SAVE AMERICANS.

Reveals Colonization of Brazil
and Plans For
Domination

Chicago, Dec. Bishop Homer
c. Stuntz of the Methodist Episcopal
Church of Omaha, who was for four
Z years bishop in South America,
stirred the Methodist social union
banquet at the Hotel Morrison with
an unqualified endorsement of Pres
ident Wilson's message favoring a
declaration of war on Austria and
a war to victory against Germany
and the central powers.
Bishop Stuntz let in the light on
Germany's intrigues in South Amer
ica based on his personal knowledge
and documentary evidence and de-
clared the subjugation, of America
was part of Germany's plan wheth-
er defeated or victorious, and on that
account the United States must be
prepared to defend herself against
future attacks. even after Germany
is defeated in the present war.
Peace Only with Victory
In endorsing heartily president
Wilson's declaration that peace can
only follow victory by the United
States and her Allies, because we are
not fighting for territory but for
principles" he said.
These questions cannot be settled
around Il taDle by ulpIomats parCe1-
ing out territory, but by bringing
Germany to place where she Will
give up her doctrine of might makes
right.
II was in South America when
the United States declared war The
Germans in Brazil, and there are
100000 over there, were wild with
JOY. They felt der tag" the day,
had arrived and they said it will be
only a short time before Brazil with
its rich supplies of coffee, sugar and
cattle will be in possession of Ger
many.
Germans CoIoniZing Brazil
Il frequently visited Rio de jan
Giro while | lived in Buenos Aires
and talked with editors, diplomats
and leading citizens and it was COM
mon talk Germany was carrying on
systematic colonization with the ul-
innate purpose of gaining a control
ling influence on the American con-
tinent.
when the British were driving
the Germans out of South Africa the
discovery was made of documentary
evidence showing the exact amount
of supplies Brazil could furnish and
the plans whereby the Germans of
Brazil were to assist the Germans of
Africa, Cape Town. Africa, being
only an eleven day trip from the
principal South American port.
at was we'll known before the
war no German man was allowed to
come to Brazil without having first
served in the German army, so most
of the colO1istS are trained soldier
The immigrants had their passage
paid by the German government.
The school teachers taught German
i'm the schools and were paid from
Berlin.
This is peculiarly our war, for 1t
is a war for the principles for which
Americans have given their lives in
the past and on which we wrote the
declaration of independence. 1t is our
war because Germany has included
America in her plans of conquest.
Prussian autocracy stands in the
q way of the international brotherhood
Nowards which the spirit of the age
is moving.
The war will so bring the nations
together that the parliament of man.
the federation of the world will be
advanced further than it would have
been in $50 years by the slow prog
resS of evolution. Out of the str
Gle against Napoleon the missionary
movement of the church arose,
which is transforming the Orient,
and out of the present struggle
against the German kaiser, the Ma
poleOn of the twentieth century will
come the brotherhood of the ma
tions."
