There Is Only One Way
And That Way Is To
Whip Germany Now.

A great many Americans have not
yet grasped the vast menace triumph
ant and uncrushed Germany would be to
Americas future.
Ask one of these what would happen
II England and France had TO sue for
peace before we could bring our ire
mendous power to bear and he would
probably answer:
"Oh, ! guess the English and French
would have to give UP some land and
money to Germany. Then peace would
come and this country would go on very
much as before"
Never was there more mistaken
notion. 1t will never be possible for US
to go on as before until Germany is thor
oughly beaten, until the notion has been
shot out of her that she can rule the
world.
Let Germany win this war or let the
conflict end in a draw, and at no distant
date we shall have TO come TO grips with
her in an Armageddon worse than this
one.
After a breathing space, she will
prepare for war once more. With
Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey under her
thumb she will have more men. more
resources than before.
She will have vast stores Of all things
needful, so she could not be starved or
blockaded And she will have her eye
especially upon us.
This will be true because the eyes Of
German desire will be cast upon Central
and South America, rather than Asia.
That will bring her into conflict with the
Monroe doctrine. and that means CON
flict with US.
This is not fanciful picture.
Only the other day the Berlin Post
had an article on Mexico as the land Of
the future--in other words, a land Ger
many hopes to exploit in the future.
After the war Germany is going 70
need raw material. from some country
with which it viii be easy to enter into
intimate relations
The one country is Mexico. where
German influence is already consider
able.
Die Post points out Mexico's resources
and German interests.
II is easy 10 see what this means.

plant herself firmly on Mexican soil.

Our Lake Carriers Set
An Example for RAILROADS
And for the Slackers!

Summoning the bureau Of statistics
with request for immediate revision ~
the figures denoting our naval strength
IN the war to make the world safe Tor
democracy.
The last time we saw their report we
had 50 many battleships, so many cruis-
ers. 80 many destroyers, so many tor
pedo boats and so many submarines.
II had been most carefully compiled,
we could see, and might have been al
right at the time, but just now II Is
found TO be very incomplete.
The bureau will please add to our
floating strength the tonnage represent
ed by THE VESSELS OF THE GREAT
LAKES.
The Lake Carriers association SAYS
Il may-in fact, it has said so twice
from which everybody will please IN
derstand that it means 1t.
It said so first last March.
II said so again day before yesterday
in Cleveland, repeating for Washington
its earlier pledge made over the sigma
ture of President William Livingstone,
Of "its desire to cooperate in all ways
which will assist and insure the 0ene-
ft Of the nation"
'In that spirit said the resolutions
adopted in Cleveland, I'VE view the prob
lens in transportation Of iron ore, coal
and grain at little later time on the
great lakes"
In other words, the Lake Carriers as
sociation will not become part Of the
great conspiracy that has necessitated
stringent legislation in Washington.
While this is indeed the rght-side-up
attitude we would expect from an asso-
citation honored by having a man like
William Livingstone for its president, il
is heartening for the example it sets for
some of the railroad corporations that
may not have sensed as yet their re-
sponsibility in the war.
Let us say TO the slackers as we point
to the fine patriotism displayed by our
lake carriers in their willingness TO DO
their bit:
go thou and do likewise"

Single Tax DisprOved
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

Some time ago | wrote an article on
What the Single Taxer Said and gave
therein some of the arguments which
the advocate of this economic reform
advanced to me. AS this article has been
read by those perhaps who may have
been swayed more or less by the single
takers statements. | feel that it is but
lust TO reproduce herewith letter which
has recently been sent me by gentle
man who opposes the single taxer and all
his works. Thus the reader will have
before him both sides of the issue.
Who my correspondent is, he does not
say. 1t is easy TO conclude, however,
that he is one of our leading citizens,
member of the official board of the
church, grand worshipful warden of the
lodge. one of the directors of the district
school, and that his voice is still for the
old flag, the old party, the home, and
flial obedience (also wifely).
With magnificent self-restraint he
withers the opponent with cultured
scorn.
But here's the letter present it as
a model Of controversial literature.
You write so much that is good. he
says, what a pity that you ever write
on single tax" CAT some time, then,
have pleased him. My life has not been
wholly in vain)) THE very figures you
give of the hundreds Of millions Of acres
of idle land disprove what you set about
90 prove. The idle acres would produce
for many times our present population,
but the workers are not forthcoming"
True. Abe Johnson's had turble luck
hiring hands this season. But all this
is sparring Now comes the wallopl
did you ever see a single taxer," he
says. who worked the land or would
work it if given the most productive
lands possible? Did you ever know
single taxer that produced anything but
not air." Gle is now warming up
Tel me frankly" he continues do
you know of one Of them you would trust
to Y. or one that you would like to
see on a board Of directors or a trustee
in anything you were interested in?
There are millions of honest toilers
paving for homes and looking ahead to
complete ownership Of said homes. and
it Ill becomes any would-be philosopher
70 discourage them by preaching such
rotten socialistic doctrines of confsca-
ton which have been disproven thou
sands of times
Isn't one of these industrious home
seekers of more worth than thousand

ma Goldmans or 3. Marshes7"
Such is the letter To comment upon
il would be to paint the lily. So logical.
so clear; yet, you can see. by Hecki
there are some things he just plum can't
and won't stand.

vealed in this letter that are the

A Great Discovery

Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to
q dropsical condition, often caused by
disordered kidneys. Naturally when the
kidneys are deranged the blood is filled
with poisonous waste matter, which set
ties in the feet, ankles and wrists; or
under the eyes in bag-ike formations.
AS a remedy for those easily recog-
nized symptoms of inflammation caused
by uric acid-as scalding urine, back
ache and frequent urination, as well a.
sediment in the urine, or if uric acid in
the blood has caused rheumatism, lum-
bago, sciatica, govt, it is simply wonder
full how quickly Anuric acts; the pains
and stiffness rapidly disappear.
The very best possible, way to take
care of yourself is to take glass Of
hot water before meals and Anuric, the
discovery of DR.. Pierce Of Buffalo, N. Y.
Step into any drug store and ask for q
Soc. package Of Anuric, which is many
times more potent than ithia and elimi-
mates uric acid almost a. hot water melts
sugar. A short trial viii convince you.

arrived in New York after being ma

voyage.

disappeared the food supply seems
to be SUFFICIENT.

Miss Theda Bara, who is soon to be

as recluse. She has invitations to at

the latter being the homes Of her

any of them.
To many Of those who know her
