any vxne still blind to it?
But were we ia Aiu®rlea directly
'hrtatcued? WE WERE, AND WE
are THREATENED. A German
J>*x>k published in the United Statts
in 19H, and called "Truth About
Germany," sought tu iuflanie us

"Twj nations united by such com

ness of enterprise, far-sightedness,
quickness of decision, admiration fcf

each other." Pleasant words—but "
lyine 'ongue. Would Germany, once
master of Eurone. remember our
"congeniality," and be a GOOD
NEIGHBOR in the Americas?
The Germans when writing for
HOME consumption hold a different
language abouj world reUitions amd
"neighbors.-- "Formerly German
thought was shut up in her Ger
man corner, but now the world
shall nave its coat cut according to
German measure, and as far as our
swords flash and Gernianj blood
flows, the circle of the earth shall
come under the tutelage of Ger
man activity." a sturdy German
♦ soism must characterize an politi
cal action. . . . The first principle
of our policy, both at home and
abroad, must l»e that in everything
that happens the Germans should
come off best, and lhe others should
hay« a bad time of it." A nice con
genial neighbor:
But Gwmanv, when honest, di
rectly avows her purpose, ultim
ately, against America. -\v« must
"wake up." or we will be the easy
"next step" in her ambitions. "G«r

promote the diffusion, the growth,
and the deepening of Germanism."
•'B-.fore seeking to found a Great

we must seek to create a Greater

must . . . see to it that the out

"We must make room for an empire
of Germanic race which shall num

der that we may hold our own
againsi masses such as those of
Russia, and the United States."
St'li further, it is no longer a
secret that Germany, while we
were stilt unprepared—were neu
tral- and while Germany still os
"ens'blv sought our friendship, se
cret;. planned,, when victorious in
Euicpe, to pick a quarrel with us
aud wring from US part of the
costs of her European war.
If the American "easy chair" is
•i-ill too comfortable for serious
thought of what Germany MEANS
TO DO TO US. then America de
serves the fate in store for her.
This is the material side of our
Pet tl. but there is another and
deeper side.
Tnis war is OUR war, to secure

A Bit Of Advice
First—Don't Delay. Seanpul—Do^t
Experiment.
If you suffer from( backache;
headaches or dizzy spells; If you
rc.s.t poorly ami are languid iu the
morning; if the kidttey secretions
are irrrpgular and unnatural in ap
nearance, do not delay. In such
cases the kidneys often, need help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for kidney trouble—they
are recommended by thousands.
Read the following interesting
statement.
Mrs. M. R- Gagen, 1013-A Flori
da rft., Sa.11 Fr&nclseo, Cal., sayB:
"I had dropey and other kidney
trouble and was miserable. My
back couldn't have given me any
mere misery if I had, broken it. My
kidneys were weak and my feet,
ankles and hands became swollen,
as a result. I felt eo miserable,
run down and depressed I was
discouraged. I could hardly bend
over because my back hurt me so
much. Doan's soon strengthened
and regulated my kidneys. The
swelling went away and I was
again well and had all my former
strength."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney; remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Gagon had. Foster-Mil
