WILLIAM III

with apologies to Col. Ingersoll.)
A little while ago, I stood in the
city of Berlin-a magnificent city,
built by the brain and muscle of man
and gazed upon an army marching
into "Unter den Linden; men march
ing out restlessly, and eargerly to
slay and kill other human beings. Lat
err 1 saw a pile of human corpses,
burnt by quicklime and 1 thought of
the iron man at Potsdam, a man,
whose ambition was the match to the
powder-barrel of Europe.
Through this man / saw Belgium
raped-France invaded-the Serbian
nation despoiled- helpless men and
women and children murdered. I saw
him under the Reichstag to vote an
enormous war-budget; l saw him sup
pressing the German press; saw him
on the western front surrounded by
the rotting bodies of human beings;
I saw him ruthlessly conquer Belgium.
I saw him destroy the Louvain Cath
edral. I saw him plan and premed-
itate the massacre of the Lusitania.
Then / saw him in the frightful
field called Europe, where the Allies
and the Americans combined to wreck
the fortunes of this foremost egoist,
I saw him at bay, in defeat and dis
aster-driven by a million bayonets
back upon the Rhine, back to Berlin.
1 saw the German people revolt.
1 thought of the orphans, widows
and cripples and human wrecks he
made-of the tears that had been
shed for his glory, and the German
people who though him the Lord of
Creation, and who now have pushed
him from their hearts.

SOUNDS WARNING NOTE

The Dorrance Star has weathered
the up and downs of newspaper life
for five years now and gives the warn
ing note that if sufficient support is
not given to meet the crisis the Star
will seek a location that will support
it. If the Star moves out the mail
order catalogue will move in. 1t is
a well known fact that poor news
paper towns furnish fat picking for
the catalogue men. People who have
not the local pride and respect to give
living support to their local paper
lost the power to inspire in others a
local pride in their own line of bust
ness, and thus cut the warp that holds
community interest together, and lay
the foundation for the curtailment of
their own business. We hope the Dor
rance people will not make this fatal
mistake. There was never a time
when the local newspaper was more
needed than now, and when the world
war is over the business concerns that
have no local papers through which
to read the people will be facing
sorry plight.-Kanopolis Journal

A LOYAL GERMAN

There are many Germans in this
country who feel like Mr.. Gratis who
says the following: 81 have seen the
articles about Germans trying to raise
strife in this country. I am a German
by birth and 1 am an American heart
and hand. I will tell you why I left
Germany. There were ten in our fam
lily and we were poor like the most of
my countrymen who came to the good
old United States of Ameica to get
away from oppression and it was
hard matter at times to keep the wolf
away from the door. When / landed
in this country I secured work at once
and received more money for one
months work than I got in Germany
for one years work. / sent for my
folks and am proud they are all true
American citizens and will answer to
the Presidents call to arms against
Germany or any other country when
needed. I don't see how my country
came here without cent and made
money here; now they want to fight
the country that feeds them. The
Kaiser never did any thing for them
or for me If he had we would be there
yet All he did was to start this cruel
war and starve all our people there
and make soldiers out of everybody
and force them to work for the dirty
II cents a day with a fourth of
pound of meat, and a loaf of black
bread. I hope to see the day when
he is kicked out of Germany and
president put in his place. You don't
see any Americans going over there
for jobs or to any other nation. They
are happy here and don't owe any
allegiance to any king or kaiser.
hope Uncle Sam will hurrah for Presi-
dent Wilson! Stop all foreign papers
printed in the United States. If they
can't read English let them learn,
and keep all foreign languages out of
the schools. The English language is
good enough for anybody Jacob

IT'S LONESOME IN FRANCE

In this different land with every thing
new,
Where life and lives are of a differ
ent hue,
Where everything is strange to me
and to you,
Are you lonesome?
When you sat in the train one pitch
dark night,
A passing lantern your only light,
The stiffness broke by the artillery
fight,
Were you lonesome?
When the muff1ed tones of the French
mans band,
Played the tune of your native land,
And then the Marseillaise so grand,
Were you lonesome?
And then at last your chance to sleep
Into your face their did creep
A loving face, Oh, so sweet,
Were you lonesome?
And now each day as you drill,
A feeling comes just like a chill,
To pass away with the battles thrill,
Are you lonesome?
Or as in your tent you lie each night,
In memory's dream your mind taking
fight.
And you think of the land where all is
bright,
You're 1onesome-darn you
You're lonesome.-Unknown

DID NOT SPEAK

T. p. Laughlin, an organizer for the
Socialist party, who has been in this
county for nearly a month, now, or
ganizing Socialist locals put up bills
announcing a Socialist meeting in La
Crosse, on last Tuesday night. The
Socialist party is not very popular
here at this time, when the country is
at war and the efforts of the members
of which are what is termed war Soc
ialists as they will in all probably de-
sert that order when the present wal
is at an end, seem to be devoting all
their energies to hammering the gov
eminent in the prosecution of the war
Fearing that if Laughlin were allow
ed to speak there would be trouble
the city authorities decided to stop the
meeting before it got started and ar
rested the speaker and put him in the
county Jail upon his refusal to can
eel the date for the meeting.
The next day his baggage was seiz-
ed and searched and part of the con-
tents taken and placed in charge of the
authorities. LaughIin agreed not to
speak or attempt to hold a meeting in
Lacrosse and was turned loose on the
strength of that promise.
The action of the city authorities
has the endorsement of all loyal Am
orleans and what others may think of
it does matter in the least-LaCrosse
Chieftian.
1t is reported that this same fellow
is to speak in Ransom in the near
future, but we venture to say that he
will have a hard time finding a place
in which to hold his meeting, as we
believe the above clipping voices the
sentiment of most of our citizens We
have no need for such in Ransom or
the United States. They should all be
shipped over to the Kaiser where they
belong Record.

FEW roRrUNEs MADE IN or.

A Wichita man who has made q
fortune in the Butler County oil field
receives Thousand of letters from per-
sons asking his advice about the value
of stock in vraious oil companies
Many of the writers assert they have
INSIDE information" and are on the
point of investing their savings in oil
stock. They see visions of fabulous
wealth.
Such inquiries have caused this man
to investigate the statistics concern
ing the real value of oil stock. Today
he offered his findings to the public
He says that since the oil furry start
ed more than 100 Wichita companies
have been organized. Of this number
about ten per cent have struck oil. OF
this twenty percent have only proved
a source of profit to the small stock
holder. Several that made good strikes
went into the hands of receiver who
represented the large stockholders.
Soon the little fellows were frozen out
and only about five percent of the
100 companies ever paid dividends. It
is possible at this time to buy stock
of nearly any of the companies that
hit oil at double the price paid in the
beginning. Men who have made the
most are those who brought royalties
and leased or entered closed corpor-
atoms, he declares. He says he knows
of more men who have gone broke
than men that have made money in
the oil game.
Less publicity should be given the
few men who are lucky and more to
the thousands who lose. He estimat-
es that approximately $7,5O0,OOO has
been invested in this kind of oil stock.
About $5,OOO,O0O was dead loss to
the investor. This money came from
the small investors. He says the rea-
son that many are slow to invest in
the Liberty Loan were hard up be-
cause of oil speculation. His figures
ON the chance a man has to double
his money is about one out of six.
