Newport, r. I. Friday MAY 81, 1918.
Dear Editor and readers:-It pleas
90 me very much 10 have the oppor-
tunity to speak few words in re-
CARDS to the U. S. Navy. 1t is only
natural thas | speak OF the navy, for
this is the line OF service in which i
am engaged in this great struggle
for peace. am located at the U S.
Naval Training Station. New Port,
Rhode Island. ln the navy there is
great need for trained men. Your
success as a man-O' wars man de-
ponds largely on your ability to do
your work just little bit better
than the other fellow. Then, higher
rating, promotion and better pay
quickly follow. There are greater
opportunities in the Navy to-day
than ever before, but the trained
man wins. No matter what depart.
ment YOU are IN your advancement
will depend largely on the thorough
ness of your training Whether you
are going to be trained man or not.
whether YOU are going to advance or
stand stills a matter entirely fol-
YOU to decide.

WHAT GERMAN VICTORY WOULD
MEAN.

Contributed by ARTHUR TRAIN
to the National Security Leagues cam
paign of Patriotism Through Educa-
tion.)
A German victory--or an inconclu-
sive peace-would mean the ultimate
realization of the German idea that
Germany for the good of the world
must rule the world. This has been
taught in her universities as philoso-
ply and in her pulpits as religion.
The German nation unquestioningly
accepts it and intends to force the rest
of the world to accept it. This they
call 'Kulturp which they claim in
"above morality, reason and science.m
Kultur teaches that there is only
one sort of right-that of the stronger'
1t argues with specious profundity
that in the relations of nations with
one another there can be no such thing
as truth or honor, Frederick the Great
taught that the Germans must make 1t
their "study to deceive others in or
der to get the better of them"' Fred
erick william ~ 70 years ago said
that all written constitutions were
only scraps of paper and Beth
mann-Hollweg ID 1914 referred to The
Hague conNon'ion Ia the identical
words. The scrap Of paper" idea Is
an old one in German diplomacy.
The Germans believe themselves to
be a nation of supermen and the Kais-
err the war parnersnot of the God of
humanity bar the "guter alter Colt"

EVERY COLD is CAUSED BY
TRANSFER OF GERMS FROM

How are the germs transferred? Oh.
that is easy enough The open-face
sneeze does the trick The unmuzzled
cough does It, A kiss will do it as

Casaiul scientific tests have repeat
ed shown that when we sneeze,
cough, laugh or talk without holding
a Handkerchief o.er the nose and
mouth, fine iavi sibss spray of saliva
or secretion from the ? is given off,
and this spray carr Is, as rule, for
some four or five feet from The face.
Therefore, II susceptible person sits
or stands within five fret from the pa
tient who has simple cold or a sink
pie sore throat, and the patient
sneezes or coughs openly, tie fine
droplets of moisture may carry direct
ly to that susceptible persons nose or
mouth, and tomorrow the victim viii
discover that he has been foolish
enough to leave off his overshoes Or
At any rate, by tomorrow the germs
have got him, and he has some kind
of alleged "cold."
Now, If every mothers son and
fathers daughter Of us were conscien.
tious enough and polite enough to muz
zle the mouth and nose when sneez
