Of Frederick is all the blood which Was
shed in war which ragged during
many years in every quarter Of the
globe. The evils produced BY his
were felt in lands where
the name Of Prussia was unk1naoQ&n;
and in order that he might rob
whom he had promised to
defend, black men fought on the coast
Of ,coromsndel and red men scalpedd
each other by the Great Lake 3 OF
North America"
Frederick had by the MOST solemn
promise bound himself to support the t.s
pragmatic sanction and protect Maria
Theresa in the possession of her ter
ritory. He treated this compact as ]; a
scrap of paper and seized 81 silesia,
which Maria Theresa regarded as the
most brilliant jewel in her crown.
Kaiser William treated his solemn
promise to uphold the sovereignty Qf
Belgium as scrap of paper, and ne
started war more bloody apa even
more widespread than the great war
of the eighteenth century. The evil
produced by the wickedness Of the
Kaiser has caused black men to fight
each other in the jungles of Africa.
Il has caused the whole of Europe to
engage in the bloody work. The people
of ancient Mauritania are going into
The ring line. The Holy Land is a
battle field. Christians have been mas
sacred without mercy among the
mountains of Asia Minor. Mesopo-
tamia, the deserts of Arabia are re-
sounding with the shouts Of battle
To the remotest coasts of the Pacific
Ocean, on the shores of the Arctic
Ocean, in China and the islands of the
Pacific the war has spread and the
dead bodies of women and children
have been given to the high seas be,
cause of the vanity, the lust of power
and the wickedness of this one man
Surely there is justification Of the
trite saying that History repeats it,
self.

SPANISH INFL'Ut 81:

There is scare in this country at
present over the spread Of what is
termed Spanish influenza" 1t is
said to bring on pneumonia in many
cases.
At this time, as is generally the
case at the change of the seasons,
many persons contract colds. This
is especially the case at the advent OF
autumn when cool (often cold) waves
prevail.
In conversation with an Alexan-
dria physician today he said he sees
no difference in the so-called Spanish
grippe now prevailing than the grippe
of past years. Of course, the dis
ease is dangerous for old people or
those dcbilitated or sufferers from
chronic organic troubles. This has
ever been the case.
4 contemporary in commenting
upon the present excitement suggests
that at intervals the people of the
country or those in certain localities
are afflicted with some kind of an
epidemic and mild panic ,ensues.
Some time ago it was infantile pa
ralysis. That is fearful disease and
the anxiety Of people about their
young children was not unnatural.
At the present time an influenza is
prevailing in some of the cities and
towns which has been popularity
named the Spanish flu" Some say
that it is a new name for an old foe,
namely the grippe, and in New York
a considerable number of deaths have
been attributed to it. Yet notwith-
that the prevalence of the disease
the general health of New York
is a good as ever, according to the
reports, and there has been no in
crease in the death rate. Il is likely
that the prevalence of the disease is
exaggerated, and that every one who
sncezcs thinks he has it at this season
of the year, when there are sudden
changes IL the weather and people
have not yet donned their winter
clothes, and colds and coughs always
prevail. There is no reason for those
SO suffering TO imagine at once that
they have TIE Spanish flu.

aBLoT OUT THE BLOODY HAND

The fourth Liberty Loan drive was
Launched today. The words at the
Ehead of the article in aaming letters
under the imprint of bloody hand
rare at the top of poster which ap-
! pears in many places in Alexandrla
today. On another poster Columbia
aroused, is represented as marching
furiously toward the Hun camp. The
American eagle is at her side, while
the goddess is brandislhing. sword
which will not be sheathed until right
takes the place of might. While the
entire civilized world is aroused as
never before, the Goddess OF Liberty
is specially incensed, and heretofore
the meek and comely figure upon the
dome of our Capitol is at present as
an avenging Fury. Our nation IS
incensed, peace-loving people having
been transformed into combattants Of
the most formidable type.
Not only do those bearing arms
thirst for part in this great war
~ = Z,
FOR Liberty, but men, women and
children throughout our broad do
mains are anxious to play their roles
in making the world fit place in
! which to live. The axe IS laid ut the
1 roots of the German tree. 1t has
been marked. We are now looping
the branches. The time is near when
the tree itself will fall with terrific
crash. Then shall the representatives
of free government gather around
gzthe trunk and deliberate as to its
final dispoition.
Is Liberty Bonds will play their part.
On three previous occasions they
have done well. The fourth is ,des-
tined to prove more efficacious.
- President Wilson in New York last
night started this fourth ball in mo-
ton by delivering one of his most in
spring addresses, during which en-
tausiasm overlooked. As usual, When
our President speaks, every !, Word
proved to be a jewel. He lett some
thing which we can think about. Like
all epics, YOU cannot add nor sub
tract without marring his utterances.
His words afford meat in due season
for all. Among other things he said
this was "a peoples wal-not OF
!. statesmen. Statesmen must follow
the clarified common thought or be
broken. The enemy has convinced Us
that he is without honor and does not
intend justice. He observes no cove
nants, accepts no principles but force
and. his own interest. we cannot come
to terms with him. Peace cannot rest
upon a world Of outlaws"
Alexaadsiaz IS septhused, and there
is no doubt that our city will again
be found well up in the column Of sub,
scrihers to the new Liberty Bonds.

THERE is MONEY IN
PURE BRED POULTRY

"If the Kansas farmer will keep
purebred poultry of popular breed
and good laying strain, he will have
an outlet for his poultry at good
prices, points out L. w. Burby, of
he United States Department of
Agriculture, who is cooperating
~ tn the agricultural colleges in con-
Quoting campaign in the interest
of increased production in poultry.
There is demand for good poul-
try. Eggs for Matching may be sold
for 81 and more per setting, de-
pending on the grade Of stock. Well
developed stock bring in high prices
as breeders. The males are thus
disposed of as breeders instead of
going to the pot
Well bred birds are more inter-
esting to work with than mongrels.
They are all of color and size and
bring better prices, and their eggs
are more nearly alike and look much
better than those from mongrel
flocks.
Like produces like. Select the
hens that are workers in the flock
the bright eyed and vigorous ones.
Consider size, shape and color.
Procure, if possible, male from
high producing stock. At least use
vigorous bird. Give the breeding
stock plenty of exercise and green
feed Mate the breeders at least
two weeks before starting to save the
eggs for Matching. Select we'll shap-
ed eggs for Matching.

LET THE PETS ALONE

Once in while when health Off
Ger or an hysterical conservationist
or plain crank finds time dull on
his hands he decide to serve his
fellow man by advocating the de-
struction of all the ca S and dogs.
The latest eminent indiv dual to
whom this wild and silly plan is at
tributed is DR.. w. C. Woodward,
health commissioner of Wash ngton,
d. c., whose reason, we are told, is
that cats and dogs eat food and
spread diseases. Perhaps the commits
sioner has been misquoted. We
hope So
Cats and dogs do eat food. But
we do not believe that sudden and
complete destruction of every cat
every and dog in the country would
make difference enough in the food
supply to feed family week. Here
and there one finds an aristocratic
pussy who feasts on daily slice of
luscious liver, or even a raw egg top
ped off with rich lappings of cream.
But they are scarce; and they adorn
families where the conservation plan
is not acutely considered, and where
elimination of the pet would not con-
tribute to the nations saving. There
are dogs to whom fall meat-edged
bones which might well make the
basis of nourishing soups; and dog
biscuit contains materials disable in
more delicate viands. Yet we doubt
if massacre of these smooth-coated
pets would add to the sum Of avail
able food for humans.
The average pets eat largely ma
terials which otherwise would be
wasted; and they give, in affection
and contentment, far more than they
receive. No pet cat or dog ever lived
that did not a thousand-fold repay
all the care and attention spent upon
it. There's more in the world than
cakes and ale, or bread and cheese, or
dollars and cents, or stocks and
bonds. The cat or dog deals in the
mythical things of the world, carries
the conviction of mental expansion,
lavishes on arrogant humans the
philosophy Of better things.
AS for the idea of germ-carrying
and disease spreading we have never
seen proof of anything of the kind,
beyond rare and isolated istances.
You can pick up more disease from
the strap in the street car or from
a chunk of meat, dust strewn and
paved over in the public market,
than you could gather if you mauled
all the dogs you met in a lifetime.
Dogs, do we are told, communicate
one dreadful disease-rabies. It is
rarer than blooms on century plants.
We can only account for this out
burst Of animosity against the dog
on the ground that every special
manifestation of goodness in the
world arrouses the opposing spirit Of
evil. The praise so widely being
given the dog just now for his de-
votion, intelligence and service amid
the APPALLING perils of war, has evil
IDENTIFY stirred the counter passions of
hate and cruelty in the breasts Of
his foes.-Boston Record.

\ COURAGEOUS PHILOSOPHY

A pathetic scene was witnessed at
railroad station the other day when
mother babe farewell to her son,
as he departed for training camp.
The poor woman was almost over
come with emotion. Her only boy
was turning his back upon the home.
She felt that she was telling him
goodbye forever, and she so stated
to the manly fellow who stood before
her. "You will never come back, she
sighed. ''Oh, my boy; you will never
come back to me if you go to
France"
The young fellow took his mother
in his arms. He assured her that the
chances were he would return.
"But", he said, ''listen, mother; if I
die fighting in France l shall be bet
ter off than you will be here in this
country if Germany wins the war"
Mothers and fathers should read
the words of this brave boy. They
should have them impressed upon
their minds. For not since the war
started has any man uttered greater
philosophy. The dead soldiers in
France will be better off than the
living people Of this country if Ger
many wins! They will at least be be-
yond the reach of Prussian military
officer; they can no longer be kicked
off the streets; they will not have'to
stand with folded arms and witness
brute of an officer outrage sister or
strike a mother over the head with
sword, or see a baby brother struck
through with bayonet. All these
things have been witnessed by the
people of the countries where the
Germans rule. Aye, better dead
hundred times than to be slaves Of
the foulest military hierarchy that
has ever cursed the earthLMarys-
vile Advocate.
