church is state-controlled. Labor is
a shackled slave to military au.ocora-
cy. The feudal landlord, the manu-

German slavery are forged within the
schools.
For hundred years the Germans
have been taught that they are the
chosen people. Their culture has be-
come Kultur destined to destroy or

If only the Prussian will to conquer"
can prevail The crrogant marching
song, Il am Prussian, 90 you know

national robbery and "Deutchland
Ueber Allies" became the fixed policy
of Hohenzollern rule.
With us schools mean opportunity
and public education makes for dem
ocracy and individual freedom. The
doors of Our school buildings swing
each way on oiled hinges, offering
free instruction, elementary, second
airy and higher, to every boy and ev-
edy girl who wants it. There is a
straight. unbarred road from kinder
garten to university.
In Germany only for the privi-
legged classes is there a chance for
hogher schooling. The children OF
the masses can go merely to the COM
mon schools to get that amount and
kind of education, whose keynote is
obedience, and thereafter they are
forced into a vocational training to
make them able and willing servants
of state industrialism. Through all
their years of schooling well directed
teachers preach their duties to the
church and state and to their future
employers and finally for the boys
the years of military service com
plete a discipline which makes for
competent, industrious, unquestionine
servitude, but not for freedom.

Ii the German father wants his boy
to have more than a common school
ing he must decide at the very be-
ginning when the child is no more
than nine or ten years OF age and
send him 10 special kind of school.
Only for the well-to-do is this posi-
bic, for tuition is high and the parent
must be able to support the boy thro'
a dozen years more of secondary and
higher studies and then have money
to launch him on his, life's work or it
is not worth while to make the ef-
fort. Through all these years the
boy is under teachers whose main
function is to train him to subsection
to the state. Even when he goes to
the university, which should be the
place for independent study and free
reflection, he is in any Prussian in
stitution under the care of teachers
every one of whom is appointed by
one central authority at Berlin, re-
sponsible directly to the Kaiser. His
success in school and university and
life depends primarily on his subser-
vience to the state. Business prosper
ity, professional recognition and soc
ial distinction are to be had only at
this price. And the young Geman
student knows it better today than
ever before. One hundred university
professors, his leading tel chers in
history, literature, philosophy and
science, acclaimed uieh enthusiasm in
1914 the beginning Of the most unjust
itlabIe war that has ever been declar-
ed by a civilized nation, and have
since condoned by their silence the
inconceivable and unforgivable brut-
atty and beastliness of their soldiers.
In the past generation thousands
of our young men have gone to Prus-
STA for special studies. Hereafter no
self-respecting and decent American
will want to study there, until many
years of suffering and expiration may
have purified the spiritual ,miasma
that smothers the German nation and
a new spirit regenerates a misguided
people.

"secret Enemy"
In 1908, when the revolutionary
Turkish government was for freedom,
Germany opposed it; when it became
tyrannical Germany made this govern
ment its ally. The German govern
ment harassed France not merely be-
cause it was it's ancient enemy, but
because its success as republic made
the French people perilous to princes.
The German government plotted to re-
store the Manchu Emperor and the
Russian Gar to their thrones.
Because the American people by its
prosperity and power made liberty
desired by all the world the German
government has been its secret enemy.
Thirty years ago it plotted against our
treaty rights in Samoa; it sent its
fleet to worry and threaten Dewey
at Manila in 1898; it offered to Eng
land, which refused, to overturn the
Monroe Doctrine in Mexico. It has in
fifteen years threatened Venezuela,
Mexico, Hayti and other American
states. When we were maintaining
peace under great provocation, it pro.
posed to Mexico and Japan to attack
us, both refusing. 1t betrayed inter-
national faith in the dispatches sent
through the Swedish Minister. 1t filled
our land with spies, sought unavailing-
ly to embroil us with those Of German
birth resident in this country, slaugh.

SATISFY YOUR
HUNGER With POTATOES
They Will Help Save the Wheat

By eating potatoes instead of wheat,
the people of Georgia can better help
win the war.
The situation, in brief, is this We
have not enough wheat for our Allies
and ourselves. We have an abundance
of potatoes, an excess of 100000
bushels over normal times. If we are
to win this war the Allies must have
wheat. The potato cannot quite come
up to wheat in food value, but it does
come about as close to taking the
place of wheat as any other food
Therefore, by eating potatoes we can
save wheat for the Allies.
Americans should rally to the sup
port of the potato, for, like corn, it is a
native Of this continent and is as thor
oughly American as the American In
dian. When it is realized that the
potato is one of the chief foods now
sustaining Germany and that the 9TH
er European countries are largely de-
pendent upon it, it's Importance in the
war may readily be seen. Yet the po-
tato was not known abroad until the
end of the sixteenth century when
both the English and Spanish intro
duced it from their American colonies.

after what Belgium suffered, to fight

Somme, rather than on the Hudson.
In one or the other we should have
had to fight. In 1776 we sent our sons
to fight for American liberty, and we
won it. In 1872 we fought for the
freedom of the sea, and we won that.
In 1861 we sent our sons to fight for
the liberty Of the slave, and we won
that. Today we send our sons out to
fight for the liberty Of humanity, and
we shall win that.
