GERMANY WITHOUT A FRIEND
(Ketchikan Miner)

Today it may be truly said that Germany is country without friend among the nations of the world Not Austria Bulgaria or any other country be said to be her friends, although her allies. There might have been friendship at the out break of the but if there was it induced by the high expectation of aggrandizement Territory but today that great hope has completely vanished due to the defeat of the Kasers army. Defeat it is if we consider that Germany confident that she could beat France and England. How miseraby she failed is today a matter of history. Subsequently Germany became desperate and like mad dog, bit at nonensive nations until with spunk than the rest, stepped in This put the "kibosh" all the hope of the Central Powers, including Ger many. But since the latter was the incter she is bound to show determinaton; whereas, her allies find some excuses to withdraw which all appear. ances are ready and anxious do repentent they ever bit at that imbecile. degenerate Wilhelms bait But they have themselves to blame besides the Kaiser.

Washingtons spirit is much alive today as when it radated from his living presence to encour- age the ragged Continental soldiers against foreign aggression. The fires of his splendid patriotism burn brightly in the American home life. It is giving courage to the soldiers facing death in the trenches It penetrates through the dark clouds of auto cratic marism kinde sparks of ambition and hope for wider freedom among the shackled vic tins. Wherever one or two gather together in the of humanity and freedom, the world over, there breathes the spirit of the Father of Our Country. No wonder Americans the name No wonder they place Washington above all other American pa trots.
