IF AMERICA LOST THIS WAR
BY HILDEGRADE HAWTHORNE.
OF the Viqilantes.

Have you, yourself, sat down to con-
slider soberly what 1t would mean II
Germany, and not we, should win the
war9
With the war won, she could hold
over us the threat of invasion-and we
know what invasion by the Prussians
means. But, beaten, we could not pre-
vent such an invasion, even though in
the long ending we might manage to
drive out the invader, for the country
is great. But If we did do this at last,
picture what the country we love
would be reduced to first. Stare at
the war pictures from France and Bel
gium and the invaded portions of Italy,
and you won't require much effort Of
the Imagination to visualize your own
town or village or peaceful farming
country under the Prussian heel.
If we, incapable Of resisting inva-
sion, yielded to the Prussian demands,
what would these be?
Germany wants much after the
wasting Of four years or nearly that
Of war. We should have to repay her
her losses by huge indemnities, which
would put staggering burden on all
Of us. We would live under threat,
a threat from the most brutal nation
the world has ever known. If we
bowed to that threat, and beaten ma
ton must bow, then the very spirit of
America, all we mean by the word life
as we interpret 1t, would lie murdered.
Better that we ourselves should die,
and our children with us. The hope of
our fathers, the work of us all, this
nation, our individual character and
freedom, all ended The price of Lib
erty has been paid by this nation twice
before. To fail now-to fail now!
Shall our noble dead have died in vain,
and we bow to the oppressor? Or
shall we bring freedom fully to earth
at last, and with the soldiers Of our
great allies see the dawn Of tomor-
row whose foundations were laid in
Yorktown and Appomattox, by men
whose blood runs in our veins, whose
hopes and beliefs are our own?
Think Of this when you are asked
to buy Liberty bonds or Thrift stamps.

Lusitanla Stoker, Injured in Service,
Three Brothers and Mother Killed

BY ALICE AVON.
OF the Viuilantes,

"I never went to school day in my
life and l never thought I would be
able to speak in public. But when you
lose three brothers "Over There" and
have your mother killed by those Ger
man devils In the streets of London,
well, guess you can do more than
you ever thought you could. And this
war certainly woke me upr
Thus speaks Tommy Ray, stoker Of
the Lusitania, in his talks to our boys
"Over There"
''See this arm," says Tommy, indi-
eating his right, "Well l hurt it for
good in the stoke hole and on account
of my operation they won't let me
fight. Can you imagine that? Not
let an Irishman fight? Well maybe
they can't let me fight but they can't
stop me from talking, and now that I
went to school day in my life, be-
lieve me, I'll talk. And I'll get every
mothers son Of you to volunteer and
lick those German devils Over There"
Tommy means it too. He even
promises all the recruits he gains, pass
ing the examination, three months to-
bacco in advance, a dollar a week,
newspapers and magazines. And after
that he intends to keep right on talk
ing. Let's help him. Even If we can't
supply tobacco in advance, or period
icals, we can talk. Not narrow mind
ed prejudiced talk, not hopeless silly
talk about If so and so did so, would
do so too, or even about what you
would do If you were Over There or If
you were in President Wilson's place.
Remember that every building must
have firm foundation If it would
brace the elements, every head must
be on strong shoulders to bear itself
erect. And so, we the fighters for
Principle, for Justice, for Liberty and
Democracy must be the shoulders for
Mr.. Wilson's head.
Let's talk. The best thing to talk
about now. Talk that will help.
mean, help Uncle Sam. Help you and
me and all those cover There" Let's
talk for the Third Liberty loan. Uncle
Sam will appreciate your giving, If it
be the buying Of many bonds or the
buying Of only one at $1.00 week.
And above all remember that you are
only investing your money and at Az
per cent too. And the investment
spells freedom for the world, so invest
and keep right on talking.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, April 29.-Five countries
are reported in the throes of revolt
or threatened with epoch-making up
risings. They are Russia, Austria,
Germany, Siberia and Finland.
Grand Duke Alexis, son of the for
mer Czar, is reported to have been
proclaimed Emperor Of Russia, with
Grand Duke Michael, brother of Mich
olas, as regent, and it is said that the
new government will refuse to recog-
nize the Bolshevist peace treaty with
Germany.
In Austria an anti-Emperor Charles
party has been formed to initiate
against the influence of the Empress
Zita. The southern Slavs are reviving
their agitation for separation from
Austria. May Day is expected to wit
ness a general labor strike and demon
stration for peace throughout Aus
tria and Hungary. Premier Won Seyd-
Ter of Austria has found his position
untenable on account of the exposure
of the Emperor's peace letter and his
tactless handling of the food crisis.
Austria, Bulgaria, Turkey, the
Czechs and Jugo-Slavs are already
Quarreling over what they consider
prospective spoils in the Balkans.
In Germany Herr Scheidemann de-
nounced the gagging of the press and
reports come of the masses crying for
peace
Finland upper classes are urging a
Kingdom" while the middle and low
er classes are fighting for republic.
With the British Army in France,
April 29.-By one of those back-to-the-
wall stands for which they have been
famous in this war, the Franco-Brit-
ish forces have saved the situation in
the Ypres sector from turning into
success for the Germans after the
loss by the allied forces of the domi-
mating peak of KENNEL.
The entire allied line in France and
Flanders still stands firmly. Nowhere
have the Germans been able to make
further dent In it. Hard fighting
has been in progress on the Ypres sec
tor, around Voormezeele, and to the
south of Locre. Both places have sew
eral times changed hands, but at last
reports Voormezeele had been recap
tured by the British, but the Germans
had obtained another foothold in Lo-
Gre. Voormezeele was taken by the
Germans Saturday, but the British in
a night attack won 1t back and since
have held it, inflicting heavy casual
ties on the Germans in renewed ef-
forts to take the place.
Thus the enemy was brought to
standstill, and Saturday morning did
not bring with it any resumption Of
his infantry attacks.
The Germans have tried at several
points along the front held by the
French to pierce the line, but every
where have been repulsed, notably in
the st. Mihiel and Luneville sectors,
where recently American troops were
stationed.
