NEW REVENGE WAR NOW
TALKED BY WILD GERMANS

the war The German apparently
does not think things out any more
than he did
In his attitude regarding the En-
tente, the German manifests about
the same breadth of vision. Papers
are filled with vindictive articles
much of which is furnished by
bureaus established for the purpose
in Holland and Switzerland, which
carry sensation rather than news.
Whether this campaign to stir up
hatred Is organized or not is not GER
tain. But the fact remains that Ger
mans are being inspired with a hat
red of France that never existed be-
fore, and that makes being good
neighbors the more difficult. The
blockade and the non-arrtval of food,
which all Germans expected.
Internal questions get about the
same amount of logic in their treat
ment. While the government is at
tempting to establish order that pro-
duction may improve the condition
Of workmen, the latter through their
soviets are declaring waves of strikes,
most Of which are for sympathetic
reasons.
It is no uncommon thing for half
dozen or more strikes to occur be-
cause one group of people demand
better pay, or because a law is not
passed as quickly as a certain class
wishes. No doubt the conditions are
bad. but the strikes for sympathy
Just make them worse. Employers
find that workmen who have come
from the front are out Of practice
but because of the abnormal psyche
Mentally they have become bolshe-
vik. erratic and lazy.
This wave of responsibility is
one of the greatest dangers Germany
faces and makes the esta blishment Of
the new republic extremely difficult.
The government claims it is due to
under-nourishment. which is partly
true, but not entirely, since groups
of men who have been well fed are
subject to the same germ of loose
thinking.
One of the results of the war has
been the lack of respect for law and
order and a carelessness with human
life. It has made the Germans ready
to use arms for any small issue they
deem unsettleable otherwise.
Probably it will be a question of
years before the Germans becomes
clear-headed and clear-thinking. He
started out with an abnormal psyche
logy, inspired by concet. and the
war gradually made him ripe for the
mental collapse that took place with
the revolution

Berlin, March 20. (By Mail y
German psychology has always baf-
fled the rest Of the world, or at least
those who tried to understand why
a German thought as he did. The
world is due for a still worse baffl-
ing, If it tries to understand what
goes on in the German mind today.
Mentally the German mind sud
denly thrown upon it's own resources
by the fall of the old system which
fed people thoughts as well as food.
has gone wild. Under the strain of
the war and due to the sudden
changes, the Germans have become
childlike psychologically. This is
taking Germans generally.
Thoughtful, serious Germans,
when you occasionally find them,
S&aljze the temporary insanity, If 1t
can be called that. under which the
Germans as a nation are struggling.
1t is the only way Of understand
ing the lack of realization as to the
read condition Of things, wave OF
which has swept Germany No one
looks farther than his nose, and
every man and woman is interested
entirely in his or her immediate self.
There is little broad vision ex-
pressed in papers, in speeches. or in
personal opinions as you hear them
in Germany.
To cite specific cases. The peace
and why it was signed is one Of the
German delusions. Practically every
man, woman and child believes Ger
many was not defeated militarily,
but simply got hungry and sick Of
war, and therefore accepted the En-
tente conditions This belief pre-
walls in spite of the public statements
of men like Erzberger. who have told
the Germans their armies were de-
feated militarily.
Perhaps this belief fosters the
talk regarding the next war Not
only occasionally but frequently and
by all classes of people you are asked,
"Well when is the next war COM
ing?" Often Germans go farther
than that, and speak specifically of
the next war with France to get re-
venge.' There is war talk on all
hands. though Germany is in a state
Fcol1apse that is almost hopeless.
and is entirely dependent upon the
will Of the allies for her future.
- How much the German believes of
what he says is another matter
Probably he is out Of his head, but
this same disinclination to realize
actual conditions as they were, led
the German to support the military
class during the first four years of

WILSON TO ADDRESS MEETING
A. P. RITCHIE LIKELY TO
REMAIN AS POSTMASTER

While no definite information has
been received from the postal depart
ment relative to its having with
drawn Its request for certification
for filing the position of postmaster
In Bemidji, 1t Is generally believed
that A. p. Richie is to finish his
term of office
Postmaster Richie resigned some
time ago when conditions at the
postoffice were such that he did not
care to remain in charge. The work
gradually became more pleasant and
to a postoffice inspector he ventured
the remark that had previous con-
ditions been as they now are he
would not have filed MS resignation.
That the inspector took Ritchie at
his word seems evident.

Munich, January I6.--"The purely mili- tary way of thinking which plunged us senselessly into this war" says Prof. F. ". Foerster, Munich university profess or, and now Bavarian minister in Switz- erland, 'had, as consequence, also a method of conducting the war which was bound to end in a German catastrophe.
 With a blindness bordering on insan- ity we called all the means military ne- cessities' which, step by step, were sure to call the whole world into arms against us-whereby it came to be evident that our disdain of all political and moral scruples was a shortsighted calculation, even from 8 military standpoint.
 ''To what dire need did our so-called tact of necessity in invading Belgium bring us? Those military ways of think ing also bear the principal blame for the prolongation of the war.

GLASS OF SALTS
 CLEANS KIDNEYS
If your Back hurts or Blad- der bothers you, drink
 lots of water

When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with mild. harmless salts which removes the body's urinouS waste and stimulates them to their nor mal activity. The function of the kid neys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 800 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kid- neys active.
 Drink lots of water-you can't drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning for few days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combin- ed with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weak ness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- jure: makes a delightful effervescent Whitewater drink which everyone should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this also keep up the water drinking, and no doubt you will wonder what become of your kidney trouble and backache.- Adv.
