Why Are We at War with Germany?

There are Americans under German
influence who are asking even now why
we are at war and what we hope to
to gain by war Belgium, Serbia and
Armenia have been forgotten. The
perfdious disregard of treaties has been
forgotten. The massacres Of the sea
have been forgotten. The lawless
challenge to US and to the whole world
forbidding foreign commerce except
upon conditions denying national
sovereignty and right has been for
gotten. Militarism's broken pledges,
its disregard of every humane consid-
Grafton that stood in its way, its avowed
purpose to reduce the earth to subjec-
ton, enforcing its hldeous conceptions
of Kultur especially upon weak democ-
racies-all these have been forgotten
by every man foolish enough or per-
verse enough to ask the questions
which Potsdam and its agents put into
his mouth.
Inc fullng CLASS III Germany KNOWS
why we are at war and what we ex-
pect to gain by war 1t knows that it
is an arch-offender against civilization
and that as surely as we triumph it is
to be punished by the only restraint it
recognizes, which is force 1t knows
that it is running amuck for the last
time. 1t knows that the peace to come
will be a just and democratic peace and
not the hateful thing of terror, humila-
ton and. plumber going by the name OF
Prussian peace
1t suits Kaiserism to maintain that
it is not at war with the United States
and that it is unable to understand oul
purposes, but no American can echo
that mockery without confession OF
guilt and shame.-New York World.

The mass meeting announced in
last weeks issue of The Chesterfield
Advertiser, was held according to
schedule on Wednesday, Nov. 2Sth.
Though the attendance was not as
large as so important a matter mer-
it's, yet there were enough people in
terested in the County's welfare pres
ent to institute some of the reforms
offered by the advisory committee to
the Supervisor.
The proposition as outlined in last
weeks Advertiser was adopted with
but one dissenting vote.
Those townships that have not vot-
ed for bonds will be called upon to
pay mill levy and a capputation

gang of men employed in each
township continually, or as long as
the available funds will permit.

THE MARCH ON JERUSALEM

General Allenby's present cam
paign in Palestine is causing some
thing like a panic in Turkish mill
tary circles. The British have not
advanced far into the enemy's coun-
try but they have advanced over and
thru Turkish armies sent to bar their
passage and, unless Germany comes
to the rescue of her hard-prest ally,
the Jews and Syrians will soon be un-
der the shelter of the Union Jack and
no longer subject to the tyranny of
the Crescent. The British army is
advancing northward with cavalry,
artillery, "tanks" and airplanes; sup
ported on the Mediterranean coast
by detachments of the British and
French navies. While engaged in
this work of cooperation a British
destroyer and monitor were sunk
by an enemy submarine.
On November 9 the British army
took the city of Askalon and with it
700 Turkish prisoners and thirteen
cannon. The retreating Turks, who
were supported by Austrian artillery
men, fell back on Hebron, about
twenty miles south of Jerusalem.
During the whole campaign the Turks
are estimated to have suffered more
than 10000 casualties, exclusive of
their loss in prisoners.
Foreign Secretary Balfour prom
ised British favor for the establish
ment of Jewish nationality in Pal
estine. The British stipulate, how
ever, "that nothing shall be done to
prejudice the civil and religious
rights of existing non-Jewish COM
munities in Palestine or the rights
and political status enjoyed by Jews
in any other country"

NORTHCLFFE ASSAILS
BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Lord Northcliffe, who has returned
to England from his war mission to
the United States, has rejected the
position of Minister of Air Opera
tions, offered to him by Premier
Lloyd George. The tone of his let
ter is one of marked discomfort with
the present British Government and
seems to foreshadow an attempt to
overturn the cabinet. This is by no
means an impossibility, for Lord
Northcliffe's opposition, voiced Ly the
chain Of newspapers which he con-
trolls, was largely responsible for the
overthrow of the Asquith ministry
and the elevation of Premier Lloyd
George to his present post.
In his letter Lord Northcliffe prais-
ed the war preparations of the United
States and Canada "little understood
on this side of the Atlantic" and con-
trasted them with the mismanage-
ment prevalent in England where
"there are still in Office here those
who daily with urgent questions as
that of the unity Of war control, the
eradication of sedition, the mobilza-
tion Of the whole man and woman
power Of the country and the intro
duction of compulsory food rations." ="
He also criticized the censorship and
"the absurd secrecy about the war
which is still prevalent" "Un!css,"
he declares, "there is swift improve
ment in our methods here the Uni
ted States will rightly take into its
own hands the entire management
of a great part of the war. 1t will
not sacrifice it's blood and .reasurd
to the incompetent handling of affairs
in Europe"
