By t}ci bert Quick, U. 6. Farm Loar
 Commissioner

A pro-Gafman is a man who, by pri- vate or public uterapces, stands in the way of a whole-hcart6d prescott ton of this war and the defeat of the German will to conquer.
 He may do it by finding fault with the conduct of the war. He may do it by impracticable peace arguments. He may do it through mistaken policy. He may do it because he is in the pay of the German Government He may do it because he has been befooled and amboozled by those who are in Ger many's pay
 The German will to expansion by conquest must be broken by defeat. If that rapacious will be not broken, the war will not give us peace. In all the history of the world there never eX- isted a conquering nation less fit to rule others than are the Germans. This is true because the German policy is so brutal, so cruel so scientifically eX- terminating. In the streets of every town in German Poland children are falling and dying of starvation. Chil- dren s to 12 years of age are being carried through the streets by their parents because they are too weak to walk-because of starvation The Poles are being exterminated as fast as possible by the Germans just as the Armenians-the oldest Christian na- tion in the world-are being eXtermin- ated by the Germans and Turks. Why? Because Germany wants the property of the Poles for Germans after the war; and because they want the property of the Armenians for the Turks and Germans after the war.
 Their will can and must be broken by defeat It is not the will of the in dividual German. It is the bloody, brutal, cruel, devilish will of the Ger man Government and the German rul- ing class, miseducated in the school which believes that war is the summa- tion of human good.
 pro German is anyone who stands in the fay of our successful prosecu- tion of the war Every word that falls from the tongue of any American or is written by him carries with it re- sponsibility greater than ever existed in the history of this Nation. Look well to what you say or do.
 Germany has in this country hun dreds of papers printed in the German tongue Whether this ought to be oi not is a grave question: If any of these papers are loyal 1 do not know of them Some of them may be, but have not heard of them.
 These and other papers and many individuals say they are for America, but none of them say they are against

WHAT A fpERO-CERMAN?

[ Germany.
 He who is for us is against Ger. many. He who is not against Ger many, tooth and nail, in this war is not for America. You can tell the pro-German by an. other test: If he is against France, or against Italy, or against Russia, he is pro-German.
 The armies and navies of these pow. CTS are fighting our fight. They are dying by thousands every day to make the world safe for democracy. If we win we must win because they do most of the fighting and dying, while We only do some of 1t. The enemy of Great Britain is pro- German.
 The enemy of Russia is pro-German and antidemocratic.
 The enemy of Italy is against Amer ica.
 The enemy of France is lost to every claim of patriotism.
 Do not let these proGermans poison the atmosphere in your locality by slandering our allies without challenge It is time to call down the man who fights against our armies with tongue or pen, no matter what flag those ar mics are fighting under.
 Words are things. In such a crisis they are dreadful things, portentous things things which can not be allow ed to pass as of no account.
 Germany is pentrating every coun- try of the world with her hired spies and traitors. She disorganiZed the Russian Army through traitors after the revolution. She knew the plan of Russian battle beforehand through traitors She has filled this country with spies and traitors. She has financed the l. w. w., without doubt She has destroyed property and de- bauched our citizens.
 Is there any American who does not long for peace? Not one! Neither is there a Briton or Frenchman or Italian or Russian. But it must not be Ger man peace, leaving the great spider in the center of his web waiting for an- other chance It must be real peace.
 It must be made with the German people or with ruined Hohenzollern I-one or the other But he who talks peace as if he only longs for it, as if he only were commissioned to make peace. must want a different sort of peace from the sort we must have. Distrust him. He may be sincere, but he may not be.
 The world has in the past been con- quered by traitors-oftener than it was ever conquered by arms. The Mexi- can people fought each other into sla- very to Spain. Let us not be bought by German gold into slavery to Ger many.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by in famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is fnfamed you have rum mbling sound im- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an tnhamed condition of the mucous sur- faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system
