IK (ilCIl.MANY fllVKH V-t ' All signs ludlcuto that Germany, worn out hy nnoiu than 50 lnor.lh.t of warfare, out-fought, out-gmor-u.'lod, and outwitted In diplomacy, ls acudy for- nn early surrender Is ready for surrender on any terun which tho allies may dictate. This, of course, is the ithlng for which our allies have bran fighting for more than four years, says tho noise Statesman today. This is tho consummation for which the American people have been hopln.f. preparing and fighting tor the Ht year and a half. And yet, now ithat Cermary Hernia toady to accept our tonus, the giaeial fueling b. one of dls itppolntinent, 'for If tho present di plomatic overtures actually lead lo peace Germany will have been spar ed knowing tho horrors of war on hot' own territory. V'hut the Amerlran and allied peoples have, been hoping for It a triuii'phant victo.y and lasting peace, but they wanted that victory and that peace to come only after ii I Med rnieg had Invaded Gar n-any's borders. Thoy wanted the wat carried homo to German soil There is. an utmost universal feol- !nc that Justice will not have been done, no mailer how stenn Ihe penco ..terms may bo, If Germany, oa a country. from tho war. It ls possible, of course, that England, France, Italy and Ilelglum will reject Germany's, ' present pro posals ovoii if President Wilson de termines to forward them to our allies. Or they may add to the president's 14 peace terms other terms of their own which the Ger mans will not at present, be willing to accept. In that event tlio ' war will go on, and there is no doubt but that If it does go on it will be carried to German soil at no very distant date.' " All signs, however, point to the fact that Germany ls going to stop fighting, no matter what the peace terms mny bo. In fuet several German generals and diplomats have already publicly declared that Germany will "throw up hor hf.nds" rather than risk a military invasion. If Germany stops fight ing the allies, too, will have to stop, and Impose such itorms as thoy see fit. War can not bo car. iled an by civilized nations against another nation or group of nations which has censed all resistance. But if Cornuiny wants peace at ary price one of the terms upon which the United States and the allies should insist should be a military occupation of Germnn and Austrian forts and cities, and al lied control of the railroads of itho I central powers until such tliuo as ! tho Teutonic armies have been on tlroly dlsbindod, and every term of the pernio treaty carried out in full. , And even at "that the allied peo ples will feel that Cormany Is "gel ting off too easy." good fit for every mail There are a good many men who have been going to tailors and paying extra high prices just because they think they're hard to fit; t , These men want to economize just as everyone does; but they know it isn't economy to buy inferior quality.

A fow days ago Tho Observer cited tho readers to tho fact that tho War Sliest plan of raising war roliet monies was being ndopLed throughout tho United States In the November campaigns, In one form or nnother, and that tho War Chest plan as adopted and recommended to the public In Union county hnd throe specific virtues which singly In combination made the whole plan worth while. The first great virtue of the plan Is that it s'ops tho matter of over subscriptions. In times like the present, wo must not only conserve fond but we must save pennies. This Union counly has not done on the con- itiary, it has beon distressingly ex travagant. In one yonr it have cvor-snbscrlbed wnr rellof funds 30.000 (not Inclusive of over-sub scription In iMnds). This Is a sum thnt Is almost half enough to meet the war relief needs for a year. Tho wnr chest will stop this leak and The Federal Reserve System Helps You It was created primarily . To help the business men and farmers; To provide plenty of currency at all times; To effect a steadier supply of credit. The system merits the support of all good citizens; it must have yours in order to reach its full development. You can secure the lencfits of this great system and at the same time assist directly in developing it by depositing your money with us. Member Federal Reserve System La Grande National Bank lavish loss of dollars, for not one cent more than the county's iust riuota will leave it for any cause. This war may last, one, two, three or even four years more, and from now on $36,000 will be hard to pick up. The regretable thing is this;--itho sum-already lost to us ciir't be regained, but another leak like this can bo prevented. Soon the country will be drained of Its surplus money and quotas will ccme only with difficulty. Why not conserve and store up, and pass K cut in a judicious manner and with greut care from month to month., The wnr chest wlU do It. This is leak number one which the war chest will stop.
