GERMAN PREPAREDNESS. The Costa Rican government has Just unearthed, a conspiracy against it "Mined to damage the country woefully. Who are tha leaders? Well, they bear the names of Rumpel, AUsehul and Orlich. Evidently fine old Spanish names. Can you beat It?
AS THE GERMANS SEE US. An official who has scrutinized tho reports made by German diplomatic preventatives to their government before tha declaration of war furnishes : is extract from one of them, according to the Xew York World. "The Americans are very rough. If you call one of them a liar he does .t argue the matter after the manner of a German gentleman, but brutally -rocks you down. The Americans have absolutely no ku'.tur."
GERMANY'S WORLD OF ENEMIES. The military critic of the Munchner Neueste Nachrichten, in an article 'nUtled "The Fourth Year of War." deplores the fact that British diplomacy i -.is been much cleverer and mare successful than German, having accomr .ished nearly everything It attempted. "It has constantly brought new nations into the war (he adds), and it :;iways making new foes, new tasks, and new difficulties for the German ;i. my. so that now there are 1,330 million foes against 150 million Germans rnd German sympathizers. In an appeal to the Judgment of humanity at a orld conference or world tribunal the proportion would be 133 to 15. In is command of the opinion of the world England has gained enormous : ngth. We have neglected to trouble about the opinion of the world., childy supposing we can gain sympathy without it." The correspondent proceeds to say that England's greatest gain In this -pect was America, and that nothing Is more foolish than arrogantly to i.rderestimate the importance of America's entry into the war. ' He proceeds: "Economically, politically, or financially, an Anglo-Saxon circle is now formed, and threatens to rule the world, unless we oppose a Central European and Asiatic combination against It. The military importance of America is equally great. She only requires time to become effective." The correspondent concludes: "On the entry of the fourth year of the v ar we dare not conceal the fact that the fight for existence claims all our strength, and that we perish as a nation if the enemy is victorious. We mast not b blind to the seriousness of the situation, and foolishly imagine that people are kept in better spirit3 through lies. On the contrary, strength only come out of truth."
THE PRIVATE SOLDIER. Yonder elands a private soldier. He belongs to the ranks. There is no chevron or mark on him to indicate he possesses authority, says the Ohio State Journal. There is no sign about him to show that he is in some special service beyond the shooting. He is simply a possible soldier, who belongs to the army to fight. His is the post of danger. He goes where his comrades will fall about him and perhaps he will, too. He is the realest example of unselfish patriotism there is. He is In this war from a sense of duty, only hoping to do his part bravely, and come home at last, to meet his wife or sweetheart, but if he doesn't, he has reached the summit of his duty as a man, where he has given his life for his country. Such an experience belongs to the divine realities of life, which are sure to blossom everywhere, in tha realm of the spirit. That may be no consolation now, but it will be after while. There is a grander world than now.

The Perfect Answer to the Disloyalists
(Contributed.) Sooner or later the American government will have to come clown with an iron hand upon those who openly preach disloyalty, talk and write, sedition and give the German enemy aid and comfort by opposing everything that will make this nation potent In war. Some of those guilty of these things are native-born, and some are foreignborn who have become naturalized citizens. If anything, the sin of the latter ih the greater. They came here voluntarily. They assumed the burden and duties, end the inestimable privileges of American citizenship or their own accord. No one forced them. But once the" id so, it behooved them to walk straight, act straight, think straight. No better words on the subject have been spoken than those by Chief Justice Andrew A. Bruce of the supreme court of North Dakota, where dislayalty has been more or less rampant. Judge Bruce was born in India, son of a British soldier. And here is what this naturalized citi2en has to say:
"I speak from the viewpoint of the foreign-born. I and millions of others like me, (iam to this country alone, without money and without friends. We
sponged on all America had, her free lands, her. free schools and above all her spirit tt open-hearted comradship. She owed us nothing, but she gave us all, her constitution and her laws. We would be recreants, ingratcs. perjurers and curs if in the hour of her need we counseled with her enemies and were disloyal to her cause." This seerrs to be the perfect answer to the disloyalists. It should serve as a chart and guide to them. There is no cxcubq for anyone guilty of treachery to America. . We are in the war not because we love war or glory in it or hope to gain by it. but because we could not retain our self-respect, our Independence and our liberty if we remained passive. This being so. It is the duty of every man. woman and child tj do his bst to make America efficient in this war, so that we may end It as soon as rossible. Nothing less should be tolerated.
Red Cross Column
WASHINGTON. Sept. 25. H. P. Pavlson, chairman of the Red Cross War Council, announces the receipt of the following cabl from the Red Cross Commission to France: "Along- that desolate path of ruin behind the French and British lines from Befglum to Switzerland, the American Red Cross work of relief and economio rehabilitation under Edward Eyre Hunt, chief of the bureau, has rapidly taken shape. Returning refugees and repatriates have earth under them and sky over them that is all. The land has been swept clean. "Twentieth Century Frenchmen have to begin again where North American Indian would begin by hunting for food, temporary shelter, a few clothes to cover them, a handful of household goods and utensils such as pots, pans, knives and spoons, an agricultural Implement or two and perhaps a rabbit and some chickens, and, if they are very lucky, a goat or a donkey. "It Is to help such people as these that the American Red Cross has located its relief warehouses at strategic points Just behind the lines, such as Solssons. Noyon, Ham and Peronne, and is shipping In food, clothes, blankets, beds, mattresses, stoves, kitchen utensils, reapers and binders, 'mowing machines, threshing machines, garden tools and hundreds of other articles of prime importance to people who were prosperous and contented only three years ago. The service of relief and economic rehabilitation has divided Its field Into six districts: "One for the extreme north and Pas de Calais; one for the fcomme; one for the Oise; one for the Aisne; one for the Marne and Meuee; one for Meurth" and Mosell. "Resident American delegates have been assigned to those whose duties are to oversee distribution cf relief. f report new needs, and to co-operate in every poselble way with the admirable relief work of the French government and scores of devoted French and other organizations."

the western frontier, the murders of the Rlttck Hole of Calcutta, and the crimes of the Spanish Inquisition.' "On the Henry Ward Beecher pulpit, while Dr. Hillis was delivering a sermon-address which greatly moved his large congregation, there was the material which the minister had gathered during his visit in Europe. This collection included authenticated records and photographs covering about a thousand cases in which old men and women, girls and babes, were the victims of unspeakable militaristic savagery. While there is no doubt, at this late day, with regard to the reliability of the testimony gathered, under the auspices of the allied governments and by scores of private investigators, many of them Americans, yet the recommendation made by Dr. Hillis at the close of his remarks, that an American commission, coposed of representative citizens, be sent ab-oad to make a thorough examination of the evidence, and to repcrt thereon, is worthy of attention. "The people of the United States should be far better informed, and much more Btrongly impressed than they are, regarding the nature, extent and deliberate purpose of the German atrocities. Unless they are more fully informed on this subject than they are today they will not be qualified later to pass intelligently upon the basis of peace." As hospitals are bombed and neutral ships sunk there is felt greater than ever the realization that we are at war with a nstion whose soldiers have shown their greatest fearlessness in attacking women and children; whose diplomats resort to murder and plots rather than the skill of their profession.
GERMAN HELLISHXESS.
avoided and apparently were even afraid to discuss stories of German atrocities. But the awful truth of what Germans in authority have done with the consent of the German government is beginning to dawn, and what kaiser adherents protested as a fabric of lies of the allies turns out to be even more hideous than we anticipated. Commening on Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis sermons, based on his investigations in Europe, the Christian Science Dally Monitor says in this respect: "For three years, Dr. Hillis said, German-Americans have protested that the stories of German atrocities were to be disbelied as English fabrications, Belgian lies and French hypocrisies. 'But,' added, 'that day is gone forever. When the representatives of the nations assemble for the f.nal settlement, there will be produced photographs, with other legal proof, making the German atrocities far better established than the scalpings of the Sioux Indians on
