Germany Responsible? Never!

Should any German war vessel sink one of the
American ships carrying grain to Switzerland, the
responsibility will not fall on the German govern
but the president OF the United States" is
one of the latest official pronouncements Of the Ger
foreign office.
OF course
Germany is responsible for none of the horrors
of this war
If the Belgian aged and children are starving, they
are responsible-because they are Belgians.
If Louvain sacked and its priceless library
destroyed, the priests and professors who es-
tablished and maintained it for 500 years were re-
sponsibe-for thinking that such institution had
right to exist outside of Germany
If the women of France and Belgium mourn their
daughters, murdered deported to Germany they
are responsible for their own grief-for having
bred children.
If the homes of Belgium and north France have
been looted; if paintings, the jewels of women the
clothes from their backs, the money from the banks
and the food from the mouths of the hungry have
been taken; if the land itself has been destroyed
the vineyards and the orchards cut down. the people
of Belgium and France are responsbIe-for having
had lands and jewels and money.
If the Lustania sunk with a loss of 1,154
ives OF men, women and children Ola of them
American), Americans were responsible for that
wholesale murder-because we have a land and
dare call it own, from which the Lusitania
sailed.
If women and children of Paris and London have
been killed by bombs in the night only their own
people who them are responsible-because
they are French or English.
Pile up the horrors; they are all the same There
have been outrages and atrocitiesthat is admitted
But all have been committed against Germany; none
by Germany. Germany says Germany pleads
mot guilty"
But so has pleaded every one who has stood trial
in this land-whether he was charged with chicken
stealing burglary murder-since our courts were
established. Our gallows have been raised and our
penentiaries maintained for the punishment OF
people who pleaded mot guilty"

little time for Rock Island to open its eyes, but
there are few more wide-awake cities in the

This city has had some unlind things said about

AS General Snuts Views It.

General Christian SHUTS, the former Boer leader
summarizes the war aims of the allies very well when
he says:
We do not want indemnity, we want no
annexations; we are fighting for the liberty,
freedom and rights of the nations large and
small.
We do not want to abolish Germany or
exact an indemnity from her. But want
to see these results-liberty, freedom and the
rights of all nations-safeguarded by lasting
peace, so institutions will be created that will
guarantee peace in the future.
If any wants to know what Germany
is after, let him look at the Russian peace.
For the sake of the future we cannot allow
state of affairs such as exists in Russia today.
General SHUTS adds that Germany cannot win
because it is in the wrong That of course, is on:
reason, and good one. Another reason is because
the allies with the United States exerting its full
strength, will have the most men, the most guns ant
the greater staying power.

Light on Tuberculosis,

The great majority of us harbor
somewhere in the body. perhaps in
a deeply lying lymph node. a lat
ent or inactive focus of tubercu-
losis This infection we have ac-
quired in infancy, either by direct
contact with a person who had tu-
berculosis of the lungs, through
kissing, or by spray or droplet in
cold" or cough" or grip" So
called, or by infection through
milk from herds not tubercuiin
tested. The infection probably finds
its way to the lymph node through
the tonsils, or in milk infection
through the intestine. With fair
hygienic environment the infection
remains dormant or quiescent in
definitely; we never develop any
indication of active tuberculosis. If
the environment is not good, then
this almost universal latent tuber-
culosis is likely to light up tinto

the hip joint of some bone, of the
lymph nodes in the neck ('crofu-

or in fact, any part of the body.
tuberculosis is now second only
to cardiovascular disease as a de-
stroyer of life. 1t prevails most
extensively among people who
have the least regard for or knowl-
edge of ordinary hygiene.
tuberculosis is the most durable
