Heart Of Pam German Conspiracy
Of World Conquest
Whole Scheme Of Pssian Dominion Based Upon Absolute
Control Of Middle Europe From Hamburg to Bagdad
BY HARRY PRATT JUDSON President Of University Of Chicago

The pan-German plot to dominate
the world. has been worked out with
characteristic German thoroughness.
There is no land on the globe in which
the web of intrigue has not been WOW
en-. Every country has it's place In the
scheme and is expected to fall into its
place at the proper time and in the
proper way. Bribery at one point, flat
terry at another, the dexterous use of
innocent Missionaries, the careful en-
couragement of dissensions every
where, the Industrious dissemination of
falsehoods tending to embroil nations
with one another, class with class, and
all to weaken and demoralize any peo-
pies who might by union become
strong-this sort of thing for years has
been going on in the hands of German
agents everywhere.
The progress of the world implies
the growth of good will and mutual
helpfulness wherever men make their
homes. Pan-German intrigue foments

The village concert was in progress,
and although all the local talent was
mustered, Johnny. the squirc's son and
heir, was bored, badly bored.
His mother grew anxious about him
but when small girl started piping
''The Minstrel Boy" and reached the
line, "Hs fathers sword he has girded
on" Johnny fairly pricked up his ears
in excitement.

WASH THE KIDNEYS!

All the blood in the body passes thru
the kidneys every few minutes. This Is
why the kidneys play such an important
role In health or disease. BY some mys-
FERROUS process the kidney selects what
ought to come out of the blood and
takes it out. If the kidneys are not
good-workmen and become congested-
poisonS accumulate and we suffer from
0ackache, headache, lumbago, rheu-
matism or govt. The urine is often
cloudy, full of sediment; channels often
get sore and sleep is disturbed at night.
so II is that DR.. Pierce, of the Invallds'
Hotel and Surgical Institute i'm Buffalo.

by drinking six to eight glasses of water
between meals and then if you want

ciear the channels and cure the annoy

This "AnuricI" which is so many times
more potent than lithia-will drive out

distrust and i'll will seeks out all the
discordant elements of life with tire
less malevolence. German agents are
found stirring up anti-British senti-
ment In India and South Africa and
Ireland; anti-American sentiment In
Mexico and Colombia, i'm Argentina and
Chile; animosity against the whites
among southern negroes; dislike of
japan In America and dislike of Amer

Hamburg to Bagdad.
But the basis of the whole scheme Of
Prussian world dominion is absolute
German control from Hamburg to Bag
dad. This implies a fortress in the
center of Europe, from which light
ming blows can be struck in all direc-
lions. 1t implies an intrenched posi-
ton on the North sea, on the Baltic,
on the Adriatic, on the Aegean, on the
Black sea and the Straits, on the Med
iterranean and the Persian gulf. 1t
implies domination, political, military
and economic, of the Balkan peninsula,
with all its rich lands, of the Suez
canal and Egypt. 1t means the domi-
nation of Asia and Africa. 1t means
as Napoleon said, Constantinople, the
empire of the world. There might be
the simulacrum of an alliance with
Turkey and Bulgaria, Serbia, and
Greece. But, throughout all, Germany
would everywhere absolutely control,
for German political power and for the
development of German capital and
German industry. For all practical
purposes 1t would be German empire
from the Baltic to the Persian gulf.
But in order to carry out this vast
scheme, grandiose as 1t may appear,
but quite real and definite, as IL Is in
point of fact, the first condition, with
out which all would fall to pieces like
house of cards, is to secure complete
control by Germany over the dual mon
archy, Austria-Hungary. The alliance
at present and for so many years In
force must he exchanged for a much
closer relation, one which. whatever its
form, will mean that Germany has the
final voice in every essential question.
AS In the German empire under the
guise of federation ii Is In the last
analysis Prussia which determines all
essential policies, so in the new Mittei
Europa, 1t will be Germany, in other
words Prussia. which will really gov
ern. Whatever the outward semblaDce
of things, I'm fact Austria and Hungary
will then cease to be Independent. The
German kaiser will make the Prussian
will supreme throughout. The reasons
for this German middle Europe plan
will appear later.
