Some day that started out like
any other day of the year there will
be a different feel to the air; of a
sudden the hillside maples have
donned their alter garments and the
woodland choirs are chanting dirges
and vesper songs.
And then along comes the first
wind of autumn; it comes with
hesitation, its hat in its hand, and
draped in deepest gloom.
It mourns through the night under
the eaves, and rustles at dawn with a
wail in the falling leaves.
It doesn't have the howl of the

defiance of the March bravo; he

WHAT WE MI ST FIGHT FOR.
Affecting as It does every conv
munity, the Spanish influenza has be'
come a matter of universal concern
second only to the war. Is it some
thing new or' simply la grippe of
1890 in more virulent and epidemic
form, and what has caused It, While
the causative organism of the dis
ease, according to medical journals,
remains a matter of dispute, it
sweeps on unchecked, Doctors are
not agreed as to the best treatment,
but facts are established that all
people should know.
The infection is carried through
mouth and nose. Everyone in a
public place who is compelled to
cough, sneeze or expectorate should
do it in the handkerchief. This will
'check tie SDread of the disease If
cold is taken the simplest precautions
should be followed until a physician
is secured. The bowels should be
kept open, the patient should be put
to bed and every precaution used to
prevent a chill, while the diet should
. be light and fresh air abundant.
Alcoholic stimulants should be avoid
ed. If these simple directions are
followed and pneumonia does not de
velop, the prospects of a rapid re.
covery are good, but if pneumonia
supervenes, not frequently the case
if care is exercised, the matter Is
more serious.
By the observance of good general
hygiene the power of the body's re.
Kistance should be kept up, for it is
lowered resistance that makes one
susceptible to the disease. The pa
triotic response to the Fuel Adminis
tration's request to save coal, result
ing in leaving homes and schools
without heat during the cold, rainy
days of late September and early
October, caused thousands of colds.
With resistance thus weakened many
succumbed to the germ when brought
into contact with it in crowded cars
and oth'-r public places.
The Anthracite News points out
that many Pennsylvania collieries
have had to close down because of
influenza, which Is cutting down the
monthly output of anthracite by over
one million tons. Under war con
ditions this is a great loss, but it is
nevertheless poor economy if the
saving of fuel in homes and schools
is in effect adding fuel for the
spread of the epidemic.
i Dr. Karl Peters is dead, and the
Kaiser sent a personal representative
to lay a wreath upon his grave. It
is not altogether clear why William
the Damned went to that trouble;
whether because of Peter's annexa
tion of Kast Africa to Germany's
colonial empire, or because of the
outrages, tortures and murders
which Peten), through Bexual de
generacy, inflicted upon helping
natives, and wnlch caused him to be
dismissed from the Imperial service
in disgrace. After what the Kaiser
has sanctioned and ordered in Bel
gium and France, we rather incline

lary of it. The corner-stone of the
Hohenzollern is, and has always
been, militarism. The power of the
Hohenzollern can be swept away
only by destroying the foundations
on which it rests
The world will not be "safe for
democracy" if militarism remains
undestroyed, and militarism will not
be destroyed by an exchange of notes
with Berlin. The thing that started
Germany on her peace drive was not
the Internal political situation, but
the many weeks of steady defeats
Marshal Foch has administered to
the armies. The best answer to her
hypocritical and unrepentant appeals
for peace is the drive on the western
front.
The German army must be
smashed to smithereens. Marshal
Foch can do it, if we give him time
and back him up. When the German
army is completely defeated and
forced to an unconditional surrender.
when the German people have been
convinced that militarism has led
them to destruction instead of to "a
place in the sun," the Hohenzollern
will go of necessity. On this clear
ground a German democracy may be
erected.
Let us not becloud the Issue:
We are not fighting for anything
else than as Mr. Assuith says, "to
destroy Prussian militarism." When
that has been destroyed, no Kaiser
will have the despotic power to order
out, at 24 hours' notice, an army of
ten millions to fight for something
they know nothing about. Leslie's.
THE "WAR LORDS" END
The fall of the kaiser, Emperor
William Hot Germany brings to the
close a reign that began on June 15,
1888, upon the death oi tne men
emperor, Frederick III, father of the
kaiser who has abdicated. Fred
erick III reigned for but three
months. He took the throne upon
the death of his father William 1,
who had been proclaimed German
emperor at Versailles, France, at the
close of the German victory over
France in the Franco-Prussian war.
William I had become king of
Prussia in 1861 upon the death of
his elder brother, Frederick William
IV who was childless. William I
was born in 1797 and consequently

"He is quite distinguished from

least most of them. You know that
people of his rank, born in the
purple, come to believe themselves
different from their fellow creatures.
They attach little importance to the
wishes and feelings of others."

' PEACE WITH VICTORY.
Peace Is at hand!
Peace WITH victory.
Peace that proves Americans are
NOT to proud to fight when the in
terests and rights and ideals of the
republic are at stake.
The stone which the builders re
jected has become the chief corner
stone of the temple.
The boys over there and the
people over here have proved to the
world that the spirit of '76 and '61
and '98 Is not dead, but that it lives
in a determination for unconditional
surrender ot an enemy whose brutal
might was a menace to the world.
They were for peace ONLY with
victory, -and in this government of
the people they have had their way!
If this war had ended with this
nation neutral, a triumphant mili
tarism would have made the Ameri
can people understand that the
causes and consequences of this war
DID tonch us. Unprepared despite
the clamor of "anxious souls" we
would have paid in blood and treas
ure the price of disastrous and dis
graceful defeat at the hands of a
swollen power, with the wealth and
resources of the rest of the world at
its disposal.
And if Americans HAD been too
proud to fight, the name of the land
of Washington and Lincoln would
have gone down to perpetual dis
grace. Today It grows with a new
luster, and no one longer doubts the
power of the great republic to hold
its own with any foe on any field of
conflict.
To the men in the uniform of the
republic, marshalled beneath its flag,
the people of America owe an un
dying debt of gratitude. Their's is
the chief glory of the hour. In their
hands largely rests the future of the
republic in whose behalf they have
offered the patriot's full measure of
devotion.
But to every American of all the
millions, whose heart has loyally
followed the flag in this heroic epoch
in the nation's life; to every citizen
however high or humble, comes a
share of the credit and a part of the
glory that is the republic's. Now, as
never before in history, the world s
highest title of nobility lies in the
words: "I am an American citizen.
The victory has cost the nation
little in blood. The cost in treasure
the struggle has entailed is as noth
ing compared to what it has bought;
the respect and admiration of tho
world; the revival of the old Ameri
can spirit of devotion to the Hag
and the institutions for which it
stands; the raising of a new and
higher ideal of service and coopera
tion and comradship in American
citizenship which will impress Hself
deeply upon the future of the na
tion; the knowledge that ours is
above all a republic of ideals deeply
believed in and bravely maintained.
