PEACE EFFORTS
Every Soldier Determined to End
War Beyond Rhine "Revenqe"' for
Countless Brutalities and Years of
Bullylnn. 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.

KILLED BY JITNEY
I
ASHLAND, Oct. 9. 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.
Miss Kirschhaum was 69 years of
age, and had resided In Ashland for
over ten yoars. She had lately rent
ed tho family residence on Nob Hill
and removed to Iowa street. She was
a sister of Henry C. 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. A. Hawkes, the family
home being in Ashland. He states
that he has driven a car about six
months. The coroner's inquest will
be held Thursday.

LOST BATTALION
ATE OAK LEAVES
PARIS. Oct. 9. 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.
David Vark Griffith, who produc
ed "Hearts of tho World" and "Birth

Hazard and nearly famiflicd, llic
mon of the "lost bntlalion" rescind
Monday after liavlnB been Biirround
od for more than four days In the
Argonno forest, are now rocovoriim
from their harrowing experiences.
Tho men had subsisted partly on
oak loaves and many units wero so
deplotod by weakness that wounded
men had to take turns at guard duty.
Yet they cheered as they drove bail:
tho Ciernian force surrotindlns them.
When they reached the American
linos they wore white and exhausted
but wero Infinitely proud of their
Gallant stand. Major Whittlesey was
in command iff tho battalion. A sec
ond lleutemant came out with IS
machlno gun bullet holes "in his
clothes, but without a scratch, llo
had one bruise from a bullot which
had killed a man behind him. A
machine gun fired at this lieutenant
from a dlstanco of 30 feet and the
lieutenant's gas mask was cut away
but he was uninjured.
It was jtist after midnight when
the news first reached the weary but
determined men that help was com
ing. The rescuers rushed on thru
tho German lines, breaking one en
emy defense after another, and com
pleted tho rescue.
While fresh troops drove the Ger
mans in wild flight, tho tired heroes
of the battalion began to filter back
to their bases. Many of tho men
wore suffering from a variety of
wounds, but most of these Injuries
were not serious. They could scarce
ly eat when they wero served with
beef stow and coffee, but later Im
proved considerably In vitnllly nnd
their spirits are now as high and de
fiant as they must have been during
tho days when they wero beleaguered
in the woods.
