Oli.e. W.nd.ll Holm.. GERMANY'S PLAN OF WORLD CONQUEST Gradually, but surely, the plan of the military autocracy of Germany to , conquer the world, including the United States, is being unfolded. So convincing is the evidence that no sane American can escape the con clusion that if we and the allied na i tions fail to defeat the Huns in the Present war in France, the fighting < will be brought to our own shores. For years the Kaiser and his advis ors have cherished the conviction • that they are the chosen instruments , of God to dominate not Europe &lone, but the world. Their plans of conquest have Included the United States, as is demonstrated by the evi dence of the following witnesses: Dr. Otto Hotsch, in 1902, said: , "The most dangerous foe of Ger many in this generation will prove to> the United States." j Preiherr yon Edelsheim of the German general staff, in 1901, wrote: "It is evident, then, that a naval war against the United States can not be carried on with success with out at the same time inaugurating action on land. * * * *it is al most a certainty, however, that a vic arious assault on the Atlantic coast, y'ng up the importing and exporting Rainess of the whole country, would ''•ng about such an annoying situa- OO that the government would be """'tog to treat for peace. If the German invading force ""J dipped and ready for trans- Porting the moment the battle fleet 8 dispatched, under average condi *B, these corps can begin opera ona on American soil within at least »ur weeks. * • • The United thls_tlme (1901) is not in roßltion to oppose our troops with an army or equal rank. * » • The fact that one or two of her J.ovlnces are occupied by the invad b would not alone move the Amer .,, 't0 8U« for peace. To accom hft y this end the Invaders would Ye to Inflict real material damage KARL P. ALLEN, Editor !>y injuring the whole country through the successful seizure of many of the Atlantic seaports in which the threads of the entire wealth of the nation meet. It should be so managed that a line of land operations would be in close juncture with the fleet, through which we would be in a position to seize in a short time many of these important and rich cities, to Interrupt their means of supply, disorganize all gov ernmental affairs, assume control of all useful buildings, confiscate all war and transport supplies, and lastly, to impose heavy Indem nities. * * * "As a matter of fact, Germany is the only power which is in a position to conquer the United States." Robert Thiem wrote, in 1902; "in a hundred years the American people will be conquered by the vic torious Herman spirit, so that it will present an enormous German empire. Whoever does not believe this lacks confidence in the strength of the German spirit." W. Witit/.er wrote, in 1900: "European interests, and with them the German, lie in America in case we have the power to support them effectively. We shall not for bear to accustom America to this point of view." Klaus Wagner, in 1906, said: "Not only North America but the whole of America must become a bul wark of Germanic Kultur, perhaps the strongest fortress of the Ger manic races. That is everyone's hope who has freed himself from his own local European pride and who places the race feeling above his love for home. Also South America must and can easily become a habitation for German or Germanoid races! "The lands will be settled upon by people of Germanic blood, the non-Germanic inhabitants being driven into reservations or at best to Africa." Major N. A. Bailey of the U. S. army: "At the close of the Spanish- American war 1 was returning on the Santee—l think it was—from Santiago, Cuba, to Montauk Point. * * * On board there was a mil itary attache from Germany, Count yon Goetzen, a personal friend of the Kaiser. There was also an attache from some South American country, possibly Argentina. "Apropos of a discussion between Count yon Goetzen and myself on the friction between Admiral Dewey and the German admiral at Manila, yon Goetzen said to me: "I will tell you something which you better make note of. lam not afraid to tell you this because, if you do speak of it, no one would believe you and everybody would laugh at you. " 'About 15 years from now my country will start her great war. She will be in Paris in about two months after the commencement of hostil ities. Her move on Paris will be but a step to her real object—the crush ing of England. Everything will move like clockwork. We will be prepared and others will not be pre pared. 1 speak of this because of the connection which it will have with your own country. " 'Some months after we finish our work in Europe we will take New York and probably Washington and hold them for some time. We will put your country in its place with reference to Germany. We do not purpose to take an) of your terri tory, but we do int.'till to take a bil lion or more dollars from Now York and other places. The Monroe doc trine will be taken charge Of by us, as we will then have put you in your place, and we will take charge of South America, as far as we want to." A. Curtis Roth, former American vice consul at. Plauen: "In April. 19 15, I was with a party of (Herman officers at Had Bister In southeastern Saxony. Major Hiebs tor, an acquaintance of mine * * * joined our party * * * Major Llebster Bought the occasion for a conversation with me and among other things said: 'We are are keeping books on yon Americans. It's a long account and wo haven't missed any details. Rest assured that that account will be presented to you some day for settlement. * * * We are keeping the account in black and white * * * with customary German thoroughness.' " In view of this evidence as to the hostile attitude and plans of the Gor man government toward the United States, can any patriotic citizen re fuse to make any sacrifice necessary to the winning of this war In Europe instead of on our own soil. Our boys are fighting in defense of our bom..-., and we must back up those boys with our dollars and deeds as well as with our prayers, WM. GOODYEAR IV UNION TIIKItI. IS SI lti:\('Tll The Farmers Union of Washing ton, Idaho and Oregon litis just ren dered two Important services to trio grain growers of file Pacific North west. It has secured an advance of from 1 tic to I •".(■ a bushel in the price fixed for their 1918 wheat crop, and it has given a conclusive demonstra tion that in union there is strength and that organization is absolutely essential to the wellfaro of the farmers.' When it was announced that the food administration had construed the principal primary interior points for the marketing of the Pacific Northwest wheat to be Minneapolis or Omaha, a howl of indignation went up from every individual farm er. But these individual protests would not have accomplished any results. The plan to send a delega tion back to Washington to make an organized effort to secure justice for the. wheat growers of the three northwestern states was worked out at the state convention of the Farm ers Union of Washington and North ern Idaho. The method of selecting the delegation to present the matter to the National Food Administra tion, and of financing their expenses was devised by the Farmers Union. A national officer of thai organiza tion went to Washington to act as a scout. Five members of the dele gation wore members of the Farmers Union and they selected the three business men who accompanied them. The delegation was given a hear ing at Washington because the mem bers represented, not Individual, hut organized farmers. Having secured a hearing, they carried their point because their contentions were fair and just. The money which tin- Farmers Union has made for the farmers of Washington. Idaho and Oregon, by this one successful fight, would pay all the dues of the organization for a term of many years. Will the farmers appreciate it? Will this vic tory arouse them to the need and benefits of joining the organization? Will they give the credit to whom the credit is due? Will they enroll under the banner of the Farmers union and loyally support its efforts to still further benefit them? Its field of usefulness is limited only by the number and loyalty of Its mem bers, It has proved its worth and Its potential power of accomplishing results. It remains for the farmers to show their gratitude and good sense by joining the organization and sticking to it through thick and thin. WM. GOODYEAR * In reply to inquiries regarding the possibility of re-distilling seized spirits for alcohol the War Depart ment has announced that the small amount of alcohol recovered, the cost of transportation, re-cooperage, and re-distillation would make the cost to the government greater than it is now paying. The average yield from confiscated liquor would not exceed five per cent of alcohol. \ SIMMONS BY PUBLICATION In the Superior Court of tb. State of Washington, In and for the County of Whitman.
