Is guaranteed by to Audit Uureau of t'lrculatlona A MOCKERY AND A DELUSION. The last German peace move if the terms as outlined in the dispatches are correct will get nowhere and accom plish nothing. It overlooks the most important demand of the civilized world, that before peace terms can be con Representative Young, of North Dakotawants Ger man prisoners of war broughl over and put at work in wheat fields of that state. According to those who are disposed to question the loyalty of the Nonpartisans there are plenty ot that element already in North Dakota. t While the kaiser is advocating autonomy for certain states in his last peace off ensive, he is sending troops into Bulgaria, in order to prevent the Bulgarians making a peace o ntheir own terms. The kaiser maks many prom ises, and tells the same number of lies. The kaiser majestically tells his people that he has "offered peace to the enemy." And how surprised this sidered there must be some sort of a German government ruler by divine right will be to find that just now his en that a treaty can be made with. Prussianism must be!emies are. more anxious to finish licking him than the are to have peace. destroyed before peace can be considered. It is unthink able that the allies can sit at a peace table with represen- - tatives of the kaiser whose unholy ambition has devas tated, the world, and consider any peace with him still - in power, and in condition to again plunge the world in war. . Militarism must be banished from the earth and the Hohehzollerns from all power. The peace offer so called will accomplish nothing because it was conceived in in iquity and begotten in sin. Because it is a sham, a snare, a delusion and a mockery. Because it is a subterfuge of the militarists to gain more time, to strengthen their de fense to promulgate still more damnable propaganda against the peace of the world, while asking peace. Its utter unreliability, its failure to understand the principles for which the allies are fighting are shown in the Prus-I sian acts as compared to the Prussian peace offer. While demanding that there shall be no indemnities, the Prus f an continues the wanton destruction of property in France. He is destroying deliberately, factories upon v mcn I ranee must depend alter the war. He is wreclang churches just in a spirit of f iendishness, since such de struction can have no possible bearing on the winning of the war for him. He is torpedoing ships without warning, and in violation of all the rule3 of civilized warfare, all the while pretending to desire peace. He is bombing hos pitals, murdering the wounded deliberately, applying the torch to the property of France, in city and country alike, and while hiding his sneering and cruel counten ance behind the dove of peace trying by every inhuman device that the devil only permits to a Hun, to terrorize the balance of the world into compliance with his concep tion of how the war should end. His sole idea now is to 'save the kaiser's job, and leave the unspeakable Hohenzol lerns, the erstwhile robbers and their military henchmen still in control and in position to plunge the world again into war. Peace with the kaiser still in ipower cannot even be considered. As a flax promoter the governor is selling off the cali a pwui iiul netueu su long as ne is in cnarge. mis is a proper move for if he is re-elected it will be at least four years before ltan be used. Every additional town and city burned bv the Ger mans in France and Belgium will make the terms of peace mey wiu eventually De granted just that much harder to comply with.

Rippl mg by Walt Mason lltllllaMA4aSAaiAA A A Rhy mes j HHMMItllMIHntlTW ' THE SACRED SEVEN. The Spanish influenza continues to spread, and the indications are it will sweep over the entire Country be fore its course is run. Apparently the death rate from it is being reduced, that is the per centage of deaths among those attacked, which indicates that some control is be ing gained over it. It is claimed a vaccine is being, pre pared at Washington that will prevent the spread of the disease. Absolute cleanliness is said to be necessary, both in preventing the disease, and in its handling,. once it is contracted. Like all other epidemics it will run its course in tira, and while the death toll may be heavy there is no use trying to run away from the disease. We should so far as possible avoid exposure to it, and to do this to the "best advantage every case of cold, or grippe should be isolated if possible. Each case should be reported to the health officer or at least to the family physician and every precaution taken to prevent the spread of the dis ease, and hold its death toll down to the minimum. Colonel Roosevelt in a speech yesterday took occasion to attack the administration because it had not long ago declared war on Bulgaria. Of course the Colond cannot understand that this very act, and President Wilson's stand as to how all countries should have a chance to be heard when the war ends and peace terms are being ar ranged, were the things that permitted Bulgaria to see her way clear for peace, and to abandon her allies.

The Germans die in every style that's been invented up to date; tftey lie around in nek and pile; they're borne away in box and crate. They fall before the roaring guns, and, planted, lack an epitaph; the while the kaiser and his sons are posing for a photograph. In herds and swarms, in droves and flocks, the Germans upward turn their toes; they perish while the landscape rocks beneath the marching of their foes. At Wilhelm's word the gray clad ones march forth to face the deadly storms; the while the kaiser and his sons are putting on new uniforms. Some guns now used are weird and strange, for countless leagues tneir missies wnoop; but no gun has so great a range that it can hit that sacred group. Though death may riot 'mid the Huns, and for the last survivor the kaiser and his stallfed sons will be concealed behind a church, lhe Huns march forth, and few escape the rag ing oiasc mai.iays mn low; 'most Prussian homes are hung with crape, and echo with the sounds of woe. At l otsdam, though King Death has won no victims for his well known grave; the kaiser, with each beery son, is hiding in the cyclone cave. . . n m l) i: .
