her officials when it was found necessary
to muster her forces. She had no
tn ought of war, and not until Belgium
had been invaded, trampled upon and
ravished, did she decide to take part in
the struggle. Germany did not expect
to have to fight England then; but pro-
posed to do so when it had disposed of
France and Russia. The latter country
has been accused, as the Kaiser accuses
Great Britain, of getting ready to at
tack Germany; but in fact was the least
prepared of The Allies, and when the
Dardanelles were closed was unable to
obtain munitions for the armies called
into the field. The war, as every we'll
informed person knows, was instlgated
by Germany for expansion and aggran-
dizement at the expense of other nations,
the Kaiser to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.

potatoes, cucumbers, string beans, nut and
fruit salad. toasted crackers, cheese, cafe
noir, Benedctine cordial, minis and candied

contained the canded ginger and cinnamon

The ''high cost of living" is seriously
affecting the newspapers and has already
led to many suspensions and general
increase in price. The one-cent daily
newspapers have gone to two cents and
the dollar weeklies from 81 to $3.50 and
81, and in many cases there must be an
advance in advertising rate to meet the
unprecedented increase in expenses.
News print has about doubled i'll price
and may go higher, and ink, type, roll
ers, etc, in fact everything that is re-
quired in the mechanical work of a
newspaper, is greatly increased in cost.
Some papers are reducing in size, many
are cutting off delinquent subscribers
and exchanges. AS 20 the paper supply
the mills are said to be working day and
night and are really falling behind.
Twenty per cent of the news print sup
ply came from Canada and much of the
wood pulp and most of the suiphite and
other chemicals came from Germany.
All is now cut off, and the manufacture
ing resources of the country are made
quate for its demands.

Is it not becoming increasingly evident
that the traits and tricks of a politician
which had been dormant in the college
professor and president have been awak
ened by the attainment of high office
and turned to personal and selfish ends?
Is it not possible that a certain official
not long since ''knocked into a cooked
hat" may not have been wholly respon-
sible for his own undoing? Certainly he
has been effectively hamstrung and thus
made permanently ineligible for politi-
cal race; and one who could divert the
power and prestige of the government
to the advancement of his personal ends
while his countrymen were being muir
dered on land and sea would not hesitate
o thus remove formidable rival from
the path to further preferment. The
big stick" of other days is as naught
The Republican journal., 1916-08-03

In a speech by Emperor William of
Germany during recent visit to the
Somme front he said:
"Comrades-It is your especial prlvl-
lege to fight against the English, which
means that you are fighting against
nation that has sworn to destroy Ger
many. The English built up during the
years before the war the combination OF
countries which, at given signal fell
upon us, attacked US, the most peaceful
and peace desiring people in the world.
The English led US to believe they were
our friends when they were actually
plotting our destruction.
English diplomacy brought about
war, and now an English offensive Is at
tempting to carry the lighting to our
SOIL"
Germany must be in sore straits IN
deed when the Kaiser makes such
statement-a statement negatived by
the literature and press of his coun-
try and the utterances of her officials
and statesmen. For years-twenty at
least-Germany had been preparing to
inaugurate a war for world domination.
An immense sum, specifically entitled
war fund.-" had been accumulated.
Vast quantities of munitions and engines
Of war had been manufactured. The
whole country was a military camp.
When all was in readiness, and the time
seemed propitious, Prussia was delegat-
ed to light the torch that was to set all
Europe ablaze. So confident of sue
cess were the promoters of this cam
paign to change the map of Europe,
it not of the world, that their plans were
an open secret. Paris was to be the first
objective; and then, with France under
subsection, Russia was to be subjugated
or brought to heel. Then, from the
French ports, would be launched an at
tack on Great Britain that, if successful,
would strip her of her possessions and
reduce her to vassalage. But for the
heroic defence of her soil by Belgium,
and the fact that France was in a meas
ure prepared-not having forgotten the
lessons learned IN the Franco-Prussian
wharf.-the forces of the Kaiser might
have reached Paris. AS to the rest of
the program there must be doubt.
England, SO far from having prepared
and having planned for war, was in a
state of unpreparedness that surprised

The papers that bit that Thousand

During many years residence in New

of such an "animal." Centipedes, who
are supposed to have hundred legs
we never counted them-are common
enough, and are said to "bite' with
their feet, but we never heard of death
caused by them. But tarantulas and rat
tlesnakes- they're differentiated there

he does not add to the mortality. Then
as to mosquitoes and feas-well, they're

such trivial evils when there are so
many things to enjoy in such attractive
surroundings?

When President Wilson was asked
only last month by representative OF
the Virginia Federation of Labor to
help the passage of the federal suffrage
amendment through Congress, and more
particularly to allow the measure to
come before the House of Representa-
tives for vote, he replied that he could
not interfere with the action of Con-
gress. Yet the other day he went to
the Capitol to lobby for his child labor
bill, as he has for many other of his pet
measures. We have never before had
president who so openly, persistently
and aggressively ''interferred with Con-
gress.
