NUMBER 23
NO RELAXATION
NOR ARMISTICE!
Wilson Tells Germany That
She Must Stop Atrocities
on Land and on Sea
HOHENZOLLERNS MUST GO
* ■-
Germany Must Dispense with
Military Autocracy Before Getting Peace.
NO FOOLING OF UNCLE SAM
No Relaxation! No Armistice!
No Peace! Wilson has told Germany that she mutt flrst -top atrocities on land and seanjsd then dispense with the military autocracy,
which means the HohcnroMerns and
Junkers must get out. and -.inking
of ships, burning and spoliation of
villages, of goods and people must
stop and absolute safeguaid and
guarantees, must precede armistice,
bat flrst of all the Hohonzollern
crew must tret out. Meanwhile two
hundred and fifty thousand men a
month will be sent oversea* as heretofore and the fight must go on.
President Wilson Tuesday answered the German peace pro (Tor with a
note declaring snow that there can
be no peace with a German government controlled by a military au*
tocracy and no thought of an armistice wblle atrocities continue nn land
and seas so meu with their supplies
will be sent ovttr every month and
there wiil bo no relaxation of any
kind and he informed Germany that
the only condition upon which an
armistice can be granted is that
those atrocities  must cease.
It it undesrtood that tho process
of evacuation and the conditions of
ao armistice sro matters which must
be left to the judgment and advice
of tbo military advisors of the gov*
ernment of the United States und
the allied governments and thc President feels it is his duty to say that
no arrangements can bo Accepted by
the government of tbe United Slates
which does not provide absolutely
satisfsetory safeguards snd guarantee of the mslntensnce of the present military supremacy of the orrises of tbe United Spates and the
allies In the fleld.
"He feels confident that he can
safely assume that tbls also wili be
the judgment and decision of the allied governments. The president
feels that it is also bis duty to add
that neither the government of the
Uoitod States oor he is quite sure
that the governments with which
the government of the United States
fs associated as a belligerent, will
consent to consider sn j.rmistice so
long as the armed forces of Germany
continue the illegal and inhumane
practices In which they still persist.
At tbe very time that tbe Ger*
man government approaches the
government of the United States
with proposals of peace its submsr*
ines aro engaged tn sinking passenger ships st sea: and no* these ships
alone, bat the very boats In which
the passengers and crews seek to
make their way to safety. And io
their present enforced withdrawal
from Flanders and France the German armies are persuing a coarse
of wanton destruction which hss ai*
ways beea regarded as ln direct
violation of the ruice and practices
of civilized warfare. Cities and villages if not destroyed .ore being
stripped of aU they contain, not
octly this but often of their very in-
.:.;tant__    Tho nations associated
i mt Germany cannot bo expect*
ed to Agree t* a cessation uf arms
while acis of inhumanity, spoliation
and desolation are being continued
which  they   justly  look upon with
horror and with burning hearts.
It Is necessary also fn order that
there may be oo possibility of mis-
uc^ritaoding thst the president
should very solemnlv call the attention of the government of Germany
to the language and plain intent of
one of the terms of peace which the
German government now ha? accepted, lt is contained in the address
of the President delivered at Mt.
Vernon   on the Fourth of July Isst.
It Is as follows; "The destruction
of every arbitrary power anywhere
that can separately, secretely and of
its single choice disturb the peace
of the world; or If it cannot be
presently destroyed, at least It
should be reduced to virtual im-
potency.
"Tho power which has hitherto
controlled the German uition la of
the sort hern described. It is within the choice of the German nation
to alter it." The president's words
thus quoted naturally constitute a
condition precedent to peace if peace
is to come by the action of the German people themselves. The president feels bound to say that the
whole process of peace will, in his
judgment, depend upon the definite-
ness and the satisfactory character
of tho guarantees which can bc given in this fundamental mntter.
It is indispensable that the governments associated against Germany should know beyond a perad*
venture with whom they are dealing.

Liberty Ix>an Rally
A Liberty Loan Rally in the form
of a Paul Revere's ride was attemi ••
cd here Monday night about ten
thirty o'clock. An army truck load
of soldiers, shooting p'vtols. shouting and ringing bells. c:»me down
Main street with red torches burning on all sides. "Wake Up. Wake
Up. Buy Liberty Bonds." was the
cry. The fire whistle took up the
cry with the fire alarm. Thc people
who were not aroused by thc shouting were brought out by the fire a-
larm. Bella were rung' and with
tho continuous shooting the citizens
were well stirred up.
After a tour of the town tho procession stopped at Tetrick**-
The lights were thrown on the t,t\i
mitt House so it acted haa a refi
or ami thc soldiers eloquently urge
the •mall audience to buy Fourth
Liberty Bonds. After a short .peed.
by one of the men, subscriptions a-
mounting to $4000 were taken and
the soldiers quietly and orderly left
town having roused Waverly citizens
from their sleep and making them
think that their real duty was still
to be done in buying moro bonds.

ANSWER HUN WITH A BOND
V county Chairman I have re-
ceived a number of telegrams siml*
jiar to the one I am publishing
: which is self explanatory. In this
: connection ! wtj-h to advise the
county of the present status of the
i loan subscriptions received to date
! whicii amount to £1)1.000 while tho
• county quota Is $189,700.
What are we going to do.    Shall
1 we  suffer   the  county  to go delin-
fftient and all of us bear the stigma
together   or   had wc all better join
.together   and   put   the county over
Uhe lop?    All   share in the pride of
hiving Piko county on the honor roll
P.*   you   want   your township on
! the   honor   roll?    lean answer yes
for you but 1 can not answer whether   you   are   willing   to help put it
there.    Thit   Is.   up to y«u.    it hns,
Iteen   the   history   <<f every Govern
I ment   Bond   issue   since   thc  Civil
; War   that   as soon as the crisis was
pa**,  the   bonds  brought  a   larger
premium in tho market.   4 per cent
bonds wld in the panic of 9G afterward   brought   13.1   und 2 per cent
U. S. Spanish War bonds afterward
sold   as high as 107.    It is not safe
to predict that after the war cl xses
these   b.»!id_   will   also go to a pre-
miura then.
We lose while they win if we fall
this week to oversubscribe the
Fourth liberty loan. With only two
days remaining, the fourth federal
reserve district with sales and
pledges of $92,317,250 was
$107,682,750. -diort of its $600,000
000 quota.
Many inquiriei were received at
thc district headquarters Cleveland
as to whether tho campaign should
continue in view of thc development
Germany's so called a.coptance
07 peace. In response D. C. Willis
chairman of the central Liberty loan
committee, last night telegraphed
to every city and county chairman
urging tho necessity of renewed
efforts in securing subscriptions.
The following telegram:
"Unbelievable as it is, we have
been asked to day from many quarters in the district whether tbe
Loan's campaign should continue in
view of the development in Ger*
many's so called acceptance of peace.
This astounding condition brings
us fsce to face with the evil purpose of our enemies to dupo our
ne6p«& and  to destroy  the Loan's
Succeea.
1.
r If 'this Liberty Loan falls
short, Germany will have won her
greatest victory of tbe war. The
hour was struck In which all real
patriots in every community must
aiiso in their might and hurl in
the Kaiser's face this answer. ''Give
everything we have if need be for
victory." Loan committees bear tho
grest responsibility of the hour and
must provide the great leadership
of the hear. In tho* name of all
that Is scared to liberty let ua give
the Hun the answer that will bring
htm to his knees. That answer Is
a convincing ooe. Subscription of
the 4th LostL     Let us go and get
it." d. c. waxi_L
