While Gerard was our ambassador
in Berlin, the Kaiser said to him one
day that he would stand no nonsense
from America after the. war.
Do you know what that means? II
means that the Germans intend to
subjugate this country II they come
out Of this war Victorious.
The German Imperial government
has preached the superiority of Ger.
many to all the rest Of the world un.
til the German nation Is drunk with
megalomania. One Of their great
writer's expressed the prevailing. OF.
ficial view In 1908. when he wrote:
THE Teutonic race is called upon
to circle the earth with its rule, to ex.
plot the treasures OF nature and OF
human power. and to make the pas.
sive races servient elements in its
cultural development Who
ever has the characteristics of tho
Teutonic race Is superior. All tho
dark peoples are mentally inferior, be-
cause they belong to the passive
races. The cultural value Of q nation
is measured BY the quantity Of leu.
tonism II contains.
Are you one OF the darker races!
Are you willing to be rated as one
of the "servient elements" in Ger.

You began to be one OF the "servi.

were slaughtered as they carried your

MOI
Never since the Turks threatened
to overwhelm Europe was the world
in such danger as now. Germany
must be defeated this year. Unless
we win, our place in the world il
lost, and our history as one Of the
'servient elements" begins. We must
withhold nothing from tho support Of
the war. We must give our sons. We
must bring forth food in abundance.
We must give into the treasury Of the
United States every cent we can
spare.
This summer the support Of the war
Is up to the farmers; and Uncle Sam
has never called upon the farmers IN

ONE CURE FOE DIsL0YALTY
Cure That II Used in Many Cases
With Good Eject.

There are many places in Minnesota
where disloyalty exists and some of
them are not asking for much help in
dealing with it. The "cure" is rough in
many cases but after reasonable argu-
ment fails and information given is not
accepted in the effort to bring about a
change of heart, the drastic method ap-
peals to lOyalists as the only recourse
left.
In one instance a member of a GER
tain gang pulled Red Cross button
Oft young mans coat and threw it in
to a spittoon with a curse. He was
"beaten to a pulp" by crowd of loyal
lists. put in Jail, fined 500 and costs,
made to sign pledge and this proved to
be plenty. This had a very salutary
effect on the balance Of the disloyal ele-
ment and they began to seek information
on the war and its causes in conscien-
tious manner.
The time is coming when even a dis
loyal utterance or lukewarm attitude
will be resented by the American peo-
Pile in every section. There is no half
way" citizenship that can live in these
times.
The Public Safety Commission is glad
to assist it's county units in handling all
sedition and disloyalty. The Commits
sion has every confidence in the integ-
rity and judgment Of the county dtrec-
tors and in most cases 1t is found that
the organization has been great inf1u-
ence about a change in dislOyal senti-
ment and Furnishing open sedition.-Pub-
lie Safety Commission.

NC NALLY CALLED TO
YELLOW MEDICINE

Yellow Medicine county has offered
Mr.. Mentally, formerly of Willmar, the
position of county agricultural agent.
Candy, Hanley Falls and Granite Falls
offered to furnish free Office with heat
and equipment provided the agent be
located in their town. The county COM
misstoners and officers of the farm bur
eau felt that the agent should be CEN
trally located and decided that Clark
field answered that description. Mr.. Nc
Nally was offered the position of agent
at 1000 a year. He graduated from the
agricultural department of the. state
university in 1909. After that he was
at the head of the agricultural depart.
ment of the Mcintosh high school. At
ter that he held q similar position for
several years at Willmar. However, the
possibilities of farming appealed to him
so greatly that he went to farming
near Mcintosh. While still owning his
farm and the stock upon it he has now
for some months been in the employ Oh
the Federal government in behalf OF
greater food production. Thus viewed
from every angle it seems that the
choice of Mr.. McNally as county agent
is a wise one.-Montevideo News.
