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 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,

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. \
