manys greatest and most terrible
enemy" says Maj. Louis Aubert, q
member of the French High Commits
sion to the United States, in an ad-
dress before the American Historical

land or France or the United States.
II is history-the written memories
oi man-thc record OF her own deeds
as it shall exist for posterity."
No nation could survive with such
an enemy, said the distinguished
Frenchman- and his intimation was
that Cermany's real battle for exist
ence will begin after the war is over.

is being written OF this war will make
the future of the German rules q diff

U-Boat Base in Brazil.

Buenos Aires, Dec. 27.--Brazilian
papers received here today are filled
With accounts of the movements of Il
German corsair off the Brazilian coast
n few weeks ago The newspapers as
sert that the mysterious vessel was
identified as German and that it
unloadcd all immense cargo Of heavy
cases at Cerqueira and Armacao.
Several days later the steamer re-
turned to Armacao with additional
cargo which, the newspaper accounts
say, it is believed she received from
a larger ship out Of sight of land.
From Armacao the vessel proceeded
to Caloura, where another part of the
cargo was unloaded.
These ports are not guarded and 1t
is asserted that the cargoes landed
were smuggled away mysteriously.

Refused to Accept Flag.

Brookfield, Mo-, Dec. 78.-The
chairman of the Linn County Council
of Defense was notified today that
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Lampkin has revoked the life teach
e#,ss certificate of Lind, rural
teacher of this county, who had
hearing before the state superintend-
ent here last week on charges of dis
loyalty.
Lind has been teaching under his
life certificate since 1886, and for
number of years was member of the
high school faculty at Moberly, but
more recently he has been employed
in the rural schools of Linn County.
He is not German, but is a native
American of Swedish ancestry.
In his examination before State
Superintendent l-ampkin it was
brought out that he refused to accept
an American flag and teach his pu-
pills to salute it, refused to sign the
food conservation pledge or allow it
to be circulated among his pupils
while in school, and before our dec
laration of war he taught his pupils
that Germany rather than the Allies
was right in the present world con-
flict.

TAFT DENoUNCES SEN. LA
TOILETTE
Says Pacifists Would be Willing tc
War on Small Nations.

Springfield, mr., Dec. 21.-Pacifism
as propounded by Senator Robert M
LaFollctte OF Wisconsin was de-
nounced here today by former Presi'
dent William H. Taft in an address
before the Illinois State Teachers
association.
ut is too bad that senator in the
congress of the United States, sworn
to uphold the constitution and the
rights of the United States, should
argue the sinking of ship on the
high seas and the loss of American
lives as merely the invasion OF tech
nical right" he said.
Suppose it should have been Ven
ezuela. The president of the United
States would have sent note which
would have been carried to its port by
the secretary of the navy aboard an
American battleship, just as gentle
reminder. In this case, the circum-
stances are exactly the same, except
that the offensc was committed by Il
great military nation, and to defend
our rights, requires great war"
Mr.. Taft declared if the offender
had been Venezuela, LaFollette and
all the other pacifists would have
been for demanding rcparation and a
pledge against future act Of the
same kind. but since great war is re-
quired, the paciiists call it a technical
invasion.
