IN SELF DEFENSE.

James w. Gerard, former Ambas-
sador to Germany continues to posi-
lively assert that it was the intention
of the German government to defeat
France and England and then come
over to this country and collect the
price of the war from us.
The Germans do not deny Mr.. Ger
ards statement, but assail some of
their own public men for permitting
him to learn so much about their
intentions and purposes and then al
low him to return to the United
States.
+, Should the British and French be
overthrown by the Central Powers,
an attempt will be made to invade
this country. That has been the in
tention of the war party of Germany
for at least two years. This country
delayed too long it's preparations for
self defense .~ ..-.
1t is now called upon to act in self
defense. When a nation threatens to
invade and despoil another country,
that country does not have to wait
until the despoilers has actually cross
ed it's boundaries before it can in
woke the law of self defense It has
right to meet the despoilers before
they cross it's threshold and destroy
them if possible. That is what the
American government proposes to do.

THE RETURN OF THE SLAVES.

The German people would not stand
for the enslavement of the BelgMns
and the kaiser has been obliged to
harken to their protests and entreat-
les. The slaves are being returned
to their homes.
The following extract from the New
York World shows how some of them
returned:
We have listened to the mighty
voices of wives and mothers; through
their tears they have prayed God to
sustain their courage and fidelity to
the honor of their husbands and sons
carried off by force to the 9enemy's
factories. We have seen hcsome of
(these mem on their return, pale
haggard, human wrecks; as our tear
full eyes sought their dim eyes we
bowed reverently before them, for all
unconsciously they were revealing to
us new and unexpected aspect of ma
tional heroism.-Cardinal Mercier's
Lenten pastoral.
This great figure of the war whom
the Germans, with the eyes of mill
lions of German, Austrian and Hun
garian Catholics upon them, dare not
kill and cannot silence, never spoke
with greater eloquence than now,
when, with new hopes springing in
his heart, he reminds the world not
only of what the departed Belgian
workingmen suffered but the menace
their going meant to their wives and
daughters.

CATO SELLS A DISCOVERER.

Columbus discovered America and
Cato Sells discovered the Indian. He
discovered that an Indian when treat
ed justly and humanely was peace
full, intelligent and commendable hu-
man being. His policy Of justice and
kindness during the four years which
he has served as Commissioner of In
dian Affairs has now reached the
fruitage stage
A considerable number of Indians of
both sexes have already progressed
so far that they are able to assume
the duties and responsibilities of citi
zenship, and the governments guar
dianship over that class of Indians will
be closed in the near future. And,
thereafter, as soon as Indians become
capable for citizenship, they willnbeI
clothed with all the privileges and du-
ties Of citizenship.
What inestimable good would have
resulted from the discovery of the In
dian about the time Columbus discov-
cred the country.

SENATOR KENYON SUPPORTS THE
PRESIDENT.

No man in either House or Senate
is standing more loyalty behind the
President than Senator Kenyon.
In one of his recent speeches in
the Senate he took the position that
this was not a time for a division of
counsel, but it was a time for 100
per cent. Americanism. A time when
selfishness should be subordinated
for the public good. On that subject
he spoke substantially as follows:
In such a time the spirit of self
ishness in our nation must be de-
throned, no. one for himself and
everyone for his country, should be
our motto.
Let us forget for while the
making of money. Let us realize
that everyone must bear a part of
the sacrifice and burden. These
who in this time of national emer-
gency will try to make excessive
profit, either in the manufacture Of
those things which the government
must have to carry on war or by
combinations to raise the prices OF
things the people must have to live
are just as guilty of treason as
those who give aid and comfort to
the enemy. They should be treated
as enemies of the republic. -

do not like the Home guards When
we arrived at San Antonio, largest
city in "the largest state in the union"
we were whirled away in big trucks
to Isolation Camp" 1t was awful.
Camp pitched on old cotton field, dust
and dirt galore and to top the climax
we experienced sand storm. l
stole out of this camp several nights
and went down to saloon about
mile distant and got a glass Of beer
and sandwich; 1 always brought
back some for the ones who stayed.
They starved us, made us sit and
drill in the hot sun from morning till
night, but there was reason; they
wanted to bring out disease upon us
while there so we would not carry
anything into regular camp. Three
of Ames boys are in hospital as the
result and many others too. We
moved from there yesterday and this
is heaven" compared to Isolation
Camp"
Fort Sam Houston contains twelve
hundred thousand acres, about $4,000
mules and horses and men too nu-
merous to count. Out in front of
our barracks is field containing
over sixty acres, SO aeroplanes in
hangers bordering this. Even now
l am glancing up occasionally and
watching six planes, some high, some
nearly out of sight in the clouds. I
can hardly wait, more machines are
coming in each day. We will be as
signed to one soon and then I'll learn
the art. Last week here two men
fell to their death-they think moth
ing of it. We were told yesterday
that the chances were good to go to
Europe in about four month AL
though we do not like to leave loved
ones, we do as we are directed We
are only very small wheel in Uncle
Sammy's great machine; you soon
learn to move and act as one being
and mechanically. l have felt bad
sometimes that I ever enlisted, but
when think that I am able to do a
turn for my flag and country, I no
longer think anything of myself, but
feel sorry for the loved ones, left be-
hind. I may never see you again
mother dear; if I don't, just remem-
Der you gave one of your boys for
great cause.
Will write often and let you know
what I am doing in my line.
Love always,
WAYNE.

In Japan the membership Of the
Red Cross is 100000. In the United
States it is 100000 Japan's popu-
lation is half ours.
In Chicago the membership of the
Red Cross is 4,516, in New York
$4,000.
The nation has entered the world
war. 1t is time to correct these
statistics. The service the American
Red Cross will be called upon to per-
form both abroad and at home will
be immensely enlarged. There is an
organization to perform it, but it must
be enlarged, too; and there must be
large membership to support it.
There is drive on now to increase
the membership in Chicago. The OBJ
jective at first was set at 100000, but
it has been determined that it shall
not rest there. After the drive in
New York the result was $4,000. Chi
cago is going to make it's membership
double that and, if possible, half a mil
lion.
Able men and women are leading
the Chicago drive, with the indefatig-
able Charles Wacker at their head.
America is at war. The Red Cross
is needed more than ever in it's his
tory. Patriotism joins with humanity
in an appeal to the people of this
community.
See that the Red Cross drive wins.
