camp at Montague township recently
with the carcass of black bear,
weighing POI pounds, and with thrill
ing story. For two days they had been
chased by the bear and his mate in
the woods near Dingman's but they
were aided by the fog in eluding the
animals.
One of the gunners ran short of am
munition and had to make his way
alone to Dingman's for more, and then
the two of them undertook the work
of seeking the bears. They came upon
the big black bear in the woods, and,
after repeatedly shooting at him, man
aged to kill him. Leaving this bear
where he had fallen, they made a
search for his mate, but, after several
hours of this work, had to give it up.
They obtained large log, strung
the bear on 1t, and marched into camp.

German arms which would otherwise
have been certain. thus saving us from
the terrors of German militarism. We
are fighting Germany because the sue
cess of Germany would mean the end
of freedom here and everywhere.
America cannot remain free If kaiser
ism wins. If Germany should tri-
umph over our European allies, we
would have to battle single handed
with victorious Teuton autocracy,
determined to conquer and subjugate
the world.
For 40 years Germany has been
building up a military machine, the
central thought of which has been
world domination, and this terrible
world calamity of blood and misery is
the result of this aim of the German
autocracy.
Outlaw Among Nations.
Germany's method of warfare, in the
sinking of merchant ships without
warning, in the drowning of helpless
women and children, in bombarding
unfortified cities, in lurking like as
sassins beneath the waters and in the
air, ready to strike and murder the un-
armed. the unsuspecting. and the help
less, has evidenced a savagery and
brutality such as the world has never
known before. Humanity will find 1t
difficult to forgive and history impos-
sible to forget. Germany is the out
law among the nations, trampling un-
der foot every obligation of interna-
tional law, threatening every ideal
dear TO the hearts of freemen; and
the world will not be safe place for
liberty until the German autocracy is
overthrown and crushed forever.
We would have lost the respect of
mankind and our own self-respect had
we failed to take up the gauntlet so
insolently thrown In our face by the
German rulers. We are fighting for
our own freedom and for the freedom
of all men during all the years to
come. 1t takes fighting to make the
people free and more fighting to keep
the people free We want no con-
quered territory, we desire no indem-
nifty. The mission Of America in this

recognized by congress, and thus re-
luctantly we were brought into the
world conflict. after the president had
done everything that could fairly be
done to avoid the catastrophe. Now
that we are in the war we see, with
clearer vision, that 1t was inevitable
that we should go in, for it is our war
as much as the war of England and
France. 1t is war TO preserve our
rights and our liberties as much as
theirs.
Fight Is Universal.
1t Is now evident to all thinking
Americans that Germany must be con-
quered or else Germany will conquer
us along with the rest of the world.

democratic or all autocratic, whether

people shall obtain throughout the

are at war with Germany because
there is an irreconcilable conflict be-

Several days ago Royster received

Then the detectives arrested Sophie
