Most of the uncivilized world had been
pre-empted by other nations before

of Africa--the parts In which the
white man might hope to settle and

is a motto which, of recent weeks, has
been much heard In Germany. At a
conference of the national liberal par

was made:

RHEUMATISM is TORTURE
AS Many a Somerville Reader
Knows Only Too Well.


Many pains that pass as rheumatism
are really due to weak kidneys--to the
failure of the kidneys to drive off uric
acid thoroughly. When you suffer achy,
bad joints, backache, too. dizziness and
some urinary disturbances. get Doan's
Kidney Pills, the medicine that is pub
licly recommended by over $50, 900 peo-
pie in many different lands. Doan's
Kidney Pills help weak kidneys to
drive out uric acid, which is often the
cause of the backache, rheumatism and
lumbago; Somerville people ha We learn
ed their worth. Read this Somervllie

We are fighting Germany, for one
thing, because Germany, having split
the world In half, is now seeking to
devour the halves separately. She
has driven wedge straight through
the heart of Europe. and into Asia,
and is seeking to extend 1t to the Per-
sian gulf.
This is no accidental happening, due
to the downfall of Russia and the sud-
den shifting In the fortunes Of war.
Germany planned 1t all decades ago.
She made no effort to keep the plans
secret. She told us all about 1t. She
had a reputation for making plans
and sticking to them, from one gener-
alton to another; yet the world paid
no attention. It seemed too prepos-
ferrous even for Germany to attempt.
An long ago as 1895 q pamphlet.
-Pan-cssznany and Central Europe
About 1850" was published in Berlin
and had wide circulation. It laid the
whole Mitteleuropa plan bare as fol-
lows:
"Poland and Little Russia tthe king.
dom to be established at Russia's ex-
pense) win agree to have no armies
Of their own, and win receive In their
fortresses German and Austrian garri-
sons. In Poland, as well as In Little
Russia, the postal and telegraph serv-
ices as well as the railways win be In
German hands"
In 1911 Tannenberg's book, "Greater
Germany" was published. This was
only three years before the war, but
1t showed that the idea Of German
Mltteleuropa had not zen allowed to
languish. 1t says:
"The new kingdom Of Poland Is
made up Of the former Russian por-
ton Of the basin Of the vistula. and Of
GalicIa. and forms a part.cf the new
Austria
How the plan has grown since thenl
Russia's collapse dropped whole prov
inces into the lap Of the kaiser. and
now Germany plans Its empire on 9
scale which would dwarf that Of an
eient Rome. II Is to embrace the orig
inal Central Europe. inhabited By
some T5.00o000 Germans. make the
Black sea q German lake. and extend
clear to the Persian gulf through the
vassal states Of Bulgaria and Turkey.
The German government started to
put its scheme for a Mltteleuropa In
to effect years ago when II began the
construction Of the Berlin-to-Bagdad
railway. Little Serbia stood in the
way, 90 Serbia vas attacked and the
world was plunged into war. In the
opposite corner Of Europe Belgium
vas invaded and crushed. The world
then thought that this Was only BE-
cause Belgium offered the easiest
route to France: but study Of the Mt

GROWING SpeclaItles.

It will pay the home gardener to
grow certain specialties of which he
may be fond, and which may be
troublesome or expensive to purchase.
.Okra is an example Of this class, and
little beds of parsley, chives or other
herbs take up very little room and
provide the housewife with additions
for her table which are most welcome
If they can be picked conveniently and
at the right moment.

Plants which grow high and cause
heavy shade should not be located
where they will interfere with sun-lov-
ing small plants. It is well, also, to
separate perennials, such as rhubarb
and asparagus which are not culti-
waited. from plants which must be
ptflled.

School Notes.

Most of the country schools have
opened for the summer session and
from reports coming to the office OF
the County Superintendent full en-
rollment was shown at the beginning OF
the term. Most Of these schools opened
July % and the others week later.
Satisfa story progress is being made
on the improvements at the High School
building and the contractors are con-
fident they will deliver the completed
building TO the school authorities in
time to open the school on schedule
time, september. 16. The contractor
have large force of hands at work
and the different parts of the work are
being carried right along together as
rapidly as can be done and as material
can be gotten on the ground.
There is no more important matter
than keeping all school houses locked
when not in use.. If they are left
open they are loafing places Cor undes-
irable characters and for animals that
IA no business in them. Local ad-
visory directors should see that every
school mouse il provided with lock
and key and the teacher cautioned to
to see that the building is kept locked
when not in use.
School desks have advanced in price
just in the same measure that other
things have and are now costing the
county just about double what they
cost two years ago. Each double desk
now costs the county about six dollars

teachers and local school authorities to
see that every care 10 taken to pres
erve them and save the unnecessary
abuse.
