THE WAR, THE FARM

BY Herbert Quick
Member Federal Farm Loan Board

While Gerard was our ambassador
In Berlin, the Kaiser said to him one
day that he would stand no nonsense
from America after the war.

means that the Germans intend to
subjugate this country IL they come
out OF this war victorious.

megalomania. One of their great
writer's expressed the prevailing. Of

ploit the treasures of natur and OF
human power. and to make the pas
sive races ssryient elements In it's
cultural development Who
ever has the characteristics OF the
Teutonic race Is superior. All the
dark peoples are mentally inferior, be-
cause they belong to the passive
races. The cultural value OF a nation
Is measured by the quantity OF Teu-
tonism It contains"
Are you one Of the darker races?
Are you willing to be rated as one
OF the "servient elements" in Ger
many's cultural development?
You began to be one Of the "servi-
emit elements" when peaceful people
we're slaughtered as they carried your
produce to market. Was It because
you belonged to a passive race"

roar OF a hundred thousand cannon

Never siEse the Turks threatened
to overwhelm Europe was the world
in such danger as now. Germany
must be defeated this year. Unless
we win, our place in the world is
lost, and our history as one Of the
"servient elements" begins. We must
withhold nothing from the support OF
the war. We must give our som We
must bring forth food in abundance.
We must give into the treasury OF the

spare.
