WAR EXPECTED
SAY GERMANS
MITCHELL TEUTONs HAVE ANTI
CIPATED present. STRUGGLE
FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

War measures between Germany
and other leading powers of Europe
has been a certainty for many years,
declare Teutonic residents of Nit
chell who have kept in touch with
conditions in the fatherland. Strife
was inevitable because of the growth
of the German empire and the nerv-
BUSINESS of her sister countries.
John Michels, who visited his old
home in Germany only last summer,
gathered the impression then that his
native country was anticipating
fare with Russia and France event
ually and raj preparing for the
fatherla1ld has been getting ready
for the struggle which was believed
to be inevitable.
The old home of Mr.. Michels is
near Cologne, in Strassburg, and is
near the scene of the operations of
the French and Germans. 1t Is near
the border and it is believd that many
of the heavy engagements of the
/ present war will be fought in this
territory.
Yhe real cause of the struggle just
commencing, according to Gustav
Woelfel, is the urgent necessity of
Germany to acquire territory for her
dense population. Mr.. Woelfel came
from Germany only eight years ago
and then foresaw that war with either
France or Russia was coming.
Germany is very densely popul-
ated," said Mr.. Woelfel, land is in
creasing at the rate of a million or
more a year. With this condition, If
the empire is. to maintain her suprem-
acy she must gain more territory.
Germany has no colonies of import
ance, like France in Algiers. and In
do-China, and to gain them is the
real aus of the war.
"All differences among the Ger
man people, such as socialism, will be
forgotten in the struggle. Although
the socialists are very strong, they
are Germans and that means they are
patriotic. They will be one nation
in this struggle and will fight to the
last. &,
"In my. opinion, the reason that
Germany fastened the break with
Russia was because. of her W pre-
%paredness of war. Germany has the
best trained and drilled army in the
world, ready for mobilization on a
few hours notice, and if she is going
to be nose effective against Russia,
she would have to strike the first
blow. Russia, has great military
strength, but 1T will take time for hel
to mobilize. and Germany intends tc
start first"
According to William and Hilmel
Meteher, clerks in the Mitchell Nat
ionafSbank, the German people have
realixed for some time, that war was
coahdhgSealdl have been gradually get.
ting ready. The two brothers are
comparatiyely recent arrivals from
the fatherIand.

But the German people and the
French people and the English people
not by any means wanted to
fight. Indeed there is little reason
to believe that Germany's ruler WANT

peal to the Russian government and
even waited for. some days after the
Russian soldiers began modelling on
the border Of his empire. Surround
ed by great powers, he can scarcely
challenge them all to obtain more

that the war constantly goes back to
the one great first cause, the intensity
E .4.E lEIl- $500 AK 1HFIr.e 81
of racial hatred between Slavonians
and Teutons.
Any one who attempts to forecast
the outcome of the Great European
War is rash indeed. Much will de-
pend upon the part taken by Great
Britain. Her powerful navy, far the
greatest in the world, together with
the Immense army she could
raise from her colonies, would
undoubtedly turn the tide against
Germany and Austria If added to the
forces OF France and Russia. Italy
thus far has determined to remain
neutral, Notwithstanding her alliance
with Germany and Austria. But
even If she should participate, she
would not be a major factor for the
reason that she is one of the smaller
powers.
