Cleveland, O., July 27.-An $751;
100000, 900 army bill for 1890 to
meet the vast increase in the military
establishment proposed by the War
Department was forecasted by Rep
resentative Kahn ,of.California, rank
ing minority member of the House
Military Committee lin an address
here to-day before the League OF
Republican Clubs.
This means additional Liberty
bonds" Representative Kahn said;
lit means additional taxation; 1t
means if it means anything, that the
American people must be prepared
to give their all. if need be. Per-
haps the time will come when every
individual in the United States VIII
have to content himself with the bar

everything he possesses or earns be-
yond those bare necessities to aid his
government.

valves of two or three cylinders had
broken or stuck.
But the pilot did not give up hope,
and succeeded in taking" the
whole way to the British lines over
the level sand. On the way he cross
ed a Turkish encampment, and his
undercarriage brought away clothes

The pilot was attacked by several de-
tachments armed with rifles and ma
chine guns, but they invariably fed
when he charged on them with his
machine gun. Two or three German
airplanes dived and fired bursts at
him but luckily hit no vital part"

SOLDIERS LETTER.
Camp Beauregard, La,
July 22nd, 1918.


The Hartford Republican,
I thought perhaps the people back
home would like to hear something
about army life although l don't
know very much about it my self yet
as have only drilled four days since
l have been in the service, have
been in the office as company clerk
and like my work fine. had real
interesting experience this morning
as my company. received seventy
four new men last night, who were
transferred from Camp Pike Ark. So
this morning after they had gone to
the drill area had to have roster
of them to be turned into the Per-
sonel Office and while taking the
names | came up to one fellow and
asked him his name and he said moth
ing. but came to find out he was
Frenchman and couldn't speak Eng
lish. but there was another French
man standing near by who could
speak the English language real well
but was not we'll enough versed
in the English language to spell the
name so not knowing French my
self, had to guess at the spelling of
his name.
Last week we all went to the rifle
range. a distance of about two and
one-half miles and believe me there
were sure some shooting done, each
man fired sixty shots at distance OF
from one to six hundred yards from
the target. / think the intentions
are now that next week we will go
to the artillery range, distance OF
twelve miles from camp, will have
to take the field desk along as the
whole battalion is going and will be
gone for a week, so the paper work
will have to go on just the same as
if we were in camp.
This sure is a warm place down
here, but the climate surely is agree
ing with me, as l weigh about eight
pounds more than when l entered
the service. Don't know when we
will go across the pond" and don't
think many are caring as all seem
anxious to get a shot at the old
Kaiser.
Would be mighty glad to see any
one from Ohio county step into my
tent here among the pines, so if any
of you ever come to this camp, just
hunt me up and will show you the
best time possible.
With best wishes to all back home !
and that the war will soon be over
and we boys can come back to our
Kentucky homes and the others to
their homes, must go, - Ms.- /,

- So
Real Policy Of Conquest.

Are German plans, as thus exposed,
but the empty vapOrings of irrespOn-
Sible braggarts? Ask the deported-
,workmen of Belgium, who have been
sent away TO make room for the set
Element of Germans on the frontier?
Ask the inhabitants of Posen, who
have suffered under German persecu-
ton for generations. Ask those sturdy
Frenchmen who still remain in Alsace
in spite of the German efforts to drive
them out. Ask the survivors of two
years of German occupation of Poland
whether or not deliberate starvation
qnd deportation do not mean that their
land must not be numbered with ma
tive inhabitants but must be given up
for German occupation. Ask the Ar
menians, those few of them who re-
main, hiding from the bloody Turks
differed by Germans.
Every nation which has felt the
weight of Prusslan power will an
swer in the same way. Their only
answer is that Deutschland ueber
Allies" means exactly Germany above
all"-means domination, persecution,
and gripping when determination is
impossible.
That is why America is in the war.
She sees Germany's plans to extend
her power until no one can resist II.
Protected, perhaps, for the time being,
by her isolation and her latent power,
from the immediate threat of German
conquest, America cannot sit idly by
and see nine-tenths of the world over
run by Prusslanism. knowing, as she
now knows, that her turn may come
later. America must fight, and must
fight to the finish, which means the
downfall of Prussian autOcracy and
the quenching forever Of the Prussiar
lust for conquest ..~-,~-,

That IL Is the intention Of Germany
to hold Belgium, thus gaining possess
sion of the channel ports and robbing
England of its control of that portion
of the sea which lies between her and
the continent, Is no longer left in
doubt. Baron Won Kissing, the first
German governor of conquered Bel
GUM, who stood high in the favor Of
the kaiser. and presumably expressed
his royal masters ideas. wrote, in his
Testament" shortly before he died,
as follows:
Anyone who knows as do now how
important Belgium is to Germany po-
litically, economically and strategical-
ly, would see how grievous a mistake
we should make were we to conclude
a peace which does not leave us mas
tiers of Belgium; for, whatever hap
pens, Belgium cannot be allowed to re-
main under Franco-British influence,
but, on the contrary, must be used to
enhance our power"
Holland Fears an Attack.
Holland remains a neutral nation.
Germany has declared no war on her,
but the troops Of Holland are mobi-
lized on the border and engineers
stand ready to cut the bikes and flood
the country. because Holland knows, as
does the world, that Germany plans,
as soon as she finds ii eXpedient, TO
take Holland. The mouths of the
Rhine empty into the sea through Hol-
land. Because the Rhine carries Ger
man trade, Germany holds that the
actual ownership of the entire river
from its source TO the sea is essential
to Germany. "Die Wacht am Rhine"
obsolete MS it is on the upper reaches
of the river. still means something in
the North, and Germany has set her
heart on controlling the river from the
Alps TO the sea, of terrifying its
mouths, and making il in reality as in
song the German Rhine"
