the car and had gone over to the mesa

EVERY citizen of the United
States should read 1.-The
Spokane speech by James w.
Gerard. His four years in
Germany as American am
bassador atyBerlin have given
him unusual opportunities to
learn the attitude of the
German nation toward
humanity, toward the world
and especially toward Ameri-
ca. He corroborates state
ments by others and relates
incidents coinciding with
recent sensational diplomatic
disclosures going to show that
Prussian ambition under the
autocratlc rule OF the kaiser
has been for years to conquer
Europe and then to use the
new accession of power to
conquer North and South
America. This ambition,
voiced in German threats and
predictions long before the
war and evidenced in the
centering of every national
energy in making Prussian
military power supreme in
Europe, is the thing that
makes German defeat neces-
sary in this war if all the rest
of the world is to continue tc
be free from Prussian domi-
nation.
The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1917-09-28
Bayvlew

This small but pleasant village of
Northern Idaho sits overlooking Lake
Pend d'Oreille from the slope and
foot OF a high hill. From her posi-
ton on the slope Bayview looks far
and wide across to the rugged NOM
tains. Over to the east one may
watch the sun gradually sink behind
the hills, and see the shadow of the
mountains In the water.
In winter Bayview Is cold and un.
desirable. Bleak winds come from
over the icy water and the snow falls
in white sheets until the mountains
are white and the roads cannot be
followed. But when spring comes
the ice melts. the blue water reappears
and the fisherman bats his hook for
whiteflsh. Later campers 10 their
cars -FOUR in aud pitch their- tents 10
cosy places on the lake side. Young
people return from school to vacations
while the water once more rings with
their happy laughter, and floats their
canoes. 1t Is beautiful to listen to
their songs 10 the evening, or TO hear
the dance music as 1t floats out over
he water. But when autumn comes
this town begins to lose its charm
and beauty, for Natures carpet OF
white is soon to spread again.
AS the years wear on business
10 Rayview slowly increases. More
workers come in on its one railroad
soon To drift out again, probably on
the steamer as IL pushes its way
eastward. A blast coming from the
lime works on the hill often startles
the village from its doing condition,
and many windows show the result,
of the rocks that are blown down Ii
countless numbers. AT noon thu
town comes to life when, hot aut
greasy, the workers from the min,
tile into the boarding house to devoul
the plain food set before them, afte
washing part OF the dirt from thei
unShaven faces.

A Few Excerpts.

From the speech by Judge Gerard,
former American ambassador to
Germany:
''In October, 1915, / saw the
kaiser, and be stood with bis face a
few inches from mine, and be said, Il
shall stand no nonsense from
America after this war. America had
better look out after this war;"
"Von TirpitZ, who has imposed his
policy on the Germans 10 this
submarine war, came out openly and
said, We must hold the coast Of
Flanders in order to make war on
England and America He came out
10 an interview In the most conserva-
tive paper In Germany and said:
1--WE will through this submarine war
bring the English to their knees, and
before making peace with them we
will take their fleet. we will add the
English fleet to our fleet and we will
sail with the combined fleet for
America and we will make these fat,
cowardB money. grubbers pay the
eutire expense OF the war;"
'We do not fear this war. Any
nation that fears war won't keep its
liberty long. We are sending out our
young men, and some of them have
got TO die in Europe. And that
reminds me that some people say,
Why are we fighting this war in
Europe? Why don't we simply
iefend ourselves in American Well,
II you see man across the street who
with two men on his side, is fighting
with two or three other people, and
he calls out to you and says, Wait
until / finish with these people and
then | am coming over to 20 after
YOU don't you think it is the part OF
the most ordinary prudence to CTS,
the street and take hand while you
have got somebody else with YOU"
THE Germans have no liberty.
Their voting is sham The reichs.

because over the reichstag stands the

which is appointed by the ruling
princes of Germany. and they are no,
