lacks confidence in the strength of
the German spirit
The following is staten. at of
Major N. A. Bailey given in a letter
published by DR.. w. T. Hornady in
the New York Tribune, August II,
1915:
"At the close of the Spanish-Amer-
lean War, was returning on the
Santee-I think it was-from Santi-
ago, Cuba, to Montauk Point. On
board there was military attache
from Germany, Count Won Goetzen,
personal friend Of the Kaiser.
Apfopos Of discussion between
Count Won Goetzen on the friction be-
tween Admiral Dewey and the Ger
man admiral at Manila, Won Goetzen
said to me: 4 will tell you some
thing which YOU better make note of.
l am not afraid to tell you this, be-
cause, if you speak of it, no one
would believe you and everybody will
laugh at you.
About fifteen years from now

great war. She will be in Paris in
about two months after the COM
mencement Of hostilities. Her move
on Paris will be but step to her
real object-the crushing Of Eng
u ~
clockwork. We will be prepared
and others will not be prepared. I
speak Of this because of the connec-
ton which it will have with your
own country.
Some months after we finish our
work in Europe we will take New
York and probably Washington, and
hold them for some time. We will
put your country in its place with
reference to Germany. We do not
purpose to take any of your territory,
but we do intend to take q billion or
more Of dollars from New York and
other places. The Monroe Doctrine
will be taken charge Of by us, as we
will then have put you in your place,
and we will take charge of South
America, as far as we want to.

try. like it, but we have to go our
own way Don't forget this, and
about fifteen years from now re-
member it and 1t will interest you
Won Goetzen's prophecy missed
by just one year, although. as we
have seen, it Is faulty in other re-
spects.
James w. Gerard. our last ambas-
sador to Germany, says in his book,
My Four Years in Germany" that
he had an interview with the Kaiser
in 1915 in which the latter Showed
great bitterness against the United
States and repeatedly said. America
had better look out after this war.
l shall stand no nonsense
from America after the war;"
A. Curtis Roth, former American
vice consul at Plauen, said in an in
teryiew published in 1917 that "the
Germans became imbued with the
idea that America must be made to
suffer, that America must indemnify
the German people, and behind these
ideas were the German army and
navy. In April, 1915, I was
with party Of German officers at
Bad Elster, in Southeastern Saxony.
Major Liebster, an acquaintance Of
mine Joined our party. Ma
jor LEICESTER sought the occasion for
a conversation with me and, among
other things, said. we a"e keeping

The German intent Is very clever,
but the American people can prevent t
its ever being put into execution by
lending money to their government
in the form Of Liberty Bonds and
Thrift and War Savings Stamps and
In cooperating in all the just re-
quests that the government makes of
them.

Army Horses Good-Ten1pered.

It's a weary, wicked world if you
are an army horse. You may or may
not approve of shoes, but you've got
to have them just the same. The
French authorities have an ingenious
contrivance which so pinions a horse
that he has absolutely nothing to say
in the matter. 1t holds his head, and
holds his feet and holds his body, and
forcibly prevents him from expressing
an opinion, or choosing his shoes, or
making a protest in any way. If they
would only let fellow get in just one
real horse-size kick one could-but
what's the use. IL the meantime the
farrier gets in his fine work, and then
it is too late. Yes, it's hard, cold,
cruel world, so it is. Still, shoes are
not so bad and they give dandy heft
to ones hind hoOfs in arguments later
on in the camps.

Watch Heart in Lobar Pneumonia.
F. w. FRIBERG, Pastor.


Deaths of pneumonia patients are
due either to heart failure or to sep
ticemia. seldom, if ever, to insufficient
aeratiOn of the blood in the lungs, says
DR.. E. p. Hershey of Denver in his
prize answer to the New York Medical
Journals question, 'How do you treat
lobar pneumonia"
Dr. Hershey says the heart must be
watched and stimulated with digitalis.
If it can be obtained the appropriate
vaccine is to be used. In spite of
prejudice, he recommends the ice bag.
If the patient be alcoholic he must
have whiskey or brandies; if not, all
liquor must be cut out. A generous
diet, but without meat, is necessary.
Open-air treatment is cOnquering an
cient prejudice. Sudden rise of tenn
perature on the third, fifth or seventh
day is no cause for alarm, and de-
pressing medicines at this time may
mean death.

HAS WON RESPECT OF ALL
British Working Man, making Good"
as Soldier, Will Never Again Be
Butt of testers.

What the poor citizen wants is not
charity, or even sympathy, still less
regulation; it is respect, which is the
social soil of self-respect. That is why
he is sometimes happier as a soldier,
in spite OF all the sickening horrors of
soldering; because humanity always
has respected, and always will respect,
a soldier.
Thus, Gilbert +. Chesterton, writ
ing in the Illustrated London News,
sums up an argument which, among
it's premises, contains the following:
''After all, it will be we'll to remem-
Der that nearly every battalion is
labor battalion. The commonest type
il the trenches, the object of such
wide and well-deserved praise In the
press and the public speeches, is, after
all, identical with another type-a
common object of the streets and the
comic papers. The British soldier is
generally our old friend the British
working man.
she has lived by trades that are
too often treated as merely grimy or
groteSque; and in the case of new and
almost crude conScript armies, like
those we have lately raised, he has gen.
orally quite recently dropped those
tools and left those trades. 1t is the
plumber, who is charged with potter
ing about for days before he stops a
small leak in pipe, who has often in
a few minutes stopped with his body
the breach in the last dyke of civiliza-
ton, lest it should let in sea of saw
agery; and there may even be fewer
jokes about his soldering, now they
can be answered by a pun about his
soldering. 1t is the cabman, who was
supposed to grumble unduly at very
different sort of fare, and especially at
at the sort we call warfare"

Swore Just Like a Native.

Lieut.-Col. Oliver Dockery, in charge
of training of the 160th Depot brigade,
at Camp Custer, Mich, is from the
South and has something of the char
acteristic Southern accent. The other
day when 1000 negro recruits arrived
from Alabama Colonel Dockery ran
across a negro sergeant who was
marching a group of the new men
along in the rain and reproved the
sergeant for taking his men out in
such weather and ordered them back
in the barracks. Just as they disap-
peared in the doorway one Of the shiv-
ering little negroes from the South
turned around and said, "Dat sholy
am kind-hearted man. He cusses like
he come from down home. Dat boss
make me so homesick dat believe l
is goin' to cry" Boo-hoo! Boo-hoo!

HAS KEPT TOUCH WITH PAST
Old Tarrytown on the Hudson Refuses
to Become Part of Modern
Hustle and BuStle.

Safely aloof from the rush and
scramble which typiies Long Island
today lies Tarrytown on the Hudson.
The solidarity and leisurely prosperity
of Tarrytown have kept it from being
swept along with the stream of world
ly progress. 1t has tarried.
It has kept it's legends and traditions,
it's landmarks and historic buildings.
It still likes to look at the monument
marking the spot where Andre, the spy,
was captured 1t likes to recall with
thrills of local pride ''The Legend of
Sleepy Hollow" until it sees again the
headless hOrseman pursuing the luck
less IchabOd.
There are other specters of which
the locality can boast, notably that OF
Andre, also on horseback, who can be
heard at night riding at high speed up
the road on which he was captured. At
the fatal spot the sound of hoOfs
ceases, naturally enough, leaving the
chance nearer to scuttle home with
unseemly haste.
Night is an excellent time to go sight
seeing in Tarrytown. There is the
Sleepy Hollow graveyard, which no Wis
itor would wish to miss, and which has
an additional charm when viewed by
moonlight. There is always the posi-
bility that some illustriOus resident of
the place may come forth to take the
air and wander once again to his old
home or to the market place.

Gunners Making Glorious Record.

The gunners of the armed guards on
merchantmen have made a record of
which we may be justly proud. The
contests of the Silver Shell, which sent
down the submarine which attacked
it; of the Moreni, on which the men
stayed at their guns until the flames
flared up to the top of the smOkestacks
on the burning ship; of the Campana,
whose gunners fought for hours until
their ammunition was exhausted; of
the J. l.. Luckenbach, which, though
under a rain of shells, hit nine times
and temporarily disabled, fought a
submarine for four hours, before aid
arrived, and later managed to reach
port under her own steam; Of the Ar
menia, which, though torpedoed, was
saved through the courage and re-
sources of it's captain, crew and armed
guard; of the Navajo, the Mongolia,
the Petrolite and a dozen others are
notable enough to be recorded in the
naval history of the time.-Josephus

.scrinture and Profanity Mixed.

The Bible and profanity were
strangely intermingled in the congress
few days ago. Senator Overman
made the statement that President
Wilson ''has been criticized in many
instances, for instance, for not taking
senator's into his confidence" To which
Senator Reed remarked: "Oh hell!"
Senator Overman expressed the hope
that this expression would go into the
Record. Subsequently Senator Over
man read into the Record section OF
the eighteenth chapter Of Exodus, de-
scribing how Aaron and Hur sat by
the side of Moses and held aloft his
hands throughout the day while the
conflict between the army of Israel and
the army of Analek was In progress.

DUTY That Lies Near.

If only it could be impressed upon
each and every one of US that we must
do our duty, whatever that duty may
be and wherever it may be, just as
we'll as we possibly can, what a ire
mendous thing it would be.
1t has been said that if the American
people would save just 10 per cent of
what they have formerly spent the war
would be won and victory would be
assured. The girl in the home can do
a tremendous part in the winning of
this war-she can save in many ways,
she can work in many ways and she
does not have to have any special tai
ent for it either.
Character and industry, these are
the things that count, these are what
make life really worth the living.
