GERMANY ALREADY PLANNING
FOR ANOTHER WAR.

AIHlu all tne 5lSdhIIC StIuSSle VI
this hour, leaders in Germany are
seriously making their plans for what
thev cali the next war" 1t is their
definite intention if they do not win
this war and win everything for
which they are fighting, and that
means the world domination-to plan
on a still larger scale for "the next
var" says the Manufacturers Rec
crd
This thought is being pressed upon
Germaa PEOPLE, and they are being
told Ly their leaders tat Germany
must even now begin to look forward
to the next war"
It IS the belief of these people that
if they cannot conquer the world this
time. they must bring about peace
which will leave Germany in posi-
ton, learning by present experience,
to prepare on still larger scale for
their next great effot to conquer all
mankind.
This is no idle or visionary dream
on the part of Germany, for if Ger
many could bring about peace which
would leave it and it's allies uncon-
quered, it would be in immediate
shape to concentrate its entire &C
tivities. mental and financial, to the
building up Of a still greater fight
ing machine for the next war to which
Germany is looking forward, as for
years it looked forward to the day
when it hoped to be able to crush
France and England and then to
crush America
o A premature peace or peace

of the world, and with nearly 100000

ship could be made into an army of
tremendous fighting power,
With Russia in its possession, Ger
many would become the greatest
financial, industrial and military
power in the world, so far surprising
in that respect the combined wealth

United States that it would be able
to win the next war.
Moreover, while Germany was get

its entire energy upon a feverish ac-

The complete and Overwhelming de-
teat If Germany in this war and
dractic penalty imposed upon Ger
many and its allies, a penalty OF
death for the leaders, and financial
Indemnity which would tax those
countries for fifty years to meet it,
Is the only possible salvation for the
world from German domination or
from a continued concentration OF
the worlds thoughts upon war to the
exclusion of everything else, with the
strong probability that if Germany
could absorb Russia it would then
completely overrun the world.
This is the plan, simple, easily un-
dcrstood situation which confronts
us, and he who does not see it is as
blind to the truth as were those who
in 1914 when Germany launched its
war upon Belgium, refused to see that
it had launched war upon all ctviliza-
ton, and that all civilization must
unite for the destruction of Germany
