No peace proposal should receive any consideration by the allies with ihe central powers unpunished and in possession of their loot. Any negotiated peace is but a truce in the war and no negotiations are possible with a conscienceless, faithless government whose plighted word is only a scrap of paper to be torn up at will. War has proved a profitable venture to the nations instigating it. As long as the criminals go unpunished and retain their loot, there can be no permanent peace. Nations deliberately plunging the world into a whirlpool of bloodshed, devastation find dest miction must pay the, penalty. Germany, the destroyer of civ ilization, and the en slaver and exploiter of peoples, must experience the ruin she brought to France Jelgium, Serbia, and Russia. Ger many must be made to suffer the horrors of invasion she has inflicted upon the innocent. She must be taught by bitter experience, that in this day and age, she cannot re peat the exploits of the barbarian conqueror and get a way wit h it. She must learn, in sack-cloth and ashes, that war and murder, rapine and robbery does not pay. The peace terms of the allies have been clearly stated. There is nothing to discuss with the enemy. The Ilohcn zollern and tho'Hapsburg and all their accursed remnants of feudalism, all their panoply of militarism, all their op pression ot peoples, all their subjugation ot little nations, their exploitation of the weak and their enslavement of the conquered, must go. The wrongs committed against human' must be righted as far as it is possible to right them. The loot must be disgorged and returned to its rightful owner and the bill tor the maniacal dance, of militarism paid. When the people of the central empires show that they really want peace by overthrowing their mad rulers and repudiating the doctrine that might is right the time to discuss peace will have arrived. All peace offensives of the' central powers are instigated lv tlie desire ol the rulers to save their crowns and retain their profit Thev are all insincere and hypocritical and designed to deceive their own r eorile and cause division in the ranks of the allies. Hut his bloody offensives on the western front they will all be futile. There ought to be no pence and we hope there will be no peace until the Yanks enter J5erlin and the Germans as a people have had such a dose ol war that they will in the future hang any one who advocates 'it. , , THE BELGIAN OFFER. GERMANY'S offer for a separate peace to IJelgium, whereby the kaiser offers to withdraw his troops providing Helgium remains neuatral for the balance of the war, but offering no indemnity for wrongs committed and robberies perpetrated, for citizens tortured and massacred and civilians starved and enslaved,, is characteristicly German full of that niegalonianical tact anil insolence that has cursed the German tis a ruler. It would be very nice of course, if the Belgians would kindly agree to close their country to prevent an allied invasion of Germany and the liberation of Belgians from servitude to the lluu. The kaiser could then shorten his front to defend the Luxemburg gateway and the Whine until such time as he wanted to strike the alljes in their flank when the new treaty would become a scrap of pa per like the old. If Belgium should agree to the kaiser's peace proposal. Germany would have profited bv the violation of Belgium (f-Hk'MHIO.OOO in cash in addition to the food she has stolen. the industrial plants she has looted, the materials she has pilfered, and the labor she has enslaved.

During 1i)t."i and 191H the Germans exacted from Bel gium an indemnity of 10 million francs (8,000.000) a mouth "for the expenses of administration." At the be ginning of 1917, however, the Huns found that, while Belgian industry was paralyzed, the banks still had plenty of cash on hand, so they raised the indemnity from -10 mil lion to (it) niillionranes l-'.OOO.OOO) a month, which the little country has been paying ever since. Kvery house in Belgium has been raided for metals, hardware, and anything else of value. All metal coins have been stolen ami the only gold and silver, or copper or iron that remains is what lias been secreted under the uroiind. Nothing has been overlooked to impoverish Belgium. And now the kaiser offers a separate peace, if the Belgians will only call the account squared and betrav their allies by barring the doors to Germany. Aud does he tor a minute think that the little nation will submit. ...i..... ..ii . c .i. . it i i i vtnvu an oj uie uuu uorror ar oaroarous mgiuiuiness has been unable to crush the Belgian spirit which, robbed of country ami countrymen, of property and possessions. .4 : II II l I .. . i;' . . .1.. l i". a , .

The bond buyers will pass upon the desirability of tho bonds from every point of view. All these committees must be satisfied that 'it can be done for J73 per acre. Wlhat will happen to the Mogue River valley after the war if we do not vote the bonds? A community must either progress or go back. We have been going back. After the war hundreds of thousands of acres in other districts will be under Irrigation and our young men and women will never re turn here but will go whore they can ma ko a good living surrounded iby other people who are doing the same. Why should there be any opposi tion to the M. I. D.? There are those who are ignorant who will not take the troublo to learn. There are thoso who are op posed lo any clmngo and who will not open their eyes. There are those whoso best Interests are served by living In a community which is hard up. There aro those who are lazy und who say: I scrabble along, why should 1 vote for something which will make my moro industrious neigh bor prosperous. There aro those who are timid and who fear Unit they will lose what they have. The best an swer to them, one and all is to point to the hundreds of districts all over tho west whero irrigation is prac ticed and to urge them to measure Iho difference lietweon a continued prosperity and what they know to lie tho cuse In the Rogue River valley. There has not been a flnsle visitor in our valley who has not answered the question: "What Is the matter with our valley?" otherwise than saying "You noed irrigation." They can not all of them bo either wrong or dls honost. ' What can I do to help carry the bond election of September 3Slh? 1. Do not full to voto yes. 2. It there is nnythlag you do not know find out about it. 3". If you hear nay statements that aro untrue correct them. 4. Learn all you can about the project by a visit to tho Irrigation office and spread tho truth. 5. Talk the projoot over with your neighbors and business friends. t. Open your eyes and learn what every progressive farming community In the west Is doliiK to make ready for -tho boys when they come homo from llerlin. Your board of directors Is capable and honest. Do not tlo their hands at this time. A volo for tho bonds Is a voto of confidence A vote against the bonds is of such serious nature that no ono should cast It until he has made such a painstaking Investi gation of the project. Dy voting Yes you allow I'nclc Sum to decldo If he wants our Increased food product by voting No you decide this question for your country. , Tho food administration repeats. "Food will win the war." It Is a fuel that today the Rogue Kiver valley Imports much ot its food products from oulslde. Willi all of the advan tages which we enjoy here Is that a condition of affairs to awaken the prldo In our community?

And why? Because with all of our advantages, our climate, our splendid citizenship, our soils, our schools, and churches, and towns, they can not make a living here. They can not make a living here be cause they cannot produce enough. They can not produce enough .because during tho growing season we are an arid country and an arid country must have irrigation. The officers of the M. I. D. have given unstinted time and thought to this matter and now they have come before you with one request: Spend a littlo time studying over what has been done. Do not vote blindly Yes or No but be fair to your selves, to your community and to your country. . W. V. DAItXUM. .1I.M HAiXSOX. JIM DALY. ; O. D. DEAX. DILLOX HILL. .1. A. PF.il RY.
