PAUL H. HEARN Editor and Publisher. PEACE ON EARTH Not since the angel chorus two thousand years ago sang of "Peace oin earth; good will to men," announcing the birth of the Savior, has such good news been heard on ill earth* as that which Hashed around the globe last Monday, announcing the surrender of Germany. For four years the combined forces of evil, organized and led by the Ger man kaiser, have drenched the great er part of Europe in blood and taker, its toll of lives from every country on the earth. Obsessed with the belief that -there os no right and wrung, that might makes right, and must prevail, the German people defied teh world, ami have succeeded in causing more suf fering than had ever been dreamed of before. Rut. riirp t ViMS t rill muheil That part of the world which clunj to the good old belief that virtue must ever triumph over vice, that the prood was ever stronger than the evil, and believing, staked all on that belief, is at last rewarded. He that thought to rule the world by his terrible force is now a fugi tive from his own country?alnd peace has come to war-torn France and Belgium. Well might Kdwin Markham have aaid of Peace as he did of Brother hood: I "I bring to earth the feel of honu ' again, That men may nestle on her warm, ' still breast; l I bring to wronged, humiliated men 1 The sacri d right to labor and t< ' rest." i PRAYER FOR GUIDANCE In one of the darkest hours of the war, when calling a cabinet meeting to consider some of the momentous matters in thai crisis. President Wil Bon said: "Centlenn n, 1 wish thai those of you who he hove in prayoi would pray that wo may bo guided right in this matter." In connection with this statement it is appropriate to call attention to the fact that since the day of prayer for our armies in France, that was so iron orally observed in this country, there has not been n German victory on the field of battle. AFTER ELECTION REFLECTIONS The statement that "Republics arc ungrateful" has had numerous ex amples in the history of nations. In our own country ami in the recent election for Congressmen and Senators the statement might be modified by the substitution of the word "Republicans." The President asked that those Congressmen who had been his friends and assistants in war inea: ures aril war legislation be sent to Congress not those who had criticized him in his great efforts to win the war. It is singular that this request was granted in the last State in the Union in which we might have hoped for its consideration. In Massnchuset' , Senator .Ino. \\ Weeks, who was one of the President's most vindictive critics, was d<feated by the man whose election wan desired by President Wilson Ex-Governor Walsh. The secret of the mighty effort th. Republic;.i made to gain a majority in Congress v.as the prize of the coming pres.<lentif?l election. That Theodore Roosevelt has been nursing ven geance again ('resident Wilson ever since the defeat *>I the Bull Moose candidate is a well known fact. There has been a reconciliation of the Stand-pat* and Progressive Republican-' and the "Colonel" (without a regiment) expects to be the nosn; nee of the united party. In fact Roosevelt in the last Presidential election regarded Hughes as a weakling compared with his own great ability aad elf-confessed statesmanship. It is an admitted fact that had not the Urn d States entered the war when she did England and France 1 would so ,11 have l i'i'ii on their knees to Germany. I ho two allied nations were nearin; exhaustion when ' Russia withdrew from the conflict. [ With the tables completely turned ' afnd Germany now on her knees to ' America and the :?111<-s, to whom is ' more err lit due for this wonderful ' victory than to the Commander in- 1 Chief of our Army and .N'avy, Presi- f dent Woodrow Wilson?

GREATER THAN EVER The following letter from Dr. John !i. Mott, director general of the United War Work Campaign, is self-explanatory: "No matter how near or how distant permanent peace may be the long period of demobilization and the period which will precede the demobilization will present greater need than ever for the services of the sevr|n co-operating organizations and therefore the requestd oversubscription of 50 per cent, is most necessary. I have conferred with the war department and President Wilson and they strongly emphasize the need and importance of this work for the period to follow cessation of hostilities. "The months following victorious ending of the war will be accompanied with special dangers. We need not be solicitious for our soldiers and sailors when they are drilling and fighting and confronting the great adventure of life and death but rath re when this excitement is withdrawn and discipline relaxed and hours of leisure multiplied and temptations are increased. The seven organizations will then be more needed than t'er to prevent the period of demobilization becoming the period of demorilization. "It took over two years to complete demobilization after the Franco-Prussian war, 1 H months after the TurcoRu-sian war, lfi months after the Spani:h-A merican war, ten month.-; after the South African war, and 111 months after the Russo-Japanese war. All with whom we have consult ed agree that it will require more than one year to demobilize the American forces. "For this period of great danger our organizations are planning to enlarge greatly our physical and social program by presenting such counterattractions as to keep men from wrong associations and practices. We are ??vf r.rwl i>i<? lional program, involving using thousands of teachers and spending millions of dollars on text books and reference books. "A remarkable religious program of leading religious preachers and teachers of America to occupy all of the time of our men in these useful vavs will cost much more than to help them during fragments of their lime. "We therefore, call upon the enLire American people to subscribe generously in grateful recognition of the marvelous service rendered by >ur men and with the (irm purpose to make the period of demobilization not a period of physical, mental and moral deterioration or weakening, hut rather a period of character building, of growth in useful knowledge and working efficiency, and of preparation for assuming larger responsibilities as citizens on their return home.

The town had been almost wholly Germanized. French civilians had dis appeared a long time, ago and the signs over the shops were all in Ger man. On the streets and avenues mch names as Wilhelinstrasse had been substituted for those in French There was evidence that the Ger mans had carried on the usual activi ties in the ^municipality, but will lompletc contempt for previous con* litions and with a desire to wipe ou bny su/gestion ns to those who had formerly lived there. Their depar Lure, however, was marked as i? rthcr cases, by a desire to leave deso lation behind them. From end to ?nd the streets of the town and tin bouses reek with the stench of filth wifully distributed. The place wui x ovciil- ui iuoi, wanton oestructioi und cnfoulnient, but whether the work was carried out by order i. I not known. Ali such things as were portable are gone from the towns. Heavj furniture, including mahogany tables, wardrobes and pianos, were broken to bits and left in the houses. Interior decorations were irreparably mutilated. It was not simply a garri son community the Germans estab ushed in Buzancy, although the towi recenly was army headquarters. One of the houses bore an inscription, in dicating it was used as a rest house or club house for women. In a store were found magazines, many of them devoted to fashions. To-day, 48 hours after its occupation, buzancy is the center of an American troop movement. The short streets are jammed with the traffic of war and from the hill overlooking it and the hills beyond are seen lines of truck trains, marching infantry and moving artillery. From the south unending supply trains approach the city along distant routes in order to pass through Buzancy, from "here to be diverted alone the newly repaired roads to positions neurer the front. CALOMEL DYNAMITES A SLUGGISH LIVER Crashes into sour bile making you sick and you lose a day's work. Calomel salivates! It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea. If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated and ull knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver und straighten you up better than nasty calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money. If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides, it may salivate you, while if you tako Dodson's Liver Tone you Will WlllfO lir? foi?lin/r / !! ' ' ?
