Day-To the Day!" They meant tn
Gay when Germany should PRACTICAL
rule the world. They have though
they had the might, and they wer
convinced that they could conquer tn
world but they mistook human ma
ture. They never dreamed, for on
moment. that the little country O
Belgium would oppose their grea
and powerful army. They though
they could walk right through Bel
GUM, and within ninety days il no
within thirty days, be in Paris Blu
Belgium offered her life for her ideals
They never dreamed for one momen
that England, unprepared, would en-
ter the war; but these German states
men misjudged the fiber Of the Eng
hshman. and England entered tn,
war. Although they might sink tn,
Lusitania and murder American citi
Gems, they never dreamed that Amer
lea, with an insignificant army, would
they have found or they will f1nt
their mistake.

There is only one master in this
country; I am he. and l will not toll
crate another" The Kaiser has to
ind out that God rules and that the
people will be their own masters. If
he lives long enough he will, and l
hope he does. | want him to live to
nnd out that the people of the world
will be the master, and that intelli-
gence and the desire for right will
count more than might in all the
wide world.
There is only one law-my law;
the law which myself lay down"
The Kaiser Is wrong. The law of
God, the law Of Justice, the law of
virtue, the law of honor, is the only |
aw that will prevail. and that is not |
he law OF the German Kaiser today.
1t was on the 7th day of June,
