But there are stronger proofs. One
of them is the meddlesomeness of the
Berlin government. The Kaiser once
remarked that nothing must go on
anywhere in which Germany does not
play part" For a long time before
1914 the Empires staggering, saberr
rafting habits kept all Europe in fear
OF the terrible thing that finally hap
pened. More than Once-aS when the
kalSer'S government tried to form d
coalition Of European nations against
rs in 1898 to prevent our going to the
relief Of Cuba-Our own country has
felt the sting Of this German desire to
have hand in everything.
But ii any one still doubts that the
German purpose was to rule at all
costs let him consider the Empires
record in army and navy building, and
it's attitude toward the reduction Of
ornaments From the days of Bis
marCk, every interest was subordina-
ted to the ends of military efficiency.
AS late as 1918 the army-although
already much the largest in western
Europeans increased at stroke by
! 100000 men. Beginning in 1893, q gl-
gantic navy was built up, with view
so men in high position freely said
| to Germany'S future control OF the
seas.
Flu theTmore, the Kaiser's govern
ment perSiStently blocked all prOpOS-
ais for a reduction OF ornaments. In
! teInatiOnal conferences were held at
the Hague in 1899 and 1907 to discuss
this subject. But Germany both
times prevented action. Her delegates
at the first conference declared that
big ornaments are not burden but
privilege; and shortly before the
| second the Kaiser told King Edward
| VII Of England that he would go to
war rather than allow disarmament
to be discussed. English proposals il
! 1912 and in 1913 that the two powers
take holiday" from bodybuilding
for one year met no response.
Here is striking fact In the
! spring Of 1914 representatives of Great
Britain and Germany signed a treaty
settling all territorial disputes be-
| tween the two nations on terms so
| favorable to Germany that a leading
German imperialist writer, Rohrbach,
was moved to pronounce the treaty
astonishing and to add that it met
every reasonable demand. Yet Ger
many was not satisfied, and within

war.
She knew, as all the world now
knows, that the international arrange
ments at which she was aiming were
, of such a character that no nation
could be made to accept them until
brought to its knees by force.
] Macmillan Harden, the most fear
less of German editors, knew whereof
he spoke when he wrote, in Deem
! ber 1914: mot as weak-willed blum
derers have we undeIta the fearful
risk of this war. We wanted it"

GERMAN PEOPLE
ARE PREPARED
FOR FAILURE
Government Admits Prob
ability Of Failure to Win
This Year.

WASHINGTON, June 26-Germany
10 preparing her people for failure to
win this year by an extensive propa-
ganca setting forth that in the event
German armies are not able to over
run France this year the situation
next year will be better still for Ger
many than 1t was at the beginning OF
the present offensive. and that a
movement will be made then to put
France entirely out Of the war.
A summary of the propaganda
reached the State Department today
through a neutral country. 1t sug-
gests that Germans released from the
army after the war will be able to
give impetus to German submarine
construction that will offset what the
American and English can do to build
up their commerce.
It says also after the present war
Germany will be able to inaugurate a
campaign and successfully attack
Egypt and India.
Information also was received to-
day from German interned officers
that in letters recently received from
Germany a decided change in public
opinion is shown regarding prowess
OF the Central Powers. and great sur
prise is caused by the attitude Of
American soldiers Of German origin
who are loyal to the cause Of the
allies.

Mother of Ten Offers
Services to Red Cross
(By Associated Press)


INDIANAPOLIS, June 26.--"I see In
the Herald you want nurses for the
soldiers. l want to know II you will
accept my services. I am unframed,
but have had great deal OF expert
ence, having raised ten children, the
youngest past ten years, and four boys
in the United States army. two Of
them in France with A. E. F. l am
fifty-nine years old but think moth
Ing would give me more pleasure than
to nurse the soldiers who are fighting
for humanity. Please answer"
The letter was received by the Bu-
reau Of Nursing of the Lake Division
OF the American Red Cross headquar-
tiers. and a copy sent here. The SER
vices offered in this particular case
had to be refused, it was explained,
regardless OF the urgent need for
nurses, as only graduate nurses can
be. accepted for active service.
