What Is Germany?

From leailct being circulated by the Ma
tonal Security League.l
Has not the time about arrived for Il
suspension Cf this superior language
about making the world safe for delll-
ocracy and liberating the oppressed
people ssf Germany from the heel of
the Kaiser. and our awakening to the
serious war! We do not wish to make
light of the higll-aimed words of our
President or the idealiSm that made
this glorious republic enter the lists of
battle against autocracy, but let us
look the facts in the face.
If any one of our readers has Il
friend who is really ION the inside at
Washington or who is Il member of
the National Security League. he will
tell you that the situation Is most
grave: that the Allies are at the crest
of their power: that the submarine
menace is more serious than is publicly
. admitted: that Germany has to-day
accomplished all that the most san
guine junker could have hoped for and
that she has only to maintain the de-
fensive. with matters progressing as
they are. and she will win the war.
These are facts. And some people are
still debating whether we should have
entered the war. And others are pro-
noting peace propaganda
Now. who and what Is this Germany
we are fighting and which has advanc
ed measurable step toward tile con
quest Of Europe. If not the world? Who
is it that has extended the power o1
Germany from Riga to Bagdad? Is il
the Kaiser, or won Tirpitz, or Won Hin
denhurg, or the whole outfit of junk
ers? No! 1t is the German people
united and firm. behind the Kaiser
This is the Germany the United State.
is fighting. and don't any one make an!
mistake about it.
1t may he that the German peorl,
arc misled; that they have had wroa.
ideas and wrong ideals instilled il
them from chilG1lood; and that the.
would have greater individual opper
tunity under Il democratic form Of gov
erllment. But this is no time to worr,
about the German people. They wOul'
not thank us for it, AMI we have All
other job on our hands.

The Second Liberty Loan.

It is contemplated that the second
Liberty Loan campaign will close on
the 1st of November and that the ac-
tive campaign will begin not later than
October 1st.
The details OF the loan cannot he
given out until the Congress has acted
upon the bond bill now pending. As
soon as the new law has been passed
announcement of the details Of the
loan will he made. Obviously no sub
scrirtions will be received or can be
received to the new loan until the Con-
gress has acted upon the pending meas
ure and announcement of the issue
made.
| earnestly hope that all Liberty
Loan committees already existing will
perfect their organizations immedi-
ately and get themselves in readiness
for the next Liberty Loan campaign,
and that new organizations will be
effected wherever possible throughout
the country for furthering this great
service to the nation.
AS in the previous loan, the general
direction of the campaign in each Fed
eral Reserve District will be under the
supervision of the Federal Reserve
Bank of that district as the fiscal agent
of the Government, and all Liberty
Loan committees are urged to get IN
touch with the Federal Reserve Bank
Of their district and actively engage ii
the preliminary work of preparing fol
the next camlaigll.

Gerard in Germany.

beginning with Sundays issue, the
New Orleans Item will run a series of
articles written by Hon. james w. Ger
ed States to Germany, the same to ap-
pear under the title. My Four Years
in Germany The Item in it's an
noancenleilt of the story says it ex-
poses the unscrupulous intrigues of the
I'russian Court which caused the war,
discloscs amazing facts hitherto sealed
in secret archives, and quotes Mr.. Ger
ard as follows:
= am writing what should have
been the last chapter as the foreword of
this series of articles, because ! want
to bring home to our people the gravity
cf the situation; because l want to tell
them that the military and naval
power of the German Empire is un-
broken. Americans do not grasp either
the magnitude or the Importance of
this war. (. There is far greater
danger of the starvation of our allies
than of the starvation of the Germans.
-. We are engaged In a war against
the greatest military power the world
has ever seen; against a people whose
country was for SO many centuries a
theatre of devastating wars that fear
is bred into the very marrow of their
souls. making them ready to submit
their lives and fortunes to an autoc-
racy which for centuries has ground
their faces, but which has promised
them as a result Of the war not only
security. but riches untold and the do
minion Of the world; u people which,
| as from Il high muntain, has looked
| upon the cities of the world and the
glories of them and has been promised
these cities and their glories by the
devils of autocracy and of war.
We stand in great peril. and only the
| exercise of ruthless realism car win
| this war for us. -. If we had STAYED
| out and the war had been drawn ol
| won by Germany we would have beer
attacked, and tLst while Europe stood
grinning iy. ~ tell something o1
the real GerB,dny, not only that my
readers may understand the events OF
the last three years, hut that they may
judge what is likely to happen in oul
future relations with that country"

AN APPEAL FOR GOOD ROADS. :

The word has gone out from WASH
ingten that the American people make
their every effort count to the full;
that no effort he wasted. From one
end of the land to the other the crops
will soon be moving over the country
roads If these roads are what they
should be, motive power will be ex-
pended to the best advantage: If these
crops are dragged through the mud,
and gullies. and over stumps. much of
the motive power will be wasted-and
waste is one word we are urged to
eliminate from our vocabulary. -
