Teutonic .-, tribes. It is more than refreshing 4c realize thnt the, people. 'of this ' tountuy possess : .that humanity which, will not make the Uvea lost In battle in this great war, lost in vain.

Iho Observor never has felt that rresldont Wlliom'a fourteen pre requisites for peace were sufficient ly strong. In none of these 'four teen artlofcs Is "there a word ut tered about Indemnities for the French and Belgium people. . Be that as it may, there will be little attention paid to the peace screed which the Teutons have so carefully sont out around the world. . , ; : . Until Germany and" Austria bow the knoe, until those two conn tries admit to tho world they have been wrong and show iropentence, until dovasatlon has left Itself as a r.ionumunt beforo the Oormun peo ple to. remind them of what they porpotiftto'd upon the world, until the Kaiser,, with all his diabolical kin nro taken from power' and pliicod whore they will no longer Iiavo Influence, then, and not until then can there be peace talked that ' will bo genuine. , For tho presoiit the war will go on. Victories against German arms will continue. Right will contlnuo' In prevail and the Huns will be - phased from their hiding plnce and brought out fuco. to face with the Allies where tho bnttlo of right and jnstteo , will be won; where the enrth will be purged of the scum my Hun and Germnn Kultur will bo forever' crushed, just as it should be crushed. 23 ': :m Which Rind Are vloiirs l' . y ill There are only two' Jdnds-of clothes, those that save' : V. .
