this amazing dispatch on May 10, 1917:

This telegram was intercepted In the

a thrill of horror around the world.
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg Is
a true disciple Of Frederick the
Great, Bismarck and his royal master.
In public speech on January 81. 1917.
he said:
"When the most ruthless methods
are calculated to lead us to victory,
swift victory, they must be employed"
So they were used, and are being
used today. They include sinking or
hundreds of neutral ships, the burning
Of cities, the deliberate devastating
of the fair lands of France, the ravish-
ing of women, the enslavement OF
workmen and the mur0er OF Atue GILL;

Walcott, who, for long time, was en-
gagged in behalf Of America in trying to
get food to the Poles whom the Ger
mans were deliberately starving by
the hundreds of thousands SO that they
might not cumber the land which the
Germans intended to occupy.
Knowing all this. can the American
people talk Of any peace by negotia-

this mad dog of nations is freed from
the military rulers who teach frightful-
ness from the cradle, and will only
seize a respite now to prepare them

-
We are at war with Germany be-
cause Prussia dominates Ger
many, and from the days Of Freder-
ick the Great, Prussia's law has been
the law of the jungle. her doctrine
"Might is Right" and her policy, In
dealing with other nations, one of rob-
bling the weak and terrorizing the
strong. Germany has grabbed terri
tory and exacted tribute from her
neighbors, and finally, her greed be-
coming greater, has looked out over
more distant lands, and has commit
ted herself to a policy Of world domi-
nation which menaces the continued
free existence of every nation Wnlch
will not submit to her will.
Germany's policy is not an acciden-
tai one. 1t has been carried out with
remarkable singleness Of purpose
from generation to generation OF
Hohenzollern rule, from the time
of the Great Frederick until to-
day. Germany's atrocities are not
dCClueuLdls 1uCy arc uSOSA
ate, we'll thought out part of this
Hohenzollern policy, which was to
break down the resistance Of her op-
ponents, not only by fighting and de-
feating their armies but by killing,
torturing and terrorizing the civil
populations.
The German rulers committed them
selves to the doctrine of the survival
of the fittest. Through generations of
teaching they made the German peo-
pie believe that they, and they alone,
were the fit.
We have the words of the German
rulers and German warriors and Ger
man leaders Of thought for all of this.
More than that we have the perform
ance of German officers and German
armies in conquered lands to prove it.
Let's start with Frederick the
Great in presenting the evidence.
This monarch, who earned his SOU
briquet through despoiling his neigh
bors, rather than through any real
qualities Of mind which he showed,
said, in letter to his minister, Rad
twill:
The Morgan County press. (Wartburg, Tenn.) 1916-1926, 1918-06-07

'If there is anything to be gained
by 1t, we will be honest; II deception
is necessary, let us be cheats. One
takes what one can, and one is wrong
only when obliged to give back"
This philosophy, applied to present
conditions, means that Germany was
right when she took Belgium, and Will
be wrong only If she Is not able to
hold 1t.
From Frederick the Great to Bis
mafck is q long jump in the matter
of time; but we find the Prussian pol
icy unchanged. Speaking before the
military committee Of the Prussian
Chamber of Deputies in 1862 Bis
marck said:
"Not by speeches and resolutions
Of majorities are the great questions
of the time decided. but by iron and
blood"
Then, with blood and iron, Prussia
went out and despoiled Denmark OF
territory in 1864, beat and robbed Aus
tria in 1865, and finally, in 1870.
brought France to her knees and took
her richest provinces.
Here is what the present kaiser told
his troops when, In 1900, they were
about to depart for China to put down
the boxer uprising:
"Use your weapons in such a way
that for thousand years no Chi
nese shall dare to look upon German
askance. Be as terrible as Attilla's
HUNS"
Coming on down to the present war
we find German minister accredited
to neutral state far across the sea
one which. one would think should be
free from the entanglements Of world
home to his govern
ment, in a state paper, advising the
sinking of two ships from this neutral
nation, in such manner That no trace
be left. Dead men, he believed tell

pleasure in his advanced age is to go

MRs. MNRY sTENENs-swEGER

Although in failing health for some time,
the death of Mrs. Mary A. Sweger, at an early
hour last Thursday morning, gave a shock
to her many friends. Mary Ann Stevens was
born Round Prairie near Viroqua. March
4. 1853, and taught for four years in the rural
schools of this county. She married to
August T. Sweger, December Is, 1874, living
a year at Springyille, and then at Avalanche.
where her husband in business. Mr..
Sweger died February 3, 1855, and the widow
continued dealing in general merchandise I'M
til 1894. when she took up her residence in
VirOqua, where she remained until the final
summons. She was woman of rare ability
and tact But few could have filed her place
successfully, left with three sons. nine, six
and three years of age, during a widowhOOd
Of thirty-three years She is survived by these
children, Stanley A.. grocer of VirOqua. Al
fred of Washington state, and Rev. Eben Of
North Dakota, who mourn the loss Of faith
full Christian mother. She also leaves three
sisters: Mrs. Jos Omupdson of Viroqua, Mrs.
Seyert Larson and Mrs Ole Frederiekson Of
Nestby, and one brother. Thomas Stevens. Of
VirOqua town.
A large eoncourse of friends attended the
services at the United Lutheran church. Mon
day morning, and most fitting was the dis
course of her pastor, Rev. e. o. Hofstead-
1t a sincere tribute to the memory OF one
who was not only very faithful worker IN
the church. but a valued personal friend. The
service entirely in English, except the
reading of favorite hymn of the deceased in
Norwegian. In accordance with her request,
her favorite hymn in English, The Home of
the Soul" rendered at the close of the
service by Mrs. John Henry and Miss Marga-
ret Hulsether. Interment was at Coon Prair-
lie. with many near ones, and may tears were
shed over the removal of one whose graces
endeared her to many life long friends. We
shall certainly miss her. Mrs. Sweger was
longtime worker in the w. c. I. u. and
will be greatly missed in that capacity.
The aOral pieces numerous and rare,
in mute tribute rejecting the love borne for
a good woman. NJ. ID. B.
We wish to express most sincere and
grateful appreciation for the many words
and acts of sympathy and kindness shown US
in the loss of cur dear mother, by so many
friends, aud for the beautiful floral offerings.
