GERMANY PLANS ANOTHER
WAR

That Germany, instead of becoming
democratized through the present war,
will launch another conflict after a
short interval of peace, is being admit
ted in Germany through various
sources, according to Julian Grande in
The New York Times. He quotes The
Freie Zeitung an independent German
language paper, printed in Berne, as
saying: cit is already an open secret
that many of our leaders declare that
peace can only be Of short duration;
that all Of Germany's aims have not
been attained; that certain wrongs
must be set right as quickly as posi-
BILE; that the prestige OF German arms
must be restored in the sight of the
world" The article continues that the
theory that Sooner or later Germany
will have to be standing at arms and
attention again." is being impressed
on the young German today stronger
than ever. Dr.. Rosemeier, political
refugee in Berne, who formerly edited
The Berliner MoTganpost, declares
that there is not the slightest pros
pect of Germany becoming more demo
cratic through the present war.
Lust of annexation is infectious,
and even among the members of the
more liberal parties Of the reichstag
there are not few who have been Sc
duced by it," writes Mr.. Grande. "The
characterization of Germany may as
We be classed with chimeras and cas-
ties in the air. generally"

MORALE WILL WIN THE WAR

Morale will win the war; writes
Mai. General Fortescue, war CORE
spondent, in The Vigilantes. 'Not that
material elements do not constitute
a vital and valuable proportion Of war
effort and effect. To be precise, such
elements constitute Is per cent of the
tactical value of any fighting organiza-
ton. Add to the quality and range or
the soldiers rifle, the worth and wealth
er-proofness of his shoes, the quality
and regularity of his ration, the
warmth of his clothes, the protection
afforded by his gas mask, the tech
nique of his rifle grenade; add to these
a thousand and one articles furnished
from ordnance, quartermaster and COM
missary stores; include the result of
liberty loans, food conservation, air
plans construction and shipbuilding-
still Is per cent Of our war value is
lacking. Each sacrifice on the altar of
our country wounds our soul. Not only
comfort, a warm home and bounteous
meals must be foresworn, but with
brave hearts our mothers and wives
must give all that is nearest and dear
est to them. And as in the strength
of their spirit in this giving, SO is the
strength of the soul Of the nation.
Thus morale is another word for
strength of soul. And the war will be
won by the nation with the greatest
soul"

TIRED OF NAME BISMARK

The people Of Bismark, North Da-
kota, are tired of the name, and spe-
cial bill has been introduced to change
it to Wilson, in honor of the president.
The right idea Bismark was the apos-
tie of Hohenzollernism. 1t was Bis
mark, according to his autobiography,
that forged telegram to bring en- the
war in 1870. Think of it! A man in
his position committing such an act!
Not content with that it was largely
his influence that caused the Germans
to rob the French people Of billion
dollars after the war. In this war the
Germans thought they could do it
again and no doubt that had some
thing to do with bringing on the pres
ent conflict 1t will be seen the in
fuence of Bismark has been far teach
ing. His teachings have been fol-
lowed by the military party and the
world knows the result. Down with
the name Bismark! The people may
well suppIant his name with tie name
of a president who stands for 6emOc-
racy, for humanity, for equality and
for Justice. Tell the rest to the kaiser

speaks American, then you are with

you are against us. Under the Stars

that is American. If there is anyone
in the four corners of this country
who does not love America well
enough to fight for America he ought
to go back to Germany a. fight in the

GERMAN PROPAGANDA IN THE
BARABOO LIBRARY

GERMAN PROPAGANDA IN HE
BARABOO LIBRARY
A very questionable volume bear
ing on the German defense of the war,
together with many atrocities that she
has committed, found it's way into the
Carnegie Free Library of Baraboo. Do
the taxpayers of this city want their
money spent for the purchase Of books
excusing the Germans in the earth
wide war? Los Angeles and other
cities all over the country have been
casting out insidious Teutonic prop
uganda and every library should do
likewise. Fortunately but one volume
got into the Baraboo institution and
now comes instructions from the state
library commission yo have all such
volumes removed. It was the inten-
ton to purchase more volumes Of this
character for the local library, but
fortunately this will not be done, and
if done they will be removed.
Because one nation has not done
right in the past, is another nation to
be defended on the same ground? If
a man cheats you or violates his rights
with you, are you justified in doing
the same thing? If villain kills your
neighbor, does that give you an eX-
cuse for murder?
Baraboo and other cities are contrib
uting money and men to crush the
evil that has arisen in Europe Should
the children Of this city be given books
that approve of her barbarous warfare? ?
The volumes contain an alleged tissue
paper defense for the crimes Of Ger
many. a. Because other governments
have violated treaties and committed
crimes is the reason given by certain
writer's for Germany's stand. Rabid
socialists might advance an argument
for deeds of an outlaw nature but is
that any excuse for the teaching to
be spread broadcast? 1t has just been
shown that Berlin gave instructions
for the sinking of the Lusitania, one Of
the worst crimes in all history. Ger
many has caused to be struck 4 COM
memorative medal for the sinking Of
this ocean liner with it's terrible
loss of life. Do the people Of
Baraboo desire to have their money
spent for arguments in favor Of this
crime of crimes? What shall me attf-
tude be toward Count Bernst0rT? To-
ward the trickery in the Zimmerman
note? What shall be the attitude to-
ward a government, as President Will
son says, which cannot be trusted !?
What toward the records of such men
as Bismark, who forged a telegram to
precipitate a war? What toward the
men of the present war who forged
more kilograms for their own dishon-
est gains? What should be the spread
Of literature from the Baraboo library
in regard to the treacheries of a nation
which has made her an outcast among
nations? What about her frauds and
receptions? What shall be the atti-
tude toward the power which is q men
ace to the civilization of the earth?
Treaties have been broken, promises
have been thrown to the winds, inter
national law is as nothing, crimes for
attacking hospitals on land and sea
are too numerous to be believed. The
whole world has risen in its might to
smite the evil, and are the taxpayers
here going to listen to arguments in
favor of the dark deeds of this mill
tary monster? What would the wound

A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS.

We hope the republicans will come
into control of Congress with a col
lective mind much enlightened by ex-
perience.
The democrats had controA of that
body for half a dozen years. They
stuck to a didiculous and wasteful
method of appropriating public
money. They stuck to their old SEMI
ority rule, by virtue of which the man
who had served longest must have
matter how unfit for it he was or
how vital to the country's interests
the Craftsmanship might be-
In sticking to these things through
a great national emergency the demo-
Gratis were putting the personal feel
ings and the individual prestige of
their members above the national
need. The public sickened of it. That
is the real story of the November
elections.
True, the democrats had precedent
for all they did. That was the way
the republicans had managed Con-
gress in their days of power. If the
republicans try it again they will not
stay very long-or deserve to.
This thing of the organization and
methods of Congress, and of the gov
eminent generally, is no matter of
life or death to the nation. Other
things are absolutely and relatively
more important. This is rich ma
ton. 1t can outlive great deal of
extravaganza and inefficiency. But
this particular thing puts a spotlight
on the good faith of Congress as
hardly anything else does.
Will Congress set its own house in
order? Will it honestly try to reform
admitted abuses within its own doors? |
Will it make some sacrifice of its own |
personal inclinations and ease and
privilege for the good of the country?
BY the answer of Congress the public
will test its good Saturday
