THE VOICE OF GERMAN DEMO
CRAZY.

While the conservative press in
Germany storms and RACES over the
reply of President Wilson to the
pope's peace proposals, the Vorwars
of Berlin sticks to its guns by bold
ly advocating the cause of German
democracy.
In reality, the Wilson note" it de-
clares, contains nothing that is un-
acceptable to us. 1t imposes but one
condition, and that an extremely ac-
ceptable one. The people OF Ger
many are willing to furnish the guar
antees that President Wilson asks
for. If we are obliged to fight
against four-fifths of the universe, it
is not the fault of the German peo-
pie. When it is proposed to
end it (the carnage of war; by re-
forms which the German people have
demanded for years the proposition
deserves to be welcomed
This is not the voice OF the German
autocracy speaking. 1t is not the
voice of Junkertum. 1t has not the
authority of the kaiser's government
behind it. The Vorwarts is a single
newspaper, but it is the only news
paper in Germany that represents any
great body of people 1t is the
mouthpiece OF the Social Democratic
Party that in the last election before
the war polled about 100000 votes
The aims and principles of democracy
that it sought to promote under
Hohenzollern rule have not been en-.
tlrely extinguished by the militant
ctatorship-World.

test applied to them. Time Will re-
veal the United States also as in
vincible in arms as it was in it's com
bat with falsehood and conspiracy
Sympathy for the small neutrals
adjacent to Germany has had some
thing more than lip service from the
allies. The difficulties of Holland.
Denmark, Sweden and Norway have
been recognized and much has been
done to ease their burdens. I'm
questionably the enemy has had
great deal of commerce with them to
his profit as well as theirs, but until
now, although suspicious have been
abundant, there has been no evidence
that they were not all acting care
fully within their neutral rights.
The case of Sweden demands some
thing more than the watchfuIness ap-
piled to its neighbors. Whether in
that locality we face a nation terror
lied by Germany or corrupted by
Germany does not matter. Sweden
cannot maintain the role of a bel
hgerent in Argentina for the rewards
that may be forthcoming from Berlin
and continue to claim at the capitals
OF the allies the privileges belonging
of right to neutral.-World.
The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1917-09-21
THE CASE OF SWEDEN.

The offense committed by Ger
many in Argentina is aggravated by
the fact that at the very moment of
it's perfidy the government at Berlin
was assuring the government at
Buenos Ayres of friendship and good
behavior.
Argentina had suffered from the
lawlessness of the German subma-
rines. It's protests had been unheed-
ed until it threatened war. To this
the response was a grudging apology
for the wrongs done and a dubious
promise not only of reparation but
that there should be no further cause
of complaint. While this negotiation
was in progress the German repre-
sentative in Argentina was using the
inviolate Swedish diplomatic mail
pouches to notify Berlin of the sail
ings and destinations of Argentine
ships and to recommend that they be
sunk without leaving any traces"
Such bad faith in the interest of
the master outlaws of Potsdam is
we'll matched by the apparent treach-
cry of Sweden. When the legation
Of that country in Argentina trans
mitted the German agents messages
betraying the country to which it was
accredited, it added to personal. of.
fetal and national dishonor an act
grossly in violation of neutrality and
amounting to war itself.
Germany is already surrounded bv
a wall of steel representing ciyiliza-
tons determination to rid the world
OF a system without conscience OF
scruple. and new infamies will onlv
confirm the determination of that sys-
TENS foes. The case of Sweden
however, presents an old problem in
new aspect. Argentina's rights and
interests having been directly assaiL
ed, it is for that nation to determine
It's own course: but aside from any
action it may take, the countries at
war with Germany cannot iaore the
evidence now at hand of Sweden's
secret relations with Germany. There
must be break between Stockholm
and Berlin or the pretense of Swed.
ish neutrality must come to a sudden
end.
In diplomatic intrigue, as in war
for three long years, it is noteworthy
that nearly all German success has
been scored against weak peoples.
AS the Prussian propaganda has
broken down in every great nation
except Russia, so the kaiser's mill
tary machine has been halted, wher-
ever, outside that distracted country.

power. Belgium. Serbia and Rumania

OUR WAR LOANS AND WAR Elk
PENDiTuRES.

Besides our war loans of seven bill
lions our appropriations for war ex-
penditures foot up already the enor-
nous sum of S21,000,O00,0 900.
The sum is so stupendous that the
best mind at figures fails to grasp
it.
Leslie's Weekly, speaking of the
seven billion war loan independently
of the other greater expenditures
says that spent at the rate of a dol
lar every minute of the day and night
it would take thirteen thousand three
hundred and eighteen years to dis
pose of the appropriation to say moth
ing the accumulated interest.
Loaned at the rate of per cent
thirteen dollars could be spent every
second for an indefinite period with
out ever touching the principal.
Converted into silver dollars, the
coined pieces laid end to end would
reach more than four times around
the earth at the equator.
Piled on top of one another, these
silver dollars would extend six hun
dred miles into the air Looked down
from the topmost height they would
make the tower of Babel ashamed of
itself in its puny efforts to penetrate
the clouds.
Made into paper dollar bills they
would cover twenty-six thousand six
hundred and eighty-six acres.
With the twenty-one billion added
the above figures would have to
be multiplied.
The interest on the loan is said to
be greater than the entire running
expenses of the government was less
than half century ago, while the
amount itself would conduct the af-
fairs of the government for fully seven
years on the basis of the annual ex-
penditures for the last decade.
Another war loan Is imminent and
the interest it is to bear is to be
greater. At the end of the thirty
years the interest will have grown
largely greater than the principal.
This leads us to say why resort to
bond issues at all? Secretary Nc
Adoo says that the safest and strong
est security on Gods footstool is the
government of the United States.
That being true, why would not the
governments promise to pay be Sc
curity enough for the patriotic citi-
zens of this country to accept with
out hesitation or question?
The soldiers would gladly receive
this promise to pay" in any shape
the government might issue it.
The army contractor would receive
it,
The average citizen would be glad
to get it.
The banks surely would be patri-
otto enough to accept it ON its face
value
With the promise and strength of
the government back of it why would
it not be security enough for any
one?
Sure it would
There is nothing behind bond that
is not behind a dollar bill
AS long as the government has the
right to levy and collect taxes it will
have strength enough to take care of
all the money it needs wisely and
economically expended.
