the germs of cruelty in the Teuton blood.
Because the ancient custom of making

intensity, Americans owe it to the world

To Prevent a Repetition of Germany's
Crimes Twenty Years Hence.
No safety for America in anything but
completely smashing the German war
lords. There ought to be no mercy for the
Kaiser or his fellow profitteers. Oppor
tunity for wholesale murder should for
ever be put beyond their reach. If peace
by negotiation is effected, the statesmen
who do it will betray civilization, mock I
the church, and offer a vast premium for j
German diplomatic ingenuity. Unless
Germany is now smashed, it means a big j
standing army in the United States, an
enormous fleet, and a burden of colossal
taxation to protect the country against
German revenge. Unless the Empire is
now smashed, there will be another war
with the Hun inside twenty-five years.
All the German annexionists in lurid |
articles are stating:
"The mistakes made in the last three |
and a half years, will not be repeated in 1
the next war." General Baron Von 1
Freytag Loringhaven of the General staff
declares: "In preparing for the'next war,
we must devote more attention to tactics ;
on a larger scale and less to strategy.”
J. B YV. Gardiner in the YVorld’s YVork
makes these startling statements: “The
rape of Belgium and France was not the
work of frenzied soldiers acting on mere
impulses. They were ordered to do it
methodically, mercilessly by the war
lords. Germany has lost its young man
hood, so have Belgium and France. Raze
the villages, deport the inhabitants, and
neither France nor Belgium can regain
its young manhood in 100 years. So it
was done. Germany’s towns are intact,
how shall she regain her young male
population? Get a male population be
fore France or Belgium—produce a young
manhood in twenty years capable of
striking again in war against enfeebled
France and Belgium and even England
and America? The YVar-lords devise a
system for increasing rapidly the male ;
population for the next war. The Ger
man soldiers were ordered to systemati
cally ravish the women of France and
Belgium. German officials seized the
offsprings from this bestial debauchery, 1
and sent the males to Germany to be
brought up and trained for the future ;
army of the Fatherland. Thousands of
young men will be ready for the next
gigantic thrust in 20 years Germany !
deports the men of Belgium and France ' ,
in order to make an effective increase in j
the male population of Germany. Volun
tarily or through compulsion these men 1
are to form a liason with the surplus '
women of Germany. In 20 years the j
male off-springs of these unions will be
ready to bear arms in the next war. '
These war-lords have also established j
what they call ‘Lateria! Marriages.’ There j
are thousands of young women capable
of bearing children, who are now unat
tached because of the absence of their j
husbands at the front. Either a marrieu
or single man at home is encouraged by
the government to form a temporary j
union with one of these unattached
women. The union lasts until a child is |
born, then ceases. The child may be re
taineu dv tne motner, or is seni dv me
officials to an institution to be reared by
the State. The next use to which the .
War-lords place the women of the Na- (
tion is this. Those who have been widow- :
ed by war, and the men who are crippled . J
are brought together. The State helps
linancially. But it is stated in the in- j
structions governing this form of mar- .
riage, ‘That the son of the new genera- \
tion will in the fulness of its manhood ]
take upon its shoulders the national de
fense. ’ In other words the males from
all such unions upon birth, become the
property of the State; and will be requir
ed to fight in the coming new war which
the State is planning. ” ,
Here you have a nation that boasts of '
its culture and religion; whose statesmen j
claim that its citizens are superior to the j ,
men of all other people; whose interests :
were not attacked by an enemy; yet orig
inating one fearful war, while at the ,
same time prostituting its women and ]
girls, that males may be provided for the ,
second vast war which it now plans, j ,
Here you have the amazing spectacle of a I (
modern government legalizing and pro- (
moting national fornication and adultery, j ,
in order to carry out the plans of its war- -
lords. Mr. Gardiner makes this com
ment: “It is difficult for me to conceive
how in this enlightened age, a nation sup- ,
posed civilized, can so foul the beauty of
motherhood; so depreciate the great
moral value of womanhood, as to turn j
the whole community into an official hu- ' (
man stock farm, bv simply making brood .
animals out of its women. It is an indi
cation of the moral slough into which
Germany has descended.” Here is the
secret of the crimes committed by Ger
man soldiers against the women of the
invaded territories. It is an expose of
the complete break-down of National I
morality. America is fighting a nation i
whose mad rulers have lost all moral
sense, whose methods are merciless i
and contrary to every law of God and <
decent law of man. O such a govern <
ment, whose rulers are willing to de- i
bauch the womanhood of the nation, for i
the purpose of providing males for the i
lirst line trenches twenty years from i
now—deserves to be smashed beyond any ]
resurrection. And such rulers who bur- <
den the earth with their immorality and
inhumanity—from Raiser down—deserve 1
to be placed against the first wall, and :
faced by a squad of Yankee sharp-shoot- i
ers whose aim could not fail.
The Kaiser and War Lords are Fighting
for a Chance to Whip America.
Eldelsheim of the General stall said, '
“In fact Germany is the only great power 1
which is in a position to conquer the
United States.” In 1901 Germans were
considering an invasion of America. 1
Professor Schumacher in 1915 said, “We
shall have a claim by right of victory
and consideration of justice for damages
at the expense of England and the United ,
States.” A decision to extort an in- !

MRS. F. S. STOLZ
3S07 Sacto Ave., Sacramento, Cal.
“I had Stomach Trouble for 10
years, which became so bad that I got
Stomach Cramps two or three times
a week.
After years of terrible torture, I
read about ‘Fruit-a-tives’ or Fruit
Liver Tablets, and sent for a trial box
and wrote that it was the last remedy
I would use—if ‘Fruit-a-tives’ did not
help me, I would die.
After taking the trial box, I felt
better, so kept on taking ‘Fruit-a
tives’ for nearly a year, and am thank
ful to say 'Fruit-a-tives' saved my life.
It also saved a friend from an
operation for Stomach Trouble, after
he had given up all hope of getting
well”. Mrs. F. S. STOLZ.

the war. Admiral Count Von Goetzen ;
said to Major Bailey, U. S. A., visiting
abroad, "After we finish up our work in
Europe, we will take New York and
probably Washington and hold them for
some time.” Oflicial Germany knew
that it was intended to attack America
at the close of the war in Europe. Am
bassador Gerard affirms, “It was in the
Kaiser’s mind to pick a quarrel with our
country soon as possible after smashing
England and France.” A. Curtis Roth,
Vice Consul at Plauen, states, "The Ger
mans are imbued with the idea that
America must be made to sufTer. That
America must indemnify the German
people. Behind these ideas were the
German army and navy—the pan Ger
mans—the Argrarians—conservatives of
all hues—the National Liberals—the Na
tional German committees—and the Ger
man government.” Germany started the
war but expects to compel America to
pay the costs.
Wake up you Americans from the j
fantastic dream that your contention is
only with the German rulers. The whole
of Germany is fiercely against you; and if
they set foot on Yankee soil will endeav
or to skin you alive. We know our dan
ger. Until the unholy German govern- ;
ment is smashed; and the German classes j
are whipped to a stand still; there will
hang over our women and our homes, the I
same viciousness meted out to the homes |
and women of Belgium.
Now that the American sword is drawn
in defense, keep that sword Hashing and
swinging, until the Allies are ready to
tell Germany what she shall do with Bel
gium and France. Keep that sword
Hashing until the Kaiser, his lords, phil
osophers and hordes of pillagers, are
whipped into submission. Keep that
sword flashing, until we have that kind
of peace which the American sword shall
make permanent. Keep the sword flash
ing until all peoples shall be secure in
their right to folio, the pursuits of hap
piness, without dictation from a Czar or
Kaiser.
MAINE ITEMS.
Economizing.
President Robert J. Aley of the Uni
versity of Maine announced recently that
the trustees have decided that the College
of Law, which has been located at Bangor
since it was opened in 1898, will be mov
ed to the University campus for the dura
tion of the war. This is a measure made
necessary by war conditions. For the
same reasons the usual summer school
for instruction in Agriculture will not be
held this year.
Bangor business men are contemplat ng
the opening ef the Stetson shipyard in
Brewer, where in former years many fine
vessels were built, but which has been
closed for a long period. The class of
vessels to be built would be fairly large
four-masters, the most profitable type of
cargo carriers.
Grain shipments from Portland during
the spring months bids fair to be very
heavy. In addition to numerous foreign
steamers of many different nationalities
now under charter to load grain it is said
that several American boats are also
coming for the same purpose, including
one now commanded by Capt. Joseph
York of South Portland.
Seventeen horses were burned in a fire
which recently destroyed the sales stable
of Wesley Watson in Skowhegan. The
stable was entirely in flames before the
fire was discovered. The building was
owned by Clyde H. Smith, The loss was
about 16,600.
Children Like to Take It.
Thousands of children have worms and
their parents don’t know what the trouble
is.
Symptoms of worms are: Deranged
stomach, swollen upper lip, sour stomach,
offensive breath, hard and full belly with
occasional gripings and pains about the
navel, pale face of leaden tint, eyes heavy
and dull, twitching eyelids, itching of the
nose, itching of the rectum, short dry
cough, grinding of the teeth, little red
points sticking out on tongue, starting
during sleep, slow fever.
Always keep Dr. True’s Elixir on hand
for such cases. It is promptly effective
and the nice thing about it is that chil
dren like to take it.
Mrs. H. W. Roberts of 502 Asylum St.,
Flint, Michigan, wrote to us: "Have used
the Elixir and as far as I know my little
girl is cured of worms.” She wrote in
again later saying, “Baby is fine and I
think it was your medicine that helped
her.”
Dr. True’s Elixir, the Family Laxative
and Worm Expeller, has been on the
market more than 60 years and more and
more people are using it all the time to
expel worms, or to tone up the stomach
and restore natural action of the bow
els. Children like

THE WAR, T FARM
IM THE FARMER
By Herbert Quick
Since the dawn of history the farm
er has been the man who suffers
most from war. AU that he poss
esses lies out of doors tn plain sight,
and is spoil of war—his house,* his
grain, his livestock. But the farmer
everywhere is a warrior when war
Is the only thing which will make
and keep him free—either a warrior
or a serf. He is sometimes the last
to heat up: but he stays hot, and in
a long fight he is always found sturd
ily carrying the hat11 *' across No
Sian's hand to the foe, in the last
grim struggle.
This war was at first hard te un
derstand. No armed toe invaded the
United States. The night skies we e
not reddened by the burning byres
and farmsteads of America. No raid
ing parties harried us of our cattle or
horses. No sabre-rattlers insulted
our women. We did not then know
that a monster had arisen with a
thousand arms.who could reach ai r ss
the seas and take from us thrce
friirths of everything we grew with
out our being aware of it, and who
could follow up his robbery with in
vasion, subjugation and national
demh.
What the Imperial German govern
ment nffet. 1 the farmers of Amer
ica in its ruthless submarine warfare
was not the loss of profits, hut
slavery to the saber-rattlers of Pots
dam, by murdering the people who
take our produces to market. By
all the laws of civilized warfare com
merce under a neutral flag was free
from any hindrance except the legal
Interference justified by war; but
the Germans not only stopped mer
chant vessels, they sunk them with
out warning and without trace.
Having the right, according to the
laws of war, to take the sea with
his fleet and fight the thing out gun
to gun, but being afraid to do so for
fear he might lose his fleet, or un
able to -stop the selling of our pro
ducts to his enemies or to open his
own ports to us by fair means, he
declared his intention to do it by
the foulest methods ever resorted to
in war.
To have submitted would have cost
us thar in prosperity; but that would
have been the least of our loss. By
eo doing we should have accepted
degradation. AVe should have ac
cepted. at the behest of a half crazed
autocrat in Europe, a lower standard
of living in America. We should
have basely yielded up our birthright
as Americans. Peace at such a price
would not be peace, but only a pre
paration for a future nvolt against
subjugation Better any sort of war,
better war forever than that I
This, then, is the war in which
we are fighting. AVhenever the time
comes for new sacriflct's, let us re
member that we fight not only for
the liberty of the Belgians, the
French, the Servians, the Rus
sians, the British, the Montenegrins,
the Roumanians, the Italians, but of
nil nations, even of the Berman peo
ple themselves; and mosr of all, for
our own liberties—for our freedom
today! There is loss and sacrifice
in the war; but there would have
heen far more in accepting the Ber
man terms. AVe should have lost
more in money than we shali spend
in the war; and something far more
previous thap money—our souls I
T.his is the crucial year of the war.
Our soldiers—hundreds of thousands
of them—are in the trenches, and a
million more are ready to go.- The
whole burden of carrying on our own
part in the war, and of aiding our
sister nations in arms, rests on the
United States Treasury. Therefore
every cent we can raise and scrape
together belongs to the Treasury,
that our hoys may come hack to us
victorious. AA'e can whip the Ber
mans, not with the money in our
pockets or our bank accounts, hut
with what we put into the Treasury
p subscriptions to Liberty Bonds!
.sever since the Turks threatened
to overwhelm Europe, perhaps not
even then, was the world in such
danger as now. Bermany is not yet
defeated. AVe must defeat her this
year. AVe must withhold nothing
from the support of the war. We
must give our sons. AA'e must bring
forth food in abundance .multiplying
our labor to that end. We must give
lpto the Treasury of the United
States, in subscriptions to Liberty
Bonds, 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 farm
ers in vain.
WHY WE FIGHT.
“You are called into this great
■ervice of your country not only for
the purpose of maintaining the Ideals
for which America has always stood
•—democracy and freedom, and to
keep the torch of Liberty burning
throughout the world—but also for
this mere Immediate object, the pro
tection of our national rights and the
democratic Institutions handed down
to us as the result of the velnr and
blood of our ancestors. Those are
the things for which you fight.”

NEW YORK BARGE CANAL RIVALS
PANAMA FEAT.
The opening of the New York. Barge
Canal this spring, after twelve years of
construction work, is an event that will
be of national import, says Stanley W.
Todd in the April Popular M echanics
Magazine. Its particular value to the
nation at this juncture, is that it opens
up a new water route from the Great
Lakes, across the central part of the
State to the Hudson River, and thence to
the Atlantic seaboard. In other words,
it links up the middle West, Great Lakes,
Canada and the St. Lawrence River, with
the unexcelled shipping facilities on our
Atlantic coast. It will permit the move
ment of a barge, or a fleet of smaller
barges, carrying nearly 3,000 tons of
freight. It can help move foodstuffs
from points as remote as Duluth, Minn.,
and carry munitions and ordnance from
the manufacturing centers on the Great
Lakes in the middle West, direct to the
Atlantic fleet and waiting vessels. The
New York Barge Canal is not simply one
channel running across the State, but
four different waterways linked into one
system, covering a distance of 532 miles.
The locks vary in height of lift anywhere
from 6 to 40 1-2 feet. The five structures
at Waterford have a combined lift of 169
feet, or just one foot less than the total
lift of all locks in the Panama Canal.
These are said to be the greatest series of
high-lift locks in the world.
PROSPECT FERRY.

Mr. and Mrs. Edward Avery, who
spent the winter in Stockton, have re
turned to their home here.
Sergeant Edwards and wife of Fort
Knox went to Bangor March 8th, where
Mrs. Edwards will be operated on for ap

Pershing’s Message.
General Pershing urges the American
women to “obey orders” and be generous
with their letters to relatives at the front.
“Let them write to their boys over here
cheerful letters, hopeful letters, not let
ters filled with gloom. The boys are a
brave lot and keep them so. Obey orders,
work, write,” is Pershing’s message. It
means so much. Let this be a regular
task. Write often, even if there is no
letter in return. Many epistles may get
lost on the way. It may be months be
fore answers are received but the mao
"over there” who gets the letters from
home will be the better for them.—Port
