Spirit of Militarism and Conquest
Is as Old as Germany
Itself.
SEEK CONTROL OF WORLD
Failure Due to Fact That 1t Did Not
Include a Reckoning With HUI
man Nature as God
Made It.
(By HAPSBURG LlEBE Of the Wig

iIantes.)
The average man of those who
have kept up with current events dur.
ing the last few years will tell you
that Germany's colossal plan Is 4O
years old. AS matter of fact, the
seeds of 1t were sown pore than a
dozen times 40 years ago. The spirit
of militarism and conquest and might.
is-right is as old as the Teutonic war
party, which Is as old as Germany It.
self. The majority Of the other ma
tons saw plenty Of signs of the mon
ster, for the war lords were brag-
CARTS. and they could not refrain from
Boosting of their scheme. The won
der of all is that these other nations,
the United States included, have not
been taking preparatory and defensive
measures for several decades.
The ultimate aim of the plan was,
of course, the complete control and
kulturization of the world. 1t was
born of brains rendered british
through the over and over intermarry-
ing of an autocracy that was barba-
rian to begin with. A little like n
moon-calf, it was at the outset but Its
morally befuddled parents fostered it
until they actually believed it pos
sessed rare virtues; and they inocu-
lated the people with its germs until
the people themselves fell for it.
Human Nature Left Out.
So far this plan has failed. however
narrowly, for the simple reason that
it did not include a reckoning with
the human nature that God made. The
sOldiermen of other nations are in the
long run stronger than the cast-in-the-
mold iron soldiers Of Germany. 1t is
the thorough organization of the Ger
difficulty of the entente allies. Per-
haps the greatest strength of the plan
itself, however, lay in the very stu
pendousness of it. Few would be-
lieve that any one nation would dare
attempt to enslave the rest of the
world. Half the rest of the world does
not realize it yet. 1t is too big for
their imaginations. Their imagina-
tons are, naturally, peace-time.
This is the main trouble with us
here in America. So many of us will
not see what we are facing or what
we are fighting for, If we did see, the
success of the Liberty Loan and the
Red Cross drives, the food-saving and
the fuel-saying campaigns, would be
much greater. It's of no use now to
harp that our administration leaders
should have seen the signs of the times
several years ago; it kills no German
to blame our representatives at Wash
ington for having been in the past
not statesmen, but politicians serving
their own instead of their country's in
terests during those fat, sleepy years
before Germany pried open the gates
of He'll and loosed its legions upon
earth. The one thing to do now is to

Paris.-HOlland will defend the
Scheldt river against the designs of the
Germans and will march against any
assailant of her neutrality, high
Dutch authority declared in an inter-

said.
"Some of the upper classes of the
country may be pro-German, but the
liberals and democrats are prO-ally.
Nothing can make Holland abandOrS
her neutrality, for such step would
terminate our independence, especially
if Germany should be victorious"

WASN'T THE LOCAL PoSTOFFICE
Little Item in Daily Citizen Did Not
Refer to Baxter Springs
Post Office

On Monday the Daily Citizen clip
ped few paragraphs from the Col
umbus Advocate under the heading Of
"For Heavens Sake" by N. W. Hus-
ton. The subjects were mostly coun-
ty politics, but one Of the paragraphs
was a little "slap" by Mr.. Huston at
Doc Hendrickson, Columbus postmastt
er. In the frantic haste Of our back
office force this particular paragraph
was run in the Daily Citizen without
credit to the Columbus paper and
sounded like it was meant for the
Baxter Springs post office. Charlie
Smith has been "joshed" some about
it, so this is to explain it was all a
mistake and not meant for Mr.. Smith
and his coworkers at all. Following
is the item:
"a train through Arkansas is slow;
returns from the second ward OF
Scammon are leisurly; molasses from
a jug run slow, but have you tried to
buy stamp at the post office window
yet?"

HERE'S TO COVEY'S BAND

Covey's band is as dependable as
Uncle Sam and as loyal to Baxter
Springs as one could ask. They are
always on the job and they do what
ever they are asked to do and do it
we'll.
No member of this musical organi-
zation has told US so, but Covey's
band was not treated right Monday.
The band was enlisted to help put on
the parade here and was one Of the
leading features, but they expected to
be used in the afternoon and the big
automobile pageant drove away to
Joplin leaving a wake Of dust and
Covey's band sitting here high and
dry without even an "all-day sucker"
to help pass the time away.
If we have Liberty loan parade, a
Red Cross parade, or any old parade
Covey's band always comes up to the
scratch and does it creditably. Coveys
haven't complained, but we are COM
planning that they should be made
provision for, first as a reward of
merit and second because they are
very valuable to the town.
A fund and a permanent place for
practice should be set apart for them
because Baxter has some entertaining
to do ahead and a Joplin band won't
come over here just to help US out.
Here's to Covey's and let's do some
thing for the band.

Readers of the Daily Citizen read
an account of the trip of Oliver Green
street and C. NJ. Sarchet to st. Louis
in this issue. In an interview
with these gentlemen we learned that
there is some things back that cannot
yet be printed. The things that are
back are good news and this zinc pro-
ducts proposition is going to be
mighty fine thing for Baxter Springs.
We have printed considerable about
Mr.. Greenstreet's proposition -
enough perhaps that first interest is
beginning to pail a little. Rest as
sured this is no promotion scheme. It
is the real thing and Baxter is the
home Of u real inventor. The discov-
cry bids fair to revolutionize the zinc
industry, but it will take some time.
Big manufacturing companies do not
act as soon as they are convinced.
They look it over and pan it closely
before coming all the way over.

city, has been commissioned captain
in the National Army and is ordered

In view of the discontinuance of the

at all. -
The hospital will be closed the day

on his return.

practice till the day he leaves.

MAIL SERVICE HURTS TRADE
 OF ALASK 4

Strong resolutions of protest were sent to Postmaster General Burloson, ito Secretary Lane. Congressmen Had Icy and Johnson of Washington. and to Delegates Sulzer and WiCker3ham by the secretary of the Valdez Cham Der of Commerce on the last boat, setting forth the dcplorable condition Of the present mail service and ask ing relief from the situation which is fast becoming intolerable
 The resolution in part stated that owing to the failure of the steamship lines to enter into contract with the government to maintain q regular and efficient mail service to the various towns on the coast of Alaska, the mail is now carried as freight by these COmpaiics. which entails great delays at the receiving and distributing points.
