BY. EDGAR ILIFF.

When the Europ can war Is over,
what status will the United States
have? What effect upon our future
will the victory one way or the other
have upon us?
If Germany should destroy the
British sea power, what then? 1t has
been said over and over again by
writer's and statesmen that England's
colonial or imperial greatness rests
solely upon her supremacy of the
seas, and when her sea power is
broken or divided the whole fabric
will collapse like a house of cards.
If England destroys her rival, the
German navy, and she keeps her con-
troll of the seas, what then?
Contest Proves Vital.
The destruction of the German navy
does not mean the subjugation of
Germany as a military power in Eu-
rope Thus we see that the contest is
a more vital one to England than to
Germany Germany has two strings to
her bow; England has one.
If England is victor. what about the
western hemisphere? If Germany is
victor on both land and sea, what will
it mean to us?
These are the questions propounded
and the problems presented by the
foremost American historians and uni
versity professors of history, such as
Albert Bushnell Hart of Harvard and
Roland G. Usher of the University Of
Missouri.
They are worthy of careful consid-
GRAFTON and disclose a very grave sit
uation for the people of the western
hemisphere.
Prof Usher published his "Pan-
Germanism" more than a year before
the present war began and he there
forecast the danger for the United
States when the English German con.
flict came to a clash of arrows. He
pointed out that such an appeal to
arms was inevita BILE from the very ma
ture of things; that if Germany was
wrong in her determination to pre-
serve and strengthen the life of her
great people then othe~s have been
wrong; that the conflict was the re
suit of the economic progress of the
last half century, and that the presen,
international situation is literally
without precedent in the history of the
world.
Nations Band Together.
England, like the great Jehovah OF
Israel, is a jealous god and will have
no other gods before her. When Eng
fish and French diplomats began tc

An Inexcusable Blunder

If the action of the city council on April 10
in passing the resolution putting council on rec
ord for the purchase of the plant of the Light,
Heat & Power Company binds the city to the pur
chase of the plant, someone has been guilty of
cutting off debate on of the most important
questions which the city has had to decide in a
number of years.
The suggestion for the purchase of the prop
erty originated with the special committee Of
citizens which appointed by Mayor Robbins
to handle the light question, but was passed over
until the matter called to the attention of
the chairman of the committee by the city attor-
ney, when the matter was again taken up, and on
the advice of the city attorney it was decided to
ask council to pass resolution which would give
the city officials the right to ask the public

THE FIRST THING
A GOOD DOCTOR
PRESCRIBES

"A good physic and liver stimu-
liant is usually the first remedy
prescribed by the physician when
called to a case. He does so be-
cause he knows that most of our
ills are directly or indirectly due
to constipation, sluggish liver, ETC.;
therefore his first concern is to
reach and remove the probable
cause of the illness, and the sys-
tenn, relieved of this poisonous
feces, again becomes normal.
And that is exactly the idea be-
hind Sentanel Laxative Tablets, a
remedy for constipation, indiges-
ton, and liver troubles, every in
gredient of which has been passed
on and approved by an eminent
chemist, which you or any of your
family may take and which easily
and painlessly, but thoroughly and
effectively, will cleanse your sys-
tenn, stimulate your liver, thereby
Riding your organs and your
blood of many of the underlying
causes of illness and trouble.
Sentanel Laxatives contain no
calomel. They are mild yet very
effective. Do not grippe nor irri-
tate.
We know Sentanel Laxatives will
satisfy you. So positive are we of
this that we sell Sentanels under
a broad money-back guarantee,
viz: If in your judgment they
don't give you the results you ex-
pect, send us the empty box; we
will refund your money.
