GERMAN BLOOD TO BEAT
KAISER

EVERY drop OF blood in me is
German writes a Rockford, Ill.,,
man in letter to the army eXemp-
ton board. 81 think a good way to
whip the kaiser is to do it with Ger
man blood. Please draft me"
That's the proper spirit. 1t shows
a fine loyalty to American ideals
and also to German ideals It's
fundamentally logical, too, because
it recognizes that the job OF licking
kaiscrdom is essentially d job for
Germans.
We Americans and British and
French and Belgians are working at
it willingly enough, and we know
that we can win out 50 far as a
merely military victory is concerned.
But something more than military
victory is needed Germany needs
to win a victory over herself. The
decent, clear-hcaded people of Ger
man blood have got to wade in and
clean up the men and the system
that have dragged Germany through
the mire and made her a by-word
and a Kissing.
The more clearly this fact is rec
ognized and promulgated by Ger
mans outside Of Germany, the quick
er the Germans at home will get
busy and help.

industrial systems as in affairs OF
state. The freedom of the individual
is vital in democracy, but equally
so is its necessary limitation of non
interference with the liberty OF
others. And this principle must hold
IN financial and commercial as we'll
as in personal relations. The free
dom for which our father contended
was freedom of the mind, not lib
erty TO use stored-up wealth OF
widc-ranging combination as instru-
mentS of industrial or social oppres-
sion. The theory and practice of
cooperation must bind society to-
gether as it must unite the nations
OF the world. Fer equality, freedom
and justice to all men and all races
form the conditions under which
civilization may endure.
The great war must bring many
great changes. Behind every war
turks a revolution We may see
universal revolution or universal
collapse. The precepts OF Jesus and
the religion associated with His
name must have tremendous mean
ing or they will have none. The
hope of the world is that this mean
ing is real and that the inevitable
social revolutions may be bloodlesS,
while the Institutions they sweep
away may be precisely those which

The Stenographer.

She bends above the flashing keys,
With thoughtful brow and look
intent,
Sometimes perchance her fancy sees
The wondrous thing her work has
meant:
That daily ceaseless round she
keeps
OF duties done so faithfully,
AS meath her flying fingers leaps
The very pulse OF industry,
No senseless cog within the whole,
But at the heart OF toll she stands,
And feels its throbbing mind and
soul
Quicken at impulse Of her hands
Through distant climes her touch
may guide
Forces and lives she cannot know,
A restless, formlesS, human tide,
Bearing its treasures to and fro.
Brave hands upon the swift machine
What mighty future fates they
move
Faithful in little have they been
And faithful in the great shall
prove,
For in her country's vital hour,
When nations bleed and heroes
die,
With heart to dare and hands of
power,
The woman answers, "Here am
l."

THE DUTCH SHIPS.

Selling Holland, ships is a scri-
ou, matter 1t is torce applied to a
neutral nation, 1t is the first act OF
the sort that the allies have commit
ted. But it should be thoroughly
understood that there is moral and
legal justification.
The so-called Angarian Law, a
recognized part OF international ju-
risprudence, permits the seizure OF
neutral property by belligerent for
public use in emergency. Germany
ayailed herself OF that right in the
Franco-Prussion war, selling Brit
ish ships and using them i'll her op-
erations against France.
The moral right is stronger still.
The vessels are wanted primarily
to carry food. They will be used
by the United States in her great
task OF provisioning Europe, the
neutrals as we'll as the allies. 1t is,
in fact, Germanys persistent inter
ference with food shipments from
America TO her neutral neighborS
that constitutes the strongest Justi-
hcation.
Ship after ship has been sunk,
even when carrying Belgian relief
cargoes. and when carefully avoid
ing conflict with the arrogant block
ade laws laid down by Germany \
typical case is that OF the Spanish
freighter Cardino, recently torpe-
doed while carrying grain for Switz-
erland. She was engaged in non
war trade to a neutral nation. She
was en- route to a port to which Gar
many had promised safe passage,
She was outside the prohibited zone
The U-boat commander had exam
ined her papers, and knew absolute
" the nature and destination OF her
cargo. And he deliberately destroyed
her.
This flagrant ofense is merely an
other illustration of a lawlcss pro
gram upon which Germany has evi-
IDENTIFY determined. Her U-boat dep
relations are actuated by two prin'
ciples. First, she wants TO keel
food and military supplies from hel

By Major f. B. Edwards
OF the Second Canadian Mounted
Rifles.
Major Edwards has seen some
of the hardest fighting at the
front. lie has lost both hands
as a result Of engagements with
the enemy and was also wound
ed in the hip.
Why spare a shot when captur-

take a shot at you, thrust you
through with a bayonet, or fill you

In the Sanctuary Woods sector a
terrific bombardment preceded the
onrush of the Huns. On they came,
and our forces, $500 strong, were
literally torn - shattered by their
awful fire. But we stood by our
lines and fought back, inch by inch,
the advance OF the enemy, We had
our orders and stuck to them.
Our rifles were broken and we
were compelled to resort to hand to
hand fighting. We dubbed the
Huns with our guns, STABBED them,
fought them with our FISTS. The
enemy came on to us four lines
deep. Our front line and our sup
port were for 4 time wiped out or
badly damaged. We suffered 1900
casualties in two days fighting.
The reports that the Germans are
afraid Of cold steel are true. When
the Huns see our boys trotting to-
ward them with fixed bayonets they
generally throw down their weapons
and put up their hands.
The British have it on the Huns
in the fighting in mid-air. The Ger
man pilots are brave lot, but their
skill is inferior to that of the British.
| have seen many an enemy plane
or sausage balloon brought down
lin flames by a daring Britisher.
The physical fitness OF our British
and Canadian forces is Al. The
Swedish system which we follow
puts the men in the best shape with
out any weakening results. 1t is
superior to the German system. The
training includes instructions on
how to deal with an enemy when at
close range and in close quarters.
All the tricks known are employed.
