The raising of more than a hundred
million dollars as voluntary Offering
to the Red Cross fund in America
within one weeks time is a real tri-
umph. The result shows two things
very clearly: We are, as a people,
decidedly in favor of the war, and we
are not nation of mere "money grub
bers." We have piled up millions, it
is true; but it is also true that this
vast wealth is held by its possessors
subject to the higher claim of hu-
manity. 1t was the easiest thing
imaginable to get people, rich and
poor, to contribute to this fund. Peo-
pie possessing but little of this worlds
goods gave literally. People possess
ing most wealth were equally liberal.
1t cannot be said that this is a poor
mans fight. Seems to us clearly evil
dent that our rich men, North, South,
East and West, are showing up quite
gloriously. America! a great people
and, may it please God, a people
destined to perform great things in
the history of this mundane sphere
ere many months pass on.
Some there are who feel a bit doubt
full about raising so vast a sum to be
used up so quickly. But such doubters
are indeed few and their fears are
groundless. The money will be used
in brief period, perhaps three to
six months. Another call will come,
and yet another, and another, who
knows? Who cares? If it takes our
all, it will be cheerfuIly given, for hav-
ing given our sons, shall we withhold
anything else? We feel qualification
over the humble part our own small
county played in the undertaking. The
sum of nearly seven thousand dollars,
contributed in one week-that was
not bad.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. 26.
American officials believe there
is no immediate chance of revo-
luton in Germany to overthrow
the kaiser.
While official advices indicate
growing discomfort within the
empire, particularly among wom-
en-, authorizes have concluded
that the Germans, so used to kais-
err domination, will cause no up
heava until further casualties
open their eyes to the stupidity of
living under a murderous auto
cracy.
On this theory, Secretary IF
War Baker, Secretary of the Navy
Daniels and others engaged in
shaping America for a war against
this autocracy are laying their
plans with two or more years of
conflict in mind.
Meantime, official advices here
indicate the vatican is waiting for
America Ito see the light it is
convinced that the kaiser cannot
be overthrow and believes the
American people will not stand
for such sacrifices as the allies al
ready have made.
