Why We Fight
 No. { Because Csraeny for Years Sought to Uniermins Our Government

 We are fighting Germany for the right to live our own lives as we see fit. We are fighting for our laws, our ideas. our homes, eur institutions.
 'But how" one rlRy ask. "were all these things threatened by Germany before the war started? It is easy to see how they may be threatened now, fer if we are defeated we are lost, but before the war started did Germany menace these things we hold most sa- cred?"
 Let the Germans themselves answer. After you have read the evidence out of their own mouths, you may decide whether or not Germany planned to up- set our institutions, our ideals, our very mode of life.
 In 1901 the National German-Ameri- can alliance was formed in the United States. In 1907 it was incorporated by act of congress. Its charter is now being attacked in that same body. One of the objects of the alliance, as officially announced, was 'to check na- tivistic encroachments.' in other words, to keep the Germans from be- coming Americans. Another object was ''to awaken and strengthen the sense of unity among the people of German origin in America"
 ''This alliance" it's preliminary statement of aims concludes. lis pledged to bring it's entire organiza- tion to the support of any state fed eration which Is engaged in the strug- gle for any of these objects"
 It was pledged, in other words, to have it's members vote, not as individ- uals, but as German controlled units. for or against anthing of which they did not approve.
 The desire for resisting "nativistic encroachments," was particularly ab- horrent to American ideals, because the effort in this country has always been to keep politics free from racial or religious influences. Yet here was body, proclaiming itself German. in origin and thought. seeking to perpetu- ate this German feeling in the midst of America.
 From its very start the alliance sought to foment discord with England. It always spoke of the American press

That the kaiser's hate is deep for the English, there is no doubt. He is showing it now. That he hates the Americans, he will soon show. But of all his hates, his fercest must be for his ex-subjects in America, who have not carried out his plans which he so carefully laid. And let it be said that it will ever be to their credit and the credit of their posterity, that they remain loyal to their adopted country.

as the Ans,J-american" press, and 1t carried out long and well-directed campaign for the introduction of the German language into the schools and its use in civil life.
 ''rhe National Alliance" according to an issue of its official Bulletin be- fore this nation entered the war, ''is waging war against Anglo-Saxonism, against the fanatical enemies of per- sonal liberty and political freedom, it is combating narrow-minded, benight- cd know-nothingism the influence of the British. and the ensaving Puritan ism, which had it's birth in England"
 ''The race war which we will be compelled to go through with on Amer ican soil will be our world war;" said the New York Staats Zeitung In fight ing proposal to amend the New York constitution to make ability to speak and write the English language a requisite for suffrage.
 Ludwig Fulda wrote book, "Amer- ican Impressions" They were i'm pressions of German who had stud- fed this nation with view to seeing 1t ultimately Gcrpanized. German ization is synonymous with causing to speak German" he said, "and speak ing German means to remain German"
 Wherever there were signs of dis content, of q movement which might tend to disrupt this country, or any oil ,r-hi ~ ,f,rl,t G,,l commercial rival, the German-Ameri- can alliance was sure to be on the job. It gave support to the Irish American societies. because these soci- cites, before the war, were working for the separation of Ireland from Eng land, matter in which Germany, at that time, could have no legitimate interest. But Germany, even then, was preparing for war, and was doing every possible thing to weaken its coming enemies. X disorganized America, one filled with German re- servists, would be in no position to side with her enemies, Germany fig ured. On this subject the much-quoted Bernhardi wrote:
 "Measures must be taken at least to the extent of providing that the German element is not split up in the world, but remains united in compact blocks, and thus forms, even in for eign countries, political centers of gravity in our favor. The isolated groups of Germans abroad greatly ben eft our trade, since by preference they obtain goods from Germany: but they may also be useful to us politically, as we discover in America. The German Americans have formed a political al- liance with the Irish; and, thus, united, constitute a power In the state with which the American government must reckon"
 With the outbreak of the war in Eu- rope the actions of the German Amer ican alliance became bolder. The cam palgn for membership took on new vigor.
 Can we talk of peace with Ger many, that, even in times of peace, is trying to disorganize our country, fo- ment strife, and destroy our unity, simply because q strong. united nation on the other side of the world is not German? Can we make peace with country that fills our land with paid emissaIies in az effort to make It's iancragc Sunplan' our own? Can we talk of pe8cc Nhi'c a government that cons ders tisr vc.}d it's prey daml. n0t nC (spsptr.VY

PECULIAR FACTS ABOUT SIGHT
Adjusts Itself to the Light Surrounding 1t.

An ohservant chauffeur, passing an automobile with glaring headlights. noted that objects at the side of the road which had been distinctly visible dropped out of sight when the bright lights were thrown upon them. Since one can see better in a little light than in no light he wondered, why can one not see better in bright light than in moderate light?
 The answer is. paradexically, that the less light there k the better one sees. for the brighter the object the less efficient is the eyesight. If, after We have been in darkness. we sudden ly turn on q brigh. light and lock at our eyes in the mirror. we can see the pupil of the eve rapidly growing small CT. If We reduce the light the pupil dilates again. What happens is the same as in the camera when we adjust the shutter to the intensity of the light.
 The colored iris of the eye core spends to the shutter. It consists chiefly of a muscle which, as the light increases. is stimulated to contract thus drawing the curtain and shutting out some of the superfuous Hs,t IL usually takes q few seconds for this adjustment to take place Thus when we emerge from darkness into light we are blinded until the iris can shut out some of the light from the eyes.

.FOCH IN COMMAND
 OF ALLIED ARMIES
THIS MEANS UNIFICATION or ALL ARMIES OPPOSING
 THE GERMANS.
GEN. PERSHlNG OFFERS AID
All Our Resources Have Been Made Available and Our Divisions Win Be Used When Needed-French Are
 in Fine Spirit.

Washington.-Official information has reached Washington that General Foch, the French chief of staff, has been appointed to supreme command of all the allied and American forces in France
 This means unification of all the armies opposing the Germans. a step which the American and French mili- tary men have urged and which ap- parently has been brought about by recognition of the imperative demand for concentrated effort to hurl back the gigantic thrust of the enemy in France.
 The first hint of the historic devel- opment came in press cable dispatches telling how General Pershing had forces at the disposal of the French placed the American expeditionary commander This was confirmed in a message from General Pershing to the War Department
 General Pershing's message, made public by Major General March, act ing chief of staff, follows:
 Have made all our resources avail able and our divisions will be used if, and when needed. French are in fine spirit and both armies seem conf dent"
 President Wilson's message of con. graduation to General Foch follows:
 May I not convey to you my sin- eere congratulatia on your new au- thority Such unity of command is a most hopeful augury of ultimate success. We are following with pro found interest the bold and brilliant action of your forces"
 The British withdrawal before the German advance was made according to prearranged plan is s'all over now, :" Maj. Gen. J. Franklin Bell told the Senate Military Committee.

General Bell recently returned from the battle front. He was called by lIlt tOlIliIlltt u HUI IL Ilo III tulUEl o regarding conditions on the battle field He said the German generals re- gently were quoted as saying two months preparations were necessary for the present drive.
 T don't doubt but that it might have taken longer" he declared. There has been an impression, he said. that the allies were partly ignor- ant of German plans. but that he de nied, declaring he was informed confi- dentially of the allies preparations to face the Germans when he was there and declared that the British with drawal was according to a prearrang- ed plan.
 But should that go into the rec ord?" asked Chairman Chamberlain
 That's all right; it's all over now, . said the general.

Proverbs of Little Merit.

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" does injustice to the song that comes only from the bird un- caught-distortS the value of distance and the virtues of anticipation and pursuit, and serves as an excuse for ineXcuSable acquisition. Similarly. Tt is never foo late to mend lures many feet too far along the path of folly and sin--for there can be no mendne when delay has allowed the tattered garments to fall apart. Beware of the habit of mind that leads you to put re- lianee in half-truth proverbs. The age of a proyerh or the frequency of its usage, is no guarantee that it is so0rd at the core.

AUTO HAD HUMBLE BEGINNING
First "HorseIess Carriage" Would Be Regarded With Broad Smile by
 the Drivers of Today.

According to Ernest Saut, a French journalist. who has made q study of the history of the automobile. more than six centuries ago q man endeav- ored to build a "horseless carriage" As early as the thirteenth century a Parisian carriage maker worked upon 1t, and while not successful, his ideas were seized upon by noted scientists of the day, and much study was de voted to a fruitless research into the mechanical arts for machinery that would drive a vehicle by a series of springs and cords wound up like the works of a clock.
 In 17G9 q French mechanic, Joseph Cugnot, succeeded in propelling by steam a small wooden car of his own design, and developed it to a point where it drew a piece of artillery a mile in twenty minutes. This car burned wood and was able to carry enough fuel to keep it in motion for more than an hour. The unwieldy ma chine wrecked itself, however, and Cugnot lost heart in his work. A few years ago France erected a statue to him as the inventor of the horseless vehicle
 After the failure of numerous ex- periments in Eng.and and France shortly after the appearance of Cug- not's invention, the horseless vehicle appeared to have been perpetual mo- tion proposition until 1890, when new discoveries in steam machinery direct ed renewed attention to it. From 1880 to 1880 much progress was made, and some promising results were obtained. The invention of the four-cycle gaso- line engine by the Frenchman, Lenoir, paved the way for the successful auto mobile
