LETTING THE CAT OUT OF THE
BAG


For a long time Germany tried to
fool the world into the belief that Il
had entered into the war simply for
the purpose of repelling invasion and
to preserve the integrity of her gov
eminent.
But after three years and more no
invaders have yet set foot on her soil,
and now Admiral Won Tirpitz. in
speech at Munich, has let the cat out
of the bag and the world perceives
the impelling cause Of Germany's en-
tering upon the TERRIBLE holocaust of
war.
He said that Germany's military Sc
curity lies in Belgium. The annexa-
ton of Belgium to German territory
must be the decisive issue of the war.
He added: Germany must have
Antwerp that Austria must become
the principal protecting power of the
mouth of the Danube, and that Ger
many was interested in the solution
of the Balkan situation"
He is very severe against Anglo
Americanism, and he says to do other
wise than do as he suggests would
degrade Germany into being the bond
slave of Anglo-Americanism.
Then again he says that the Danube
question will result in the terrible,
all-devouring battle against the tyr
amy of Anglo-Americanism.
He has Anglo-Americanism on the
brain.
There is no question of doubt that
Germany is intensely, almost insanely
jealous of England and America, yet
no nation in the world has ever in so
short time extended her foreign
trade as Germany has.
The cabalistic sign, made in Ger
many" has belted the globe.
Think you that Germany could have
done this if she had been restricted
in her trade by Great Britain or any
of the other nations?
Germany has had the same ocean
rights that Great Britain, the United
States or any other nation has enjoy
ed; if it were otherwise she could not
have extended her trade so quickly
and SO successfully
Her hatred of England and America
is without justification. She has
grown desperate in her ambition for
world power and she must suffer the
consequences of her pride and folly.
Her case will be another exemplifi-
cation that pride goeth before fall.

WHAT HAS GERMANY DONE?

1t is perfectly natural that those
who sympathize with Germany in the
present struggle should feel elated
over the outcome of affairs in Russia
and Italy.
Except for the retreat of the Ital.
ians, caused by the want of food and
ammunition, which in time will more
than be retrieved, there is not so much
to give citation.
Suppose a revolution should
occur in Germany, that the civil pop
ulation should arise in its majesty
and might, overthrow the reigning dy-
nasty, send the kaiser into exile, and
depose the navy and army officers,
and establish republic, under this
state of affairs could the allies boast
very much of their part in the affair?
The revolution and cnaos now ex-
listing in Russia sheds no valor on
German arms. 1t is not the work Of
German skill or bravery.
Germany's objective was Paris.
What progress is she making? She
was to have been in Paris within six
ty days. Is she nearer there now than
she was when she first made her dash
through Belgium? In fact she was so
near there then that all France felt
that its capture was so imminent that
the seat of government was hastily re-
moved to Versailles.
Germany's armies, step by step. are
gradually being driven back.
In February it will have been three
years since the crown prince made his
onslaught on verdun, which was to
nave been in his hands within period
OF thirty days. (See vereck's Father.
land). But its capture is more re.
mote today than it was In February.
1915.
Tne temporary retreat in italy and
the collapse of the Russian govern.
ment win give the German people a
little more heart to continue the
struggle, but it will only DELAY the fl.
nal and certain victory of the allies
1t will only prolong the struggle and
intensity and add to oermany's bur.
dens.

AFTER ITALY

The great German drive on the Ro-
mans is undoubtedly designed to make
an end to Italy as a factor in the war
so that Germany and her allies can
mass all their strength for the second
great drive on Paris. The collapse of
Russia, followed by the demoraliza-
ton of Italy would release several
million Teutonic soldiers who could
then be used on the western front.
And it seems to be good guess that
Germany plans doing the same thing
in France that has been done in Rus
STA and Italy, the intention being to
clear the field for a final smash on
Paris-perhaps before Christmas and
certainly before spring, the German
general staff undoubtedly being of the
opinion that the only hope to demon
alize France lies in doing so before
the arrival of American troops next
spring. II France could be prostrat-
ed before that time and German
troops enabled to sieze French Allan.
tic seaports, English and American
troops would be shut out or forced to
make a landing in southern France on
the .Mediterranean-their fighting eff
fectiveness thus being immensely re-
duced.
Some very interesting statistics re-
garding the relation of the war to pop
ulation in Italy have been given by
Professor Frencesco Nitti, of the Uni
versity of Naples, who is visiting in
this country He says that prior to
the outbreak OF the war Italy was
sending out $4,000 emigrants annu.
ally. Not only was the emigration
practically stopped, but the nation
called home 100000 of her sons liable
to military service. Prof. Nitti says
that while no authorized statistics OF
war losses are to be had, he is GER
tain that the losses have not amount.
Led to 100000. The close of the war
will find Italy stronger in man power
than when the war began. These
facts are worthy of consideration in
America because of the Importance OF
after-war conditions. Shall we have
great influx of Italian laborers OF
will the Italians stay in Europe and
produce commodities to sell in the
American market? Nitti thinks there
will be a large emigration, but not to
America. He thinks the emigration
from Italy will be to France and Bel
GUM, where there will be great de
mand for men because of the war
losses.

FROM ONE WHO KNOWS GER
MANY

Professor Max F. Meyer OF the Uni
versity of Missouri was bred and born
in Germany. Particularly interesting,
therefore, is his reply to an invitation
TO join one of those societies which
are covertly seeking to hamper our
governments prosecution of the war.
After stating that he had lived in Ger
many for a quarter of a century and
had spent nineteen years in its edu-
cational institutions, from the kin
dergarten to the research laboratory,
Professor Meyer declares. Il am thor,
oughly familiar with the present or
ganization of the German social body
and with its elimination, the present
German government; am much more
familiar with it than is any of your
committee"
Then comes the heart OF his an
swer:
IF Germany wins this war, fifty
years hence its government will rule
the American people. do not want
my American children to be put under
this yoke which l escaped by coming
to America My hope is that the Ger
man government will be overthrown
and that the German nation, my rela-
tives and friends, will enter an inter
national organization for peace and
justice. But the German government,
this fearful danger to our future, can
be overthrow only by raising armies,
not by sitting around your council ia
bles and working for the repeal of the
draft laws"
There speaks true citizen of Amer
lea and a good citizen of the world
and a wise friend to the German peo-
pie, though they cannot realize it un-
der the spell of kaiserism. Those
who know the German government
best, and who think sanely and free
ly wish most for its destruction. AS
for those persons in this country who
either as dunder-headed pacifists or
downright demagogues seek to pro-
long the life of that criminal regime
by opposing Americas war measures,
they are not only false to the
United States but, in effect, foes of
liberty and civilization Atlanta Jour

THE ALDERMANlc RAcE-AN APP
PEAL FOR PROTECTION
AND RELIEF

AND RELIEF
The primary objects of government
are to give protection to the citizens
| in the enjoyment of life, liberty and
property.
| When these things are not done
government becomes failure and
leads to violence and mobocracy.
| Those of us unfortunate enough to
live in the vicinity of the new electric
and water works plant are suffering
under severe grievance, and in the
approaching municipal election we
are making an earnest appeal to the
voters for protection and relief
/ Inc edltor of this paper did what
he could to have this plant located
outside of the residential section,
where the city owns large tract OF
land but his earnest efforts were over
ruled by those in control of the city
government.
| We were told that the new plant
would in no way be a disturbance;
that the machinery would be noise.
less and that the buildings would be
attractive rather than otherwise.
But what do we find?
We find that the noise is so great,
so monotonous and nerve-racking,
that slumber is almost impossible,
and the housewives in the neighbor-
hood are nearly run to distraction.
Are we entitled to no protection; no
relief?
| Not only this, but the valuation of
property is destroyed. Instead of
property in the neighborhood being
an asset it is now a liability
The writer of this article owns
three houses in the immediate vicin-
| ity. He has just spent something over
two thousand dollars in the improve
ment of two of them, but cannot rent
them at any price on account of the
noise.
This property is worse than being
dead on his hands, for he is compelled
to pay taxes on the houses and vacant
lots, besides paying for municipal i'm
provements, such as pavements, etc.
He has been living here for fifty-one
years, struggling day in and day out
for the upbuilding of the city, and
now after having gained little COM
petence in his old age he sees his
property destroyed by those in control
lof the city government, If this dis
traction is to continue.
Now he would have no one believe
that he feels for one moment that
this was done through envy, hatred or
malice He does not believe any such
thing.
Those in authority have simply
made mistake, which any of us or
all of US are liable to make at times.
ALI we ask is that this mistake be
rectified. That this nerve-racking en-
CINE be abandoned and substituted
with a new and noiseless one, that
will not destroy property valuations
and make living unbearable, for sure
ly the happiness and enjoyment of a
people are worth more than any piece
of machinery.
In electing new members of the
city council we want men selected
who will not only be willing but more
than anxious to give those unfortu-
nate ones living in the vicinity of the
disturbance a full measure of protec-
ton and relief.
Is this asking too much? If it is,
then we mistake the feelings. senti-
ments and temper of the people of
this community
