Seven German Counter
Attacks Fail, Haig SAYS

LONDON, oct. 24.-Violent German
counter-attacks against newly won Brit
ish and French positions around Houth-
houlst wood have been fruitless. Field
Marshal Haig reported today. One such
vigorous counter blow was launched by
the enemy yesterday at the point of
iuncture of the French and British lines.
1t was completely repulsed.
"Since Monday" Haig concluded,
seven counter attacks have been made,
and none have materially gained for the
enemy"

Kaiser Returns to Berlin to
Face Great Political Crisis
There

LONDON oct PA Wireless Press
message received today from Amster-
dam, asserted that Chancellor Michaelis
had placed his portfolio in the kais-
er's hands.
The Wireless Press story was not
confirmed from other sources.
The opposition to Chancellor Michael
is has been growing steadily during re-
cent months in Germany. 1t started
with the effort of the majority social
lists to obtain some definite statement
of .Germany's war aims and grew more
formidable when Michaelis evaded and
ducked the issue. 1t reached Crisis
when Michaelis and Admiral Won Capelle,
minister of marine, sprang the news Of
German mutiny in what socialists soon
saw was a trick to gain weapon by
which Michaelis and his junkerite sup
porters could crush liberalism in Ger
many.
Within. the last few weeks, Berlin re-
ports have indicated the mysterious
presence there of Prince Won Buelow
formerly chancellor and have coupled
his conferences with high officials with
the report that the chancellorship was
again offered to him.

In the blood.-How to tell.
New York, y. Yin a recent discourse
DR.. T.. Sauer, Boston physician who has
studied widely both in this country and in
great European medical institutions, said:
IF you were TO make an actual blood test on
all people who are ill you would probably be
greatly astonished at the exceedingly large
number who lack iron and who are ill for
no other reason than the lack of iron. The
moment iron is supplied all their multitude
of dangerous symptoms disappear. Without
iron the blood at loses the power to
change food into living tissue and therefore
nothing you eat does you any good; you don [
get the strength cut of it. Your food merely
passes through your system like through
a mill with the rollers wide apart that the
mill can't grind. As a result Of this con-
tinuous blood and nerve starvs tion. people be-
come generally weakened. nervous and all run
down and frequently develop all sorts Of con-
ditions. One Is too thin; another Is burdened
with unhealthy fat; weak they
can hardly walk: think they have dyS-
pepsia, kidney or liver trouble some cant
sleep OF night, others are sleepy and tired all
day; some fussy and irritable; some skinny
and bloodless, but all lack physical power and
endurance In such cases. IL is worse than
foolishness to take stimulating medicines or
narcotic drugs, which only whip mp your fag-
cling vital powers for the moment, maybe at
the expense of your life later on. No matter

OUR GERMAN NEWSPAPERS.
Manufacturers
Record.

While German immigration to this
country was of material proportions
the German language newspapers
served a patriotic purpose. They were
a medium through which the German
citizen was helped and welcomed to
American citizenship. Today their
situation is exactly reversed. The i'm
migration that supported them in the
past ceased a long time ago, and today
their very economic existence is de
pendent not upon their ability to
Americanize, but upon their ability to
prevent Americanization. To Hive
they must perpetuate standards,
ideals, sympathies and an allegiance
that are German and not American.
From day to day they go on sowing
tlat which ripens into discord and
treason and which, in their own Faith
erland, would bring them face to face
with firing squad.
We are an easy7going people and We
are glad that we are. But there are
limitations even to our patience. 1t
may be that We shall not suffer Sc
yerely for our laxity at this time, buc
should Germany ever invade our
shores our experience would be like
that of Rumania's. The Germans, as in
the case of Rumania, would know each
military move contemplated as soon
as we knew about it ourselves
Most of the readers of German
newspapers are loyal Americans. Why
not give them the news in the lang
uage of their citizenship, and let those
whose hearts are not with us get their
news as we'll as their instructions
from Berlin New York Tribune.

War against barbarous autocracy and

Lest we forget what? First of all,
the ruthless, unprovoked attack upon

Second. the wanton sinking of the
Lusitania.
Third, the fiendish treatment of the
French in regions from which the sol

Not to mention countless other instanc-
es of villany deliberately planned BY
commanders of the retreating forces

Especially does the torpedoing of the
Lusitania need to be kept in mind, be-
cause the German authorities have been
at such pains to insist that only by
the immediate use of the submarine

HOW THE AMERICANS WILL FIGHT

Guarded reports permitted to pass
by the British censor indicate tina
London hopes that the continual pres
sure on the German lines will result
in another strategic retreat" some
where near French and Belgian lines.
The British, it would appear, have
been able to force back the Germans
for limited distance without general
attack. The pressure was applied
southeast of Messines Ridge and forced
part of an offensive in which the Brit
ish army appears to be saving a great
deal of its strength. On seven-mile
front the British went forward for
over half mile and that without SER
ious fighting If the London reports
are based on correct information the
Germans will either retreat or there
will be fierce fighting along the Belg
ian lines. The British expect two i'm
portant German bases to be abandoned
In all the Allied and neutral coun
tries the military critics have express
ed surprise that the Germans have
made no serious counter-attacks to re-
cover the ground won so easily at Mes
sines Ridge and expressed belief that
the absence of such attack indicated a
lessening of the morale of the German
soldiers in the front trenches. There
are not, however, enough indication
to establish the conviction that the
! German soldiers are breaking down
either in courage or in efficiency. On
the other hand the British have massed
so much artillery and so many men
Iagainst the Germans close to the Belg-
ian border that either a general battle
Twill be fought or the Germans will re-
adjust their lines.
The tactics of the British are now so
we'll established that they hardly call
/, for discussion. These tactics embody
repeated attacks. now at one point in
the long line and now at another This
is the campaign that will be pursue
} through the summer and fall. 1t is the
campaign that the American troop
will take up next spring. There is no
hope of a general rolling up of the Ger
man lines There is the strongest con-
] viction among the Allies that the linz
can be thrown back by repeated thrusts
and that the German army can be pun
llished in terrible style and this is the
task of the Allies for the next eighteen
months.
i The last phase of the war will be the
bloodiest struggle that the world has
ever seen, the contest between leu
tonic courage and the dogged pluck Of
the Anglo-SaNon races The res;ii;
.lof this struggle for the next eighteer
months will shape and color the world

THE GERMAN STANDARD.

Americans as rule are inclined II
be more or less provincial in thei:
IDEAS along certain lines. While this
characteristic of our nation is natural
on account of circumstances which
have influenced us to think of other
nations and other races according to
our own standards of humanity, NOR
atty and civilization, the events Incl
dent to the present worldwar serve to
correct our error to a considerable ex
tent.
That the psychology of nations is q
thing to be seriously considered, is be-
ing more and more emphasized by the
history that is in the making every
minute of the day across the Atlantic
Our standards of thinking remain the
same, but the fact is being borne in
upon us that in dealing with the Ger
man people, we are coming in contact
with a nation whose ideals, codes OF
c.hics, morality and humanity are de-
cidedly different from our own.
One of the most comprehensive dis
oussion of this peculiarly vital ques-
ton is contained in a brief sketch from
the pen of Porter E. Brown of the Wig
ilantes," an organization of present day
writer's who have voluntarily set out to
arouse the American nation to fuller
realization of its responsibilities.
In concluding his discussion, the
writer says:
1T is for us now to remember, and
wildly, that all nations are not alike.
1t Is for us to remember yet more Wv
IDLY that among nations the most I'M
ioue and the most gone to all accepted
rules of reasoning is Germany.
Germany has frankly avowed her
self beyond all laws of mankind.
Her soldiers have crucified men
against harms. bayonets through their
bleeding hands and tortured feet.
Germany has slain and slaughtered
in cold blood; and she has slain not
only men but innocent women, an5
little babies.
Germany has used against her en-
emies the poisoned gas, that sends men
to their Maker in horrid, racking con-
WILSON'S, with froth upon their lips.
Germany has made slaves of con-
quered men and conquered women,
thing that has not been done by ma
ton in thousand years and more.
Germany has ravaged and ravished
Servia and Poland And she has used
the bones of her victims to make fer
tilizer for German fields.
Think of that, you Americans, AMI
cease thinking of Germany as an hon
orable foep1an.
Because she isn't.
