Once in while you hear some one
say that our situation in the Civil
War was different, that then we were
fighting for our homes. But were
We? Are we now any more the ag-
gressors than we were then? Did
we need to fight to protect our homes
in 1861 any more than now? His
tory tells US that the people of the
South demanded that we allow them
to attend to their own business in
their own way. They say that this
privilege was refused them, that the
soldiers of tn North flew down upon
them and that they had to fight to
protect THEIR homes. If Germany
had owned the southern states then,
VIC would have found thousands Of
people throughout the North demand
ing that we had no right to mix in
their affairs. When we fought the
first Mexican war, the Mexicans in the
I. S. didn't like it. But the Ger
mans didn't have anything to say.
1t we were fighting England instead
of Germany in this war we would
find the most vocifcrols patriots in
the ranks of the men who would TODAY
he willing to see the United States
defeated; yes, who secretly pray that
such a thing may come to pass.
1.-THE wish is father to the
thought. When you hear a man
say that Germany can win even with
the United States in it, or that Ger
inai y will sink our troops as fast as
they go on the ocean, put it down
that such a man is traitor at heart,
that the only reason he doesn't come
cut III the open and say SO is because
he is coward at heart as we'll as
traitor.

around at Temvik to get signers pro-
testing against sending our boys to
France. He tackled the wrong man
once, who said: Certainly, won't
sign that. Uncle Sam will be glad
to get the lists with those names on
them. Then if anything goes wrong
around here he'll know just where
to look for the pro-German sympa-
thizers. 1t will be nice thing for
the government to have list of them
who are trying to injure the interests
of our armies by fighting to ball up
the military program.

termed. If he commits an actual
crime, other than vainglorious talk,
he should be given the limit.
Around here we have men peddling
petitions asking that "our boys be
not sent to France" Like the duel

hard Germany to conquer. We

Gil Europe is at her feet, Canada
one of her prizes of war, and thousands
are bearing down upon US from the
Canadian border. It is all well and
good. to bawl about fighting the other
fellows battle. If these pro-German
agitators and the idiotic pacifists
have their way, it will not be so far
in the future until they will not need
to send their troops to Europe. No
indeed. They can watch them butch
cred on our own soil, their homes
burned to ashes, their women out
aged and their children mutilated for
life.
Oh, it is fine to talk about what
Wilson should do and what he should
not. He is no fool He came not
into the war until all other means
failed. The man is blind or an idiot
Of the most idiotic type who will
not see when the print is so plain.
Fne German nation is country gone
mad. 1t is raving maniac in the
family of nations. Would pcvc, is
The .ust that drives it on And still
we find thousands of the selfish, the
foolish and the discomfort of our land
throwing monkey-wrenches into the
military gears of our war machine.
Two years ago hundreds of far-see-
ing Americans were begging and
pleading for reasonable amount of
military preparation to protect our
interests in the worldwide confla-
grafton then raging. Organism and
pacifism was rampant in the nation,
and their efforts prevailed. Now,
when the die is cast many valuable
months are being squandered on those
things that Bryan and his followers
land Count Won Bornstorff's Spies
prevented.
"Please don't send our boys to
France" What cry of the child
ish. What whine of the selfish
money-made human being who can't
see beyond the end of his nose.
Why didn't they howl, "Please don't
send our boys to Manila Bay OF
Don't let our boys go to possible
death in Cuba fighting the battles of
some one else" The answer is plain
There weren't enough Spaniards in
the United States. Too many men
who came here and swore allegiance
to this flag perjured themselves when
they did it, for they never intended to
keep their oath.

This time next week the Record
man will be deeply engaged in learn
ing the military tricks that go to
make up great army in a world war.
Hours are from 500 a. m. to $3.50
p. M, with hardly time to catch your
breath between. A short period at
meal time, and the rest of the time
work. Carrying a 6O-pound pack
most of the day on jaunt across
country is one of the minor pastimes
of the business.
And what we are doing at Fort
Smelling will be duplicated in other
camps all over the nation. And other
camps have completed a similar
course. Soon thousands of our
new National Army will be taking
up the work, perhaps not as intensive,
but along the same lines. In the
spring thousands of our men will take
the trip across the big ocean, and the
daily lists of deaths, injured and
missing will begin. Already
American troops have made part of
the trip. 1t yet remains for some of
them to get their names in the causu-
atty lists to complete the cycle. The
government tells us that these daily
lists will be started August 9th.
That is Monday.
1t would seem that the American
troops in France will get into action
by that time, at least, from the an
nouncement. On the same day
thousands of business and profession
al men throughout the nation will
begin their grind at the training
camps.
All these things should bring re-
Election to our people.
We expect to have many a life
snutfed out on the field of battle.
Each man who signs his name to the
enlistment papers, and takes the oath
of service looks forward to just that
thing. However, when they go into
battle, they expect to fight the enemy,
and he alone. The men in front do
not expect their comrades to pick
them off from behind And, it is a
crying shame that any man in the
entire nation can do one solitary thing
to endanger these men from behind
Every German hircling that walks
the soil of America today, every idi-
ot:c peace-at-anyprice advocate, and
every person who in any way OBJ
s.ructs the proper conduct of the war
IS doing his part to undermine the
safety of the American fighting
forces. The men already in France,
and he men that will be there soon,
have the right to demand of those
snecks in this country who would in
lure their chances of success by per-
sonal or petty interests that they de-
sist their scheming and plotting. The
American government has always
been lenient with its internal enc
mics. But there must be limit
to all things. Men like Sen. R. NJ.
LaFollctte and AISLE J. Gronna need
informing until the close of the war.
Ittv are menace to the nation.
the men who cry that they are good
American citizens BUT always
that eternal "but," should be treated
in the same manner. Do these idiots
believe for minute that the Ameri-
can soldiers shall be subjected to the
tortures of he'll while the towards,
slackers and crooks at home fight
with their mouths? There must be a
head TO this government. and it must
be firm. Any man that in any way
endangers the welfare Of this nation
in this war should be promptly in
