Az EFFEMINIZED NATION.

The United States is an effeminizet
nation, according to Rear Admiral
Fiske, retired. The Admiral bases his
deduction on the allegation thai
we're too luxurious and don't possess
enough of the fighting spirit.
On that basis all modern nations
are moro effeminized than the nations
or tribes that used-tote
The American Indian, the cave man,
and prehistoric mankind were filled
with the fighting spirit and didn't go
in for Injuries.
1t was when society got out of the
tribal state that 1uxuries came on
apace. Even now our men -of-war arc
Nluxurious castles compared with the
old Roman galleys and other craft OF
ancient navigators.
Admiral Fiske talks as if the prime
business of mankind is to fight, and
that the nation that doesn't readily
revert to this ancient deal is effem-
inized.
1t appears to us that the more civ
ilization we have on earth the more
luxury we have-and effeminacy.
Some day we are going to be SC
effeminized on earth that we are go
ing to settle disputes without fight
ing.

THE SOCIALISTS IN GERMANY.

Virtually the only political party
in Germany that Americans know
about from newspaper reading are the
the Socialists. OF the six or seven
other parties in the kaiser's domain
nothing much is ever known outside
of the central powers.
And at present, in the midst of war,
the Socialist party of Germany is
more prominent than ever before. TO
them, it seems, is given the possibil-
ity of forcing their rulers to consider
terms of peace. The power Of the
Socialists in Germany is trcmen-
dous they comprise the strongest
single party and the only way to de-
feat them in the reichstag is to COM
bine other parties. When aligned
with the strike fever, as seems a fact,
| nothing inside the Germanic empires
is so likely to bring the rulers to
their senses.
It is undoubted that the Socialists
in Germany are working for democ-
racy. They cannot go about it in an
open manner; but by following the
| principles of opposition to central
lied power and keeping up contin-
ual propaganda for curtailment of the
privileges of junkerdom and the arts
tocracy, they are indeed aiding the
democratic nations working toward
! the same ends with the sword.

Brigadier General James Parker,
United States army, who becomes act
ing commander of the department of
the South with the departure of Gen.
eral Pershing, is a noted veteran of
the Indian war. For a decade OF
more after graduating from West
Point in 1876 he was in active service
in the Indian campaigns, beginning
with the Mexican border disturbances
in 1878 and followed by the Ute cam
paign in Colorado and the Geronimo
Apache war in Arizona. In the war
with Spain he served as lieutenant
colonel Of New York regiment of
volunteers. During the first years
of the American occupation of the
Philippines he was prominent in en-
forcing the authority Of the United
States; and he was congressional
recognition and medal of honor for his
conduct.

Don't make the mistake of thinking
that the war in which the United
States is now engaged is a war of the
entente allied nations against the
German autocracy alone. 1t is onr
war-your war.
II Germany should conquer, the
United States would be invaded by
the Prussian warriors as sure as the
night follows day.
And if the United States were not
prepared, your country, Your family,
you, would likely suffer the fate of
Belgium, the Belgian women and
children, and the Belgian men.
And the awful story of the atroci-
ties perpetrated by the Prussians in
Belgium is not half told Every now
and then there tricllles through news
that indicates the brutality of the
nothing is sacred.
How the German soldiers carried
off women in their retreat from
Laon, and outraged others, was told
in recent dispatch. Do you want
your women to be subjected to such
danger?
Another report tells of the Prus-
slams utilizing the bodies of their
own dead. They have erected huge
plants behind their battle lines, and
in these fats and oils for the manu-
facture of munitions and soap are
derived from the corpses of men who
fell battle for the Fatherland. The
residue is used for fertilizer.
Invasion by boards of these tribes
men will be the fate of the United
States unless Prussian autocracy is
now crushed-once and for all.
The war, in all it's ferocity, will
come to you unless you now do your
part-enlist, help provide the funds
for the war, aid in caring for the men
at the front, and do your "bit" al
home to keep "business moving" that
the prosperity of the nation be not
affected.
Which shall it be-: Honor, OF
shame and suffering?
