United We viii Stand.

The fact is becoming every day
more aid more apparent that Ger.
many is finding a united foe too
strong for all her boosted efficiency.
The allied battle lines are standing
firm. and the Prussian objective of
Paris or the Channel ports seems as
far from being attained as at any
time since the German hordes we're
turned back at the Marine.
But when Prussian arms fail.
Prussian strategy gets on the job.
; And Prussian strategy is on the job
these days as large as life. The OBJ
ject of that strategy is to effect dis
affection and division in the ranks
of its enemies. Well the Hohenzol-
Terms know that with the Allies

methods. the Prussian ambition is
doomed
German propaganda humbled
Russia not German arms. German
intrigue was the one cause of the,
disastrous Austrian drive into Italy.
German propaganda is now aimed
at driving a wedge between the,
allied nations. No opportunity
will be neglected. it matters not
how small it may be, of sowing dis
sensiOns between the nations
leaeued against her.
So, if you even think that we
have grievance against any of our
allies, lock that thought up careful
ly in your heart and never let it see
the light of day till this gigantic:
conflict is fought to a finish.
And when that result shall have.

WHITLEY WAS BORN ON
AUDRAIN COUNTY FARM.

The story of the life Of Senator
Wiley is an inspiration to the Ameri-
can boy, especially to the boy who
feels that he is handicapped in the
struggle Of life by locality of birth,
illness, loss of education, limbs and
suffering.
Wiley was born on the prairie
near Santa Fe, Monroe County, Mis-
souri,, which is Is miles northeast of
the goodly city of Mexico, in Audrain
County, and IL miles west of the IA
nous village of Florida, the birthplace
OF Mark Twain. The Wiley farm,
800 acres, full half section, Is on
Littleby Creek, which flows into Mark
Twain's Salt River. 1t is a good place
TO born and to live in.

est in the world. Mile after mile, as
far and as straight as the crow may
fly in any direction, the land is black

From the viewpoint of the rail-
way conductor, brakeman, or en-
eineman Secretary McAdoo occupies
the most enviable position in this

trainmaster, superintendent or presi-

he can fire them whenever the
spirit moves him.
