THINK WAR WILL END IN 1918

A. Curtis Roth, former United
States consul at PIauen, Germany,
writing in The Saturday Evening
Post, says that German leaders feel
that the war will reach it's crisis in
the fall of 1918. These leaders be-
lieve that they are massing force
which will sweep the present kaiser
house" onward to a greater glory and
a heritage larger than that of the holy
Roman empire. The German military,
naval and diplomatic machineries are
straining every nerve that the turn
ing point may favor Germany's plans.
Mr.. Curtis quotes Captain Frank ia
cobs, German staff officer, medal win
ner in France and Russia, and a vet
eran in the Balkan service, as saying
that the allied western line would be
smashed in the summer or fall of 1918.
Captain Jacobs declared that every
detail of this 1918 campaign was al
ready worked out with detailed care;
that munitions, equipment and troop
budgets were being followed in the
west in order that the necessary force
should be in readiness to deal the de-
cisive blow Reference was also made
to the Strengthening Of the German
army in numbers, equipment and train
ing every year Mr.. Curtis concludes
that America should make it's war
preparations on the basis of the Ger
man military situation, rather than
upon the basis of internal German con
ditions, for eff the German people fail
TO decide autocracy's defeat, then our
country must win the great decision "

FINANCES OF THE CENTRAL
POWERS

When the war began the kaiser told
his soldiers they would be back home
before the leaves fell, at the same
time expecting to have robbed his
neighbors of enough to pay for the
war. Sadly was the kaiser mistaken.
His country is getting deeper and deep
er into the financial mire and things
look very gloomy over there. Accord
ing to the official information received
from Washington, the neighbors of
Germany are not taking any chances
man marks have dropped fifty per cent
and those who purchase German Sc
curities may get double returns on his
money if the kaiser wins the war.
Word comes from Amsterdam that
when Austria recently called for g.
coo, 100000 kronen only 3,OOO,OOO,OO0
WAS subscribed. Both countries have
kept their printing presses working
and the note issues amount to 4,0OO,-
100000, a vast sum in those countries.
War expenses are being paid with pa
per money, the gold reserve has dWin-
died and the financial outlook among
the central powers is full of gloom.

with various publications-for in
stance, The Masses, which the govern
ment denied second-class postal priv
ileges for its radical mouthings; also
Victor Berger's socialistic Leader,
which has been quoting La Toilette
frequently and with obvious approba-
tion,-an1, like The Masses, has fit
tingly incurred the disfavor Of patri-
otic government. 1t, too, must get
along as best it may without the ad-
vantage of cheap mail rates.
Then, there is the old Fatherland,
established in New York by General
Sylvester Viereck three years ago to
bolster up the German cause in this
country It was fairly rabid in its
pro-Germanism, and it is doubtful if
any single American has been given
more space and favorable comment in
it's columns than La Toilette AL
though George Sylvester, as time wore
on and things began to grow threaten
ing, changed the title Of his weekly to
Vierecks', and finally to the Ameri-
can Weekly, Senator Poindexter new
ertheless declared in the senate that
"The American Weekly is un-Ameri-
can" 1t was this sheet, that SO far
has escaped suppression, that printed
La ToIlette's portrait as frontispiece
over the legend, Zone of the leaders in
the peoples fight for peace" and only
three weeks before it most appropri-
ately gave Won Hindenberg's picture
the sane first honors as to position.
incidentally, it was the same Viereck
who figured in the notorious Won lyle
correspondence.
Surely one could not expect entire
oneness of journalistic sentiment in
this country regarding La Toilette and
his relationship to Germany, or to the
Germans, or to the Teutonic cause,
while such papers were or are, in cir
~culation nor yet while the suppressed
Philadelphia Tageblatte, or O'Learys
Ball were doing their most earnest
worst to embarrass the American gov
government -Madison Democrat.

Barabool A few days ago a youth
was walking along the railway station

It is sad the brewers and others
interested in the liquor business do
not know which way to turn. They
are between the old man with the
forked tail and water more than a
schooner deep, as it were. They do
not know whether to petition in dry
territory for license or not. A short
time ago the government stopped the
making Of whiskey on account of the
scarcity Of grain, and later the per
cent of alcohol in beer was reduced,
a saving Of many bushels of products
needed for food in these distressing
times. Next the government may
come along and stop the making OF
beer, anG g man with license, cost
ing $500, might have a difficult time
getting his money back. The fact is
he would lose the good old half a

Of the brewers are worrying about

practically no prisoners in the county

enjoyed some real winter sport by
catching a muskrat as it was running

his pelt, which brought 60 cents at

A ragged old negro man was ambling
along the street, followed by yellow
dog of no particular breed, He was
just plain dog.
When the dog stopped to play with
another of his species he met, the old

similar to the one which occurred to
the Portage citizen. Mr.. Zimmerman
was walking across the lake on the
ice and he says the animal jumped UP
and down around his feet, acting for
all the world like puppy glad to
see him. Zimmerman scouts the idea
that the rat was trying to fight him,
though Did trappers says the rats are
very savage now and will not hesitate
to attack a person, and that this is
their way Of trying to bite. The rat
played around for a little while,
turned and made off.

Perhaps the fact that we lose our
teeth as we grow older is natures
way to remind US that we should
limit our diet and not seek TO con-

most desirable during the most ac-
tive years Of our lives.
However there's compensatiuns
