Although Germany, while yet
! friend" intrigued against our peace
and order, urged Japan and Mexico to
make war on us, and murdered our
men. women and children, there are
those among us processing loyalty ana
intelligence who practically say this IL
not our war and appear unable to real
ize that the defeat of the boche is as
vital to us Americans as was the VIC
tory OF 177G.
Then we declared for independence
now we fight to maintain it.
1t is not merely that we fight in
answer to indicnity and material in
Jury done us through attack on our
rights as nation and on the lives
of our citizens-nOt merely to uphold
our place among self-respecting peo-
nles-that we are at war; but literally
for our self preservation as republic.
To muzzle this war-mad wild beast
we have taken up armS-that the
world shall be safe for the freemen Of
the world
The world cannot rest in peace while
Germany holds the destiny of other
peoples in her blood-dripping hands.
The world cannot live in peace with
Il people that commits, or permits her
sponsors to commit in her name, the
foul acts of treachery, of vandalism,
of bestiality, of murder, that have
marked the trail of the German army
over Europe
One doctrine or the other must pre-
vail either the German brutal right of
might or the civilized might of right
one or the other-must succumb In this
conflict to the death. And should 1t
be the German doctrine-then shall we
fall under the domination of a people
that have robbed and raped and looted
and burned and killed, that the
"kultur" Of a military oligarchy shall
live.
PrUSSianlSm is devoid OF nOnOr,
truth, justice or mercy, as its own acts
have proved. ard its defeat is a neces-
sary first step for the peace of the
world and he freedom Of civilization.
For the safety Of American i.Stitu
tons it must be destroyed: for the
safety of American freedom, yours and
mine and of all Of US.
We are in the midst OF war, our war
the war of every freeman, OF ever
man and woman who does not indorse
cowardly murderous assault upon tie
weak and innocent, brutal injustice,
and atrocious acts; and if we would
preserve the Stars and Stripes and AL
they stand for we must fight the Huns.
abroad and the p;:cifists at home with
all our strength.

WHAT THE VICTORY OIL
DEFEAT OF GERMANY
MEANS TO EVERY AMERICAN

Contributed by ALBERT PAISON
TERHUNE, author and globe-trottcr
to the National Security Leagues
campaign of Patriotism Through Edu-
cation)
Germanys victory would meaE al!
that the alarmists have said the set
back of humanity, democracy. civilila-
ton, rights of man. etc. But, 10 Amer
lea, it would mean,iniinitely more.
1t would mean our first rational de
feat; and, thus, would smash our per
feet record for victories-a record as
old as our nation-a record that means
more than the right to brag. Even as
beaten army never wholly reglins its
old form-even as beaten ring cham
pion sinks at once into desuetude-So
our nation tits traditions of victory
gomez would suffer far worse deteriora-
ton than the mere fact of defeat could
inflict.
1t would mean that the man who has
risked all in his country's struggle for
Right could never again feel his former
calm certainty that Right must tri-
uxnph. Thus, the moral tone Of the in
dividual, as well as of the nation,
would inevitably be lowered.
This country has never embarked in
a war Of conquest. From 1875 to the
present we have fought for Liberty or
for Union or for the Oppressed-ever
for some sterling principle of right.
From childhood we have been taught
TO believe that the high unselfishness
Of our war aims has given us the vic
tory. We have seen the decay or de-
struction Of men and nations that have
battled for dominiOn-as Germany is
now battling. Should we fail In this,
our mghtiest war for the Right, the
average man must lose forever the
simple Faith which has led our dear
country from nothingness to its pres
ent estate For that Faith, more than
for anything else, our sacrifice Is a
hundredfold justified.

Answer-The greatest delusion is
that today's dinner does today's
work. People confuse the sense of
well being, which is really stimula
ton. that follows Immediately after
a full meal, with the energy which
that meal really supplies to the
body, energy which is not available
for work until many hours after
the meal-next day or day after. It
is difficult enough to break up the
mere habit of eating three times
day, and still more difficult to avoid
the panic of anxiety and fear OF
starvation that steals over you an
hour or two after the first meal is
skipped. But be of good cheer. for
your superfluous fat is your store
of energy. and it will supply all
you can possibly require while you
are jollying yourself along with the
K.arell regimen. We speak with the
calm assurance of a man who has
but just dined both wisely and well,
but we are giving you the scien-
tific facts, corroborated by thor
oughly conclusive experience. You
can Karell and work at the same
time if you will. 1t is mere ques-
ton of psychology.

Who Shall Give the Health Ceriifi.
cafe!

When the state of Wisconsin first
attempted to put in force the law
requiring health certificates from
candidates for matrimony the poll
tician managed to hang a joker on
the law fixing the fee of the doe
tor for such certificate at some RI
diculous stipend like So. No lab
oratory technician will make a
blood test for syphilis for less than
that Therefore the doctors were
expected to dnoate their services at
a loss. So the law didn't pan out
well. The Wisconsin legislature
merely made Wisconsin look ri
diculous.
But supposing the doctor is rea-
sonably compensated for his profess
sional service, is he in position
to give a certificate of freedom
from communicable disease? Not
always.
Why, there are lots of doctors
enjoying large practices and bear
ing fine regulations, yet possessing
no microscope and unable to make
the necessary tests for such d GER
tifcate There are lots more who
have the best of microscopes and
are quite capable of making any
necessary meteorological examina-
lions, yet they have not the skill to
determine the presence of latent or
smouldering gonorrhea when the
man wishes to conceal the fact of
his infection
If the bridegroom health GER
tificate is TO become the defense of
the family we hope for, there is no
way out of the difficulty but to
have competent specialists in each
community appointed to issue such
certificates. Not appointed in the
loose and indiscriminate way that

members of draft boards are APP
