UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER
The Daily Times, by issuing an ex
tra on Saturday night, gave Cordovans
the first news of the acceptance by
Germany of President Wilson's peace
terms, and in today's issue an Asso
ciated Press telegraphic report shows
that nothing short of an unconditional
surrender "ill he satisfactory to the
people of file allied nations.
Had the Civil war ended at Hull Hun
we might now perhaps lie living ill
the United States of Calif 'rnia, or
Oiegon. or Washington.

In e\--iy great war ill hi.-iory final
x i. 11 ; y lias dated from some scene of
i i.rnege so terrific in its disaster that
live losing wide could not recover.
Despite the terrible loss of life in
any one of a dozen of the battles of
Die present war, on the Russian front,
at Verdun, at Catnhr.ii. at the Marne,
each side lias at length regained its
stride and continued the combat
Now Germany has lost Bulgaria, and
may lose Turkey as its ally But still
the 1-'-- of lighting men to its ranks
is not so great as that suffered by the
allies when Russia went down in the
Bolshie iki slough
Germany is still a virile, cunning
and desperately determined foe. Hav
ing now abandoned her dreams of
world conquest, she will fight the more
viciously for a favorable peace.
She will not yield up the uncondi
tional surrender the allies demand un
til her armies have been absolutely
ground beneath the allied armies'
heels.
But the Hun must tie crushed, if
needs lie, to tiring a trout an uncondi
tional surrender and a triumphant
victory for the allies.

The Fourth Liberty loan campaign
closes October 19.
FIGHTING TANKS FOR FIGHTING
TOWNS
The ten cities of the Twelfth Fed
eral Reserve District, ns well as
Alaska and earh state, which most
evince the American fighting cpirit
in the Fourth Liberty loan drive, are
to have tanks in action on the battle
front named nfter them.
Tills badge of honor has been defi
nitely agreed to by the war depart
ment at the request of Secretary Me
Adoo, as head of the Fourth Liberty
loan campaign, it is announced by
George A Van Smith, director of
publicity for the Twelfth Federal Re
serve district.
It means that each of the ten cities
of the West which most signally dis
tinguish themselves in oversubscrib
ing tbeir quotas of the Fourth Liberty
loan will have its name carried
through the Hun ranks as a tank
smashes its way across the trenches.
No more effective means could have
been devised to carry to the men at
the front the message tlv-t America
is backing them up to the limit.
To have its name printed on the
sides of one of these fighting mon
sters, under such restrictions, should
be a high reward for the patriotic
efforts of any community.
Do your share.
Huy your last dollar's worth.
Don't make excuses. Make sacri
fices.
