because of the very notable fact that with each
week the influence of the Kaiser and his per-
sonal domination of the military party now In
chief power has perceDtby diminished. Both
of these facts more apparent every day. and
give conclusive evidence that while a small
party and individual leadership may plunge a
nation, even world, into the most horrible war
of history, there are required many men repre-
senting whole nation to carry on the conflict,
and that more men and more nations are nee
essary to bring 1t to an end and reconstruct the
damaged resources after the war party has we'll
nigh ruined them
Should the Kaiser be really i'll and should the
illness prove fatal, it is highly probable that
his party Of war viii find its prestige steadily
declining in Germany and that the end of the
conflict If not an earlier date, win find the other
side bringing the conflict to an end and recon
the country after the end--which Will
be a far more difficult task than that OF the
Kaiser and his friends was.

We have reared our sons of the Empire,

We fed them, and watched and loved them
From the cradle to manhood's state
Ours?-They belong to the Empire
And we've but fulfilled our fate
We told them Of Eng1ands greatness
AS they cuddled upon our knee,
And they listened with childish wonder
To the stories of victory.

We watched them through all their child-days
With trustful and hungry pride
And lived again in their manhood.
And our hearts were satisfied

And they JOY to obey Its call.
We kiss them and give BLESSING
And they leave us TO fght--and fall,
Oh, God above, who has made us.

their cause is greatly indebted TO the so-called

GERMANS ASK WHAT THEY ARE
FIGHTING FOR

The persistent peace-talk in the
German papers and the equally per-
sistent official and semi-off1cial de-
malls that Germany has any desire to
| open negotiations present curious
| contradiction. What does it mean
Some editors infer that Wilhelm
strasse regards the present as fav-
orable moment for the conclusion of
hostilities If advantageous terms could
be secured. the successive peace-hints
and denials being intended to elicit
counter-proposals from the Allies.
They point out that so far Germany
is in the position of q victor who
could offer something as q basis of
negotiation, having in her possession
almost the whole Of Belgium and Po-
land, and valuable tracts Of land In
Russia, France and Servia. One edi-
tor. who is not altogether friendly to
Germany. has described her as being

after run OF luck Is anxious to get

the chips on the table lie before him.
It Is, however, significant that pos
sible conditions of peace form sub
ject OF discussion in the German press
and are debated among members of
the various political parties, even to
the extent OF breaking the political
truce which has prevailed since the
war began. So much SO has this been
the case that, we learn from the Rer-
liner Tageblatt. the Imperial Chan
cellor has been attacked by his own
party for not formulating the terms of
peace that Germany will demand. The
National Liberal party has passed
resolution stating what 1t intends to
work for In this direction, which, ac-
cordins to the Tageblatt, runs:

ditions now.
III. despite our repeated denials,
such reports that Germany feels the
inclination or need to make peace
continue to be strewn abroad. 1t leads
to the conclusion that our enemies
are making obvious and stupid at

any government that does not pursue

The Imperial Chancellor is taken
severely to task by the Hamburger
Fremdenblatt for not defining more
explicitly the objects for which Ger
many is fighting. 1t says:
Tho attitude OF the Imperial Chan
cellor toward the goal in this war is q
matter OF solicitude-solicitud that
the highest imperial official does not
find himself on this question so vital
to the German people, in agreement
with the overwhelming majority Of the
nation. This solicitude OF the Imperial
Chancellor In which he asserted that
Germany was fighting for peace

allies that firm safeguard that Ger

for in the last analysis the ideas Of
what is necessary for our national
future differ widely. -
To-day we may. without going into
details. express in all calmness the
fact that We are striving for an ex-
tension Of our borders"
This request for the definition OF
peace-terms Is supported by the Ham
burger Nachrichten. which says that
the people now demand the right Ito
know for what they are making such
gigantic sacrifices" Nor Is this con-
fined to the National Liberal party.
for we find the Catholics of Germany
issuing through the Central Commit

the Berlin Germania. the Center par

"The terrible sacrifices which the
war has imposed upon our people de-
mand increased protection OF our
territory In the East and West which
will make 1t impossible for q foreign
enemy to fall upon US again, and
which for all time will secure the eco

population"
From The Hague comes q rumor
OF what Germany's peace-terms are to

MIXED RACES UNDER KAISER
Numerous Peoples Gathered Beneath
the Banner of the War Lord
of Germany.

Writers on ethnology during this
war have called wide attention to
what they insist on as historical fact
that the valley of the Elbe, which is
now Prussian territory, was once a
Slavic land peopled by race of Slav-
ic blood called Wends. Remnants of
these people are still existent in the
German empire, and the Lusatians, or
the Serbs of Lusatia, In Prussia and
Saxony, and the Slovines or Pomeran-
ians and Kasuby of the Baltic region
are remainders of the Slavs that once
populated Prussia. The name Prussia
was once Borussia which was cor
rupted from Po-Russa, a compound
word signifying near the land of the
Russ" "po" being the Slavic word
meaning near" Other of the place
names in Prussia are said to be of
Slavic origin; as, for example, Pom
erania, Strelitz and Kolberg.
While all nationalities are blend
of various races, 1t is interesting to
note that an authority on such matters
has said that fighting under the Ger
man banner today are representatives
of no less than SO nations and tribes.

RUTH REED ARRAIGNED
FOR SHOOTING GtIGFR

Ruth Reed was formally arraigned
in the Justice court at Reno on a charge
Of assault with intent to kill George
Geiger, assistant superintendent of the
Southern Pacific at Sparks, and in de
fault of $4,000 bail was remanded 10
the custody of Sheriff Ferrell.
The amount of bail asked by Justice
Devine, who presided, owing to the
illness of Justice Kirby Unsworth, Is
considered unusually high, and it is
probable that NJ. B. Moore, counsel for
the defendant, will make application
to have the bond reduced.
No date for the preliminary exami-
nation was set, as it is still uncertain
when Geiger viii be able to appear as
witness.
In a statement to Sheriff Ferrell
Geiger claimed the woman shot him in
an attempt to rob him of several thous-
and dollars worth of jewels.
The shooting occurred just west of
Rieks' roadhouse at one O'Clock last
Monday morning, while Geiger was
driving the woman to Laughton
Springs to battle.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
OF YOUNG MAN AT RENO

Whether Clayton J. Pohle, the %
year-old son Of Mrs Kate NJ Pohle, a
widow, of 141 West Fifth street, Reno,
has committed suicide or is "hiding
out - is a problem that is giving the
police department, as well as his mo-
ther, more than a little concern. Pohle,
employed as a bookkeeper at the gro
cery firm of w. 7. Mitchell & Co., has
been missing since last Monday night.
A search of the river east of town
and of the foothills to the north of
Reno by deputy sheriffs has failed to
divulge any clue. Sheriff Ferrell has
spread broadcast copies of Pohle' Is pho
tographs.
The opinion is expressed by some
that Pohle is hiding in Reno.
