LOOK AT THE ENEMY'S CONQUESTS
AND FORGET MILD PEACE AIMS
PAT no attention to "moderate peace" talk from Ger-
many forget the reiehstag program of peace by
negotiation without annexations or indemnities. So
sot be deceived by the utterances of any German Socialists
however sincere they may b regarding a peace based on
the status quo ante.
These voices from Germany are but voices. They are
not backed by anthority. Behind them lies no power.
Wilhelm rales with the support of his pro-annexationist
war party Jed by von Hindenburg von Lodendorff von
Tirpitz and vcn dem Bnssche-HadSenhausen. They are all
for war for conquest.
Foreign minister von Enehlmann ranch to the disgust
of the more Tabid Prussian element has always been a
moderate. If he had had his way in the negotiations with
Russia at Brest Litovsk there would have been no seiiure
of land from that unhappy country. It was his idea to
make peace with Russia on even terms secure supplies for
half famished Germany and concentrate on the west front.
He was overruled and virtually put out of the negotiations.
The German spokesman became Gen. Hoffman directly
representing the emperor and von Hindenburg and as soon
as Hoffman began to jay flown terms tne Russians saw
themselves confronted by the highwayman and his gun.
Hoffman demanded. Courland and the Baltic provinces
in addition to Russian Poland. The Russians refused. He
threatened the occupation of Reval within a week unless
they yielded. They again refused and the negotiations
were broken off. The Germans and their allies made peace
with the Ukraine a large section of south Russia and at
once began their invasion. It had progressed nearly to
Petrograd when the Russian peace delegates in panic
signed the peace treaty set before them by Germany with-
out so much as examining it. On subsequent examination
they find it takes from them Russian Poland the Ukraine
Courland Esthonia Livonia the Oesel and Dago islands
Finland the Aland lsianus ana inrce prone tea 01 xiusamu
Turkestan.
This is the greatest wholesale robbery of modern times.
If the central powers could quit the war right now they
would be immensely richer territorially then when the war
began.
But great as is the robbery of Russia it is not greater
tn proportion than that of little Rumania whom the Teu-
tonic nations claim to have forced to sign a peace treaty.
This treaty robs Rumania of Dobrudja which comprises
most of the southern part of Rumania and takes away also
part of the westward Rumanian territory.
See how the central powers have provided for them-
selves by these treaties with Russia and Rumania. Ger-
many gets Courland and the Baltic provinces with out-
lying islands. Finland may either be taken by Germany
or made an independency under the German protectorate.
Russian Poland will be a semi-independent government
under joint "protection" of Germany and Austria-Hungary.
Austria-Hungary will get the western portion of Rumania
as. mentioned above. Bulgaria gets the great province of
Dobrudja. Turkey acquires the three provinces of Rus-
sian Turkestan. It is thus seen that vast territorial ac-
quisitions for each of the four central powers are provided.
In the light of the mocerate" peace expressions from
many sources in Germany examine emperor Wilhelm's
exulting messages on the conclusion of peace with Russia.
To field mnrf" von Hindenburg he wired:
"How the costly prize of victory in the long struggle
: in our hands. Our Baltic brethren and countrymen are
liberated from Russia's yoke and may again feel themselves
German." This shows conclusively his annexationist atti-
tude and disposes in advance of any theory that the Baltic
provinces are to be made independent.
In a message to prince Leopold of Bavana in command
of German troops in Russia he praised his troops saying:
"In irresistible marches over bad roads in ice and snow
they did their utmost The victorious march in the past
fortnight will remain a glorious page in German history.
This proves the chief aim of the German high command
was to drive just as far into Russia as possible putting
hands on the farthest possible inch of territory for Ger-
manys benefit. ... .
What the central powers have seized in the east they
confidently hope to hold. The entente allies must now
guard against a very dangerous move by Germany viz: a
peace proposal.
Germany and her allies are apt to advance the proposal
that peace be made on the basis of restoration of Belgium
and the payment of an indemnity; restoration of the occu-
pied portions of France and Italy with indemnity for
damage; restoration of Servia and Montenegro; determina-
tion of Alsace-Lorraine by vote of the inhabitants and
restoration of the German colonies in Africa. The central
powers would count on holding their immense gains in the
east considering themselves vastly richer because of that
acquisition.
Such a proposal would find a welcome with millions
of pacifists half hearted patriots and war weary people
in the allied countries who would greet with satisfaction
la chance to make peace without loss. For instance many
Batons would say:
"The restoration and inaemniiicauon of Belgium wouia
satisfy our war aims why should we fight further?"
Many Frenchmen would grasp at a plebiscite in Alsace-
Lorraine if Germany would agree to a fair vote. Servia
and Montenegro would be glad to recover their territories.
Many in all the allied countries would care little how
much land Russia and Rumania lost Russia particularly.
Such a proposal must be guarded against because it
would mean a German victory. Germany must be beaten
not allowed to win. When this war ends the central
powers must find themselves forced to give up their loot
in the east and acknowledge themselves vanquished. Only
by a thorough and unmistakeable and final defeat of the
German alliance can this world be safeguarded against the
bandits' depredations.
Germany's robber barons of the 15th century are still
alive we have found. They must be put into the grave for
an time.

Teaching Troopers of Second Brigade to Kill Germans
Civilians Obtain Ammunition Now as Easily as Before War
"W
E ARE training the troop
ers of the second brigade
of the 15th cavalry divis
ion to kill Germans because that is
what the Germans expect to do to us"
said Brig. Gen. Hobart I Howze.
"The brigade is in good condition to
make a showing at Saturday's review
before MaJ. Gen George TV. Reld.
It Is our intention to develop singing
by massed bodies of the men and to
work out many forms of entertain-
ment at Fort Bliss that will bo worth
seeing by civilians and to bring the
brigade up to the scratch on athletics
as well as on the regular war train-
ing." "For the time being at least the
city's economy policy is affecting the
street department" said street com-
missioner John "W". Fisher. "We have
at present only one truck and two
mule drawn vehicles. The amount ot
work being done therefore. Is limited.
When mora trucks or other apparatus
Is added to the department grading
work will be extended appreciably."
"It Is surprising perhaps to the
outsider to know that it is Just as
easy to obtain ammunition for civil-
ian use now as it was before the
United States entered the war." said
W. H. Shelton. "The reason for this
Is the tremendous Increase in produc-
tion of ammunition and guns at the
bi factories in the east. I was at one
comparatively email eastern plant re-
cently and found the dally output was
about 1.250000 rounds ot ammunition
and 1800 rifles every day for the
government. This Is only one plant
all others having sped up their pro-
duction and Increasing it dally."
"At the coming Democratic conven-
tion the people of El Paso will get
what they have wanted for a long
time" said Judge J. U. Sweeney.
"For years the people of this city
and county have wanted to see a con-
vention that was not boss ridden and
the coming convention of the Demo-
cratic party Is just that. Anyone may
enter this convention and declare
themself a candidate. For myself I
would like to see 10 or 13 candidates
for veach position then the people
would have an excellent opportunity
to choose who they want. This is tbo
greatest opportunity to choose their
candidates the people of this county
have ever had."
"Now that members of the real es-
tate board have voted to assist in
every way in the cleaning up of 1
Paso I believe it is time for the law-
yers of the city to do the same thing"
said George R. LeBaron. "lawyers of
El Paso could do a great deal to co-
operate with officials in enforcing
the laws if they would bind them-
selves as a body to refuse cases for
those known to be prostitutes and to
discourage the giving of bond in such
cases. Personally I don't believe the
real solution of the social evil prob-
lem Is in driving these women from
the city where they may spread dis-
ease still further but in doing our
best to eliminate the conditions which
cause women to enter this life and in
correcting and reforming those at
present in this traffic preferably
through a. state Institution for this
purpose"
"Speaking of graft in government
contracts. X am reminded of the
shrewdest petty graft it has been my
experience to come across" said John
H. N. Larrlmore. "During the strikes
In the southern Colorado coal fields
several years ' ago national guards-
men On duty In the district would
work the following scheme: One man
would seek out a civilian and offer
him a pistol or some article of the
kind for a email amount of money.
After the civilian had purchased the
seeming bargain other soldiers would
step around the corner and place him
under arrest for having government
property In his possession. The
pistol would of course be confiscated
and the civilian seeing a. penitentiary
sentence apparently staring htm in
the face would often give up all the
cash in his possession to be released
by the soldiers. He would of course
be too frightened about his own com-
plicity in the affair to ever report the
case. Then the same outfit of sol-
diers would work the same scheme on
another civilian dividing the money
trained from the sale of the nlstoL and
the hush money that was given up. if
tne pian provea to oe tnis succession
I was told this scheme had been
worked successfully many times daily
for several weeks."
"The first man in the United States
to wear a coat shirt in my opinion
was Dr. G. G. Rusk of Baltimore
lid.." said Robert Cruikshank. "When
I was a boy about 28 years ago I
knew the doctor well and one day I
noticed his shirt was torn down the
back. The doctor was a wealthy man
and I called his attention to it. He
laughed and said. 1 tore that myself.
Wearing stiff bosom shirts and pull-
ing them over your head. Is a
nuisance and I tear my shirts up the
back so I can slip into them as into
a coat This I firmly believe was
the birth of the now famous coat
shirt."

Editor EI Paso Herald:
Tour dispatch from Austin of Feb
ruary 28 misquotes my position on
the national prohibition amendment
before the Texas legislature. I ac-
tively supported and voted for the
amendment. After the friends of the
measure had been heard from an ef-
fort was made to close the debate
without hearing from those opposed
to the amendment. I was opposed to
such procedure and made a plea for

LET TUX 3fKX FIGHT.
Editor El Paso Herald:
I have been prompted to make a
protest in behalf of the soldiers of tne
U. S. army by reading an article In
The Herald which stated that the
women of some city of a bordering
xtate were organizing a battalion sim
ilar to mat or ino isusiiii womei.
Now. in behalf of the soldiers of th
U. S. army we feel that the male por
tion or our Deiovea nation can hold
Its own on the battlefield and wish
to say that women were not Intended
by our creator to carry a musket or
dig trenches. And. furthermore we
as American soldiers do not wish to
compare our army with that of Rus-
sia's. That would make It necessary
for women to bear arms on the battle
field. We have not in the history of
our country oeen Deaten as fighters
and wish to say that we are not going
to be beaten in this war. Let the
women keep the home fires bright by
engaging In the work that is best
adapted to their sex and for the cen-
eral good of their country and let tne
men have the task of pursuing his
task on the battlefield.

.NO WORSE THAN" OTHERS.
Editor El Paso Herald:
Any person specially a stranger
would Judgo from the reports being
published relative to the necessity of
cleaning up EI Paso that our city is
about the worst on the map.
The truth Is that El Paso Is no
worse than other cities of like size.
In fact In many respects is much
cleaner more progressive more sani-
tary. Is healthier and I venture the
assertion there Is as little vice as In
any city in the state.
Why not advertise to the world
some of our good features Instead of
flaunting our few evils. In the Texas
Republic of March 2 a San Antonio
paper was a statement showing that
we certainly are cleaner and more
sanitary than San Antonio eo why not
publish the good with the eviL Cer-
tainly it Is that if our restaurants and
barber shops were not above par the
alert army officials would be furnish-
ing us reports regarding them.
The Texas Republic of San Antonio
said:
"Twenty five restaurants and 12
barber shops in San Antonio have
been-declared by army officers not fit
for soldiers to patronize. This action
came as a result of an Inspection
made of all eating places cold drink
fountains and barber shops to ascer-
tain how many of these were sani-
tary. Those coming up to the re-
quired standard have been given cards
certifying to their satisfactory condi
tion. An order Issued forbids soldiers
to patronize any of the other places. '

LICK OF CLEANUP FUNDS.
Editor El Paso Herald:
I read with a great deal ot Interest
the U. S. army's report on vice con
ditions in El Paso: also the replies of
tne city ana county oniciais.
I note they are denlorlng the lack
of funds to carry on the "cleanup."
The city and county should cooperate
In the work. The city appears to have
more money tnan it Knows wnat to do
with. A month ago I lived on East
Rio Grande street. Each day I would
see a truck manned by four husky
.Mexicans stop at uie corner to pick
up piles of sand that street sweepers
had left there the day before. One
would work at loading with his
shovel another would sit at the wheel
or the truck and the other two lounge
around and smoke clgarets. On one
occasion I noted the end gate of the
truck partly down and as fast as the
Mexican would throw in a shovel full
naif of the sand would sift back out in
the street They got away with about
nan tne original load.
Is this efficiency?
