WHEN GERMANY Tricks BACK

Many people have expressed the
opinion that Germany is building up
against herself great hatred which
will not be forgotten for generations,
and which always will be evident
against Germany, says an exchange.
1t is highly improbable that such a
condition will exist, and if Germany
is beaten, as now seems probable, she
will be received back into the sister
hood of nations with the signing of
the treaty of peace.
History will show that most of
the racial hatred that accompanies
war has been the result of conquest
and devastation of territory. I'm
doubtedly deep and existing hatred
has grown up in outraged Belgium.
The French are magnanimous in
character and quick to forgive. Eng
land is easy-going, and like the
United States, feels to a great extent
that the war is not against the Ger
man people, but against the German
government, themselves in the grip
of the militaristic party.
In our country it took less than a
generation for the hatred to die that
necine strife. Where there has been

THE FOURTH IN BARABOO

The Fourth of July in Baraboo was
marked success. Patriotic citizens
from Reedsburg, Prairie du Sac, Sank
City, Merrimack, Ableman, North
Freedom, and elsewhere joined in
making the day one long to be re-
membered. Much is due to the mem
bers of the committee in Baraboo for
the arrangements and preparing
many of the attractions in the pag-
cant. The weather man did his best
and thee splendid atmosphere gave
all an opportunity to hear the ad-
dresses and discuss the phases of the
war. Taken the country over, the day
was no doubt one that instilled thou
sands to patriotism who had been
more or less apathetic before. How
could such strong addresses as those
given in Baraboo help but move the
most Indifferent to feel that this is a
world where one nation must not be
permitted to go out and break treat
les, to disregard rights and to MUIR
der humanity broadcast. This gives
independence Day this year new
meaning, a new aspect. 1t has been
three months since war was declared
on Germany, and it gave the nation
an opportunity to look back and see
what it has achieved, and to look for
ward with contemplation on the
mighty task that lies yonder.
No doubt those who bore the bur-
den of making the Fourth a success
feel debt of gratitude towards those
who aided in any way, for the day
was one that will go down in history
as a memorable occasion.

Ages Cf Soldiers

c. S. Blanchett, veteran of the
Civil War, submite the following for
the Ollapodrida Column, the article
being taken from the National Trib-
une:
1t may interest readers to know
more approximately what the ages
were of this great and loyal Union
Army at the time of their enrolment
in defense of the old Flag. AS borne
out by official records, the following
is the remarkable exhibit:
At the age of 10 and under 25
At the age of IL and under 2z5
At the age of IA and under 1923
At the age of 16 and under S44,S01
At the age of Is and under-1, Isl, 43S
At the age of 81 and under-2, 1897
At the age of % and over 61S,516
From the above showing, who can
gainsay the fact that the salvation Of
our nation, the preservation of the
American republic, is mostly due to
youths in their teens; to the boys of
1861-'65 who so promptly responded
to their cOuntry'S call.
