from the enemy interfere with the

harder and keep moving until the

and peace overtures from our en
emies serve only to emphasize the
supreme importance of making the
Fourth Liberty loan a success, in "or
der to keep up the fighting pres
sure. "Now is the time above all oth
ers not to relax, but to intensify ef
forts that the goal for which we are

inevitably shall be won."

Council Bluffs Minister
is Called by N. Y. Church
REPENTANCE IS
BASIS OF PEACE
STATEJRITISH
Newspapers of England Find
No Real Ground for Discus
sion in Proposal of Ger
man Chancellor.
London, Oct. 7. Distrust of Ger
many's peace intentions is reflect
ed in comments made on the peace
proposals by the newspapers here.
"In Prince Maximilian's speech,"
says the Mail, "there is not a word
of repentance for crimes Germany
has committed.
"We did not allow Bulgaria to
tell us what to do. We intend to
act precisely in ihe same way with
Germany and Austria.
"If the German people wish to
know what guarantees President
Wilson and the allies require, they
may be embodied in two words,
'unconditional surrender.' The Ger
mans must leave the territories they
have occupied, restore the property
they have stolen, pay for all the
damagi: they have done and surren
der for trial by the allies the great
criminals of the war."
500 Great Criminals.
The Mail says there are about 500
of these, beginning with the emper
or. It also declares that Germany
will if. no circumstances be given
back her colonies.
"This method of approaching
peace is the method of a people try
ing to strike a bargain, and the
peace that is coming is not going to
be a bargain peace," says the Tele
graph. The newspaper sees a marked
change in Germany's attitude as to
certain matters, in dispute, but de
clares the proposals as a whole to
be impossible.
The newspaper repudiates the idea
of trying to reach an understanding
as to indemnity for Belgium. It
says:
"It is a requirement of simple jus
tice that Germany meet the account
which will be presented her for the
devastation and plundering of Bel
gium. There .are no fundamental
changes in the German administra
tion. Only a few men have been
shifted and the kaiser, and those who
rule him, are still the rulers of Ger
many." Admitting thaFthe latest German
peace move is the most important of
any thus far made, the Chronicle
says it is insufficient.
"No statesman who believes in the
Wilsonian policy of trying to end the
war once and for all can be content
with anything less than the final and
unequivocal elimination of the Pots
dam war makers," it continues.
"The criminals who launched the
war must be so unmistakably beaten
that never afterward doubt may be
raised as to who won it and who lost
it -
Americans Volunteer
to Assist Australian
Battalion in Attack
British Headquarters in France,
Oct. 7. (Reuters.) The camara
derie existing between the Austral
ians and Americans was illustrated
when , the Anzacs had passed
through the American infantry, ac
cording to program. There natur
ally was some confusion in the sub
sequent fighting.
After the Australians had car
ried their objective, a good many
Americans, who probably had not
unwillingly been borne forward, in
the advance, were sorting them
selves out preparatory to rejoining;
their units. Thereupon an Austral-!
lan started a recruiting depot in the
front line. Standing upon a heap of
sandbags he shouted:
"This is the battalion of
the Australian imperial forces, the
finest fighting battalion on the west
ern front. Who'll join? Walk up.
Walk up."
This so tickled the American
stragglers that most of them tem
porarily attached themselves to the
Anzacs, and when the battalion re
attacked it was considerably strong
er than before.

LIFT OFF CORNS!
Apply few dops then lift sore,
touchy corns off with
fingers.
Doesn't hurt a bit! Drop a little
Freezone on an aching corn, in
stantly that corn stops hurting, then
you lift it right out. Yes, magic!
A tiny bottle of Freezone costs
but a few cents at any drug store,
but is sufficient to remove every
hard corn, soft corn, or corn be
tween the toes, and the calluses,
without soreness or irritation.
Freezone is the sensational dis
covery of a Cincinnati genius. It is
wonderful.
