Germany is not contemplating"
making war on America-it is max
ing war. It, in fact. made war on US
long before We declared war. The
country cannot win the war by OBJ
Jecting to war, no matter how con-
scientious the objection may be.
Germany is not to be stopped by any
foolish sentiment about the UPRIGHT
eousness Of war. Germany must be
whipped. And nation like Germany
can only be whipped by fighting.
II the pacifists cannot understand
that, then they are hopeless, indeed.
But they ought not to attempt to
excuse either their lack Of common
sense on their lack OF loyalty by an
assumption of morality. There are
degrees Of treason. But treason is
treason, nevertheless. 1t is never
morality.

Real Estate Values


Nebraska State Journal: Four or
five years ago a successful real
estate investor. who has bought and
sold business property in Chicago,
st. Louis, Kansas City. Denver and
Lincoln, made a statement that in
less than twenty years the ground
available between Fourteenth and x
streets and Eleventh and 0 streets
would be built up solidly to business
blocks. He had been driven over the
city and upon being asked in which
direction would business grow in
Lincoln. inquired where the most
expensive residence lots were locat-
ed. On being told that rs feet has
just been sold for $500 across the
street from the capitol. he then made
the prophecy above referred to. He
said that 1t had been his experience
that business did not often follow
the center of population as many
thought, but went toward the high
est priced residence lots. He cited
instances OF this In Sioux City,
Kansas City, Chicago and Denver.
1t seems as IL his judgment will be
INDICATED here in Lincoln.

There are various sorts of German.
which is anti-American, propogarda
at work in this country.
There is the propaganda of the
professional German-American who
came over here twenty years ago as
a steerage passenger and who, haY-
ing made his stake thanks to the
the unlimited possibilities of Ameri-
ca, returned as a first-class pas
senger every year or so, until the war
broke out, to Germany. There he
posed as a Simon Pure Yankee and
read the New York Herald, while
back in America he posed as an up
holder of Billy the Kaiser's Three
or is IL Four-K's, and read the New
Yorker Herold.
There is the intellectual propa-
gandist who bases his opinions orr
selected mis- quotation from Carlyle
and various books on Political Econ
onics; who spouts fiuently about a
model German town like Dusseldorf,
but who has never taken the trouble
to investigate a model American
town like Bristol.
Historical Propaganda.
There is the historical propaRandist
who, forgetting the German Forty
Fighters who came here in search of
the freedom clouted together by men
with names like Washington. Hamil

what America owes to Frederick the
Great, the most perjured and ,un-
scrupufous politician who ever lived,
and who would have made an alliance
with the devil himself If 1t had help
ed him to gain his ends, These
gentlemen seldom mention the Ger
man Hessians who fought for the
German King George.
All these different propagandists
are comparatively harmless After
all, their main argument consists in
talking louder than the other man.

ates between patriotism and hysteria

There are those who would

war program. But no greater
mistake in judgment was ever
made. &
The American people as a
mass have regretted the neces-
stty for going to war. We had
hoped against hope that it could
be avoided. Even at this day
there is an undercurrent of hope
that in some way, consistent
with honor, the dire consequences
OF war as felt by the European
nations may be avoided.
But while this hope is in the
national heart, there is also in
that heart grim, deadly de-
termination that certain objects

William and Henry

From The Kansas City Times: We
pick up the paper and see that Will
liam Allen White and Henry j. AL
len are going to Europe to work for
the Red Cross. We have lived neigh
bors to these two Kansans a good
many years and know them pretty
we'll. We have written in both their
albums and they have written in
ours. While the Red Cross has ask
ed us for no recommendations for
either of them. and neither has CIV
en- us as a reference, we feel like
saying to the Red Cross-and what
we feel like saying about William
Allen White and Henry ]. Allen we
say-that in picking them for the job
1t has picked itself two men who will
do the JOB. And we reckon it wanted
the job done.
While we say 1t with all heart
mess, because we know it's true, we
want to say as plainly that we wish
the Red Cross hadn't had such an
unerring instinct for going TO the
right shop. Because, look here
this neighborhood sometimes needs
a little first aid itself. Perhaps not
strictly of the Red Cross variety, but
first aid just the same. When 1t does
need it-and it never knows when
it's going tot has been in the
habit of looking for 1t from those
same two Kansans.
We are willing to do our share for
the Red Cross, Of course. Get us
right on that. If the Red Cross had
proposed to take one Of them we
shrould not have objected. 1t could
have drawn straws for them, and
whichever one it drew it would have
got the man 1t needed. But both of
them-oh, say!
But the Red Cross says it's only
for few weeks and we know the
emergency = is great Well well,
we're no slackers. We know we
ought not to think Of Bill White and
Henry Allen in just neighborhood
terms. They don't really belong to
us, we know. For while we never
have outgrown the need of them, we
suppose it's true they have outgrown
us. At least. outsiders seem to think
so the way they reach out for them
when they have a bigger job for
them than we happen to have on
hand at the moment.
But just the same we would like
to have 1t understood we want them
back. Get us right on that, too!
