Germany May Be On Her
Last Legs, But America Must
Deliver the Knockout Blow


Opinions about conditions IN Germany
are as various as their holders.
One hears Germany has plenty Of men
and munitions. but is on the verge Of
starvation.
The next day one hears il Is impos-
sible TO starve Germany, but she is COM
ing 70 the end OF her msn-power.
And so on.
Perhaps the nearest thing 70 The truth
is the saying Of Swiss merchant:
Germany is on her las; legs. bur her
feet are firmly planted on the earth.
I, stands 20 reason that Germany
must be greatly weakened.
Financially she has been shut IN and
her system Of paying for me var has
resulted IL an inverted pyramid that
must crash some day.
Commercially she is bankrupt, because
her great sea-horne traffic which hsd
mace her rich. was automatically stop
ped by RritaIn's navy
she is ca short food rations, and has
been.
Soor things VIII be worse because Of

And German troops have bsttleo on AL

The magniicently trained troops Of
the early months the veterans OF the
first two years. must in considerable
numbers either be dead or incapacitated.
Their places have been taken by older
and younger men. combings from those
previously deemed unfit
But as the Swiss put it, Germany
stands firmly on her feet. She faces the
foe as defantly as before
Many vii think o. her As n the same
case with Japan in the war with Russia
The japanese had won battle after bat

Russian power appeared definitely
shattered
We know now that Japan was war
weary, war-depleted. on her last legs,

bluff that she was inyincible
So il may be with Germany
All the pompous speeches may be in

courage al home but 10 feed the enemy
abroad
At this stage the most important JOB
falls 10 the United States
We come into the conflict fresh and
strong
Il becomes, therefore. our task and
our privilege 10 deliver the knockout
blow 70 the grog/ Teuton powers.
B IS brave people We must DO our

As q peeple hating militarsm, having
Zirded UP our iolns and armed our

Abe Brown Is a Mutt,
All Right, But He Has a
Plenty of Company


Mayhap We had better refer TO Abe as
twice Mutt
In the first place, Ace had q pretty
good friend, down Indianapolis way by
the name of James Fleming.
We know James was good friend be
cause he was IN the habit Of inviting
Abe to hts home and among other
things, 70 eat.
A man who gets himself invited out 70
eat in these days OF prohibitively priced
ham and prohibitively priced eggs and
prohibitiyely priced potatoes and other
trimmings is a lucky person, and the
friend who does the inviting is worth
hanging onto
Abe is twice 8 mutt because. IN the
first place he loosed the strings that
let down the welcome sign by helping
himself 10 things that were not upon the
: bill OF fare.
Little articles around the Fleming
household of more or less value began
to disappear.
Fleming and his good wife were dis
cussing the disappearance oi these
things one evening and concluded that
the mystery introduced itself close
enough upon the crossing OF Abe's heels
at the Threshold to be what they'd call
simultaneous.
Abe happened in for little chat the
other evening and proceeded 70 show
James and Mrs Fleming pair Of hand
cuffs he had purchased.
"Show US how they work" said Mrs.
Fleming.
Simple: just like this" said Abe
And there the handouts were, locked,
and the key nowhere to be found
We'll call the police and have them
unlock them, said Mrs. Fleming
Fine" said Abe.
The police came, whereupon Mrs.
Fleming asked them to leave the hand
cuffs on Abe until they had taken him to
the station.
She said she would follow along and
prefer a charge of larceny against him
This man Abe Brown reminds Us Of
our old friend, Mr. Common People.

Only Mr.. Common People is more
times a mutt than Abe is.
There is Mr.. Common Peoples right

abusing the privilege
Like Abe, he fails to appreciate and
undertakes privilege.
II is one of Mr. Common Peoples

a citizen at the voting booth on primary
day and take a hand in the nominating
of good men for Office.

he may choose between.
