What German Victory Would
Mean.
By Arthur Train.

the ultimate realization of the
German idea that Germany fol
the good of the world must rult
the world. This has been taught
in her universities as philosophy
and in her pulpits as religion
The German nation unuestiona.
bly, accepts it and intends tC
force the rest Of the world tC
accept it, This they call "Kultur'
which they claim is "above NOR
ality, reason. and science" ID.
Kultur teaches that there is
only one sort of right-that of
the stronger (2). 1t argues with
specious profundity that in the
relations of nations with one an
other there can be no such thing
as truth or honor. Frederick the
Great taught that the Germans
must make it their Study to de-
ceive others in order to get the
better of them" (3). Frederick
William w, 20 years ago said
that all written constitutions
We're only scraps of paper"
and Bethmann-Hollweg in 1914
referred to the Hague Conven-
tion in the same identical words.
The scrap of paper" idea is an
old one in German diplomacy
az.
The Germans believe themsely-
es to be a nation of supermen
and the Kaiser the war-partner-
not of the God of Humanity
but the ''guter alte Gott" of the
Pagan North-the War Cod
who revels in the shrieks of
women and the torture of chill
dren, in bloodshed and cruelty.
Il am his sword, his agentp de-
clares William HohenzoIern.
LET all the enemies of the Ger
man people perish God demands
their destruction-God, who by
my mouth, bids you do his willp
(5).
To accomplish this divine
will the Germans believe that
any means are justifable-the
moving down of crowds of help
less civilians with machine guns,
the cutting off of the breasts of
women, the battering in of the
skulls of the wounded with rifle
butts. "Be as terrible as Attilla's
Huns" ordered the Kaiser (6).
ut is better to let hundred
women belonging to the enemy
die Of hunger than to let a sin
gle German soldier suffer" (7). !
"All prisoners are to be put to
death" ordered Gen. Stenger, in
Belgium (8). A Bavarian private
writes during the battle of
Budonwiller did away with four
women and seven young girls in
five minutes. The captain had
told me to shoot these French |
sows, but preferred to run my
bayonet through them" (9).
This is the concrete result of /
what the Germans call "The Re
ligion of Valor" and "The Gospel
Of Hate" Says one of their
spokesman: Must Kultur build
its cathedrals on hills of corpses,
seas of tears and the death rattle
Of the vanquished Yes, it must"
QO).
If Germany wins the war the
United States will either being
paying tribute to the Kaiser or
German soldiers will be bayonet-
ting American girls and women
in Jersey City rather than take
the trouble to shoot them.
If Germany wins all our ideals
of truth, Justice and humanity
which we call Christianity-will
be trodden down into bloody
mire under the iron heel of the
kalser's armies, and the coming
generation will be taught that
there is no God but the merciless
God Of Battle who speaks
through Germany's treacherous

TRAINED NURSES

Rendering Service in the Influenza

it-Masks Being Made To b Worn
by these Nurses
An article in the New England Di-
vision Bulletin. American Red Cross,
entitled Recognition Being Given
American Nurses and written by
Jane A. Delano. director Of the De-
partment Of Nursing of the Red
Cross. states that American nurses
are covering their profession with
glory that will live forever is the re-
port that comes from France with the
entrance Of American troops into the
midst Of martial activities abroad.
The American nurse is the best
trained nurse in the world and Is de-
serving Of the highest honors we
can bestow. upon her." said a famous
French general recently.
The extraordinary bravery of the
two nurses recently recommended for
the British War Medal. will go down
into all history to glorify American
womanhood, the article continues.
The attention of a Journal repre-
sentative was called Thursday to the
fact that the nurses who are working
in this country and have answered
the emergency call during the influ-
enza epidemic are deserving of just
as much credit as those who are in
the service across. The nurses who
have gone to Bath and other cities
in the State are doing a great work.
And the nursing profession in Au-
gusta has responded nobly to the call,
many having gone for this work
At the Surgical Dressings class at
City hall, Augusta, the. women have
been very busy making masks to be
worn by all nurses on influenza cases
and these masks may be obtained
without charge at Room EOS. postof-
flee building. These masks are
made of seven thicknesses of sur
geons' gauze, eight inches in length
and five inches in width. and are tied
with tapes. They can be wrung out
in an antiseptir solution and then
dried, but are not to be worn unless
dry. They offer a practically sure
prevention from inf1etion. A tele-
gram from the chairman OF the Am
erican Red Cross states that nonurse
is to take an influenza case without
being protected with one Of these
masks.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
Will Pay For Support Of Any Cap.
tured Army or Navy Nurses

An interesting piece of news re-
ceived at the headquarters of the Au-
gusta Chapter is to the effect that if
any army or navy nurses are cap
ured by the Germans the American
Red Cross will support them during
their captivity. This decision fol-
lows closely upon the announcement
that under the law the pay of army
nurses, if captured. cannot be contin-
ued because they are not technically
on duty.
The Red Cross will undertake to
supply to captured American nurses
not only food and clothing. but neces-
sary money to pay their board if the
German prison camps treat them as
officers rank and require them to
pay for board or lodging or so to
work

And good one it must be when Eow-

Rheumatics should hail the news with
great rejoicing, for it Is surely a re-
markable remedy and has a record Of
almost unbelievable cures. Read what
J: F. Oliver Of Albany. Ca. says
about it:
Il had sciatic rheumatism for two
years. and tried every medicine offered
for rheumatism. Tried many DOCTORS
was treated at one of the best southern
sanatoriums, and if l improved any
did not realize it. I am a conductor on
the Central Of Georgia Railroad, and
had secured pass to Hot Springs,
Ark, to take treatment. About that
time I saw Rheu: "A advertised and
concluded to try it. I abandoned my
trip, took three bottles, and now feel as
well as ever. am going to make every
body 1 see who has rheumatism try it,
would not take a hundred thousand
dollars for what Rheuma has done for
me. I would rather be dead than live
as was before the use Of Rheuma."
If you have rheumatism in any FORM
don't delay-try Rheuma today. A large
bottle, sufficient for two weeks treat
ment, is not expensive, and your money
back if it does not give you quick and
joyful relief.-Adv. sept27-oct2-4
