GERMAN IDEA OF
TRIUMPH NOW TO
"HOLD OUR OWN"
No Moment More Unfavorable
For Germany Than Now,
Crown Prince Says

Amsterdam, Sept. 4.-The German
idea of victory as defined by the Ger
man Grown Prince. in an interview
published IN tho Budapest Az Est, is
an intention Ito hold sour own and
not let ourselves be vanquished." The
Crown Prince is quoted as saying
that this was clear to him the mo-
ment England entered the war.
The Crown Prince denied he was
a fire eater" and continued:
If Germany had wanted war we
should not have chosen this moment.
No moment could have been more
unfaverabie for Germany"
In reply 10 the question as TO how
he thought the end of the war would
come, he replied: Through the
enemy perceiving the colossal stake
which they are not equal to the win
ming. and that they cannot win as
much ms they are bound to lose"
In discussing the present opera
tons on the western front. the
Crown Prince said:
The enemy attacks and the with
drawal on our front at several places
are often wrongly interpreted in
some circles. Some of our people are
too accustomed TO a continuous ad-
vance and when a battle occurs
wherein the enemy attacks and we
have 10 defend ourselves, the situa-
ton not always is correctly under
stood. In Judging the situation, both
military and political. we must never
forget one thing-that we are waS-
ing n war of defense. The war is one
of annihilation only for the enemy,
not for us. We want to annihilate
none OF our enemies. We mean, how
ever. 10 hold our own"
Regarding the American forces in
France the Crown Prince said:
"I've found that the majority don't
know what they are fighting for. but
we feel. OF course, the effect of the
entry of the Americans. They have
sent over very much material and
now are sending very much human
material"
I'VE speak openly of victory" the
Crown Prince said. THE word VIC
tory must not be understood to mean
that we want to annihilate the
enemy but only that we mean to hold
our own and not let ourselves be
vanquished. The moment England
entered the war that was clear to me
and I always emphasized it"
When the interviewer remarked
that the Crown Prince was consid-
cred abroad as fire-eater' he an
swered:
IT am aware OF these occusations.
Do I need to say that not a word of
them is true

ARE BEYOND 81
President Wilson Summons
March and Crowder For
Conference

those operating the selective machin-
cry.
There will be some changes, how
ever, in the details relating to men
engaged in certain industries, and
more especially to men of more ma
ture age included in the new regis
tration.
But what these are the government
is not prepared to announce, but it
is believed that rules to cover all
questions that can be foreseen now
will be sent to draft boards within
few days. General March and Cen
eral Crowder conferred with Presi-
dent Wilson for an hour to-day. They
were summoned by the President,
who wished to familiarize himself
with all details of the manpower

made which will automatically ex-
empt railroad men and coal miners

men within the age limits of the new

Vost Marshal General Crowder Any

A Great Change
Enters Into Life
Of Storekeeper

A certain unassuming gentleman
in this city who happens to be
prominent dealer in furniture and
who up to few weeks ago had be-
come a recluse because of his phvs-
ical condition tells this remarkable
and most interesting tale:
For a number of years. he said.
II have beer so closely confined to
my business, working jealousy to
make my store representative in ev
cry respect, that wear and tear
finally got me, my face became
drawn and haggard and my disposi-
ton seem~d to urge people to evade
me. 1t was then that / began to
despise my own company. My book
keeper, who has been with me a
long time, one day suggested that 1
needed a rest and that my nerves
required attention. She told me that
her father had been in the state of
health which l was experiencing and
that he had taken Phosphated Iron.
Look at him now,' she said. He
works ten hours a day and appears
to be the happiest man in the
world, which he believes he is, he
says
"Al this happened less than a
month ago. I followed the advice,
and look at me now. Back in the
harness with smile all the while.
I am feeling more fit than ever.
When I see tired-looking face the
name of Phosphated Iron immedi-
ately comes in my mind. 1 am con-
vinced that it is converting mary a
worn-out body into a life rich in
thought, ambition and enthusiasm"
Special Notice-To insure physi-
clans and patients receiving the gem
uine Phosphated Iron we have put
up in capsules only so do not allow
dealers to substitute pills or tablets,
insist on the genuine in capsules
only.

German Deaths Are
No Longer "Heroic"
BY NICHOLAS KLEIN

Since the beginning of the war
it has been the custom of German
trade unions in Germany to
honor fallen members by insert
ing in the labor papers death no.
tices in honor of members who
met death on the field of battle
or in the service. The forms are
all set up and the deceased men,
bers's name is inserted.
In the first year of the war the
death notice gave the name of the
fallen member and this phrase:
Died heroically on the field of
honor"
In the second year. the notice
was changed to read: Gave his
life for his fatherland."
The third years harvest was
thus noticed: Fell in a foreign
land in performance of his duty"
German papers just coming
here now show a great change in
the German labor spirit, and here
is the SOLDERING notice used in the
fourth year of the war: Died as
a further sacrifice to the horrible
war"

Ice Supply Fails Borough;

Steelton is suffering from its Sec

evening saw the end of yesterday S

shipment to this borough failed to
arrive, the borough was seized by a
serious shortage. The ice dealers
were without sufficient ice to supply
the Bethlehem Steel Company this

France Has Fought
All Except America

81 visited a public school in a
small French village" says Stephane
Lauzanne, in the September Forum
"and asked of an S-year-old boy,
What do you think of America"
The reply came quickly
America is the only country in
the world with which France has
never Fought
The child's ingenious reply was
accurate as a matter of fact; between
America and France there has never
been the smallest quarrel. or the
slightest disagreement. Better still:
throughout history we have an in
finity of points in common. We were
conquering our interior liberty at the
very time America was conquering
her exterior liberty. We have always
had the same ideal of independence,
the same passion for democracy. And
we have the same color for our
flag"

Flu Situation.

The flu situation in Lamar is rapid
ly improving and present indications
are that the epidemic has been con-
quered here. The Emergency hospital
has now dropped down to four patients
and no new ones coming in. The hos
pital will be kept up and the working
staff in charge for the present so that
if there is a second wave as there has
been at so many places, it will find
everything in readiness to take care
of the afflicted this time. The hospital
has been quite an expense but it has
furnished care and attention to many
citizens of Lamar and Prowers county
and even adjoining counties that was
seriously needed and could not other
wise have been obtained. 1t has re-
suited in saving many lives and doing
much to relieve the most trying situa-
tion that this vicinity has ever had.
In this connection the community cer-
tainly owes much to Mayor Ray Strain
for his continuous and freely donated
hard work in putting the hospital in
shape and seeing that it was kept GO
ing.
There have been many assistants
who also deserve the highest praise
and thanks of the community for their
unselfish work in this connection.
