THE GERMAN' MEN ACE
Proof that Germany has been
plotting against tha Ignited States
for more than nineteen years is said
b.v the Michigan Tradesman to be
given Irrefutably by the statements
and writings of Germans themselves
Tho Tradesman says:
"la 1S9S, at Manila, the German
rear admiral, von Goetzen, a close
friend of the k«isOr, said to the A
mcrican Admiral Dewey: 'In about
fifteen years my country will begin
a grta* war, during which Germaay
wil absorb Holland, annex Bel
gium, destroy France, cripple Russia
humble England and subjugate the
Uui'td States.'
" 'Some mon'hs after we have
done our business in Europe we sha
take New York and probably Wash
ington, and we shall keep them for
a f;m:. We do not intend to take
any territory from you, but only to
Dut your country in its proper place
.with reference to Germany. We
shall extract one or two billions
o» dollars from New York and other
towns.*
" "About fifteen years' proved to
fcp a close prophesy, because the
fcaiser started his long-planned I
v/ar c-n civilization and democracy j
wi'liin fifteen years and fifteen
m utts after the German roar ad
miral uttered his prediction to one
of America's greatest naval heroes.
"Tlie Tradesman has long had in
Us possession a series or book9 j
« ri'.teti by tht> different members of J
tilt jerman genera* stafr, describ- I
in how eactk on6 woula proceea to
*su!>Jugate America.' All of the
book3 are addressed to the kaiser
aud state explicitly that they were
written at the kaiser's request.
"In the ught of these positive
ptinted proofs, furnished by German
olficers of the kaiser at the request
of the German ruler—no American
citizen who has ordinary intelig
erce can fail to see that for more
than nineteen years the kaiser has
been planning to 'subjugate the U
jiited States' jn his determination to
with The cruel and tyrannical rule
destrcy democracy and substitute it
of Prussian imperialism."
AMERICA'S TASK
V\'hen tho United States entered
♦he -war, early in April, it seemed
tha* Ike overthrow of Germany was
but a short time off and that A
onerica ■would not have to bear any
heavy brunt of tho 'war.
But the situation, with Russia
helclcss, torn by interna] strife
which has followed tho downfall of
the C2ar, lias greatly changed since
Aorll 3, Germany has been able to
wi'hJra-w troops from the eastern
trcn* and thus strengthen her |
western lines which werel being pusU
ed back and broken by the French j
and British, troops. Her submariue
have become a terrblie menace to
France, England and the world. I
So America's task wili be a big .
CALLED THEM INDIANS. I
How the Red Men of Thi» Country
Came to Get That Name.
"But," salil the Uttle girl who has
now reached the dignity of owning a
geography, "why did they call the peo
ple they found in this country 'Indi
ans?' The people who lire In India
(Might to be called by that name."
Now, that was a very appropriate
question for the little girl to ask. And
the answer to the little girl and to any
other little girls and boys who may be
puzzled by the same thing Is that Co
lumbus and his men didn't start out to
discover America. They didn't, of
course, know there was any America
here. What they did believe was that
the world was round and that by sail
ing far enough they would come up on
the other side. You all know now that
what they believed is true, but lu those
days most people believed that the
world was flat and that if a ship sailed
far enough out into the ocean It would
fall off the edge.
Columbus said that if he took a ship
and Sillied and sailed he would at last
come to India. Xow, India was a very
rich country, and for hundreds of years
Europe had been trying to And an
easier way to get there, so what Co
lumbus said appealed to a good many
merchants and traders, and Spain final
ly fitted out some sliii« for Columbus.
You all know that Columbus finally
lid reach America, but he t>elleved he
had sailed clear around the world and
had come to Indin from the other side,
so he name! the i>eople he found on the
shore "Indians." And nfter It was
found that this was not India, but a
new world, people went on calling the
people Indians because that was as
good a name as any for them, they
thought.—Kansas City Star.
English Is Bad Enough.
"Why talk of the difficulty of pro
nouncing Polish, Austrian, Russian or
Roumanian names," says a writer in
the San Francisco Chronicle, "when
ninety-nine out of every hundred can
not pronounce scores and scores of
English names? Just think of Bertie
pronounced as Barty, Dllwyn as Dillon.
Be! voir as Beever. Font hers ton ha uph
as Festunhaw, Dalz^ll as Dee-el, Ruth
yen as Riwen. And these are by no
means the worst cases!"
Man's Perversity.
If the law were to edict that man
and wife should never tie together for
more thau six months iu the year it
would bo broken even- day and men
and women would st::nd hunger and
stripes to come together for twelve
months in twelve: if love of home were
made a crime a family life would arise
more touching than anything Queen
Victoria ever dreamed.—W. !>. George
in Atlantic.
Happily Disposed Of.
"Mr. Beats," the grocer said wearily,
"I ask you for the last time, will you
pay that $£0 you owe me?"
"For the last time?" Beats replied
cheerfully. "I'm triad to bear you say
that old man. Yon know. I was get
ting awfully lireil of hearing you ask
that foolish question!" — New York
Times.
one. She is the strength on which
the allies must now chiefly depend
and Low she performs the task will
largely determine the outcome of
th3 war. As the Seattle Post-In
telligencer says:
".Whatever our status six weeks
ago, just now tve are like a raft
'o lae shipwrecked. It is America f
that must take Russia's place in
'he allied lines, it is America that
must feed and finance Germany's ,
enemies, and it is America that may
oa oaiged to fight alone for civili
zation should the kaiser prevail o
ver its defenders closer at tome.
"jays Jules Cambon, director of
the French foreign department: ,
Mere and more it is becoming ev- .
ident that the future conduct of the .
war i" going to depend upon Amer
ica,' and Mr. Cambon speaks the ab
solute truth, In the light of the i
ppesen' situation. In the circum- <
stances there is need for congresB 1
to soft pedal oratory and get into 1
action, and there is need to make I
use of every aggressive and defen- '
aive power of the government at 1
the earliest moment." i

I WANT TO GO WITH TEDDY ]
I want to go with Teddy
Afar across the sea
We're going to hunt the kaiser
And make him climb a tree.
Id like to trade my; broomstick
For a real old-fashioned gun
When Ted and I get to the front |
There's going to be some fun. I
Chorus.
Oil, Teddy take me with you |
To get some German mugs
I car't stay here year after year
And fight potato bugs.
J
I want to go with Teddy 3
For he's the boy who works
In a day or two he'd clean the -
bunch l
And eat up half the Turks.
Right quick the war is oyOr
We'll shake our army duds
To ran straight home to Uncle San*
And help him eat the spuds !
