what We Fight

'~The war was begun by military
masters of Germany, who proved
to be also the masters of Austria
Hungary. These men have never
regarded nations as peoples, men,
women, and children OF like blood
and frame as themselves, for whom
governments existed and in whom
governments had their life. They
have regarded them merely as ser
viceable organization which they
could by force or intrigue bend or
corrupt to their own purpose.
They have regarded the smaller
States, in particular, and the peo-
Piles who could be overwhelmed by
force, as their natural tools and in
struments of domination. Their
purpose has long been avowed.
"If they succeed they are safe, and
Germany and the world are undOne
if they fail, Germany is saved and
the world will be at peace. If they
succeed, America will fall within the
menace. We and all the rest of the
world must remain armed, as they
will remain, and must make ready
for the next step in their aggression
if they fail, the world may unite for
union. Woodrow Wilson, Presi-
dent of the United States.

DIR. Bro.mssr L..v.s

The many friends of Dr.. BrOmser
and wife will regret to learn that
they will not be with us any more
and while we all join in wishing
this excellent couple the best this
life affords it is with a tinge of sOr-
row that we note their departure.
DR.. BrOemser has been q popular
and successful practicing physician
at Holly the past two years and has
built up a very good practice and
made many warm friends but the
call of his country comes first and
the family left the first of the week
for ten days rest in the noun
tains near Denver before going to
st Louis, Missouri, where the Doc

Called The Boys Out

The Holly boys who enlisted in
tie navy several weeks ago and
have been waiting for instructions
to report were all called out the
first of the week with orders to re-
port at Denver. From there it is
quite likely that they will be as
signed to one Of the big training
schools in California. The boys all
left Tuesday evenig for Denver. In
the list called was Homer Rowe,
p. Trotter. Joe Marymee, Russell
Bryce. Hosea Drew, Jesse Griffith,
Clarence Wilson, j. Walton and a
young man from the Coolidge

Draft win Result In Better Health

Better health will prevail thruOut
the United States in the future as
the result of the draft.
This is the confident belief express
ed by physicians and other officials
of exemption boards in Washing
ton the first of the week.
Those making this forecast pro-
phesy betterment of the national
health. Here is how the draft has
emphasized the nations health
needs:
1. 1t has disclosed to the examin-
ing physicians more fully than ever
before the true state of health OF
Americas young manhood as
class
2. It has shown to the young
men themselves the true state OF
their health Many of those examin-
ed were found to have diseases ana
organic troubles which they never
suspected; one young man learned,
for instance, that he had pulmon-
ary tuberculosis.
3. 1t has begun to awaken the
whole people to the truth that
Americas manhood is not as strong
as it should be and thereby mas
opened the way for a gigantic Cd
ncational movement for preventive
measures.
Figures which have already Deen
complied in Washington as the re-
suit of the draft show that out OF
/ 65s men examined 374 are physi-
cally unfit for service in the nation
al army-that is, approximately
one young man in every four is not
as strong and healthy as he should
be.
The draft examinations have br-
ought out many facts which are
proving interesting to those who
are studying them. For instance.
it has been found that underweight
and malnutrition are by no means
limited to- young men from Door
families; and other diseases are not
confined to any group no matter
on what lines that group may be
formed-social, monetary. geograph-
ical or racial.
It is considered probable by
number of physician Of Washington
that facts uncovered by means OF
the draft examinations will lead to
a federal change of attitude toward
the health of the public at large
and to the health of the individual.

truth. At other times when I visit

Timberlake calling upon other Con-
gressmen. During this visit find
them visiting Mr.. Timberlake,

was asked about 1t. He too has
been there long enough so that the
other Congressman come to his
office to learn. from him.

Fate of tho Mother Scorpion.

The most astonishing manifestation
Of the maternal instinct in animals is
that Of the mother scorpion, who is
literally devoured by her children and
permits them to do so. We stand per
picked at the complexity Of an instinct
which causes the mother to submit
calmly to dismemberment without offer
Of resistance, yet this same instinct
cause: her at the same time to ward
of any foreign intruder who might in
terfere with the dismemberment and
perhaps save her life.
Lest marvel carry us to extremes"
says DIR. Muttkowski, "let us note that
the action Is q fixed instinct AID is not
controlled by the light Of intelligence,
Like 1eost instructive actions, that of
the scorpion shows no logic, Cor the
scorpion permits strange progeny to be
foisted on her and to dismembes her.
She does not distinguish her children
from strangers. 1t is not self slcri-
flee due to love, but fixed instinct
which compels the scorpion to submit
to ACKNOWLEDGMENT at that particular
period. "-America.

WAR SUMMARY

Aside from the Russian theater, the
hostilities on all the fronts are Vlr-
tually at a standstill. Bombardments
at some points attaining fairly vlo-
lent proportions and at various places
small infantrp maneuvers have oc-
CURED on the front in Flanders, but
as yet the operations have not taken
on the aspect of contemplated re-
sumption of the big allied drive which
the, bad weather of last week brought
to- an abrupt end.
The Canadians operating against
Lens have again made thrusts Of
successful nature into the environs of
the already encompassed coal center,
which apparently cannot long with
stand capitulation. By the use of
curtain fire the Germans are endeav-
oring to keep back further encroach-
ments into their terrain here, but
even with this fire against them the
intrepid Canadians continue almost
daily to extend. their saps and now
arsf firmly ensconced on the south
and west outskirts OF the town.
The aspirations Of the German
crown prince to win territory against
General Petains forces on the south
ern front in France have not yet been
achieved. In the Champagne region
the French have penetrated German
lines at three places and on the IA
nous Avocourt Wood Hill 304 sector
Of the Verdun front have put down
with losses a German attempt at an
attack.
Having been enabled, mainly thru
the disaffection in the Russian army,
to drive the Russians out of the
, greater part of Galicia and Bukowina,
the HIstro, Germans now have begun
in, southern Moldavia .maneuver,
the success of which would be of vast
import against the, Russo-Rumanian
line. barring the way to. Bessarabia
At Fokshani the enemy has struck a
swift blow at the defenders of the line
and forced them across the river Tyr
ladesue thereby threatening the
crossing of the lower Sereth and the
road to Galatz, oneyof the chief Ru-
manian towns on the Danube still re-
maining in Rumanian hands. A num-
her guns of various calibers and L.
800 prisoners were taken by the in
vaders.
To the north, along the Bystritza
river in Kumania, two Russian regi-
ments turned traitor and fled, COM
pelling the main forces of the Rus
sians here to retire again several
miles. Near Kimpolung, in southern
Rukowina, the Russians gave battle

feated and forced to cede terrain. At
several points further north the Rus

ing their own on several sectors, hav-
ing driven back the Teutonic advan-
ced posts. -.
Taking advantage 4 the retreat of
the Russians west Of the Zzrocz river,
where disaffection in General Brus-
siloff's army made virtually a rout,
the Austrians and Germans are haY-
yesting hastily the crops left behind.
Artillery duels continue to be the
chief factors of warfare in both The
Austro-Italian and Macedonian thea
tiers. Severe fighting is taking place
In southeastern German East Africa.
AS yet it has reached no definite re-
suit, although the British have gained
some ground.
