all but came true for little time,
even as Earth measures time. And
last of these troublers Of the earth
and breakers Of the worlds peace is
William Hohenzollern, Wilhelm II. of
Prussia and Of Germany. He visioned
all of the earth and Its seven seas
ruled by Prussia of theDPrussians.
The stiff-necked Prussian would
have been the drillmaster of the
world. The gutteral tongue OF the
German would have been the worlds
speech. A great Mittel-Europa, Ger
man to the core, would have stretched
down across Southeastern Europe to
the warm waters of the Persian Gulf
South America would have become
rev Germany. The Germanic areas
OF America would have formed the
nucleus OF New Prussia that would
have arisen on the, ruins of what had
once been the United States.

But the dream is fading. The AFRO
gance of the Prussian overreached
and brought America into the war be-
fore the Prussian could dispose of his
European rivals. Before all of Europe
was broken and bloody under the
heels of Potsdam, the last of the great
neutrals swung into line against him
And while America was arming her
dollars were fighting the Prussian.
The First Liberty Loan was freely OF
fered to the weakened treasures of
our allies. While we gathered and
trained the man-power of America
that is beginning to tear its way into
the German Empire we were making

and the Fourth Loan is shaping the
battering ram that will rive open the
very gates of the German Empire.

Like the Other Hun.
The Kaiser's, dream is going the way
that went the dream Of Tamerlane, of
Caesar, of Napoleon and of that ether
Hun, Attla. Its going will be has
tened by the avalanche of American
dollars pouring into the Fourth Loan.
Better than anyone else the Huns
can realize the strength of the nation
that is so readily and so powerfully
backing UP the greatest military and
naval program that is under way in
the world today. For they know how
nearly the war chest of Germany has
been scraped, how hard 1t will be to
raise the next German loan in coun-
try that hears the guns Of the Allies,
coming nearer and nearer.
The German troops have fought for
four years They now face fresh, Wig
orous, unwearied Americans schoolcd

every trick Of the war game. The Ger
man people have been subscribing to
war loans for four years. They are
pitting their marks" against an ava
lanche, a veritable golden flood OF
American dollars. Only those in the
seats of the mighty in Germany know
what this combat means to Hunland
