A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing. The president has put the bit in Prince Maximilian's mouth. "And the answer must be Yes or No. The points laid down by the president are to be discussed. If Germany does not want to accept them, let her shut her mouth and fight on. We have just begun to fight. Now is no time to even thing of talking peace. Let General Foch alone. He will cause his cannon to discuss . that. Now is the time to strike the hardest blows. The old Hun has seen the hand and has been read ing the writing on the wall. And that is why he is squealing for an armistice. The Germans only want to get a little time to begin 'to burrow in the ground for a hiding place, and to get ahead of Foch's land slide. But the sword will never stop rattling at their backs until they get on the other side of the Rhine and raise the white blanket. I say, let the sword dictate the terms on the battle-field, until the allies have won a decisive victory over the German army on the field, until we have achieved a Waterloo or a ?edan, the Germans will not be conquered. R/ush them on, General Foch, across the Rhine, to the imperial Palace at Potsdam. Retaliate, city for city, town for town, and house for house. The American soldiers got to France in time, with a spirit and rush that have brought results. It has been said that Paris had not laughed. for three years, but when she heard that America was coming she was ali ablaze. It is the clean hands and brave souls of the allies that has brought the barbarian to his knees. And I say, keep him down until he prays. Now it is up to Prince Maximil ian to tell President Wilson just who he is roasting chestnuts for. He must make some decision quickly, ? . even if it makes his knee-bones rattle. I made this statement over a year ago, that ditch fighting was contrary to American warfare. It was tried at Petersburg, Va., for ov er a year during the Civil War. I said that when the American army got on the firing line and raised the ' ."Rebel Yell" they would get the Huns out of their holes into the op en and they would run them ragged! Another thing they have done: They have been doing some flanking for the first time during the war. Now these are facts. War means fighting and fighting means killing, arid the best way and the only eff ective way is to fight in the open. Do like Gen. Polk sajd to his men in the Civil War, "Aim low, men, and shoot straight. Kill their bodies and God have mercy on their souls. The general was an Episcopal bishop and Gen. Cheatham was any thing else. These two generals were passing up the line at the battle of Chickamauga. Just as my command was about ready to plunge into the-j vortex, General Cheatham called out at the top of his voice and said, "Give 'em hell today, boys, give 'em hell." General Polk lost himself in the soldier and cried out, "That's it, give 'em what General Cheatham ' says." That is just what our boys ; are giving the Germans and that is just what they need. God knows that I am anxious for the effusion of blood to stop, but I do hope that France and Belgium can have the chance of invading German soil and making the Huns taste their medicine. I do wish were so that I could be with them ?o help give the Huns what Gener al Cheatham said. Let the cannon and rifles of the British and French and the Ameri can's little double-barrel shot guns which have so frightened the Ger mans, discuss the terms of peace. Let those terms be written with the sword in the* open battlefield. The only way to stop a war is to kill and cripple the enemy and catch those that can't be killed, and pen them. Yes, let this be the slogan of the allies: Strike till th? last armed foe ex pires; . . Strike for you altars and your fires; Strike for the green graves of your sires, . ' : '. -N . . God and your native land. -J. Russell Wright. NOTICE.
