Changing the German Mind - One of the unfathomable mysteries of the present war is the submission of the German people to the mastery and deception of the Hohenzollern house and the war lords. The zest and zeal of the people to do the will of their autocratic rulers invite investigation. No one will deny the blind faith the common people have in the present dynasty. Sporadic outbreaks against the present ruling class and its representatives are only flashes in trv? pan and are not indicative of the attitude of the masses who cling tenaciously to the war program. The Imperial German government lost no time after the declaration of hostilities to instill into the minds of the common people the idea that German was waging a defensive war and that she was fighting to maintain the integrity of the
Empire against the encroachments of Great Britain. , This idea is supreme and dominating in the German mind. It cannot be eradicated by appeals from foreign countries. It is as tightly engrafted as is the American's love of liberty and independence. In judging the attitude of the German' masses this factor never must be lost sight of. Consequently the morale of the German soldiers has not been undermined by the failure of the General Staff to break the Allies' line on .the western front. The spirit of the German people, although sorely tried by the privations of the last three years, still has unbounded faith in the ability of the army to defeat the French and British. Even if the people as a whole have been reduced to dire straits, they are willing to suffer, if thereby it will help the army defeat the nations that made war upon the Fatherland.
an economic boycott even more feared in Germany than military defeat and more injurious. Here the spokesman of the American people puts the whole matter in a nutshell. We must and shall continue the war against the German Government either by military operations or by boycott until it is either defeated or overthrown by the German people. And as long a3 the German people continue to support the present ruling class we shall be obliged to . continue this war, which, whether military or economic, i3 necessarily directed against the German people as well as the German Government.
The method of conviction essentially necessary to wake up the German masses is a decisive defeat of the army. If the Allies shatter their faith in the invincibility of the armed host that now sustains their morale, they will be aroused to the truth. Until that day, we can little hope for a change in their loyalty to 'the government. For this reason it is silly to speculate on how tired the masses are of war, and futile to argue that they are ready to rise in revolt, as did the Russian people, and demand the abdication of the Hohenzollern house. Let us dismiss this idea at once as an element favorable to the success of our arms, because it does not exist. Our whole mind must be devoted to the stern business of arming, traininc: and equipping millions of men for real fighting. We must not let
j reports of alleged unrest in Germany or of a
diminution of fighting spirit among the soldiers
dissuade us from a vigorous prosecution of the war. -
If three years of suffering have not brought about a change in the love of the German people for the despotism of the Kaiser and tho war party, it is evident that only a momentous occurence will shake their faith. It stands to reason that the people will have a still greater infatuation for their Government, if the army is able to defeat the Allies. Such an event would cement for years to come the allegiance of the people to the despotism which is able to delude them into giving their lives and fortunes at the Kaiser's behest. Should this occur, democracy would not be able to make headway in Germany for years to come and the "benevolent" autocracy that now holds sway would gain another long lease on life. William English Walling, in an exhaustive article prepared for the Committee on Public Information, summarizes the attitude of the Ger
man people and indicates our course of action in the following words : , Here it is recognized the blind loyaity of the German people is such that the military victory of Prussian despotism over the democratic fiations will in their minds justify Prussian despotism. The German people are so hypnotized by the past and recent successes of the German military machine that they totally disregard its crimes against other peoples. Nor do they realize, as the President points out in his last message, that if the German power is not "crushed and utterly brought to an end" by a decisive military defeat this would inevitably "make it necessary to create a permanent hostile combination of nations against the German people, who are its instruments" (Dec. 4) resulting in ,

A LITTLE SLICE O LIFE' The other day the merucry was six below. And the wife said: "The iceman, Mr. Higgins, . . Hasn't been here since last Friday. And, consequently, everything in the icebox Is spoiling. If I put the milk and and things out on The window sill, they freeze. . I don't See why Mr. Higgins doesn't come. He never failed us before like thi3f" I thought it would be a good idea To call Mr. Higgins up on the phone; And, no sooner said than done. He answered the phone, and when I Asked him why he hadn't been around Since Friday He said: "I am sorry, but there has Been an ice shortage for several days, And I haven't been able to get any. They ran out of coal and couldn't run The ice plant, and there was so much Ice in the river they couldn't bring Natural ice over by boat, so you see How it is." I said: "Yes, I see it all now." But I lied: I couldn't see it at all, And I can't see it yet. When it is finally turned dqwn by Germany, the Bolshevik party will have nowhere to go bpt out.
Conquest and Kultur (In case of war with Russia:) "We shall demand the cession of such territory as we need for straightening of our frontiers and for colonization. Evacuation of it will be required." Daniel Frymann. Wenn ich der Kaiser ware, (1911).
"War will unify the strong nation that is capable of a future and make it free, and will establish the people on a healthy substantial basis. Those are the two chief purposes of war. "A third can, however, be suggested, that a nation even when her national and fundamental interests do not coincide with those of another nation, still must rudely destroy this people's highest interests, must indeed remorselessly cut off from this foreign people the means of living for the future. It is a great, powerful nation which overturns a less courageous and frequently degenerate people and takes its territory from
it. For a great, strong people finds its house too narrow, it cannot stir and move about, cannot work and build up, cannot thrive and grow. The great nation needs new territory. Therefore it must spread out over foreign soil, and must displace strangers with the power of the sword." Klaus Wagner, Krieg, 1906.
Villa Las -changed his name to Gonzales, but changing his name will never win him any popularity. . Remember what old Bill Shake said: "A Villa by any other name would still smell like a Mexican murderer."
MAN Man eats but little here below, Nor eats that little long; 'Twas not that way long years ago When grub went for a song. The American soldier stood in the trench as the icy winds of the Vosges mountains swept about his puttees. He snuggled into his sheeplined trench coat and murmured: "I feel sorry for the poor folks back home in their heatless apartments this night." It is hinted that the kaiser may be looking for a new chancellor soon. Well, there is always La Follette. A little small for the job, perhaps, but better lhan nobody at all.

Wool for Soldiers
From St. Louis Post-Dispatch. ,
T first glance the appeal of the United States De
partment of Agriculture to farmers to raise more sheep might appear to be the product of Presi
dent Shont's pen. It begins with this Mother Goose rhyme, which is not unworthy of his versatile hand:
"Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool?" "Yes, yes, master, three bags full; One for our soldiers and one for the French, And one for the Tommies in the front-line trench." As a matter of prosaic fact, the amount of wool needed for clothing and outfitting our armies will exceed the entire wool production of the United States. In the last three years the total number of sheep in this country has decreased 1,200,000 and the wool yield has fallen off nearly 5,000,000 pounds. In 1916 the amount of wool produced was barely S9 per cent of that manufactured, and the de
ficiency is fast becoming greater as the needs of our fighting men' increase. It should never be made up by the free use of shoddy for uniforms and blankets. The Senate Committee on Military Affairs has shown how keen unscrupulous dealers are to trick the Government. Six out of seven farms in this country raise no sheep. The Government urges the farmers to lend their aid in the pressing emergency. Every one of them who raises 20 sheep provides the wool for one soldier's apparel. As they have fed the American armies, they must do their utmost also to clothe them.
WAS FEELING ALL RUN DOWN Symptoms of on-coming kidney trouble deserve prompt attention, for neglect invites serious illness. Louis
Buckner, Somerset, Va., writes: I was feeling all run down; tired, with pains in my back. After taking Foley Kidney Pills I felt like a new man." Backache, rheumatic pains, stiff joints, sore muscles, swollen ankles, pufflness under eyes, and sleep-disturbing bladder ailments yield quickly to this time-tried remedy. A boon to middleaged men and women. For sale by A. G. Luken & Co. Adv.
Pimples, sores and boils usually result from toxins, poisons and impurities which are generated in the bowels and then absorbed into the blood through the very ducts which should absorb only nourishment to sustain the body. It 13 the function of the kidneys to filter impurities from the blood and cast them out In the form of urine, but in many instances the bowels create more toxins and impurities than the
kidneys can eliminate, then the blood uses the skin pores as the next best means of getting rid of these impurities which often break out all over the skin in the form of pimples. The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says a noted authority.
is to get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of hot water each
morning before breakfast for one week.
This will prevent the formation of toxins in the bowels. It also stimulates the kidneys to normal activity, thus coaxing them to filter the blood
of impurities and clearing the skin of pimples. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with litha. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent drink which usually makes pimples disappear; cleanses the blood and la excellent for the kidneys as well. adv.

Tberc called at the house of an mincnt literary man of Boston a rather facetious individual. "Mv dear." said be to the little girl .vho "occupied the study while her father wan at dinner, "I suppose you assist your father by entertaining the bores." "Yes, sir," said the child, gravely; "plpase be seated." A professor at a western engineering college says that but for the occasional innovations in the applications of learning such as the following, for instance, he would find it difficult to Judge his usefulness: What steps would you take in determining the height of a building using an aneroid barometer?" was the question upon an examination paper. One youthful aspirant answered, "t would lower the barometer by a string and measure the string." Joseph Tumulty, secretary to the president, likes his job. but he dislikes one thing about it; that he can't tell the boys the friendly reporters about all they wish to know. He illustrated his inability to give information once by quoting the case of Johnny. lohnnv was crying in the hail as
his mother came along, batted and j
coated. She asked what had happened. ... "You are going away, and so is papa!" "Why, child, I shall be away two or three days, but father is not going away!" "Yes, he is!" cried Johnny. "He's going to Rome." "Rome? What do you mean, dear?" asked the surprised mother. "He said today to Mr. Brown that
he would make Rome howl who a you left!", : "Indeed! Well, dear! I shan't leave you now."
