any doubt as to what the German in
tentions were. Germany has an
nounced in a thousand ways that moth
ing less than undisputed domination
over the world and the people thereof
would satisfy her rulers and her Deo-
pie. In the early days Of the war the
Inouthpieces Of the German Empire
openly stated their Intentions, and
these were nothing less than world
empire for the Germans.
Ages ago the German rulers estab-
lished themselves as robber barons
along the Rhine and in the mountain
passes. The German has always been
brigand among European peoples.
The Germans Of 1914 were merely fol-
lowing in the trails Of the first OF the
Germans, but they expected to prey
upon the worlds highways instead of
along the roads of Europe.
Go back over the war and we can
see that every move that Germany has
made has been directed by greed
Every blow was directed at some cen
ter of wealth. Every drive Of Won
Mackensen, OF Won Ludendorff, OF Won
Hindenburg has been planned with an
eye to the material advantages as well
as strategical advantages. Every lime
The Germans swept across a new ma
tional boundary 1t was into some ter.
ritory rich in industry, or rich in oil,
uetals or agricultural products.
Eye on America.
How the German armies and their
commanders would have reveled in an
invasion OF the valleys Of America!
How they would have gloated over the
great Industrial districts of the East,
Of New England, New York or Penn
sylvania! How they would have en-.
thused over the regions Of the corn
belt, the center of the worlds food
production. They knew all about these
: regions The invasions were contem-
plated Doubtless July is, 1918, when
The Germans were still marching on
Paris, they were then preparing to
smash England at a next mighty blow
and swing the whole Of their mighty
fleets and armies across the Atlantic
and carry the war directly into the
: heart of America With America out
of the way would have begun the Ger
man Rule of the World.

France, to the iron of North France
