Political Affairs Brewing.
Political affairs in Germany are
again seething with the return of the
emperor to Berlin. All parties seem
determined that Chancellor Michaelis
must go. 1t is hardly probable that
the emperor will oppose this agitation
long. Whether or not another Prus-
sian bureaucrat will be appointed, it
IS not clear. Some leaders favor

believe that America nevef would

continued, land that any transgres-
SION of our rights would be met SIM
ply by protests"
Had America submitted and kept
her ships off the seas, discord and dis
content among American people would
have followed, Mr.. McAdoo said, and
the German emperor by one stroke
of his pen would have accomplished
"more destruction upon American
farms, in American factories and in
American business houses and to Am
erlcan interests all over this land than
he could accomplish with all the arm
les and navies of the German empire y
After telling what stoppage of Am
erica sea commerce would have meant
in loss to cotton growers of the south,
and of Germany's efforts to involve
the United States with Japan and
Mexico through the Zimmerman in
trigue. the secretary turned to ruth
less submarine warfare, and reclted
the stories of helpless men and wom-
en- being drowned at sea.
America Justifd in Entering War.
Some man has said, OF" is alleged
to have said, that America had no
justifca ton for this war with Ger
many" the secretary declared. If
there be an American or any man IN
this land, whether he is an American
or not. who knowing this record, says
that we did not have justification for
war with Germany, then yellow blood
flows in his vens-he hasn't any red
blood in him."
Mr.. McAdoo denounced those indiv-
iduals who would make peace with the
kaissr's government and the "allegeC
peace societies" in this country. The
latter are merely German wolves
masuuerading in the hides of Amer
lean traitors he declared, while some
OF the former are deluded and simpl.
raople and ''some are in the pay OF
the kaiser"
The Soldiers Part The Hard One.
The secretary, who has completed
a tour through the west and south
west in the interest of the liberty
loan said his trip had convinced him
that America is awake to the fact that
this country is waging war for self
preservation and knows that when the
struggle is carried to successf' con-
clusion the liberty of the United States
will never be imperilled again.
After describing the liberty bond
which the government is selling as
having the entire country's guarantee
of safety of the principal-the money
invested in it, the secretary added
''but America cannot assure her sol
diers of their principal-their lives
''The soldier does not ask the gov.
ernment to guarantee him safety,
said Mr.. McAdoo. "He expects to die
if necessary, but he has right to ash
the civilian population to do this much
for him-to arm him with the best
gun that American money and Amer
lean ingenuity can devise, gun that
will shoot faster and farther than any
gun vet made, and give him the best

aimed at the prosperity of American

retary McAdoo declared in his liberty
day address here today.
After reminding his hearers that
America went to war in 1912 to vim
dicate her right to freedom of the seas
and had steadfastly maintained it
since then, he continued:
Why is that right so essential to
Americas life and security? 1t is
because we have always produced

and to officially receive and distribute ON behalf of the
Government all moneys and supplies required to relieve
communities overwhelmed by disaster and to cooperate
through its base hospitals and other military units with
the army and navy.
The machinery of the Society interlocks closely with
that Of the Government The president of the Society
the President Of the United States; it's treasurer is the
federal comptroller Of currency the war department
auds Hs accounts; the surgeon general Of the United
States medical corps and admiral Of the navy head its
committees naval and military relief
In time Of war the Government takes over the
equipment and personnel organized by the society and
every physician, and officer on its roll is auto
matcally given proper military rank.
&c. you see II is not mere incidental piece Of relief
machinery which the American Red Cross is building.
Twenty-Five movable base hospitals, each of them
capable Of providing for the needs Of an army division
Of twenty thousand men, have been organized during the
past twelve months Five have been provided for the
nEvy The equipment for these hospitals costing some
thing like thrty-one thousand dollars each has been
provided and stored in orderly fashion, where it is in

26l surgeons, pharmacists dentists nurses assistant
nurses sretnher bearers oeres clerks hospital cooks
carpenters etc. has been drawn from the strongest hos
pitfalls and Red Cross chapters in twenty-five of our great
American cities and for period Of two years is pledged
