PROSPECT FOR

WE notice in the metropolitan pa
pers that thousands of people are be-
ing put back to work in the factories,
and that at Gary, Indiana, five thous-
and were added to the payroll Mon
day.
II seems TO have been the custom
with Republicans throughout the
country who control factories, to lay
off men before the November election,
in order TO influence the result. 1t
seems queer that immediately after
this last election, when we still have
a Democratic Senate, a Democratic
House, and a Democratic President,
that all the people who we're laid off
in October, and a great many more
were Immediately put 70 work in the
large manufacturing establishments Of
the country.
4 From what we can read, and from
what we know Of history, there is a
splendid prospect now for the most
prosperous times this country has ev-
err enjoyed. As far as local conditions
are concerned, just one good corn
crop will put us on "easy street,

ISEYS GERMANS WILL Be
vICTORIUs EVENTUALLY
o. Poisson Has Letter From His Sis
Ter, Mrs. Mathilde Sussman. Who
Livesin Germany
ARE NOT SUFFERING
Mr.. P~oissOn's Nephew Is on Firing
Line. But Has Not Been Heard
From for Weeks

o. Poisson has received n letter
from his sister. Mrs. Mathilde suss-
man, who lives in the southern part
Of Germany, eight miles north Of the
German-E lsassian border. The letter
is Of great interest and gives US Q
German view Of the war. 1t follows:
Landau (Rheinpfalz) Oct. 27th.
1914.
Dear brother and sister,
Your postal card of Oct. 9TH to
hand yesterday, and ! hope that you
have since received my letter and
postal card, and that the English
have not confiscated same.
The war reports you hear from Par
is and London are. in the most in
stances, not the truth, but to prove
same is very hard for Germany, as
the English ruined the cable and it
is impossible for the Germans to re-
pair them now. We must therefore
wait until the time comes when we
can enlighten you in the U. S. in the
matter.
The victories are mostly on
side. In France, the English, French,
Turkos, Sennegambnens and Indians
defend themselves against the Ger
mans, but the Germans keep the up
per hand, even if same comes dear.
We Germans must win in this forced
on-us war, but it viii take some time
yet, Our very existence depends on
it. 2
Belgium is in our possession and in
France we control = big part. In Rus
STA, in spite of the bad roads and no
railroads, our army is victorious and
took many prisoners and lots Of
war material. We fight on one
side with the Austrian and on the
other side with the Russians alone.
We have in Germany 100000 French.
English, Belgian and Russian pris-i
oners, which are housed in barracks
on German military training ground.
SonFred has since last week been on
the firing line. ! hope he is bullet
proof and will return to US healthy,
with all limbs straight. You can i'm
agine how I wish the war would be a
thing Of the past. I suppose Fred Is
on the battlefield in the north Of
France and Belgium, but I cannot say
for certain, as We have not heard
from him since he went on the fir
ing-line.
Our two brothers, tagged 81 and 80
respt.) have net been called TO the
colors as yet, and we do not expect
them to be. The war will not end
soon, as the English will not rest UNI
til they down the Germans but we
will see who can last the longest.
Our motto is: I'VE fear God and mo-
body else.n
In regards to u living we have
no more imported products and the
home products, what we can get, are
a great deal higher, but we do not
suffer which is the main thing.
VIII close for today and with best
love to you both, ] am your sister,
MATHILDE SUSSMAN.

GEORGE LOFT of New York.
who started in business with only
$3.50 and is now one of the biggest
candy merchants in the world, sell.
ing 100000 pounds a day, says he
owes his success to the thousands
and hundreds Of thousands of dollars
ne has spent in publicity. Talking to
q metropolitan paper in New York,
he expressed his opinion regarding
advertising during what is called
hard times" as follows;
Some business men believe in
shutting down advertising during
hard times. l don't That is the very
time to advertise. in my opinion. And
that is the very principle | acted up
on when the panic Of 1907 came
along. That year | jumped my adj
vertising appropriation from $4,000
TO $4,000, and bought twelve inches
Of newspaper space where l only
used nine before"

PRESIDENT WILSON is being Sc
verely criticised for not keeping our
ships snug IN some harbor at home.
On the other hand, q great many peo-
pie demand that our ships should be
sent TO foreign countries to relieve
the distress Of the Americans, and
to furnish money for those who can
not arrange for cash so that they
can come home.
@Uncle Sam" has millions Of dol
lars in ships. Are they supposed to
be kept at home, or are they to be
used for the purposes for which they
were built? "Uncie Sam Is at peace
with the whole world, and there is no
reason why our ships should not go
where they please. "Uncle Sam" is
not going to have any war with any
body; but his ships are going to sail
the seas wherever they have a right
and look after Americans, even If
they are nobody but damned mis-
scenarios
