AALEEICA'S TASK

When the United States entered the war, early in April, it seemed that the overthrow of Germany was but short time off and that A merica would not have to bear any heavy brunt of the war.
 But the situation, with Russia helpless, torn by internal strife which has followed the downfall of the czar, has greatly changed since April 8, Germany has been able to wghJraw troops from the eastern from and thus strengthen her western lines which were being push ed back and broken by the French and British troops.

CALLED THEM INDIANS.
How the Red Men of This Country
 Came to Get That Name.

Came to Get [ hat Name.
 But" said the little girl who has now reached the dignity of owning geography, why did they call the peO- pie they found in this country Tndi- ansT The people who live in India ought to be called by that name."
 Now, that was very appropriate question for the little girl to ask. And the answer to the little girl and to any other little girls and boys who may be puzzled by the same thing Is that Co lumbus and his men didn't start out to discover America. They didn't, of course, know there was any America here. What they did believe was that the world was round and that by sail ing far enough they would come up on the other side. You all know now that what they believed is true, but in those days most people believed that the world was flat and that If ship sailed Iar enough out into the ocean it would fall of the edge.
 Columbus said that if he took a ship and sailed and sailed he would at last come to India. Now, India was very rich country, and for hundreds of years Europe had been trying to find m easier way to get there, so what Co lumbus said appealed to a good many merchants and traders, and Spain final ly fitted out some ships for Columbus.
 You all know that Columbus finally lid reach America, but he believed he had sailed clear around the world and had come to India from the other side, so he namel the people he found on the shore Indians" And after 1t was found that this was not India, but a new world. people went on calling the people Indians because that was as good a name as any for them, they thought.-KanSas City Star.

one. She is the strength On which the allies must now chiefly depend and low she performs the task will largely determine the outcome of ths war. As the Seattle Post-In- teIligencer says:
 Whatever our status six weeks ago, just now we are like raft to fae shipwrecked. It is America that must take Russia's place in the allied lines, it is America that must feed and finance Germany's enemies, and it is America that may oa op.iged to fight alone for civili- zatiou should the kaiser prevail O. yer it's defenders closer at home.
 Says Jules CambOn, director of the French foreign department: Mere and more 1t Is becoming ev- iGeu! that the future conduct of the war ;s going to depend upon Amer ica,' and MT. Cambon speaks the ab- solute truth, in the light of the rpesent situation. In the circum- stances there is need for congress to soft pedal oratory and get into action, and there is need to make use of every aggressive and defen- sive power of the government at the earliest moment"

THE GERMAN MENACE

Proof that Germany has been plotting against the United States fo7 more than nineteen years is said by the Michigan Tradesman to be given irretutably by the statements and writings of Germans themselves, The Tradesman says:
 "In 1898, at Manila, the German rear admiral, von Goetzen, a close frieud of the kaiser, said to the A ur.icau Admiral Dewey: In about fifteen years my country will begin a grea+ war, during which Germany vii absorb Holland, annex Bel gium, destroy France, cripple Russia humble England and subiugate the Uulred States
 ' some months after We have done our business in Europe we sha take New York and probably Wash iugtou, and we shall keep them for a fime. We do not intend to take auy territory from you, but only to put your country in it's proper place wi.h reference to Germany. We shall extract one or two billions os dollars from New York and other towns
 About fifteen years proved to be a close prophecy, because the kaiser started his long-Dlanned war cn civilization and democracy within fifteen years and fifteen n. u:Es after the German rear ad- miTal uttered his prediction to one of Americas greatest naval heroes.
 The Tradesman has long had in Is possession a series or books wri:teL by the different members of tns German general staff, describ- in how each one would proceed to 'suhjugate America. All of the books are addressed to the kaiser and state explicitly that they were written at the kaiser's request.
 "In the light of these positive printed proofs, furnished by German officers of the kaiser at the request Of the German ruIer-nO American citizen who has ordinary intelig- cree can fail to see that for more than nineteen years the kaiser has been planning to 'subjugate the U- nited States in his determination to with rhe cruel and tyrannical rule destroy democracy and substitute it Of Prussian imperialism"
