now only about the 1st of November; those who could pay the price for coal have, as a rule, got supplies in their bins; the home fires have been burning off and on.

for several weeks; there is more coal in sight than the nation can use next winter, but there has been no lowering of the price. The argument will, of courts, be raised, that the high price of coal at the present time, and the threatened further increase, are due to the constantly increasing cost of production. In answer to this, it may be said now, as it has been said in the past, and with no lack of ground for the assertion, that the advance in price to the consumer is out of all proportion to the advance in price to the consumer is out of all proportion to the advance in the cost of production. "The Fuel Administration approaches the winter season well organized with stocks of coal on hand far in excess of the stocks of other years," says Dr. Garfield, in his latest statement. "We are ready for an unusually severe winter." He might have added, but he did not, that the coal operators, jobbers, and coal wholesalers also are ready for an unusually severe winter. With ccal commanding prices advanced out of all proportion to the increase dcost of production, the winter, surely, cannot be too severe for them. Notwithstanding the tremendous supply of coal, visible and invisible, Dr. Garfield still calls for the co-operation of the consumer, leaving the inference that that extravgant party, now that he finds coal to be plentiful once more, will be as extravagant in its use at tho war price of $11.23 a ton as he might be if it were put back to the normal price of something like $3.25. Perhaps it is because Dr. Garfield wishes to conserve the greatest supplv of coal the republic has ever had that he still gives the coal operators and distributors an excuse for keeping the price at the highest possible notch. It is pleasant to know that so important a commodity as coal is now plentiful; but it Is not pleasant to the consumer to be compelled to pay a famine price indefinitely for a plentiful article. The ecredule of prices for coal fixed by the govern ment on the famine basis should be speedily smashed; there never was adequate excuse for the rates allowed; there is less excuse for them now than ever."

ABE ACCOUNTS FOR IT. Our good friend Abe Martin, democrat thathe is, has a number of reasons to set forth accounting for the republican victory, and they are interesting to say the least. Abe says: "This is an age o' surprises. If anybuddy had predicted what has happened he'd be jugged as a lunatic. After carefully goin' over th' returns I'm convinced that th' sleeper rates f Chicago played a large part in changin' fh' complexion o' th' next congress. However, ther's no doubt that th six-cent nickel cigar started people V thinkin' an' caused much pop lar resentment. Events '11 have f prove th wisdom o' th' turn over." "I've been a Dimmycrat so long that Tuesday's landslide wuz jest, an incident. These hain't normal times. That a great many people have been growin' rich durin' th last two years, ther kin be no doubt, but our politicians overlooked th' great army o' malcontents that have been 6trugglin' thro th war on peace salaries eatin cornmeal an' liver an' payin four prices fer shoes with pasteboard soles. They wuz probably thinkin' o' the' wealthy riveters o Hog Island when they voted Tuesday. When fourteen-year-old track greasers kin make as much as th' governor o' th state, something bound t happen. When some fellers are makin' so much they won't lay off long enough f light ther pipes, all signs fail. We'll lick 'em th' next time."

SINCE the U. P. fox rs THE neighbor women say they Just can't BELIEVE a thing they see In tho papers anymore v AND even our beloved pastor Is Inclined to use STRONGER language than you generally HEAR at prayer meetings. SOME Ohio fool WANTS to make the nation tobacco-

lees JUST as soon as the alcoholic DROUGHT becomes universal THE Thou Shalt Not Idiot turned loose In A COUNTRY supposed to be free "WOULD make a fine little o!d mess of tt

IF he had his way. SOME of these fancy newspaper doctor writers SEEM to Imply that It is polite to SNEEZE In somebody's face EXCm- In an epidemic. OUU dearest friends needn't worry, the neighbor's cat MAY not sit under the peace table but she Is going TO be heard from AFTER this war Is over just as much as she was before IF we have anything to say about it. WE would be much more inclined to believe THE dear girls whose hands we LOVE to take in ours now and eftsoones IF they would only admit THAT they snored once in a great while.

WE understand from the financial journals THAT money is to be asler AND we suppose the paper means EASIER to get rid of. WE fully Intend after the armistice troubles are ov r TO go back to our Lillian Russell exercises for ACQUIRING & beautiful back. THE kalaer has so LITTLE understand of American PSYCHOLOGY that we suppose HE'LL either hang himself or get killed JUST In time for the morning NEWSPAPERS. GIRLHOOD has Us grave problems SUCH as how soon It's SAFE to wanh one's hair after recovering "FROM the "fiu." WELL. King Albert's throne, all shot to pieces as it is LOOKS a blamesite better to us THAN the one Kaiser Bill has been booted out of. AS every bride Is a beautiful woman IT puzzles us as we sit In OUR private boudoir near THE coal bin to figure out where all THESE plain married women COME from. SOME men have such a reputation for BEING terrors THAT the neighbor women often bor

row THEM to kick about things to THE hired girl.

i;rt! Id o::i.. one cjia. g-. .in: is in population. I san a train of t-oal pass. I'll bet six of our cars could have carried the load. We are having pretty good weather now but It rains once a day so we can't dry our washing. Most of the boys have gone to town, we can go to town every night until 10 o'clock. Last Sunday I walked over to a castle that the Monks used to live In years ago. It stands on a hill and a person can get a bird's eye view of Shrewsbury nne. The farms and river looks fine from there, the trees and grass are nice and green whic.t makes the country look good. Write and tell Uncle Henry to write me. I have seen several Interesting things In my travels. I hope I will get to go to France before this war Is over, but we won't come back until we put "Old Glory" on a flag pole in Berlin, we'll be satisfied then. Write lots of news and have a beautiful picture drawn In your mind of this camp, for It's a fine camp. With lots of love. From your son. PVT. W. C. HELLW1G, 852 Aero Squad., Camp No. 7. N. W. Harlescott, Shrewsbury. England.

From Alex Conners. Mrs. Rose Conners, Whiting, received the following letter from her son, Alex, who Is at the W. S. Naval Air Station in France, which tells of the "Y"

amusements over there in which he Is j

an entertainer: Somewhere In' France, Sept. 27, 1918. My Dear Mother: Well. I guess I've received all youl letters by this time. I got those you sent to and two today. Sure glad to hear from you again. I have Just returned from a two days' trip with our minstrel show. It surely Is a dandy. They Just rave about It. "We played at a nearby city last night at the Y. M. C. A. navy hut and Walter Damrosch's daughter, who has charge of the hut, said It's the best show they've had. They want to send us on a tour. Her father Is in charge of the New York Symphony Orchestra. Tomorrow we go on nearly a 200 mile trip. One of the ladies at the "Y" wants me to help put on a big Xmas show at the theatre in . Hope I get the Job. We had a fancy dress ball last week. My pal dressed like an Egyptian dancer. I wore a civilian suit, hat and cane and we won the first prize. You see we have lots of fun here besides having the finest hut in France,, so why worry? I'm enclosing some snap shots. Will send some more later. Will write again when I get back from my trip. Love to all. Your loving son. ALEX.

HERE'S REAL PATRIOTISM. It 13 well known that, during the recent days of draft registration, there were many aliens who refused to claim exemption on the ground of their nationality. One of the most interesting cases Is that of a Japanese resident of California, who is now a private In a machine gun company at Camp Lewis, Washington. Although not a citizen, he was satisfied to enter the national army with the double aim of fighting German autocracy and winning American citizenship. In a style somewhat reminiscent of Wallace Irwin's famous Japanese schoolboy correspondent, he writes: "I became American soldier since August 30. This is rather astonishing news to you. As you know, this government required registration of all male population for recruiting, both natives and aliens. Any Japanese who registers stating he will fight for Japanese government Is exempted from military service here. But when; I registered last year, I could not say so. It may sound queer for Japanese to enter American army, but Is not Japanese government fighting against Germany? My enlistment tere can bring same effect as my service in Japanese army. If I say I would rather enter Japanese army, It would not be so pleasing to American. Eut on the other hand, If I answered I am willing to fight with them, does it not give them satisfaction? I am unmarried; hence I will be a U. S. citizen if allowed; first showing I am worthy of it by fighting for them." The writer also expresses high praise of the way in which the United States Government takes care of the families of its soldiers. Stating that he hopes to be in France by December, he concludes: "There may be danger, but certainly also pleasure. We must die any

way sooner or later. Let me die for some lust cause."

Sergeant William Wllcockson, on of Mr and Mrs. I. Wllcockson of Fir St., Indiana Harbor, has sent from across

j seas a packet containing beautifully

embroidered articles made by French women in zones where they are under constant firing of guns. Youni? Wilcockson is with the aero-squadron and makes special mention of the great implicit faith these women feel tn their safety of the Yanks' protection. Ho also adds, "that victory is awaited any day."

The second day we were at sea I was sure sick, but have been feeling good since then. All this ocean is good for Is raising fish. I know they wouldn't beat their sides again any shores. There is not any scenery to speak of on this trip. The sea was rather rough at this certain place. Couldn't tell where It Is for the water looks the same to me. I felt the nearest to 'land was the bottom of the sea. We were sure glad to get on land. I am In Shrewsbury, England. I will tell you of the week's happenings. Every morning we drill for

i thirty-five minutes, then we go to shop j and work 75,3 hours, at 10 o'clock they serve tea and biscuits till 10:15, at 12:30

dinner, supper at 6:30 and retreat at 6:3ft. The morning papers state we are still driving the Huns back. If you know of any of the boys from home who are in the casualty list send them to me. Where is Karl? Do you hear from him?

From Roy Griffith. The following are two letters from Roy Griffith, Whiting, who Is a member of the 131st Inf., Chicago's "Dandy First," which has been taking part in all the big drives.

Dear Mother: I am in the hospital wounded. We

were In a drive on and we had to go through a woods, as I was going through I put my left hand up to keep the brush from hitting me In the face and I got a bullet through my arm. It Is not very serious. I don't think It will be long before I will be back with the rest of the boys. We made a rush on the 26th of September. I suppose you have read about It In the Chicago paper. We were on the line for 35 days. I don't know how the rest of the Co. Is. Well, mother, there Is not much to write about so I will close. Now don't worry as I am getting the best of care.

Llewellyn the other day, he said James and he were getting along fine. I suppose you have read about the push Sept. 2S. We took part in it. we took a num

Belgium. We had no trouble at all everything went along fine and we came out of It first rate. This paper I am writing on Is some of Jerry's paper, also the Ink belonged to him at one time. I am sending you an Iron cross ribbon one of the German prisoners gave me as a souvenir. I have a number of buttons

etc. from different armies. I have not

I am still living and feeling good, although Jf you knew what I have been through already you would think I would be In & hospitaL We are now located in a small village which was In possession of the enemy about a month ago. We are far north , a large forest composed mostly of Christmas trees surrounds us. The houses are made of logs and have brick fire places in them. It Is better sleeping In these logs houses than out in the woods. We have had a few skirmishes with the enemy and have come out the better. We were at an outpost and it was very strenuous for a few days. At night when oh guard every moving thing was the enemy. Tou feel very strange when under flre, the shrapnel hissing and bursting overhead. The first gun report made me very nervous and shaky in the knees, but I soon got over it. The money we have is of no value for there Is no place to spend it. I atlll owe a few dollars to a couple of the fellow and am paying the debt with cigarettes which are issued twice & week. I ant still wearing my B. V. D.'s for I nad n woolens in my pack. Have Just roealve a new barracks bags and will surely put 4 pair of woolens on. Am back in the village again etttBtf on a wooden bench near the fire ptaoa don't know how long wo will bo In thai village before we are called out atria. I havo a heavy beard on, am rery dirty, have not shaved or washed for week when we came in. six want o guard at tho (censored) and when w4 were relieved I hit for the house wtwre the boys were quartered and believ mm It did me good to aeo them. Small bar of chocolate were issued us and it was) a treat to taate candy once mora. Th way they are beating the enemy bade at all points we will be home soon. Many strange eights here, neaTly aU, the Russians here wear boots, wemesi and kids too. The priest wears a long? plain, purple gown, long hair which, reaches to his shoulders and a stlS stove-pipe hat. When out on post the) boys talked about home, their girls and eats and believe me it made me a llttl home sick. I wrote Mart and Chuck a letter when on th boat comiag to Russia, they '. shouft have received it by the middle of September. We have rot received any . mall as yet. I have very little time to : write, when we come In we have to patch our clothes, wash, shave and have plenty to do. If you want to send any- ; thing I have to get a permit Just like; Walt. I do not need anything but a ; home and you can't send that. I hop4 : everything is running smoth and every? one is well. With love. DICK.
