Germany's Murderous
Policy Drove Us Into
the War
By WILLIAM H. TAFT, Former
President of the United States
' I
WHEN a man is on an Ameri
can deck and under the
American flag, a citizen of
the United States, he is a9 much
entitled to protection from the un
lawful invasion of a foreign power
as if he stood on the soil of the
United States himself.
In view, therefore, of the murder
of 200 citizens and the announce
ment of a policy to continue these
murders, what alternative was there
left open rather THAN A DEC
LARATION OF WAR BY THE
UNITED STATES?
What is this nation against whom
we are arrayed? The nation that
has done these things is the great
est military power in the world. It
is a nation with whom, if we en
gage, we are likely to lose a million
men, and all that to resent the sac
rifice of only 200 souls.
That, it is said, is a truthful dis
crepancy. Is it ? It is/if you look
at it from a grossly material stand
point, but it is not if you under
stand what it means to consent to
tho murder of 200 of your fellow
citizens because there is a powerful
nation that you have to meet and
overcome in order to vindicate your
rights.
IT MEANS SUBMi&oiurc iw
OTHER POWER; IT MEANS GIVING
UP THE INDEPENDENCE FOR
WHICH WE FOUGHT IN 1776 AND
THE PRINCIPLES WE MADE SAC
RIFICES TO MAINTAIN IN 1861.

. FISHERIES CO., CATCH
538,000 SALMON 21 DAYS
Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Peterson, of

reports the run of salmon there as
being above the averag. For a
period Of 21 days they put up 1000
cases of salmon per day, and in ad
dition sold 160,000 fresh fish, all
this nvmber coming from three
traps alone. One thousand cases
of fish represent 18,000 salmon
which have been cleand, cooked,
canned and put in the ware house.
Fignrlng on 18,000 salmon per
day which have been put into cases
and the additional 160,000 fish
sold, makes a to'al of 638,000 sal
mon caught and put up for market
from those three traps in a period
of 21 days. On the 31st day of
May this year the Tenakee Fisher
ies Co., put up 46 cases of salmon,

The proof of merit is convincing.
L. Bauer, 203 S. Delmag Ave., sau

step, darting pains shot through]
of [suffering. I got a box of Doan's
my kidneys causing the worst kind
Kidney Pills, being told theyTwere
the best medicine to be had for
pains In the back and'other kidney
trouble. They removed the) pain,
and distress and I have never had
a return of the complaint. "(State
ment given October 23, 1912.)
