Germany Must
 First Be Beaten

We must get the idea firmly in- to our heads that, for the present, nothing else is of any consequence.
 We must not complain of the high prices, of the shortage of food, of anything, in fact, which at other times might be of great importance.
 There is only one issue. We can not live with Germany vie- torious.
 A SINGLE LIBERTY BOND will help to save a soldiers life. YOUR soldiers life. and bring him home to you-ahve and vic torious.

Note the
Last Straw-Ages
Old History of Hest

Often

garians are not among the oppressed, but
assuredy among the oppressors; not
among the prosecuted, but among the per-
seeutors.
The lot Of the people of Alsace-Lor-
raine while under the sway of the Kaiser,
that OF the Poles under the rule of the
Russian Cars and that of the Italian
speaking population of the Italia IRE
denta provinces of Austria has been mild
compared 10 that of the unfortunate
Croats, Siovenes, Transylvanians and =
Slovaks beneath the tyranny of the Mag
vars. II is not fer nothing that the eoun-
try over which they rule is known as Hun
gary; that is to say, the Land Of the Hun.
Intimate relations have always existed
between the Magyars and the Prussians.
Hungary's great revolution of 1913 and
1919 was largely financed and directed
from Berlin in pursuance of the Hohen-
zollern traditional policy of weakening
Austria. The war of 1866 was under
taken by Bismarck largely with the inten-
ton of sapp.ng the strength of Austria

peeled TO yield TO the demands of the
Nagyars for partial Independence Bis
marck, and after his downfall Emperor
William, all along made it their business
TO strengthen Hungary against Austria
They held that BY fostering the differences
between the two moicties of the Dual En-
pire and by encouraging the ambl-
ton Of the AagyaTs to render Vienna
subordinate to Budapest they were con-
verting the twin Hapsburg monarchies
into a tool for HOhenzOIlern miltarism.
For Germany, or rather Prussia, could al
WAYS overawe Austria and bend her to
her VIII by supporting the Hungarians.
Eitel Suggested for King.
1t was Hungarian statesman who con-
Guided vita Bismarck In 1879 the alliance
which bound the HaPsburgs to the chariot
of their former vassals and retainers, the
Hobenzollerns. Every new concession de-
handed by Budapest from Vienna was en-
eelraged and abetted from Berlin; and to
such an extent did Emperor William pay
court to the Hungarians that at one mo-
ment his second son, Prince Eitel, was
seriously discussed in the German and In
the Magyar press as q likely king Of
Hungary.
Tisza. the most masterful of Hunga-
rian statesmen, WIS fattered and petted by
Emperor William untl he became his
bOdnden ally and confederate if not his
creature, and it was Tisza who, as Pre-
mier Of Hungary, at the iI1stigation of the;
Kaiser at Berlin forced Emperor Francis:
Joseph and the Government at Vienna
into the declaration of war upon Serbia,
which preeipitated the present world
conflict.
When. the Powers of the Entente as
semble around the council board to die
tate, not negotiate, the conditions of a
lasting peace they are likely to bear in
mind the saving of wise and sagaeious
old statesman who was wont TO insist
that Hungary, or rather the minority
Magyar element of the kingdom of St
Stephen, was the backbone of Hohenzol-
lern Imperialism and of the Kaiser's prof.
ect for the military, the political and above
all the economic mastery of the entire

another. From their antipathies comes
order, and peace from their mutual dis
likes"
Czech, Hungarian, RHmsnian, Pole,
Croat, Serb, Sloxak and Slovenian, Ans
TRAN and TyTolese, and even the Magyar,
If left alone, would be peaoeable neigh
bors. But tins might have resulted IN
their forming coalition against the Wen
nese Government powerful enough to
force its hand, and that was thing to
be avoided at all costs
In 1870 when Bohemia had chance
for equal recognition with Hungary,
Francis Joseph repudiated the pledge
and accepted Count julius Andrassy, a
Magyar, as Chancellor.
OF the twin nenarehies Austria may
inspire some pity. There has always been
a feeling among the nations Of the Entente
that she was forced into the present war
against her viii. Assuredly the late EN-
peror Francis Joseph was bitterly averse
thereto and anxious to end in peace his
unhappy life, darkened as it was by many
tragedies.
Unwilling Slave of Germany.
Until the time Of Italy's entry into the
war in May, 1915, strenuous efforts were
made beth by France and by Enga to
detaeh Austria from her alliance with Ger
many, owing to the conviction that she
was the. unwilling slave, rather than the
partner Of Germany in the fray. Even
after that at any rate until the summer
Of 1916, these efforts were continued with
the understanding that if Austria with
drew she would have to make certain ter
ritorial sacrifices to Italy. President vii
son delayed proclaiming war upon Aus
tria for months after the United States
had broken with Germany, hoping that
Austria could be detached from Germany.
But although there is reason to believe
that Emperor Charles and especially his
Bourbon consort, Empress Zita, were ianx-
ious for separate peace, they either
lacked the courage or the forces arrayed
against them were too powerful to over
come, and the time when they might have
saved themselves by a separate peace
went by.
These forces were those Of Germany
and of Hungary. Whatever may be the
sentiment toward Austria there should be
no sympathy wasted upon Hungary.
There has been a tendency IN America,
but not IN France, Great Britain or Italy
to regard the Magyars as among the en-
shaved nationaiities of the Dual Monarchy
eager for and entitled to freedom and IN
dependence. As matter Of fast the Hum

Incidentally it may be added that the Ad

two Balkan wars by which II was preceded.
The Entente is also pledged to fhe in

portion of which has been embraced in

pretentions TO the italian speaking

as 'the Italia Irredenta;" while the mil

Hungary Also Seems Doomed.
From this it viii be seen that not only
Austria but likewise, Hungary is definitely
doomed to 4dismcmberment, and this' not
alone by the imposition Of the will of the
Entente, but what is much more 10 the
point, by the win of the very people hith-
erto subject to the house of Hapsburg.
That the disruption should thus come, not
alone from without, but also from within,
is due largely to fhe policy pursued by
most Of the sovereigns of the House Of
Hapsburg and by their leading statesmen
at Vienna, policy fostered by Berlin ever
since the days of Frederick the Great.
1t is policy which has been summed
up in the Latin words "divide ct impera,"
which may be rendered in English as
SOW dissension among them SO that YOU
may rule.D Instead of endeavoring. TO
allay the antipathies and the jealousies
among the sixteen nationalities embraced

Six Sentenced in D. c. Courts for
Appropriating Machines.

'Joy-riders had their inning in Judge
StaHord's court yesterday, six of
them going a route that was any
thing but relishing.
In practically every instance it was
case where the offender had taken
a machine that did not belong to him.
Judge Stafford gave sentences as
follows: VOllie L. Jackson was given
three years i'm the penitentiary; Verne
J. Clarks and Herman Carlson each
drew year and half in the peni-
tentiaTy from the penalty lottery;
John P. Wilson got a year in the
county jail: Robert z. Leonard won
six months sentence at the same
institution, while James Bostwick was
let on easily with only three months
In jail. All had pleaded guilty to Joy
riding in the manner described.
None OF the courts are in any lem
lent mood just now with respect
p to Joy-riders, but on the other hand
are disposed to go the limit with old
Offenders, and give the new ones
enough to let them know It is a dan
