The Stars and Stripes, the official
newspaper published by the soldiers
of the American expeditionary forces
in France, says editorially about the
enemy peace offensive:
“Let the weak hearted who
dreaming of a compromise;
pacifists who are talking a peace
agreement; let the sideliners
have had enough of war; let the se-
cretly inclined pro-Germans who
think this war should end without ai
decision—let them one and all know
once and for all that for the Ameri-
can expeditionary force there is no
such word as ‘Peace’ with the Huns
unbeaten. The man who talks of
peace today, except through victory,;
is a traitor.”
The enemy peace offensive is likened
to the action of German machine-gun
crews in the Vesle fighting, when they
fought and killed Americans until
they were surrounded, then shouted
“Kamerad.”
The mothers of the American sol-
diers in France want the same peace
their sons demand. All the courage
of the ancient Spartan mother is in
the hearts of the women of America.
The object of the fourth liberty
loan is to bring that peace—a just
peace, a righteous peace, an American
peace.

real cold weather. Some beautiful
scenery. Am well and enjoying life.
The rains do not stop the gins, ow-

From Friday’s Dally
Mrs. A. H. Wadsworth is in Mineral
Wells for several weeks.
We have received a card from
Davis Williamson, who left the fore-
manship of The Tribune for army
service in Jufie last year. He is now
a sergeant, and is in France with the
36th Division. He writes:
joying things,’ some.
Many of the farmers report that
they' are fairly well up with their
picking, but there is yet quite a lot
in the fields and houses at home to
keep the gins busy for sometime.
By far the greater pei' cent of idle
land in this vicinity will be in culti-
vation next year. So much for cot-
ton. It has performed what many
for a long time thought impossible
and is waiting to perform more. Just
put your eye on these Texas farmers
when they get into action.
Of course we realize that nearly
everybody is too busy to give the mat-
ter much thought, but they can, be-
tween times, begin to think of that
Markham-Bay City road. Let us not
allow another crop to come upon us
with that road in the shape it is now.
It just positively will not do.
We are not going to be really happy
and contented until we see every acre
of land in this vicinity in cultivation
and that road to Markham macadem-
ized. Now if you want to bring hap-
piness and contentment to a fellow-
man, get busy!
We are lapping off great chunks
of that $461,000 quota and will soon
be over the top. Good work was
done Saturday inspite of the fact that
it was one of the busiest days Bay
City has ever seen.
The gins are still
and day, thank you. And just to
think that the two here have already
turned out within 300 bales of what
the entire county put out last year,
with a few thousand yet to come.
