If Germany Should Win

tried to build up little Germany in
the United States. The Deutschtum,
which has brought dissension and an
archy upon Russia, was in process Of
development here when we went, none
too eagerly, into the war. Our col
leges harbored exchange professors"
from Germany who preached little
academic learning and great deal
about Teutonic virtues. Our public
schools were dominated by German
influences so that in Chicago not long
ago it was discovered that the chill
dren were being taught the sweet and
reasonable virtues of the kaiser un-
der guise Of instruction in English
grammar, The German press, Ger
man societies, German churches were
all united, under instructions from
Berlin in the effort to keep the Ger
mans in the United States true to the
ideals of the Wilhelmstrasse. And il
was all preparatory to action when
the German raid on the United States
should come. The confidence with
which German authorities counted on
an uprising here was shown by Beth
man -Hollweg's insolent remark to
Ambassador Gerard that 100000 Ger
man-Americans would rise if war be-
tween the two countries should be
declared.
The United States is rich. Ger
many is hungry for land and money
A year ago the United States, utterly
Iunprepared to resist the spoiler,
would have been as helpless as were
the Chinese when the Germans at the
time Of the Boxer troubles plundered
and ravished and slew them withount
mercy. Today, should the unthink-
able happen and Germany triumph
lover our allies, we would have des-
perate task to keep her from over
running our country and extorting
from us indemnities and cessions of
territory which we could hardly re-
place in century Of planning and at
the cost of another war.

MoonshinerS
Still Found
Near Arcadia

The officers have been quite sue
cessful lately in locating moonshinC
distilleries. 1t seems that the whites
and the blacks alike are trying thei.
hands at converting corn, potatoes
etc., into moonshine, and the officers
are making it rather warm for them
The latest still to be discovered
was being operated in the ArbucklC
valley about nine or ten miles east O.
Sebring, by white man and he was
turning out good article, so the
sheriff says. The sample seen b,
the reporter in the sheriff's office hat
the appearance and the smell of be.
ling all right.
He was arrested and brought tt
town by Deputy W. q. Dalgetty, Of
Sebring. About four quarts of thu
stuff was found when the still was
lraided, and, according to the admis
sion of the man, it was a right new
charge, four quarts being the capac.
ity of his plant.
His name is c.. M. Kinard, and he
lives on a little homestead, out in tbs
Arbuckle valley, where he has a wife
and several children dependent on
him. Kinard was not satisfied with
the slow process off converting his
corn into cash by the old methods
employed by many, raising pigs, and
so he undertook the nearer route to
fortune by taking chances on violat-
ing the law He was finding pretty
good market for his wares" in the
city of the White Way, until the dep
uty walked upon him.
The moonshiner was arraigned yes
terday before Judge Whitehurst, who
took into account his wife and chill
dren and gave him very light fine,
$50 or 80 days. Up to this time he
has not raised the $50 and still Ian
grishes behind the bars Arcadia

Against the wall, in Flanders,
The nations stand at bay;
And thou, the strong, the mighty,
A laggard at the fray!
God drive thee hard, America,
So hesitant, so slow;
God smite thee in His anger,
And fling thee at the foe;
The last black dregs of sacrifice
Nay It be thine to know!

Once thy fathers, be thy children's-
Not thine the deathless shame
That freedom fell in Flanders

progress in Lake county, a vast i'm
provement in the appearance and the
weight of cattle is noted in practical

have declared the better appearance
land weight is due to the improvement
in pasturage, but an object lesson at

He was enlisted at Washington bar
racks and joined the regiment at
Camp Mills, l.. I. Shortly thereafter
he informed me that his brother and
Chazal wished to enlist also and af-
ter learning their qualifications, in
formed him how it could be accom-
plished.
From the first George took hold
with energy and intelligence and de-
veloped rapidly to the point where
considered him one Of the very best
men in the regiment. He was ap-
pointed to the grade Of master engi-
neer, the highest non commissioned
grade.
Last December an opportunity came
to send few men to the candidates
school to try for commissions. George
Mckay and Moody were two of the
men sent. They completed the
course and George Mckay was given
about the highest rating in the class
He and Moody were recommended for
commissions and while waiting for
action by the War Department they
were sent up to the French front FOL
experience. l had already made eff.
forts to have George Mckay assigned
to the regiment after he should re-
ceive his commission.
He has proved to be a man Of ex
