London, Jan. "a dispatch to the Daliy
Mail from The Hague says it is reported
that some of the passengers on the Hell
Iand-America liner Nieuw Amsterdam
have received anonymous warnings not
to sail for the United States on her. The
correspondent adds that the warnings are
similar to those issued before the Lusi-
tania was sunk.
Guarantee Declined
Adyices received from Amsterdam last
Saturday credited the Telegram as saying
that the Nieuw Amsterdam was still ly-
ing at Rotterdam because the German
government had declined to give guar
antee for her safe crossing of the Attain

We do not begrucge the dollars

Once We get the machinery set up

LET THE GUNS DO 1T.

Guns and airplanes, says Gouver-
neur Morris, who has been visiting
the front in France, will blast a way
to Berlin, and that without consider
able casualties. About twenty thous-
and American heavy guns and ten
thousand American airplanes will do
the business, he says.
The necessity is guns and explosive
shells. airplanes and bombs. 1t is
merely matter of enough of them
and to spare. To accumulate enough
means manufacture, transportation,
supply on an immense scale. But
the problem is one of production and
delivery, an industrial and distr:hu-
ton problem, in fact. If it can be
solved. the military problem is sim
Pile. Pour enough explosives upon a
given area to annihilate all resistance
in that area. Occupy the area, bring
up the guns, employ the planes, and
repeat the process with the succeed
ing area. Continue until the Rhine
Is in sight.
Something like that appears to be
the net result of all the military ex-
pertinent and experience of this war
The Germans blew in the Russian
Dunajac front, that was the first ex-
ample Of the method on the Ailette
before Loan. 1t kills off the enemy
and requires minimum of casualties
for the offensive. 1t is slow but sure
1t can be continued as long as sup
plies are Forthcoming, and nothing
wristbands its creeping advance.
II the Germans used masses in close
formation in their desperate attacks
before Cambria and in Italy, it was
because their deluge of shells was
lacking and they had to supply tho
deficiency with waves of men. Sc
desperately are they in need of quick
victory that no number of men used
up gives them nause. But they
themselves discovered the correct
method after thel failure to carry

THE BEAST UNMAsKs.

History never held blacker hypo-
critic than Germany, talking to dis
tracted Russia about mo annexations,
no indemnities and the self determi-
nation of peoples"
Now that the attempt to rob Russia
by diplomatic hocus-pocus apparently
has failed, the German burglar stands
forth in the open.
What Germany proposes is to steal
from Russia, because it has the power
to take and Russia lacks the power
to resist, a vast area Of territory
peopled by millions, and hundreds Of
miles of Russia's small coastline.
Germany wants the Baltic provinces
and Lithuani. It already has Po-
land. The Baltic provinces, Lith-
uania and Poland include about $780,
900 square miles-about the size Of
Minnesota, North Dakota. Connecti-
cut, Delaware and Maryland combin-
ed-and are the homes Of 10000, 900
people.
From this America and the world
may learn, if they do not already
know, what mercy to expect Of q
victorious Germany.
From this America and the world
may learn what their fate will be il
they do not resolve. cost what it may,
to smash forever this brigand among
nations.
What Germany is to do to Russia
is what Germany did to Austria when
it took Silesia. It is what Germany
did to Denmark when it took Schles-
wig Holstein. It is what Germany
did to France when it took Alsace-
Lorraine. It is what Germany, Aus
tria and the czar-dominated Russia
did when they dismembered Poland
and divided her territory among them
selves. It is what Germany did to
Belgium. Luxembourg and northern
France in its first great drive in 1914
If the community of Duluth had
running wild in its midst desperate
who did such deeds as these, it would
seek no peace nor rest nor surcese Of
sacrifice until it had run him to earth
and hung him by the neck until he was
dead.
America and the civilized world, in
self-protection and for the sake of
their children, can do no less with the
brigand Germany.-Duluth Herald

THE BURIAL OF GENERAL WOOD

Llyod George was anxious to know
what had happened to Leonard Wood,
where he had been buried, and why
he was not in Washington or Paris
He wanted him on the Allied War
Council as our representative. He
was insistent on that point .-Testi-
mony of Representative Medill Nc
Cormick Before Senate Military A.
fairs Committee.
The burial Of Major General Leon
ard Wood, senior officer Of the Unit
ed States Army, and esteemed by
many European experts as America q
greatest soldier, was ordered bv Sec
rotary Baker. Like a good soldier,
General Wood obeyed orders without
question and retired to his tomb in
an instruction camp. Since then he
has been permitted to go to France
to study war problems.
But the reasons for the War De-
partment's failure to avail itself of
his knowledge and skill, to utilize the
profitable investment the Government
had made in him, do not elude the
American public, even if incompre-
hensible to foreign statesman like
Lloyd George.
The head and front Of General
Woods offending, aside from his long
standing friendship with Colonel
Roosevelt, was his fearless and out.
spoken advocacy of preparedness in
the early days of the war, when the
President and his War Secretary
were confirmed pacifists.
The event has proved the soundness
OF General Woods contentious, but
the Administration has been unable
to forgive him for being right. His
punishment would be no great mat
ter, if it did not deprive the Country
OF the services in an important way
of so valuable man.

THE NATIONS WAR.

This is not the Presidents war
Neither is it the Democratic party's
Nor the war Of the Democratic and
Republican parties combined. It is
not the Senate's war, nor the war
of both Houses of Congress.
The war is too big for the Presi-
dent alone. 1t cannot be monopolized
by the Democratic Party. Even if it
were not the Nations war, it is an
undertaking too enormous to be car
ried on by any separate agency. 1t
requires the whole ability of the
United States as well as the whole
resourcefulness.
A Republican Administration and a
partisan organization conducted the
Spanish War as sort of private un-
dertaking, much as the Mexican War
was conducted by a Southern Demo-
cratic President and Party. But
these enterprises were small compare
lively. This war is too great to be
confided to any group, however, able
and patriotic, to be directed by par
ty IN power or a section in the saddle.
1t was natural for the President to
seek to prosecute the war along the
lines of party responsibility, if not
advantage. He was a Democratic
President and the war looked like a
Democratic business. Nor, if the
Democratic Party and the Southern
leadership had been competent to con-
duct the war, would there have been
serious objection. The Country elect.
ed its President and would stand be-
nlnd nm. But not even the greater
competency of the Republican PARTY
would have suffered for the supreme
emergency. No partisanship. not the
ablest and most efficient, is ADEQUATE.
Nothlng short of the whole power of
American brains, resources and devo-
ton can be equal to the task.
We need not be surprised if the
requirements of the greatest crisis in
history compel us to an organization
of our whole administrative machin-
cry. Great Britain has been com
PEELED to reorganize all her system
and the resources behind that. She
has been compelled to abandon par-
tisan government, to forget class and
section and persons, and to merge
parties and interests into nationality
1t might be good for US, if we were
compelled to do the same.
We may take it from the President
that Secretary Baker has done well
We can believe that wonders have
been accomplished; that more are on
the way. We can be assured that
patriotism and capacity have been
manifested at Washington in high de-
gree. 1t is no condemnation of the
Administration to perceive that des-
pite the best endeavors and devoted
services, the present machine is not
capable of functioning commensurate
~ With the requirements. It is giant &
work to have to perform and our
present system is a pigmy. We must
have machine at least as big as the
job. A Rocky Mountain tunnel can
not be driven through with pickax and
shovel. Neither can this war be won
by Nineteenth Century methods and

Is THE KAISER INSANE,
B. H. Hayes, N. D.

Kaiser Wilhelm usually refers to
God in his speeches. He even equals
constituted religious leaders in this
characteri1tis. Henry Morganthau
has produced the evidence .:6hqVing
that the kaiser on July s, 1914, an
nounced to his most trusted subordin-
ates the plan to launch 1T onoesa war
upon Europe. This was more than
three weeks before the wars out
brak. At his council Of German
leaders in Berlin Wilhelm gave his
final orders concerning the impending
catastrophe. The financiers were the
only leaders found pnprepared. They
asked and were granted three weeks
IN which to sell foreign securities.
The records Of the stock markets of
the world for that period show the re-
sulting slump. After the meeting
the kaiser resumed his vacation trim
trip along the coast Of Norway. Ny
belief is that while the kaiser 10 q
religious man. yet he prepared and
participated the war largely because
OF his personal religious views.
As far back as our war with Swain,
German officers were giving warnings
to our citizens that Germany ut . Ger
tain date would make conquest Of
America and the whole world. Tho
kaiser has told US in one Of his writ
ings that he has held since childhood
as his guiding ideal, the lives Of Ave
men who attempted and nearly achiev.
ed world conquest. He adds that
while they failed he would succeed
through the atronofh ~ ~. U-.:.
fist" About q dozen years ago The
kaiser caused to be built on the TOP
OF the Mount Of Olives in Palestine
an imposing "Hospiece." An Amer
lean missionary, DR.. Ussher, was told
by the governor Of the building that
it had been erected to be .Arst thu
home Of the governor Of Palestine,
and later to be the palace Of the.Ger-
man emperor Of tn world. The k.i-
scr in this diplomatic manner wss
passing along to another Of the Lordas
amounted the important secret that
he 1.-THE kaiser) was soon to be pro-
noted. The American at this point
laughed and got no more information.
A state paid clergy has taught the
people Of Germany exactly % The
kaiser directed. They therefore BE-
lieve the emperor is much more than
the governing head of the nation
he is their prophet, priest and leader
Count Leo Tolstoy in the year
1900, commenting on the kaiser's
Hun" speech, wrote that Wilhelm
should be placed in q lunatic asylum
The count was q careful observer with
the means for securing adequate in
formation. I agree with the count.
