at high tide. that irresponsible per-
sons and lovers of publicity will be
swept into power.
Recently woman, twice honored as
president OF a great patriotic organ
ization. has been indicted in New
York for petit larceny and conspiracy
in the last of which her two sons We're
made codefendants. Another woman
equally prominent was forced to re-
sign from a womsns organization for
abuse of trust. The first instance in
volved war charity in which the So
ciesy had a $3.50 contract with soli-
citors, a method which should discred-
it any philanthropic enterprise, espec-
tally war charity.
The public is partly responsible for
supporting such organizations. People
of large means contribute to causes
without giving them sufficient inquiry.
Others lend their names as honorary
officers to societies whose title and
purpose sound well, but which they do
not take the time to investigate
Herein lies one OF the best features
OF such an organization as the Rookie
teller Foundation, which distributes
millions annually, but never appropri-
ates a single dollar without as careful
investigation as would be given to a
purely business enterprise.
America has always been famous
for generosity, and the American pub
/ lie is ready to give today as never be-
fore. The safe thing is to give to the
big organizations whose management
is unquestioned and which report to
the public, such organizations as the

long as it holds this present pol icy and carries on its present war. !. Germany, as at present dis posed, is the willful and deliberate eAemy of the human race" (Jo- siah Royce.)
 But If there be any who have not thls larger vision of the issues or the war-who are not moved 10 stake all on the abtract JUSTICE of our cause-then let them ask themselves what SELF-RESPECT AS A NATION demands of Amer- ca. AND OF TRUE AMERICANS, under the treatment we received from Germany.
 When the European war came tn 1914, and while we were still neu- tral. what insult was not heaped up- OF Our self-reSpect? The Aus tr!an Ambassador, Dumba, plotted to organize strikes i'm our munitions factories, and to buy up agttators to inc.te workmen to discontent. Ger man spies, now convicted and in jal, have admitted that they work ed under the direction of hgh Ger mnn officials to commit actS In violation of our neutrality. Some Of these same officials have ad- mitted the expenditure of millions .os dollars in illegal operations conducted in direct defiance Of cur laws, and in insolent disregard os international diplomatic courtesy. The catalogue of German crimes> in America. and Of German agents amongst us, WHILE WE WERE STILL NEUTRAL, if published in full. would be astounding almost to disbelief.
 The German acts have startled us at last to the knowledge that the nation which permits them without resentment IS NO NATION in that essential quality of patriotism - selr-respect. Without that qual- ity. We are but mass of disorgan ized peoples, having no influence in wolld affairs. and ultimately at the mercy of that stats which best knows how to carry On shame less intrigue amongst us. Germany is that state. We are fighting in the hope of saving the world from her immoral ideals; BUT WE ARE ALSO FIGHTING TO RESTORE OUR SELF-RESPECT.

WHY WE ARE AT WAR WITH
 GERMANY
 By EPHRAIM DOUGLASS ADAMS Executive Head, History Department Leland stanford Junior University
WE FIGHT FOR PEACE AND FOR
 SELF-RESPECT

What sort of a peace does Ger many hope To secure? That can be answered in a sentence: a pe'Ice which will enable her TO FULFILL IN THE NEXT WAR THE AIMS SHE HAS FAILED TO FULFILL IN THIS. What is the peace the Allies wisho Again the answer is brief: q peace that will make sure that "f. shall not happen again.
 This war has already KILLED tnot maimed or wounded) over S,OOO,0OO young and vigorous men, yet Germany still believes that war is essential to human progress, and that any act. however atroctous, is permissible so long as it is au act Of war. Against that theory Ameri- Co has set her will.
 Does anyone still doubt that Germany believes in war? Here are four leaders of Germany speaking: Perpetual peace is dream. and t is lot even a beautiful dream; war forms part of the eternal or der instituted by God" A long peace not only leads to enervation' but allows Of the existence of a multitude of pitiful trembHng,' miserable creatures who cling fas; to life with loud Cries about their right to exist. block the way for real strength, make the air fetid. and altogether defile the blocd of the nation" The worst Of hypoc7isies is the participation by Germany in The Hague Confer ence." "We must not look for permanent peace as a result of this war. Heaven defend Germany from that" And Treitschke, the historian-tutor to the military cl"ss cf Germany, taught over and over again that war was the only means of achieving world leader shlp; tEas war lis to be conceived as aA ordinance set by Cod; that war is just and moral, and that the tdes Of eternal peace is both unjust and immoral and impos- sihle.'' |
 These theories, put in practice, have made of Germany the Cain of civilization - his against every mans hand" In self-defense and in mere SELF-RESPECT, America wss forced to strike back. We could not sit still when we realized that it was our duty ito be and to remain the Out-spOken moral op- ponents of the present German pol icy, 2pG gG the German state, sq

A Bit Of Advice
First Don't Delay. Second-Dont t
 Experiment..

If you suffer from backache; headaches or dizzy spells; If you rest poorly and are languid in the morning; if the kidney secretions arc irregular and unnatural in ap- nearance, do not delay. In such cases the kidneys often need help.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are especially for kidney trouble-they are recommended by thousands. Read the following interesting statement.
 Mrs. NJ. E. Gagen, 1O13-A Flori- da St, San Francisco, Cal, says: q had dropsy and other kidney trouble and was miserable. My back couldn't have given me any mere misery if had broken 1t. My kidneys were weak and my feet, ankles and hands became swollen, as a result. I felt so miserable, run down and depressed I was discouraged. l could hardly bend over because my back hurt me so much. Doan's soon strengthened anG regulated my kidneys. The swelling, went away and I was again well and had all my former strength"
 Price COG, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Gagen had. Foster-Mi- burn Co.,, Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

as Wartime Example.

Hereafter the Searchlght Club of
the Y. NJ G. A. will give up dinners
that have been served for several years
preceding each meeting Of the club.
The club members present Monday
night voted practically unanimously to
discontinue the meals during the period
of the war While it was mai/ained
that the rules of conservation were OBJ
served in serving the meals, and that
there was no waste of food. still it was
thought that the club should give up
the meals as an example Of its willing
ness to sacrifice while the war is on.
Practically all the members pledged
to support the club and attend its
meetings without meals being served
to bring the men together.
Judge Walter L. Smith. of Council
Bluffs. Of the circuit court Of appeals.
made n short patriotic address before
the club after the meal. Judge =. +.
Cummings introduced tho visiting
Judge. Judge Smith urged united CT
fort ard combined participation and
enthusiasm in all war measures aimed
TO bring about n final and crushing dc.
feat of the Prussian military power.
The Judge is against returning to Ger
many any of her foreign colonies. He
favored compulsory investment in War
bonds by compelling payment OF the IN
yestment as taxes.
