The city authorities are to be congratulated upon the appearance of the streets here last Saturday. In honor of the coming of the many visitors on that day Mayor Wharton had the streets clean and attractive, and the result was most pleasing. In the speech made by Hon. David R. Coker Saturday, told the story of a citizen of this country, captured when a German submarine torpedoed his ship and who was tortured to the death for refusing to say "God bless the kaiser," but would say each time, "God bless Uncle Sam." Be it remembered that this happened before this country declared that a state of war existed. It has been said time and time again: The reason we are in war is that Germany made war on us. We had no choice in the matter. The city authorities have had sign posts erected at each intersection of cross streets with Main street from the Peoples Supply Co. to the court house. All vehicles must he driven to the right. It is a very great safeguard to the public, although it may take the public some time to get used to the enforcement of the law. During the past few weeks some verv near accidents have transpired. With the enforcement of the law requiring everybody to drive to the right, it is almost impossible to have a collision at one of these congested corners. It is to be hoped that the public will cooperate with the city officials in this new move. It is to the advantage of all that there be such enforcement. Mr. David R. Coker, in his speech here last Saturday made the statement that the German nation, in their prosecution of the war has thrown aside every moral and religious code and are acting upon the principle that might makes right. We have long i believed that the great trouble has been the absence of any moral basis in the make-up of the German mind. They have builded a magnificent machine. They have outstripped all the world in the development of material resources. But here, as always, they j will find that failure is the ultimate | outcome. The sure foundation of a : nation, as well as of the individual j character, is moral first. There must be more than trained animals. There 1 must be more than material power in the life of the nation that endures, j The mighty throne of Germany is going to fall. When the wreckage is i cleared, it will be found that the element lacking was moral. REI) CROSS NOT NEUTRAL. But Wounded Germans Will Not Be Neglected. Washington, D. C., Aug. 11.?Many , questions have arisen as to the attitude of the American Red Cross to, ward Germans wounded on the battle! field, and also toward Americans of German origin affiliating themselves \ with Red Cross hospital units going abroad. To make clear the attitude of the Red Cross, Henry P. Davison, i chairman of the war council, authorizes the following statement: When war was declared between the United States and Germany the neutrality of the American Red Cross of course ended automatically. The American Red Cross can cooperate only behind the lines of the armies of the United States and its allies. But the Red Cross knows no such thing as the nationality of a wounded man. Any wounded enemy turned over to the care of the American Red Cross will receive as kindly treatment as any friend. The Red Cross will not only extend every aid and comfort to the armies of America and its allies, but it will assist in every possible way the sick, wounded and afflicted among the civilian populations among our allied countries. This is in conformity with the practice of the Red Cross Society in every country. As to the policy of the Red Cross in this country toward those of German origin: The Red Cross knows no difference and makes no distinction between any American citizen. In so far as base hospital units are concerned, the Red Cross equips and enlists the personnel of those to be sent to Europe to operate not only with our own armies, but with those of our allies. Once enlisted and mustered "into service, these units become part the-arrtiy of the United State*, and there is of course no discrimination by the Red Cross or the American army against any loyal American citizen, no matter of what national origin. Our allies in Europe, however, have requested the American State Department not to permit persons born in enemy countries, or of parents born in an enemy country, to travel as civilians in any of the Allied countries. Representations, however, have been made by the Red Cross, which it is hoped will ultimately prove effective, whereby loyal American citizens on Red Cross service may be exempted from the operation of this rule, no matter what the country of their origin. The Red Cross wants it clearly understood that it welcomes the cooperation of every loyal American, and that it does not regard that loyalty as measured by the country of his origin. PEACE WITHOUT PUNISHMENT PREMIUM UPON CRIME The more desperate Germany's plight becomes the more bluff it will put. up; the more it offers peace on its own terms, the more the traitors in congress who represent Germany , and not the United States will perjure themselves and work against this country and for Germany. The sentimental neurotic degenerates among women who flood a murderer's prison cell with flowers and scented notes will have many imitators who will seek to save Germany, the international rapist and murderer, from just punishment for its crimes. Millions of men have been killed, murdered, because of Germany's fight to conquer the world; hundreds of thousands of women have been outraged by her brutal officers and privates; innocent babies have died in numbers too great to be recorded; fathers and mothers and wives have gone to untimely graves in the awful agony of suffering through the sufferings of their loved ones. Hut weakminded degenerates, men and women, lea ?y uermany s lecnerous traitors to America and to civilization, will struggle to save Germany from defeat and punishment. Let such people he branded now as the accomplices of the rapists and the murderers, the favored friends of barbarism run rampant; and let every honest woman and decent man forever shun and ostrasize every degenerate man or woman who under the false cry of peace joins in the effort to save Germany from paying the full penalty of its Hell-born and Hell-guided work. ?Manufacaturers Record. The man who keeps on until he gets what he goes after is a wonder; so many start out after the bacon, and come back with the rinds. Anyone can find fault with pie, puddin' or pemmican; the pinch is that it takes such a smart man to cook better! SANTUC Santuc, Aug. 22.?Prof, and Mrs. N.

P? ma British Front in France and Bel- ?n gium, Aup. 20.?British tanks scored in* another triumph in the capture of im- a" portant German positions yesterday morninp in the neiphborhood of the re! Ypres-I'oelcapelle road, north of St. Julien. It was a tank show almost from start to finish, and the infantry t'e in this case played the part of super- elt numeraries in support of the leading actors, while larpe numbers of the ??! enemy troops added a final melodramatic touch by surrendering a^ abruptly or fleeinp in terror as the , heavy leads lumbered onto the stage . and "reached for their shooting irons." stl As recorded in the official communica- ?n tion, the British captured German defenses along a mile front to a depth a of 500 yards. Among the strongholds occupied were the famous Triangle, Hibau and Cockcroft farms, the sites of exceedingly strong concrete and r steel machine gun redoubts that men- j aced the infantry advance. It was dawn when the tanks linea , up and waited for the signal to "go^ ^ 4k.o> TVipi Brit;?*? observing no less of chivalry to the ;e4. tanks than to the infantry in the ai past, poured a preliminary stream of a shells into the German lines, then e dropped a barrage ahead of the iron ari monitors, which started forward. looking for all the world like great , dragons that had rolled out from one of Hans Andersen's conceptions into 1 the gray morning light that shroud- cei ed this battlefield in the "Cockpit of '"J1 Europe." ? Behind them came the infantry, ^ ready to do the cleaning up of the . remaining enemy after the tanks had finished their part. But there was little for the infantry to do except ^ assemble and care for the prisoners as the tanks progressed. There was hard fighting at several positions, such . as the three redoubts mentioned, but za it was always brief. . The tanks wheeled into position ar.d ea turned a heavy fire on the fortifiea- . tions, and the Germans were killed or else they surrendered. The eneny jn casualties were heavy. Great numbers ^ of Germans were seen fleeing ternr- j)n stricken as the tanks appeard in he ^ distance, and a considerable nunver threw down their arms and surrendered without offering resistance. 0(M AMERICA MUST WIN WAR A1 BY STRONG ARMY'S BLOWS do fai Pershing Says That This Nation Ruit Furnish Forces Which Will D?cide Struggle in Favor of vai Liberty League.

Millions and hundreds millions of acres of^land are availe for the enlarged production of dstuffs, and much of this land can utilized as rapidly as labor can be bilized and facilities prepared for ining it up for cultivation. Millions of acres of the richest land earth are being drained and made dy for the plow. )ne hundred million acres of cutir timber land in the South are tilable, and the owners are coming their forces to bring about the lization of these vast areas for the tduction of grain and cotton and s grazing of livestock. This is a country of illimitable reirces. The human mind can scarcegrasp the reality of the vast supes of coal and iron ore and copper i zinc and lead and timber and cer-powers, equal to tne needs, en fully developed, of supporting :1 giving employment to 500,000,000 >ple. We are mobilizing the brain and brawn of the nation to develop the utmost extent the utmost poitiality of these resources. \long the Atlantic coast, the Gulf ist and the Pacific coast shipyards ; springing into existence, and ships wood and ships of steel will be built ih an energy which the world never pore saw thrown into shipbuilding. The railroad forces of the country ve been united in a great cooperae system under which a few men 1 handling nearly 250,000 miles of I roads in order to produce the largpossible results with the smallest ssible friction, so that a great arm,, ly be gathered and trained and feci, d that the materials for shipbuildr and iron and steel production and of the vast activities of the nation iy be concentratecr upon getting idy for war. It will take a little time for a full ilization of the mighty potentialis of this nation to be understood her at home or abroad; but as no ler country on the face of the earth nbines such vast resources, such mitable sources for industrial and ricultural development, with a popition fairly homogeneous, despite ! considerable number of Germans II living here, so no other country earth has ever had the opportun- ? . : to throw into a world contest such IVI mighty power as this country is pre- | l iring to develop.
