SATURDAY. DECEMBER 14, 1918
Somebody sent our cat a nice red
necktie. He says that is all right;
that he likes a red tie just as well as
a green one.
We sincerely hope that the city
authorities will enforce the ordinance
against the shooting of fireworks
within the city limits. It is quite a
worthless, useless and annoying custom.
The only fun that a boy gets
out of shooting firecrackers is the
jump that it gives the other fellow.
If it were not for the fact that people
are annoyed by the noise, there would
be little fun in the practice.

guilt, failed, for it is an old story
that murder will out. The ruthlessenss
of German soldiers in territory
occupied by them will likewise be revealed,
for many photographs and
even mutilated corpses, in some
cases, have been preserved for the
purpose of proving the charges
against the Huns. No use now for
Germany to say, "1 did not do it," for
the mute witnesses will confront them
and will give the lie to their denials. :
Everybody should shop early, not
wait to the last, the very day before
Christmas, then rush around "like a
chicken with its head off" trying to
find something suitable to purchase
for presents to others. If each one
would but give a little thought to the
matter, it would result in a considerable
saving to the buyer, and it

shop so as to avoid the great rush
just a day or two before Christmas.
Take a day or a half day off and make
your purchases in orderly fashion.
GERMAN PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE
A friend of ours, a Union County
boy, who served faithfully on the
Western front, recently sent us a
copy of two circular letters which
were dropped from German airplanes
behind our lines. These circulars so
truly portray the cold-blooded materialism
of the German, that we publ:sh
them below:
"NEVER SAY DIE"
"Don't die till you have to.
"What business have you to die
lur r ranee, ior /usace-Lorraine, or
for England in France? Isn't it better
to live anyhow than to die, no
matter for how 'glorious' a cause?
Isn't it better to live and come hack
to the old folks at home than to lot
in the shell holes and trenches of
France ?
"You have had to hear many high
falutin words about 'liberty', 'humanity',
and 'making the world safe for
Democracy' but, honest, now aren't
these catch words merely sugar coating
to the bitter pill of making you
spend wretched months far from
home? Do you really believe these
German soldier boys in their faded
gray uniforms on the other side of
"No Man's Land" are hot on the trail
of your liberties ?
"Just like you, they want the war
to end with honor so they can go
back to their home folks. All they
want is a chance to live, and let live.
"And so if it should happen to you
to fall into their hands you will find
that they will treat you fair enough
on the principle of 'live and let live.'
Whv run onv mnro ntionoon
* -v -?- ?v >" C V..MMW3 tuaii jrwu
have to, you might as well be a free
boarder in Germany till the war is
over. YOU DON'T WANT TO DIE
TILL YOU HAVE TO."
The bold effrontery, the cold-blooded,
brazen materialist shows so unmistakably
that one can feel little
less than loathing for a people who 1
could give expression to such ideals,
and that, too, with seeming assurance. <
The second circular is like it in i
tone, and if anything, even more de- '
void of merit. It reads as follows:
i
"THE BETTER PART OF VALOR" i
"Are you a brave man or a cow- |
ard ? \
"It takes a brave man to stand up j
for his principles. Cowards stand be- <
hind leaders and die, imagining that 1
by so doing they become heroes. 1
"The motive of an act is its meag- (
ure. If you think the war is hell, and }
that you as a citizen of the United
0
States of America have no business di
to be fighting in France for England p,
you are a coward to stay with it. If tl
you had the courage to face criticism 0|
you would get out and over the top f<
in no time to a place where there is ^
some likelihood that you may see
home again. a;
"What business is this war in Eu- n
rope to you anyhow? You don't want %v
to annex anything, do you? You
don't want to give up your life for
the abstract thing?"humanity". s,
"If you believe in humanity and Q
that life is precious, save your own j,
life, and dedicate it to the services *j
of your own country, and the woman ^
who deserves it of you.
"Lots of you fellows are staying ,
with it because you are too cowardly jt
Our cat says he is watching the ('
advertisements in The Union Times v
preparatory to making his Christmas 0
purchases. e

WHAT OF FUTURE WARS?
g
(By H. H. Windsor, in the January n
Popular Mechanics Magazine.) c
And what of future wars? Will na- fj
tion war against nation in the days ti
to come, and win the refinement of 2
cruelty in killing be still further de- h
veloped from its present advanced
stage? Just now, with the smoke p
and smell of battle still hovering in y
the air; with all its dead and injured 3
and sick fresh in mind, we find it hard p
to imagine that another war could a
be . ti
It is difficult to believe that any na- s
tion is likely to deliberately make war
upon another nation so strong and ti
powerful as to almost insure the de- v
feat of the aggressor. Germany was n
positive in her belief of her super- ii
strength to win, otherwise she would c
have postponed the day until she was ii
sure. v
We preserve order in our cities ii
largely by prevention; there are peo- t
pie aplenty who dislike other people ~
to the extent of wishing to assault r
or even kill them, who nevertheless ||
refrain from doing so because of the
presence of police and the fear of
punishment. Except for those temporarily
unbalanced, the great ma
jority are peaceably inclined. Even
were the police inadequate, there is
the State militia, and even the Nation- ^
al army.
Theoretically, a system which suffices
to maintain order, and administer
justice and punishment, between
the citizens of any one country oupcht
to be capable of expansion to maintain
order between countries. Probably
the one thinpr which most stands
in the way is their lack of acquaintance,
one country with another. It j<(
is much less easy to understand what jc
a man whom you have never met tl
says and does, than after you come to p,
know him. A remark which sounds w
offensive may prove on acquaintance cj
to be intended as a compliment. In a<
other words if an international board a]
to maintain order and administer jus- fe
tice between nations is to succeed, ft
its member nations will have to know C(
one another hotter nn,i
f*i wv-nvc til*; (*|
golden rule. A good start has been ti
made; the English, French, Belgians, st
Italians, Portuguese, and Americans, gt
with representatives of all their sev- jn
eral dependencies, have been thrown ai
togethr as nver befor. uf
American tourists bent on a holiday
formerly returned to talk chiefly a
about the gayety of Paris until we 0f
thought all France frivolous; the th
English were considered a bit distant ac
and haughty, and so on. In the great at
melting pot of the fighting trenches, ft
the furbelows were all cast aside and th
the splendid manhood and ideal spirit Tl
n each has stood revealed. Precon- m
:eived ideas each of the other have m;
ieen reversed. Even the Hun has little
to say about the American being a
iollar chaser since the marines chased
?im o?t of Chateau Thierry. P?
It is well that our president should
10 proiesi, 10 assort your own wills. ^
Your wills are the best judges of
what is best for you to do. Don't ask
anyone's opinion as to what you j
would better do. Do it and save your
life. Germany never did any harm to ^
you, all the newspaper tales of ^
wrongs were printed to inflame you ^
to the fighting pitch, they were lies ^
?you know you can't believe what j
you read in the papers.
"If you stay with the outfit ten
chances to one all you will get out of
it will be a tombstone in France."
a
It is sometimes claimed that it does n
not matter what a man believes, that

will convince one that it is Germany's
philosophy of life that has destroyed
her, and that "as a man thinketh in t

NORWAY IN LEAGUE
OF NATIONS
Christiania, Nov. 15.?(Correspondence
of the Associated Press).?Norwegian
leaders in science, politics and
business have formed a society for
the purpose of enrolling Norway in
a League of Nations built upon a
democratic base, Professor F. Nansen,
the famous Arctic explorer and
scientist, has been elected president
of the society. In this introductory '
address, Professor Nansen said:
"The dream of a fraternity of nations
has suddenly come within
sight. It is the goal of which one of
the world's greatest statesmen, President
Woodrow Wilson, is aiming. The
reason why America is now able to
make this Utopian dream a reality
is because the nation is young and
healthy. America went into the war
only to make future wars impossible.
It will achieve that end."

ft ONE CENT A DOSE (1Tt) I
Dear Mary:?
I was not thoughtful when I furnished my home last. .
I did not get the right kind of a range. I tried to "save"
in the wrong place. So the other day I gave my old range
to my wash-woman who needted it and went down to The
Cooper Furniture Company and bought a new one.
Why, what a difference it makes! Women who must
slave hours every day in a hot kitchen should simply.
DEMAND of their husbands the most convenient range. . j
I wouldn't go back to my old one for one year for ten times
what my new one cost.
Your friend?HELEN.
P. S. You just go down and see the new ranges at
