4 A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: . OCTOBER 20, 1918. HUN PEACE TALK IS MENACED AYS REV. TITUS LOWE Omaha Pastor Who Saw Serv ice "Over There" Says Re treat is Not Defeat, as . Some Think. Rev. Titus Lowe, pastor of the First Methodist church, who spent fix months in Young Men's Chris tian Association work in France, declarer that the present "peace" talk is one of the . most menacing things with which th$ allies have to contend.- "v The Germans are far from de feated and their peace proposals are nothing less than a hard stroke against the allied nations, he says. They are intended for nothing more N than that. They have retreated. Rev. 'Lowe points out, to a considerable extent, but this retreat has been con ducted in a masterly manner. It has not been a rout, the Hun cas ualties have not been extraordinar ily laree nor the number of prison ers, taken by the allies large con- v sidering the number of men en- j Now is the Time to rignt. Now, of alt times, is the time to continue the fight until the Hun mil itary machine, some time in the future, shall lie in pieces and no longer threaten a peace-loving world. "The retreat of the Hun army from July 18 until the present time shows genius of a high order," said Rev. Mr. Lowe. "We have talked much of Foch's giant pincers and how the allies were closing the jaws of the trap. But a cold analysis of the facts makes plain four things: (1) Notwithstanding our acknowl edged superiority in men, guns and aeronautics our advance has been comparatively slow; (2) the number of prisoners taken is not large in comparison with the number of men employed; (3) the Hun casualties in the retreat are not as great as ,. the allies' casualties from March 21 to July 18; (4) there is absolutely no sign of breakdown in the Hun fighting morale, no indication of a general debacle. Great Difference. "There is no wide difference be tween a calculated retreat and a co lossal defeat. Only the latter will insure lasting peace. Peaced based on anything short of a great victory for the causes of humanity would be spurious and criminal. The Hun government is not yet ready for the only peace that right-hearted humanity can grant. "Why tolerate and encourage so much peace talk? Much of it is in sidious peace propaganda. It has slowed up the Fourth Liberty loan drive all over the land.. It will un dermine tle fighting spirit' of, the home base, war work activities. This must not be. We did not enter this war be cause of anger, however justified, but because the soul of the nation burst through to a mighty convic tion, ; Outraged justice forced us to take up arms. That same inflexible necessity still bids us to set our facej as a flint toward a complete sma$hing of the Potsdam gang. The immediate necessity is not that bat tling Belgium shall be restored, that fighting France shall be repaid for all ts bloody, heartrending sacri fices, but that the massive Hun fight ing Machine be broken into unmend able! pieces. Every other consider ation is secondary to this. Time enough to talk of internal political upheavals when this primary object; ive has been achieved. '"r Should Harden Resolve.' , "When the Hun enemy, begins to weaken, as he does "now, it is" not. time to talk sentimentally of peace, but to harden our resolve to; but tress our spirits, and to call 'oh our reserve strength for the final over whelming blows. - The -bells of vic tory are being prepared to ring out their thrilling message; Peace, joy-bringing, soul-healing peace will one day come again t$ war-wearied humanity. But that hour is not yet. Siis is the fighting hour, the su en.e fighting hour in. the history of mankind. .' , - "As we value, our ' own souls we dare not flinch when the hot fires on the altat of sacrifice lick up some of 'our precious lifeblood. Every American grave in France, every khaki-clad lad who has died in America, every . American, body which lies, at the bottdnv , the trackless ocean is an unbreakable pledge that we shall not quit until we have fought through this war for humanity's freedom" Speaking Dates of Korris for Monday and.

"Earn and Give" Is the Slogan for Victory Boys and Girls' Club At a meeting at the University club Saturday J. H. Beveridge, chair man, announced plans for the Vic tory Boys and Girls' in connection with the coming united war drive. A card file will be made in which the names of every boy and girl in Omaha between the ages of 14 and 20 will be recorded. The file will be built by the manual training boys and the names will be taken from the school census. Mr. Beveridge estimates that there are about 14,000 children between these ages. Miss Belle Ryan, the assistant, believes there are 17,500. However, some of these are away at school. Each boy and girl is to earn the sum of $5 for the carrpaign. "Earn and give" is the slogan. Younger children are to be permitted to give, too. Two little boys under the age of 14 have already earned part of their $5 and were much disappointed when the age limit was announced, So a sort of auxiliary organization will be arranged for the younger It will weaken all purl children, v A million boys behind a million fighters carry on," is the slogan of the boys. "Every girl pulling for victory carry oh,""- is the motto of the girls. Chairmen and committees will be appointed for every school district and for each of the seven organiza tions for which the united drive will collect funds. A thorough canvass will be made of the children record ed in the card index, and then a can vass of those who do not "come through." There is an immense amount of work connected with this canvass, much of which will be done gratuitously by the employes of the school board. Miss Belle Ryan, assistant super intendent of the public schools, was elected executive secretary of the drive. The principal of each school will be in charge of the drive in their district. At the Central High school Miss Jessie Towne, dean of girls, will have charge of the girls' work while E. ' E. McMillan will have charge of the boys. Miss Jennie McDonald will be in charge at the Commerce high school. Father J. J. McCool will be vice chairman and will have as his as sistant Father Stetson.

Excitement in Douglas Street WhervMovie Opens It was at first thought that the Empress theater was violating Dr. Manning's ordinance regarding the closing of all theaters during the "flu" epidemic, when a crowd was seen congregating in front of the theater Saturday morning.
