HAPSBURGS MUST GO 100

The attention of the United Sta tes
has been directed chiefly on the evils
of the German dream of world con-
quest. 1t is the principal menace be-
cause it is the most vigorous and all
embracing. But the government Of
the Hapsburgs in many respects has
been far more tyrannical than that Of
the Hohenzollerns, and one CT the
chief intentions Of the present Turk
ish government is to deport or murder
a third of its population-the nOn-Mos-
lem third. Austria and Turkey may
be weaker than Germany, but they
are no less wicked. Any compromise
that would put subject races again
under the arbitrary rule of Hapsburg
or Turk would be a confession that
the high aims of the war are aban-
dOned-The Worlds Work.

GERMAN IN OUR SCHOOLS

In the Partisan newspaper L'Opin-
ion Gilbert Marie expresses his sur
prise at a tendency toward abolishing
the teaching of German in the Ameri-
can schools"
Gilbert Marie may alter his opin-
ion if perchance Germany forbids any
other language in the conquered parts
of France; and Gilbert Marie should
understand that German in American
schools is a study essentially of no
value either practical or cultural. 1t
is highly important as an adjunct of
the German-American alliance and Of
German-American propaganda in gen
eral but to the American boy or girl
it represents nothing but time wasted.
Ask our boys ana girls.
That's the test
Let's not take Gilbert Marie's word
for it, or his theory; and the older
these boys and girls are, as they look
back to school days, the more crystal
lied are their convictions on the suh-
ject
One may understand fully all the
stock arguments advanced by Ger
man enthusiasts on this subject--cer-
tain scientific works only to be had
in German, the untranslatable beau
ties of Goethe and Schiller, and all
that-and yet remain convinced that
all that is useful and desirable in sci
ence, in art and in literature will be
procurable in English when once this
German fetch is discarded for good.

HURRY!

These critical days on the western
front can have only one effect on
America. They will bring home to
every person the need on concentrate
ing every energy and purpose on the
single aim of winning this war.
If only we could be doing our share
in France today for the cause Of civili-
cation!
That wish must translate itself into
action as rapidly and as effectively as
possible. 1t is impressed on us now as
never before that every day is prec-
ious. We must build more ships, train
men, manufacture guns and airplanes
with the energy that come from the
knowledge that on the promptness of
our action may depend the outcome of
the war.
The message from France to Ameri-
ca today remains: "For Gods sake,
hurry"

DON'T BE A KAISER

The kaiser had six sons and large
income when he started this war. The
war is in it's fourth year and he still
has all his sons and his large income.
How he can look in the face the thou
sands of Germans, crippled by his war,
we don't know, but he does it. Every
body about his have given something
or someone to the war. The kaiser
has given nothing. He still has every
thing he started with and more He
lets the other fellows son do the dy-
ing. He lets the other fellow do the
paying. Do your share to win the
war. You can't keep your money and
your self-respect. Don't be a kaiser!

THE EASY WAY
Madison Democrat.

In Illinois the other Gay a man was
lynched for showing German tenden-
cies. Which would have been too
good if he had been disloyal. But he
was not, The mob was mistaken. If
he had been guilty of treason he
should have been interned for the du-
ration of the war, and with the res
toration of peace been tuned out so
that he could be followed for the next
fifty years with the curse of his kai-
serism.
How much better off would have
been the few copperheads still living
today, had they died during the Civil
War. At least a sense of sordid mar
tyrdom would have surrounded their
deaths. And how many times has the
average copperhead wished in these

Lynching for treason is not the
worst punishment. The real price to
pay is to be compelled to live for a
lifetime amid the contempt and scorn
of those who might have been be-
trayed, had the chance presented it.
self. And the worst of it all is that
the curse will follow the copperheads
of this war over land and sea with a
greater fury than it pursued the slack

BARLEY AS A HUMAN FOOD

The brewers contention that their
industry causes no drain on the food
supply of the nation, because barley,
the Fl ain used in the brewing of beer,
cannot be used as a human food, is
declared to be in error by the l0ard
of temperance, prohibition and public
morals Of the Methodist Episcopal
church. 1t shows in the current issue
of it's periodical that even the brewers
have unwittingly disproved their own
claim that barley is unedible as a HUI
man food. 1t quotes The American
Brewers Review for March, as saying
that "a large percentage of the barley
appearing on the market at present is
being purchased by miIlers for the
manufacture of -four to be used in the
making of bread" The article gives a
list of recipes in which barley can be
used. Barley flour makes excellent
bread, and barley mush is splendid
breakfast food" it says. The brewers
would like to camoufage the public if
they could.

MRS. STOKES AND FREE
SPEECH

For the benefit of Arthur Ochsner
Plain, who sent to this office a defense
If Mrs. Stokes, the following from
he Kansas City Star is here given:
Because the police of Springfield
would not permit Mrs. Stokes to
make a speech, after she had de-
cIared in Kansas City that she was
not for the government or the war,
she wants to know what has be-
come of the right of free speech.
1t is still here, still with us. But
America is at war just now, and
one of the first necessities for a
country at war is to keep all it's
enemies in front of it. 1t cannot
permit them in the rear.
There is another right, quite as
we'll founded as the right of free
speech, that Mrs. Stokes might
just as we'll have inquired about.
The constitution says "the right

arms shall not be infringed." But
it does not follow that the govern
ment would permit such arms to
be used against itself. America is
fighting this war to preserve for
Mrs. Stokes the very right she is
demanding. 1t is fighting an enemy
that would make Snort work of
those rights if it should succeed
in imposing it's rule on the world.
Mrs. Stokes could easily verify
that prediction if she were in Ger
many and should try to ascertain
what her rights were there in the
matter of free speech. -
If Mrs. Stokes really values the
rights of free speech and the other
rights that America is trying to
maintain for her she will turn in
and help protect them herself

FOODS TASTE BETTER COOKED
TOBACCO TASTES BETTER
TOASTED

Since the day Of the caveman. who
liked his meat raw, civilization has
learned a lot about the scientific treat
ment of the things we eat.
Naturally none of us would now
prefer to have our meat raw, our po-
tatoes as they come from the ground,
our coffee unroasted.
And naturally follows the great dis
covery recently made by The Ameri-
IAN Tobacco Co.-that tobacco tastes
better TOASTED!
This wonderful new idea-simple
like all great inventions-was first
used in producing the famous LUCKY
STRIKE Cigarette-made of toasted
Burley tobacco.
Burley has a mellow flavor, entirely
different from the tobacco usually
used for cigarettes. 1t is pipe to-
bacco and LUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes

III Belgium anu rance, uO you uOt
think Germany has committed enough
wongs to turn the world against her?
We hope Mr.. Koenig will answer
the following:
Did Germany do right in violating
her treaty with Belgium?
Did Germany do right in making
promises to the United States and
then breaking them?
| Did Germany do right in sinking
Red Cross ships and dropping bombs
on Red Cross hospitals?
| Did Germany do right in violating
all the laws of nations on the high
seas? (The Belgian Prince, for exam
ple.)
/ Did Germany do right in sinking the
Lusitania?
Did Germany do right in violating
her agreement made at The Hague
convention?
Did Won BernstorGf do right in want
ing to spend $4,000 to corrupt con-
gress?
! n:1 Cor1oorx, 10 r;o[+ IN con1inU
$75O,OoO to this country for the pur-
pose Of blowing up ships and com
hitting other crimes?
! Did Germany do fight in carrying
the Belgians into slavery?
The list is indefinite, but we hope
Mr.. Koenig will take the time to an
swer the above.
If Germany would do all OF the
above, do you think her soldiers would
hesitate to run a hayonet through a
child or cruelty an opponent? Have
you read Bernhard and other German
writer's, Mr.. Koenig? They taught
atrocities. They made the German
people believe in them. We have read
the books, Mr.. Koenig, and do not see
why we should question General
Bernhard and the others. Do YOU
think Bismark forged a letter in or
der to bring about a war? He says
so in his own book. When you come
out of the fog, Mr.. Koenig, you will
know more Of the truth concerning
Germany. It is bitter for you to be-
lieve all the wrongs that Germany has
committed, but go to some Of your
friends who have gone over the
, ground, and listen to them for while.
| Mr.. Koenig wants free speech. How
much free speech would you enjoy if
you were in Germany? Free speech
assumes a different phase when war
is once declared between countries.
Why does Mr.. Koenig stand up for
La Toilette? Do you know, Mr.. Koe-
mig, the Republican party has repudi-
ated him? What did the legislature
do? the university? the Madison
club?
All have cast him aside. Why, Mr..
! Koenig? Do you want this country to
go to pieces like Russia? What would
Germany do if she could? She would
send her warships to this country and
demand enough indemnity to pay for
the war and you, Mr.. Koenig, would
have to help bear the burden, If you
have any property. Germany spent
many years in preparing for this war,
commenced the war, and the world
has turned against her. There is no
neutral ground, Mr.. Koenig. You are
either for this country or for the
kaiser. Which? Do you like the
German government better than the
one you are now enjoying? Do you
want to be led astray by such men as
La Toilette, and see this nation go to
pieces. Trotzky and Lenine, the La
Follettes of Russia, had their way, and
what has happened Mr.. KOenig?
These lines might be made indefin-
tie. but there is just one more ques-
| ton we desire to ask: How should the
| war end? What should happen to

Baraboo News Publishing Co.,
Dear Editor: was just about
ready to subscribe for your paper,
but think shall let it go awhile
yet, since reading The News late
Iy. Now, dear editor, | have al
ways liked your paper, but lately
you are going little bit too
strong against the Germans. | say
Germans; although most Of US are
full-blooded Americans, but &C
cording to your paper everybody
that does not speak the English
language is un-American. Now if
it is true that the German soldiers
thrust their bayonets into boys
and girls in conquered territory,
then all the German-Americans
must be barbarians, Huns, etc,
for they are of the same blood as
the German soldiers. There is no
pump yet invented that will draw
the German blood out of our veins.
Here is a question which you will
please answer, dear editor: What
do the German soldiers do with
the dead boys and girls? Do they
eat them? suppose as barbar-
ians do, nothing less than that
Why do not the German soldiers
nail the Canadian soldiers to trees,
as that would be much better
and quicker way, as the door
might fall down. Yes, Mr.. Editor,
these are newspaper reports and
nothing else. Did Mr.. Ambassador
Gerard see it? No, Of course not,
only heard it, and SO it is with
Rev. N. D. Hills. If a paper could
change it's color it would change
from pure white to jet black at
such dirty lies. Please let your
paper stay the paper it used to be,
pure and clean, and will guaran-
tee you that you will not only get
a lot of new subscribers, but you
will keep your old ones, also.
The German spies ought to be
done with what our government
thinks is right, nobody can or will
say anything against that. But

THE REPLY
1t is a pleasure to reply to MI
Koenig's letter, and from the tone o
what he says he is just getting Cut o
he fog. Mr.. Koenig is evidently lik
many others. he does not care to hea
he truth.
In the first place this paper neve
said, unless quoting someone else
that those who do not speak the Eng
ish language are un-American. Their
are many who speak German that ar
most loyal to America, and Oil tn
other hand there are others who spea]
he German language who are in sym
Oathy with the kaiser and his crowt
Of militarists.
In the second place, if we are t
question the statements OF forme
Gerard, whom are we t
believe? Has Mr.. Koenig read the re
port of Lord Bryce? Of Prof. Laus
anne? We have asked the Unite,
States government to send Mr.. Koeni
a copy of the War Cyclopedia, an
will ask him to read under the follow
ing titles:
Atrocities.
