(AV WW fc vw c Children Cry for Fletcher's The deliberate torpedoing of the hospital ship War ilda in the English channel yesterday was the climax of Hun inhumanity and depravity. The steamer had been engaged for two years in this work and it is stated this trip was the first in some time, in which she had not had a number of German wounded. This is looked upon as significant, and suggests that the Huns had information of this fact. It is also significant of the fact that the Hun idea is to murder the sick, wounded and non-combatants on all occasions. It is but one more added to the long list of horrible acts for which the German leaders must an swer. This brings up another feature of the peace terms when they will be discussed, and that is shall this ruthless murder and others like it be allowtd to go unpunished by the civilized nations of the world? It strikes most per sons, no matter 'how unresentful they may be, that jus tice will be mocked if any peace is made in which those responsible for such crimes against hum.amty are smooth ed over and allowed to go unpunished. It looks as though if woo o 1 11 fir tVio wnrlrl nwps t.n itself to insist on the pun- ishment of those responsible for such violations ot the laws of nations and of humanity. No matter where that responsibility is found to rest, whether with Von Tirpitz or the kaiser they should be made an example of as one of the necessary corollaries of any peace. So far the allies have refrained from retaliation in kind on most of the Hun atrocities, even the air raiding of unfortified cities, and the deliberate killing of non-combatants. At the same time, such crimes as that of sinking a ship car winir wounded, if retaliation in kind is not possible will stir a feeling of hatred in the breasts of the Americans at least, that will bode no good to their enemies on the battle field. Every act of the. Hun is calculated to stir the allies into making it a war of extermination instead of one for world peace; for extermination at least of the Prussian militarists who are responsible for such "endish deeds is necessary for the future peace of the world. If only annihilation can remove this element, then annihil ation is the remedy. ' , Most Americans who have followed the story of the fighting on the western front realized that there would be an enlarged death and casualty list following the two weeks' fighting, but many apparently overlooked that phase of the matter, and these will be startled at the list as it will show within the next few days. Yesterday the number reported was 706 and this is but the beginning of the enumeration. Great caution is being taken to see that the lists are correct before they are given publicity, and it is almost a certainty that the list as reported is correct. Of course there will be occasional cases of mis taken identity, but outside of this the list is as reliable as human intelligence and effort can make them. It will be several days after the fighting lets up before the com plete list can be made. It is anticipated that the house will meet Monday to consider the new draft bill and that it will report it out to the senate within a few days after that. General Crowder points out that there will be but 100,000 men left trio first draft bv September, and that if the calls for the three months following that date are to be met registration must not be delayed later than Sep tember 5. It is also probable that weekly registration will be required of those reaching the age of twenty-one. General Crowder estimates the number of registrants between 32 and 45 at 10,028,973,' and those between. 18 ;nd 20 at 3,171,671.- The bill was introduced in the house and senate both yesterday. Hindenburg and Ludendorff are reported as each blaming the other for the defeat that has overtaken the German army. It is probable one or the other will have to take the blame unless they can shift it to some less im portant officer. One thing is certain and that is that the Crown Prince will never be blamed for it. Pros mT niinil that T initrht be hannipr 1 j 1 1 ll i 1 a J ail. -! 1 1 1...

JOY COMETH. The dawn of peace is coming soon; I read it in the stars and moon, and F ma full grown seer; I read the planets, slick as grease, and I predict we'll back in peace by June the 12th, next year. Then we'll be paid a hand some price for every little sacrifice that now may chafe or irk; we'll have real bread of wheaten flour, and all we want, in that glad hour when peace gets in its wrok. Then we may seat outselves for grub, and not be told, by waiter dub, "You can't have beef today; it is the food dictator's wish that you should fill yourselves with fish and water ed consomme." We'll wear silk shirts if we elect, and no one will denounce, object, or say it is a sin; we won't be subject to arrest if we should have our trousers pressed, or wear a plate glasc pin. We'll motor on the village green, and burn up all the gasoline we can afford to buy, and none will say, "You help the Hun whenever your old boat you run! bhame, slacker, go and die! When peace brings in her sunny days, we'll all get back to normal ways, and find this life a boon; I watch the planets through a glass, and see that peace will come to pass s bout the 12th of June. So let us bear whatever load may on our shoulders be bestowed with fortitude sublime; when peace comes back we'll all be gay ,and gladly sing, "Calloo ! Callay !" and have a bully time.

When we were going out and enter taining I saw far moro of him than wlinn it was necessary, for any reason, to remain at homo. 80 I gladly gave up to him in his desires in this respect.

I "I heard Madge Loring say she wouldn't have believed it possible you were tho same girl that bought an etiquette book so that sho could study up and avoid making mistakes." I laughed with Evelyn over the re collection, but I also winced a littlo as I invariably did when anyone men tioned that episodo. I never had for gotten my mortification, and the feel ing I had when George burned the book I had in all innocence bought that I might learn to please him." "Mrs. Loring is "very complimen tary," then I added, "So are you, Evelyn." . "Keally, Helen, I woud scarcely know you for the samo girl.
