THREE GERMAN CAMPAIGNS

Germany's first campaign was based on overwhelming
force suddenly exerted before a world lulled TO sleep
could prepare to meet it. When through the indomltable
bravery of the Belgians whose defense gave the french
a chance to gather and repel the German hordes this plan
failed a second campaign was started, one in which ruth
less destruction of life and property would strike terror
to the hearts of all mankind. This was used on all oc-
.cssions on land, and the sinking Of the Llsltanla and other
passenger ships with no attempt made to rescue any OF
the helpless survivors was part Of the effort through ter
ror,.to drive all nations from the seas. The destruction
of the cathedral of Rheims and other priceless examples
of medieval art were sacrifices upon this same altar.
Now that this has failed the third and last card is being
PLAYED. 1t is a campaign Of lies and deceit calculated to
set the allied nations against each other and thus cause
their destruction just as has been done In the case OF
Russia. This, too, will fail, for the allies are perfectly
aware of the attempt and OF the manner IN winch II is
tried to be carried out.
Besides the German propagandists are not now deal
ing with a lot Of uneducated slavs just freed from serf-
dom, but with the most highly civilized and intelligent
people in the world. These understand the PruSslan
game, the trickery, the lies, and cannot be deceived or
misled thereby. For this reason the third campaign of
the Hohenzollern robbers will fail. In the meanwhile to
back the campaign Of lies, the father of them, the kaiser,
has assembled every ounce of his force for the purpose
of hammering his way through the opposing forces and
march to Paris. In this he will also fail, and after that
it is only a question of time. Bad as is the trickery and
lies told in the attempt to sever the friendship OF the
allies it is snow white compared to the baseless false
hoods told the German people by their leaders in order
to encourage them to still greater sacrifices. They are
told Americans have weakened and quit, that the allies
are already whipped and are almost ready to sue for
peace. They are told that starvation stalks through
England and rance, and that all that is required to
win is just a little more patience. And these are the
stories told the German people, and the German soldiers
are told the same to induce them to again and still again
hurl themselves against the allied ranks, they believing
they will meet with little or no resistance. The greatest
crimes the Emperor Of Germany ard the militarists will
have to answer for are those against his and their own
people.

You must reach the cause of the dis.

This is the logical treatment, and it
has proven its great worth in hun
of cases because it is a purely
vegetable remedy and cleanses the

It Aims at
Union Labor Rights

Sacramento, Cal, April 9.-That the
third count of the blanket Indictment
of fifty-five 1. W. w. members, which
charges them with conspiring against
the laws and war work of the govern
ment by melting and aiding industrial
strikes, is a direct blow at the key
stone of trade unionism in America,
the right to strike, was the assertion
made by Attorney Nathan Coghlan to-
day in arguing a demurrer to the in
dictment before United States District
Judge Van Fleet. The demurrer was
overruled.
"The language of that count inn

not intended as a challenge to the
of labor to strike.

The realities of the wal were brought
home to the large audience that filled
the armory last evening when Private
Burke thus told of one of his exper-
fences as a German prisoner.
One of the men gassed at Ypres, he
with 1S8 other Canadians was taken
prisoner and subjected to inhumane
treatment. An officers wrist was cut
with a bayonet when a German officer
robbed him of his watch, soldiers weak
ened from the gas were knocked down;
men were packed in box cars like cat
tie, and officers stabbed when too weak
to rise and salute; these were com
mon experiences related by Mr.. Burke.

he asked for water, called f'English

butt of a rifle, when he was too weak
to work-these were his own experiences
while a prisoner of war and entitled to
civil treatment. He told of hundreds of
men gassed who were obliged to work in
coke ovens, resulting in their death
within a few weeks, and of how they
were fed ON the flesh of wounded and
sick horses.
Private Burke managed to escape into
Holland, where he was well taken care
of and later sent to England, where he
saw the Belgian children whose arms
and legs had been cut off by German
soldiers. In all his IS months experience
in Germany, he said he failed to find
a decent German.
Sergeant Major Christy, also a Can
adian soldier, spoke of his experiences
wherein his company of $50 were or
dered to take a German post. "We took
it all right" said Major Christy. "but
only "a of us came back uniniured.'

George danced the first dance with
me. l was perfectly delighted that he
did so, and terribly surprised. Why L
should have been-knowing it was the
proper thing for him to dol don't
know. He danced wonderfully and was
very gay and complimentary.
"Your dinner was very good in
deed" he said as we glided round the
room, "and your decorations were
quaint and unusual. I am not only pleas
ed, but surprised with the taste and
good judgment you have shown"
"Oh, l am so glad you are pleasedi"
II returned, happily, as 1 gave his arm
a little squeeze. He little imagined how
his praise affected me. 1 had been so
anxious, so afraid something might hap
pen to offend his taste, or him, that I
had scarcely breathed naturally all the
evening. But now l gave myself up to

I danced with every one of the men
once; with George and Merton Gray
twice. And as much as I liked Merton,
as comfortable as L was with him, I
was happier when dancing with George.

Lawson gushed, as they were putting IN
their wraps to leave.

ono, indeed! I am too happy that
you all like him. 1t would be awful #

and talking, they all left just as the
clock struck two, leaving George and
me alone-I, tired, but very happy.

ECZEMA is called a skin disease be-
cause the tiny little germs which
aus the disease set up their colony
on some portion of the skins surface,
and here spread their irritation that
oon begins to burn like flames of

There are other forms of so-called
diseases of skin, such as letter, boils,
pimples, acne, erysipelas, scaly erup-
tions, blotches and rough irritations,
that are a source of much pain and
annoyance.
And, while these disorders are gen.
orally referred to as skin diseases,
they are really traceable to a disor-
dered condition of'the blood, and they
r never experienced by anyone
whose blood is free from impurities.
If you are a victim of any form Of

When the war is over, the Germans will be in the worst
shape of all nations in regard to merchant shipping.
While her submarines have sunk thousands of vessels be-
longing to other nations, these have kept building to make
good the losses. In Germany this has not been done and
the consequence will be that in order to again supply food
to her long starved people she will have to rely on the
shipping of those countries whose ships she has so ruth
lessly destroyed. While vindictiveness is not to be en-
couraged, the eternal fitness of mundane affairs would
suggest that Germany's citizenry be made to wait until
last to have their wants supplied. 1t would be quite in
keeping with the eternal principles of justice that those
who undertook to make the balance of the world go
hungry should be forced to take the dregs of the medicine
they have so generously prescribed.

DURING THE DINNER.
CHAPTER LXVIII.

The EXPLANATIONS of delight over the
place cards charmed me. l felt honored
that such an artist as Merton Gray had
devote his time to me. He treated the
matter very carlessly, yet l could not
blu recall what both Mrs. Sexton and
Madge Loring had said concerning him
that he was so expensive, his time so
valuable, he never had consented to do
anything of the sort before.
James served the dinner perfectly. L
watched George, and his expression
! showed that he was pleased Really, his
own dinner-his and Mrs. Sexton 's-had
not gone more smoothly. The food, too,
was perfectly cooked. Mary had taken
special pains with everything, and my
young guests enthused over each and
every course. I knew George would think
them undignified in this, yet 1 relished
the praise, and couldn't help being
glad he heard it. Even if they were
younger than his crowd, they were all
charming people, and of the best fam
lilies in Moreland.
George was lovely to the twins, June
and Jennie Lawson, and congratulated
Frank and Charleton in the incest way.
Even with all the excitement, 1 could
but wonder again why he acted as he
so often did, when he could be so
charming.
An Interruption.
About the middle of the dinner the
bell rang, and James brought in a tele-
gram to George. After exeusing himself,
he opened it, and a flash of annoyance
gone almost as soon as it came, swept
over his face.
What could it be? Surely he would
not allow anything to spoil my dinner
and the dance l had planned, after

ton, George crumpled the message into
his pocket, and continued his CONVEX
sation with Evelyn Reeves right where
it had been interrupted by the telegram.
Would I ever learn to have an iota of

But 1 soon forgot the interruption in
listening to Merton Gray's interesting
talk, and in watching that my guests
were properly served.

WHAT DOES HE MEAN?

Lloyd George a few days ago in a speech, made the
statement that within a couple of weeks "the Americans
Iwould give the Germans the surprise of their lives" His
remark has set those who noticed il to wondering what
he could mean. The American army is not large enough
In France to give any great surprise to the enemy there,
nor is the air service in such shape that it would justify
such a statement as the premier made. These must be
eliminated and this leaves only the sea as the place where
the surprise, If any, may be staged. If there what is its
nature? 1t is not only possible but probable that what
ever 1t is is connected in some way with the submarine
activities, and it may mean that some of the things hoped
for in this connection have matured. In this connection
it should be remembered that Edison some months ago
made the assertion that: every incougruous element
is now under control" What he meant has never been
explained, but it is possible Lloyd George is limiting that
the explanation is to be made public soon.
Some of the business men gathered at Chicago in at
tendance on the meeting of the national chamber of COM
merce, yesterday, ventured the opinion that the war
would last ten years yet. This is an apt illustration of
the fact that some folks talk entirely too much. General
Wood expressed the same idea, but he only still further
the fact. The man power Of the world would
be exhausted and so would the money power long before
that time. Germany is stalking her all on a single throw
of the dice, and if she loses the present battle it will not
be long before she will be compelled to give it up. Her
people at home have been buoyed up with false promises,
and when the drive which was to see the commander of
their armies dining in Paris ten days ago, is known to be
a failure the beginning of the end will be at hand.

ON WHAT BASIS OF
REPRESENTATION
Democratic State Convention Call
Gives Carter County Only
20 Delegates.

According to Oklahoma City pa
pers Carter county will he entitled
to 20 delegates in the state demo-
cratic convention, Sept. n, On what
basis this is figured is not definitely
known. but it is understood that
the basis OF representation is one
delegate for each 100 democratic
votes cast at the August primary.
The press reports give Oklahoma
county so delegates, but she cast on
lv 5.l49 votes. Carter county cast
4,00S; Tulsa county, S.l7+, and Mus
kogee county $500, according to
so-called official returns printed in
the Oklahoman on August 20.
Ii the ratio is one delegate to
each 100 votes, Carter county would
be entitled to 40 delegates and Okla
homa county 81.
