HOW GERMANY RULES
 CONQUERED COUNTRIES
WHAT AMERICA COULD EXPECT IF THE IMPROBABLE SHOULD HAPPEN AND THE KAISER WIN THE WAR.

Copies of the Journal de Geneve received at Washington show just what sort of a peace the Germans enforce on conquered people when they feel able to dictate to the con- quered.
 By cable from London and from the Geneva newspaper just mentioned it appears that among other terms forced by the Huns on the Rouman. ians, the whole male population from age IA to 60 is ubject to forced labor at the will of the Prussians. Under this decree Roumanian farmers have been required to work at long dis tances from their homes and for the sole benefit of the invaders.
 Officials here point out that Ameri- ca could expect no better terms from the Huns in case the fortunes of war should turn against this country and the Germans should dictate how we should make peace and manage our affairs.
 It would mean that farmer in Missouri might be required to leave his family and farm to get along as best they could while he was put on a train with thousands of others and taken to the passes of the Ale ghanies to build Qualifications for the Huns against any possible rebellion of Americans against their conquer ors
 The same tactics have been fol. lowed in Belgium, in Serbia, in Pc wherever the Germans have made themselves the masters. Rumanian elections have been dictated at bay onet points and people are not per mitted to pass from one part of the country to another without special permits that are very hard to ob- tain.
 It is this known history and these known traits of the German character that make the most telling arguments fc subscriptions to the Fourth Lib osfy Loan. It is only by subscribing the full loan that we are able to maintain armies and keep up the fight and it is only by creating an army to smash the Hun forever that we can absolutely assure ourselves that this country will not undergo the fate of Belgium or Roumania or Northern France.
 If there were enough slackers among the people of this country 1t would only be a question or time until we were in the same condition as Roumania The world opinion Is firm that Germany has set out to make itself master of the world.

 Good for you" said his old friend.
 'T've got some trophies, too. I've got medals for the half mile, the mile and the five mile races; two silver cups for swimming, a marble clock and more cups for cycling, and two or three belts for boxing and wrestl- ing"
 His old friend stared at him in amazement "Shure,' he gasper, its the champion athlete you are entoire- ly"

A son of former president of the

Another son of this same former president sleeps on the sac red soil of France, where he perished in the glory of combat. A third son is convalescing in hospital over there, and a fourth son is on the firing line. Yet there is being plan. ned in this country big roundup for 30O,000 slackers.

GERMANY TERRORIZED BY AMERICAN FIGHTERS
REALIZE POWER OF PERSHING's ARMY, SAYS SENATOR LEWIS MILITARY HUMiLlATED - WAR TIDE TURNED BY AMERICANS

New York, Sept 21.-The smashing of the St. Mihiel salient by the Ameri can army has filled Germany with terror, and is the sure forerunner of an overthrow of the Prussian mili- tary domination of the erman peo- pie, according to an opinion express ed here today by Senator James Ham, ilton Lewis of Illinois, who has just returned from France and England
 The German rulers, Senator Lewis Germany have awakened to realiza- tion of the power of Gen. Pershing's troops, ''and the spirit of German monarchs and military captains has been shattered" by this knowledge.
 France and Great Britain, he added freely admit that the entrance of American fighters into the fray has turned the tide. Premier Clemenceau told him, he said, that Americas prowess was the salvation of the hour" while the British prime min- ister declared that "the influence of President Wilson and America upon the institutions of Britain and the spirit of her people was equivalent in itself to new British army"
 "The humiliation of the German military by the fresh troops of Amer ica has filled Germany with wonder and terror" the senator said. It
The courier-index., 1918-09-27

recognizes that if such can be the result of the first move of America with her first installment of troops, the millions who are waiting and who will soon be at Germany's doors mean destruction for the military hopes of Prussia
 German rulers see that this American surprise is the sure fore runner for the German people clean. ing their houses of the military mon. sters and establishing authority at Berlin of their own choice which will no longer deceive them of the truth of their military situation, nor inn poverish them to maintain a war of destruction of peaceful nations in order to give glory to military mas ters and kingships and principalities to select few"
 In these words Senator Lewis. per sonal envoy of the president to Great Britain, France and the battle front, summed up the kaleidescopic changes in Germany's morale wrought by Americas answer, through the crusaders under Pershing.
 Senator Lewis, who escaped death and whose return was delayed when the transport Mount Vernon was tor pedoed 200 miles off the French coast while he was aboard, was en- thusiastic over the manner in which American troops are acquitting them selves in the face of the enemy.
 The presidents spokesman in the senate saw the rulers of some of our allies and the commanding generals of the armies at the front. Facts of transcendent importance were reveal ed to him. One of the things he learned, he said, was that the nerve and confidence of the German people are crumbling through the fear in spired by the indomitability of the American fighting men.
