Universal Crv of Armies, Eager to Give Germany a Taste. ( By C. C. Lyon.) WITH TUB AMERICAN ARMY IN" irpANCE, Oct. 9. Germany is on her last legs and would bo glad to quit this war tomorrow if she could do so and save her prestige. But our side won't let her quit. Nowhere among tho allies on this side of the Atlantic, have I found the least inclination to be lenient with Germany, now that she Is reel ing and wobbling under the sledge hammer blows of Foch, Halg and Pershing. On tho contrary, the united senti ment is to give her a knockout punch a blow that will shatter her mili tarism forever; bring about the over throw of her Junker class; lay waste ! some of her cities and towns' in re i venge for the atrocities, committed by her In Belgium and France; and per i haps throw the kaiser himself- from 1 the throne and put him and his whole I family in some place from which they f can't again Interfere In world af fairs. . ' : j Sentiment of Holdfcrs A British colonel, who had just re ; turned from a furlough In England, s eptomized the situation when he ) said to me: '.. - , 'Here's a dirty bully. For more than 40 years he domineered over weaker nations with his vast show of military preparedness. He grabbed territory where he could and signed treaties expecting to break them when it suited his ends. Ho preached world peace to his neighbors, but all the time he was building up a mili tary machine to crush them. "When he thought ho was fully prepared to whip the world, he start ed the war. His adversaries wero 111 prepared to moot his blows. Natur ally early successes were on his side. And. as he flaw world domination al most within his grasp, his military excesses leaped all bounds, and on tho slightest provocation he killed innocent- women, children and old men, .murdored wounded soldiers, razed cities and towns, and carried young girls away Into white slavery. Our Hay IJiw Arrived "He said Ood was with him. But we knew better. So after, four years of bloodshed tho world was still un whlpped. And all the tlmo the giant (bully kept getting weaker and weak er, altho his ambition to rule the world was Just as strong as ever. A "And then one day, America came y .nto the war with everything needed o whip this bully; manpower, money ships', food nnd munitions. The Klme came, during July, when the bully was almost within striking dis tance of Paris, when American divis ions were strong enough to turn the tide of battle against the bully and the alllos sent hfm scurrying back toward his own borders. "Since that July day, Buccess in 1attle has never deserted us. A never ending stream of Americans has come on, and at last our side lui3 the permanent ascendency. After four years, our day has arrived. And the bully begins to sco It. Ho knows that ho can't win. So now. like every tyilly, he wants to quit. . Like the yellow, cruven coward that ho Is, he lmaginos ho can escape punishment by throwing up his hands and crying 'enough.' "Germany may tli Ink she has had enough, but we have not had en ough!" ' All Want Ilcvengo Perhaps statesmen and politicians don't see it, but the overwhelming sentiment In allied countries, includ ing America, Is for revenge, now that he final doom of Germany Is cer tain. She must be given a tasto of icr own medicine. In no other way fan the German people be made to eallze tho depth of their own mili tary depravity, and tho consequences of their national attitude of trying t.i dominate peace-loving nations by forco of arms. They must feci tho horrors of war in other ways beside going without food and clothing. The war has not been fought on German soli, and un less It Is brought home to them In all its hldeousness they'll surely begin preparing for another and even great er war after this one Is ended. Tho whole Frenrh nation applaud ed President Wilson's dcclaraiion In favor of a "derisive victory of arms", borause in France that Is taken to mean only one thing the liating of Germany. Therefore, we're likely to see allied troops marching thru the streets of liorlln beroro peace is declared. GERMANS DESTROY S.VISS BALL00V GKXKVA. Oct. !).

In recording a fatality due to an automobile acci dent, the long-expected has happened on local streets. Miss Mary Kirsch bauin was tho victim and the tragedy occurred on Tuesday afternoon about 3 o'clock, near tho First National bank corner. Bert Ilawkes was the driver of tho car which was in the jitney service. Ho was going east and Miss Klrschbaum was crossing the street at that point. She was seen to hesitate after leaving the curb. Hawkes also slowed his car, taking It for grunted she would wait until he passed. With an evidently mistaken idea on tho part of 'both, Miss Klrschbaum attempted to hurry across, was struck by the car and gragged some distance, bolng fatally injured. Siio was taken into Poley's drug store and lived about half an hour after tho accident. Concussion of tho brain and Internal Injuries are attributed as the causo of death.

Klrschbaum who died in this city in 1913. Her only known relative in this state is Ed ward Spath, of Gresham, In Multno mah county, who is a nephew. Bert Hawkes, driver of the car. is the son of S.

Tho Germans have been using in their air work a new typo of inflammable bomb, com bining great effectiveness with light weight. A sln'glo airplane, It is said, can carry 2U0 of those bombs. Tho only way of fighting tho firo caused by this new weapon appears to be tho solation of the-blaze, as pourng water on It is literally adding fuel to the flumes because of a chem ical with which the bombs are composed.
