Why We ARE AT WAR.

Germany has forced America,
as it has forced practically the
entire world. to defend itself sy
arms. We are fighting this war
because Germany made war uron
US. America is a peaceful Ma
ton we have no lust for con-
quest, no desire for annexation
of territory we are defending
ourselves against Germany be.
Cause the Imperial German Gov.
eminent entered upon a program
which meant the destruction IF
all American institutions.
When we finally recognized
that Germany was waging war
upon us we had seen more than
225 Americans, among them
many women and children, killed
BY German submarines +; hos
pital ships had been sunk and
unfortified towns had been bomb
ed and bombarded. Medals had
been struck in honor of the SIM {.
ing of the Lusitdnid, the murder.
Gus act by which so many of our
men, women and children, lost
their lives. German officials had
treated the United States, a neu.
trail nation, as an enemy. Strikes
were organized in this country,
plants were blown up, pro-Ger-
mau publications were founded
and subsidized, and hatred of
America was Systematically
sought to be inculcated among
our foreign-born Inhabitants.
Every effort was made to involve
us in trouble with Japan and
Mexico. Our repeated protests
were met with promises and ex.
plantations which were little bet
ter than insults.
The Imperial German Govern
ment finally proclaimed the un-
restricted destruction of neutral
ships upon the high seas. It
was the notification of the United
States that our people were no
longer sovereign, and that if
they would sail the seas in safe.
ty we must conform to cond .
tions laid down by Government
that defed international la W, hui
manity, and elemental morality.
A policy of terrorism has been
Systematically apps by the I'M
perial German Government since
the outbreak of the European
war. Treaties that stood in the
way Of German militaristic plans
have been disregarded, women
and children have been treated
with Undesirable brutality, the
noblest works of art have been
destroyed, and prisoners have
been abused and maltreated and
civilian populations massacred
and deported.
This is why America has gone
into this war in defense of A mer.
lean honor and American rights.
TO have done anything else
would have been to surrender our
sovereignty, and we would Ii. We
been forced in the end to fight
constituencies and rapac Gus
military autocracy-an autocracy
which is in this war avowed '
for indemnities, aggrandizement,
aud the control of the world,
Our success means that our chill.
dren and our children's children
will be able to enjoy peace.

TtGROES TO BIB MANY
 "a IN NEW DRAFT ARMY

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 1s.- When the full strength of Americas neF army is ranged on the battle frSnt of France, negro troops win make up approximately one-eleventh of the men under the Stars and Stripes.
 Although negro soldiers from Afri- ca or the West Indies have fought in many European struggles, and fol- loved some of the greatest command CTS, from Hannibal to Napoleon, the American contingent is by no means at home on the European soil.
 Since the beginning of the war both France and Britain have em- pldyed African troops on the Vest ern front. Their fighting record has been brilliant. especially that of the French Senegalese.
 While the new American negro units will be commanded to a great CT degree than ever before by men of their own race, the bulk of the officers will be white men. This is also true of the French and British and Italian negro battalions.
 Uncle Sam, has in the regular army y four negro regiments which have been raised to war strength and now number close to 1000 men, Two are cavalry and two infantry. The cav airy are the Eleventh, of Carrizal fame. and the. Ninth. of whic han American general once said after see ing the famous French cuirsssiers, supposed to be the crack regiment of the world: "If had to so 1000 yards through hell, would rather have the Ninth Cavalry back of me than anything I ever saw" The regular army negro regiments are oficered exclusively by white West Pointers.
 The following negro National Guard units are now in the federal service and officered exclusively by colored ofiicers: .,s...
 First separate Connecticut Com pany, go men. oficer; first separ- ate District of Columbia battalion. 598 men, II officers; Eighth Illinois regiment. 1856 men. 7S officers: first separate Maryland company, 150 men, officers. Fifteenth New York h. fantry regiment. 2053 men, 54 off, cers; first separate Massachusetts company, 150 men, officers. Total 6641 men. POI officers.
 There have been just commission

ed from the training camp for negro officers at Des Moines, Iowa, . total of s25 omcers-10s captains, 320 first lieutenants, 1ss second lieuten- ants. ..
 This total of training camps and National Guard onicers-826-con- stitutes the present visible supply of colored officers-except few hold ing minor stan positions in the regu- lar army.
 The negro troops drawn for ser vice are being traiped at all the 1s national army cantonments-in sep arate battalions and regiments. .s. When the training is complete, one and probably two or three, divisions of negro troops exclusively will be formed and one of them will be among the first national army units sent to France.
 Negroes have fought in all Ameri' can wars, from the Revolution tC the brush at Carrizal. In the Civi War hundreds of thousands were raised and did some fine fighting There were few commissioned of fcers, but nothing like the numbel now given commands. ..,

GENERAL GREENE ...
 HAS NEW QUARTERS

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Nov, 16.- This was moving day at Camp Lew Is for Major General Greene. his stan and assistants. The oflices were moved from the east half of the camp quar- termaster's building, vacated several weeks ago by Lieutenant Colonel Stones stan, to the new two-story Headquarters building. It is heated by steam and we'll finished. The new French officers who reported yester- day to serve as instructors, will have offices in the new building.
 At least two of the four national army men at Camp Lewis caught in the drug ring roundup will be tried by court martial next week, 1t was announced today. The military au- thorities are said to have a list of forty men in the division addicted to the drug habit. with prospects that at least two-thirds of them will be dis charged on the ground of physical disability.
 Major General Greene went to Se- attle last evening and addressed the University of Washington students on the army. Captain M. D. Welty, aide on the generals staff. accompanied him. '
 Willie Ritchie, boxing instructor at Camp Lewis, attended the smoker staged by the 363rd and 364th In- fantry regiments last evening and was highly pleased with the showing the men made in the boxing bouts.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or ealIus so It lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes a size smaller If you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of a drug
called %freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

Between $50 and 200 women soon
will be driving military motor cars be-

sand women in Paris who hold licenses
to drive motor cars The passive re-
~sistance of the different war bureaus

The women are obliged to enlist for
three months and to agree to submit
~scrupulously to military rules and dis
cipline. They will in the beginning
replace motor ambulance drivers in the
foreign sanitary sections who are
transferred to other services. Later
on they may replace men in other au-
tomobile sections.
