On to Berlin
The glorious news which
comes from France, telling of
how our troops and those of
our Allies have beaten back
the army of invaders who have
cursed every foot of ground ov-M
er which they have trod, may
well give heart to the nation
and to all civilization. It
would, however, be a serious
mistake for us to imagine that
this means the ending of the
war for it does not. We are a
long way from Berlin, and un
til the American flag flies over
Berlin as a conquered city, and
the terms of peace are written
there, and the Hohenzollerns,
the Hapsburgs and their lead
ers in this world horror have
paid with their own lives the
penalty for their unspeakable
crimes, it would be premature
to do much shouting.
The fight is yet a long and
desperate one.
We may rest assured that
before our troops cross the
Rhine and break down the bar
riers ahead of us there will be
fearful losses, and we shall
have to stell <jur hearts to a
full realization of the magni
tude of the task.
Germany, the blackest crim
inal in the world’s history, will
through every influence which
it can exert in this and in every
other country, seek to secure
peace whenever its military
leaders find that they are
doomed. We shall have peace
talk from some weak-minded
ministers of the Gospel, but
thank God! their number is
few. W'e sh<dl have peace talk
from many papers—some mov
ed by pro-German influences,
some by sickly neurotic senti
ment against punishment of
crime-—and whenever pro-Ger
man develtry can carry on its
work we may rest assured it
will be done, for many men,
claiming the livery of Heaven
will be engaged in the work of
the devil.
Many will seek to create an
impression that Germany must
not be punished and that its
people are different from its
military leaders, when every
intelligent man who has studied
the situation knows that the
people and the military leaders
are one and the same in the
support of this war.
The unspeakable individual
crimes which marked the
movement of the German army
through Belgium and France,
crimes which blacken the
pages of human history as they
were never blackened in the
past; crimes to recount which
Secretary Lansing recently said
“would sicken a tiger,” were
not committed individually by
the Kaiser or the military lead
ers, but by the people themsel
ves, in the armies of Germany,
encouraged thereto by the mil
itary leaders as a part of Ger
many’s campaign of Frightful
ness. These people must be
made to realize that sin must
be punished and that crime
must be atoned for, or else the
blood of millions of soldiers
who have died will have been
shed in vain, a»d the broken
hearted women, who have suf
fered as no other women in all
human history will go unaveng
ed.
The great danger which fac
es this country today is that
there will be a persistent effort
to bring about a premature
peace; a peace without punish
ment, which, if ever made,
would be a deep stain on the
I honor and chivalry of this Na
tion.
The Nation which condones
international crime is akin to
the criminal as the individual
who condones crime becomes
in effect a participator in the
immorality of the criminal.
It behooves every honest
hearted man and woman in this
country to make certain that
neither in the pulpit nor in the
press nor in private conversa
tion shall there be the lightest
word said in favor of peace un
til that peace be written in
Berlin, after the criminals nave
paid the full measure of penal
ty for their crimes.
“On to Berlin!’’ should be
the unceasing demand of every
honest-hearted man and wo
man, and he who does not take
that view of the situation is
false tc all honor and false to
all civilization, it matters not
whom he may be, or what his
position in life.-—Manufactur
ers’ Record.
The Kaiser has the wrong
idea. The war will end when
he asks for peace terms—not
when he proposes them.
An exchange suggests that
one reason why the negro sol
diers now in France want to
hurry up and whip the Ger
mans and get back home is
that there are no watermelons
in France. ?.
Germany is beginning to un
derstand what Presdent Wil
son meant some time ago when
he declared that “Force with
out limit,” would be the policy
of this country in dealing with
Germany.
The St. Louis Republic has
doubled the subscription price
of the semi-weekly edition of
that paper. High priced ma
terial and the new postal law
is going to force all newspa
pers and magazines to increase
their subscription rates.
The largest single order for
bacon and canned meats in the
history of the world—99,560,
000 pounds of bacon and 134,
000,000 pounds of canned meat
—has just been placed by the
quartermaster’s department, U.
S. A. for the army overseas.
LOANS TO OUR ALLIES
The United States Treasury
has extended additional credits
of $100,000,000 to France; $9,
000,000 to Belgium, and $3,
000,000 to Serbia. The total
credits advanced to our asso
ciates in the war against Ger
many is now $6,492,040,000.

Put Your Seed Bed in
Good Condition for Wheat
To get a good seed bed it is necessary to do your
work at the right time. With an Avery Kerosene
Tractor you can plow when you are ready. Hot
weather and hard ground can’t stop you. And
wet weather will not put you back long,
can even plow day and night if necessary.
Avery Kerosene Tractors are also light weight
enough so that you can do your discing, harrow
ing and seeding without fear of injuring your
seed bed. Getting your seed bed in good condi
tion is of vital importance. It spells the differ
ence between good crops and poor ones.
No Farm Too Small or 1 oo Big

Lend Your Money
As Freely As They Are
Giving Their Lives
You don’t have to fight, you don’t have to die
BUT—
Your son does, or your brother who is now across the
way—or the kid now in khaki to whom you used to
give pennies a short time ago.
That money you have laid away for a “rainy day”—
wouldn’t you give every nickle of it to keep a Hun’s
knife away from his throat?
Well, the Hun is here, and so is his knife—and so is
the rainy day —its raining now, raining bombs and
sharpnel upon our boys “over there.”
Make Every Day a Thrift Stamp Day
\ our government is calling on you, not just your nei
ghbor but you, to buy W;.r Savings and Thrift Stamps
Lend your money as freely as they are giving their lives
