Captain FAllDni speaking to
fifty business men last week, gave
an outline of the causes leading up
to the war, that ought to be in
the hands Of every loyal American.
Certainly nothing that we could
write for this war column would
be more to tho point than this.
We do not vOpch for the &C
curacy Of the dates or for the CON-
pleteness of the quotations. But
as near as we can remember, 1t
went something like this:
The present war began In lS60.
1.-The little country Of Prussia'-
wholly agricultural and smaller In
area than Colorado = produced
man who, had he gone into busi-
ness would have been Q Schwab or
Carnegie This man was Bis
mark. He elected to enter poll
tics and by so doing, gave the first
impetus to events that have shaken
and are shaking the entire world.
"Bismark called his business
men together and made them q
proposition. Ours is wholly an
agricultural country he said. We
are without sea ports; wtthouu
raw materials and without manu-
featuring industries. AS things
stand now, we will never have these
things. We pay about S per cent
on our capital invested with no
chance Of an increase, whereas Eng
land and American-great indus
trial natiOns-have almost unlimit-
ed resources and pay fabulous di-
vidends. We must change this con-
dition and this can be done in but
one way-by territorial acquisition.
Obviously since our neighbors are
stronger in men and resources, we
can acquire this territory only by
MAKING A BUSINESS OF WAR"
"Bismark's advice, was found good
and his policy adopted.
First, to secure an outlet to the
sea!
Following out the make bust
ness OF war program, guns and am-
munition had been imported from
England and America-great sleep
ing giants of nations-and the time
being auspicious, q paltry excuse
was found and Denmark invaded.
The Danes fought to defend their
little country. smaller than Prowers
County, but they were not pre-
pared. Bismarks hosts soon had
them at their mercy and the Keil
Canal was the result.
Next, fuel must be secured!
There was none in Prussia but
AUSTRIA poor, foolish. debaYched
Austria with its cities Vienna and
Budapest, famous for their license
and vice-had coal fields in abun-
dance. Another excuse was found
an invasion made-and Austria
came under the Prussian dOmina-
ton.
But for manufacturing. iron and
other metals were necessary. These
were to be found in Alsace and
Lorraine, under the rule of disturb
ed, licentious, atheistic France. An
Other invasion! Another seizure of
territory! And Bismark had what
he desired-the wherewithal to
make world power.
And then came the time of the
present Kaiser, William II. Bis
marks teachings had made their
impression, but William was even
more ambitious. He looked out
for new worlds to conquer-dream-
ed OF q wOrld-empire-of a middle
Europa" under the Prussian rule
and domination.
This of couse meant big war
a world war-and there must be
adequate preparation.
so a giant educational campaign
was begun propaganda is the term
by which we know it, Every Ger
man was taught to worship q new
God-his Kaiser. Government con-

dicatiOn that q vigorous campaign
will be launched in spite of the war
times and In spite Of the hopes

assembly tried hard to secure COM
promise and the Holly delegates to
the Democratic assembly, assisted
by few other prominent Demo
Gratis, made q brave fight to re
spond to the Republican request
but wssesvosed down decisively.
1t is to be regretted that the two
parties could not get together in
this campaign and that the fric-
tion which such campaign brings
could not be avoided at this time
when a united and an undivided
devotion to the great national
cause is SO imperative If the most
is to be accomplished
The tickets as named show q lib

the day will be the biggest of the
