AFutuTe Of BattIeand Conquest

Those who have been deceived by the
Kaiser's declaration that somebody else
started the war and that his fight has
been only a defensive one all the time,
should read this speech from one OF the
leaders:
DR.. Diedrich Hahn, leader OF the
agrarian junker party and member OF
the Reichstag, Friday, delivered a
speech in Berlin In which he declared
that Germany's submarine success now
insures the unconditional surrender OF
her enemies He attacked the demands
OF the Socialists and censured the Gov
ernment for continuing so long to main
tain diplomatic relations with the Unit
ed Stntes.
Favors Bismarok's Policy
"Iias monarchical Germany failed?''
he asked Mo- he added, "it stands
brilliantly before the world as conquer
or. We are to-day within sight of
peace. May II be real German peace
We hope those who govern us will real
ize our strength. will keep their nerve
and continue To face the enemy as con-
querors, not as towards. Let us keep
TO Blsmarck's policy Germans future
is future of battle and conquest.
Some people are demanding a new
order OF things in Germany. Let me
tell you what new order we Conserva-
tives desire. Germany's industrial and
agricultural future must be so ordered
that she will be in a position success
fully to withstand any future attack
We must have the coal fields of Longwy
and Briey We must have fresh terri
tories for emigration In the east; we
must not return any lands we have
conquered. That would be an unfor-
givable sin against our agricultural
population, would compromise our in
dustrial development and would mean
that our blood had been spilled in vain.
Already we foolishly have bestowed
a kingdom upon Poland without secur-
ing Germany's rights therein.
Demands Changes in Army.
There also must be changes in the
army where there is too much young
and irresponsible blood. A twenty
year-old Lieutenant should not COM
mand forty-year- old landsturmer. The
Government must cease comforting with
the Socialists.

SCHOOL Children
TO SET THE Pace
HAMPTON MAKES EXCELLENT
SUGGESTION THAT WOULD
BRING BETTER ROADS.
To the editor Of the Big Sandy News.--

To the editor Of the Big Sandy News: -
Noting In a recent issue of your
esteemed journal of civilization and
progress that the Road Commissioners
OF Lawrence CO., or whatever the body
polite handling means Of transporta-
tion may be called, had done something,
or were going to do something. or want
ed to do something with, or 10, the
roads, II occurs to me to suggest kind
OF action recommended for Leslie, Lee
and Wolfe counties through The Beatty
vile Enterprise rhousandsticks and
The Hozel Green Herald, the action be-
ing that OF public school pupils on the
roads immediately in front or their re-
spective school buildings Ny sugges-
tion was that about 200 yards of road
! in front Of each building in the county
be taken in hand by the youngsters Of
the school and, with Instructions from
the State authorities ON how to make
road, put that much at least OF country
road In passabie condition at all sea-
sons and after six months trial of IL,
somebody award a prize, or medal of
merit,to the srhcol havinp the best bit Of
road. My idea was that the young ones
would take an interest and do things
/ that the old ones would not, and besides
the young ones haven't been merged In
the mire as long as the old ones have
and are not so used TO II, and the re-
suit would be that the seats of learning
along the roads would show some indi-
cations that something had been learn
ed Of really practical character and
publil good. These bits of good road
would also taste so good TO the old
junkers pulling through the bad roads
that they would want more and finally
go TO II themselves and have ali the
roads good roads Good, at least, as
compared with what now prevail. /
think that suggestion was made to your
neighbor counties two or three years
ago, and as far as l have heard not a
shovelful OF dirt has been moped by any
school in any county. Ofscourse, phys
ically don't giveadam, because l don't
have TO travel over the roads but SEN
timentally. or psychologically. or some-
howly I'd like to know that there are
good roads where bad ones now are.
! My suggestion will land in Lawrence,
very likely. just as 1t landed in the 9TH
ers, but I've done my part, now let 9TH
ers do thern
In conclusion let me offer this poet-
cal plaster OF progress and so forth for
general circulation among and applica-
ton to our citizens who have to hit the
dirt between places several times a
week:
Kaiser William.
I'm cruel enough to wish for Bill
All things that are unlucRy,
Except to make him travel on
The roads in East Kentucky!
NJ being a Prussian, directly or in
directly, laterally or collaterally, l can
draw the line at certain atrocities and
stop this side the limit of barDarism
even as applied to the Boss OF the
bunch. Yours TO command,
