Holland and the Hun

The Hun holds Belgium and intends to keep

it either as a conquest or under some disguise

Now he is trying to pick a quarrel with Holland with the purpose either of using it as if it were a German province or of overruning it if the little

country shows fight.

A look at the map will show why Germany

desires Holland. Treitschke long ago told the Germans they must have the mouth of the Rhine

river for military and commercial purposes

With Belgium in their possession, Holland is needed to round out the coast control which the

Huns want.

Germany demands that Holland permit not only the shipments of ordinary commodities which the Kaiser wants through her territory

but also the dispatch of war material for the teu tonic armies. This virtually would make a Ger

man province out of Holland, for the general

staff would haveHhe right to send men and mu nitions throueh Holland as if that country be

longed to Germany. Should Holland acquiesce to this demand of the European land robbers, she would be outraging her own sense of national independence and become unneutral in the extreme. Two courses are open to Holland. First, to submit tamely to the unjust demands of the Huns; secondly, to oppose to the last ditch the ultimatum of the Germans. If she acquiesces, she takes her place in history with decadent nations whose national honor has been prostituted by fear of conquest. If she resists with her army, she joins Belgium in the list of small nations whose names will be chronicled until the end of time for their heroic opposition to the claims of tyranny. Opposition to Germany involves all the hazards of war, possible destruction of her villages, and the suffering which the Kaiser inflicted on Belgium. Temporarily, Holland would be in the throes of an awful conflict. If she bows to Germany, she must expect the Allies to view her course with distrust. She will lose her colonial possessions in the East India, in the Carribean, and Dutch Guiana to the Entente Powers. Eliminating these factors, from the equation, Holland after all has only one question to answer. Will she submit tamely to the ruthless demands of a brutal foe, sacrifice her national respect on the altar, of cowardice, and cringe in craven fear before the Kaiser, or will she, remembering her glorious struggle against tryanny under William of Orange in the closing decades of the sixteenth century, enlist on the side of freedom and democracy?

Will Power "The eighth war loan must prove our will power, which is the source of everything." This is the significant statement which Ludendorff made to the Germans the other day. The military leaders of Germany have little room

for sentiment. They know that spread-eagle speeches and braggadocio will not win battles. Will power and determination to win are the factors which they emphasize and harp on. We Americans have been given an opportunity to prove our will power. The third Liberty Loan is the test. 'Not only Germany, but the Allies, and what is of infinitely greater importance our own fighters on land and sea are watching to see whether we can endure the test. Assuredly, no red-blooded American will ad

mit that our will power is weaker than that of the Germans. The non-combatants of Germany have subscribed to eight war loans. We are

trying to raise the third. The measure of our

success in raising this war credit will be the test

of our will power. The will power of our Allies has asserted it

self with power both in raising war loans and on

the battlefields of France and Flanders. The will power of our soldiers has proved it self adamantine on the front. American en

gineers with the British before Cambrai and on the southern British front have evoked the warmest praise for their battling abilities. More recently, the German press had to admit -that in

the fight at Seicheprey "the Americans continued to fight so tenaciously that they were

nearly all killed." They proved their determina tion to win even if it meant death. Shall it be said of us in disdain and with re

proach that our will power was so pusillanimous that we refused to invest in Liberty Loan bonds?

Are we such weaklings that we permit our boys

to fight unto death while we hesitate to risk

our dollars in government securities? What is

the investment we make in comparison with the life that cannot be recalled when the heart ceases to function ? Do we love our dollars more than the boys over there love the one thing that cannot be restored when the spark of life has fled? Are we Americans or decadent descendants of

the men who founded and preserved this repub lie?

The Horror of It From The Washington Post

7-HAT would the men and women of this coun

try do If they were required to pay tribute and

taxes to the Kaiser?" observed Charles B.

Landis, former member of congress from Indiana, at the Willard. "But that is what would happen if Germany

should win. The Kaiser and his crowd of Prussian ty

rants would look to America for indemnity should they

succeed. And It is slowly filtering into the minds of our

people that this is what would be expected. Every man

and woman and child who spent money for anything

whatsoever would have to pay a tax to the Kaiser; when

they bought a newspaper, tobacco, candy and other

things.

. "Perish the thought! It cannot be. ' Of course, the Kaiser would have to come over here to collect, and be would have a mighty bard time doing it, but just the

same, that is the Idea that is in the brain of the insane Prussian ruler, and in the minds also of a great many

misguided and deceived Germans.

"America will pay? The very thought that such an

idea or hope consumes the Germans should arouse pur people all over the country. There should be no hesitation now to subscribe to the liberty loan, and I must say

that the response so far in every section indicates that

the neople have become aroused. It is well. The Kaiser

and Germany cannot defeat America if every one of us will do his duty with money and energy and effort. It has taken too long to make us realize what this war means to us. Too many of our people were of the belief that the other fellows would do it, and that all we had to

do was to lend our moral and financial support. It is up

to the United States to bear the burden of the war, and I am convinced that this is sinking into the minds and souls

of all of us."

By HAL POD So much of this rumor going about leads one to believe that a slight change In the old adage will about fill the bill. "One touch of rumor makes the whole world chin." ' Really, don't you know, Richmond girls are not as bad as they are painted. Iast Sunday we broke a regular habit and got up in time to go to church. While listening to the singins it occurred to us that enough strength U wasted to wipe Germany off the face of the map by people holding up hymn books who don't know a b flat note from the last rose of summer. A photographer writes up from Camp Shelby that he succeeded in getting an excellent photograph of the recent cyclone down there. When we see that picture mebbe we'll believe it. Any photographer who can go put and face a cyclone, set up his camera, make the said cyclone hold up its head and look pleasant long enough to have its picture taken, has got to show us. The meanest man lives right here in Richmond. He's an organist and the other day a woman he used to go with got married In the church. What did he do but play. "When You and I Were Young, Maggie." Whatever else the farmers around here grow this year it's a cinch they aren't going to have any chance to grow lazy. 'why leave Richmond in search of a change of climate? In the last week we've had rain, sunshine, warmth, cold, calm and storms. Stick around and mebbe the weather man has got a few more up his sleeve.

Our 'doctor said he'd put us on our feet in two weeks when we had that serious attack of rheumatism recently. He did, too, because we had to sell our automobile to pay his bill. There is a man in Wayne county who signs his name A. Swindler. The other day he registered at a local hotel and the clerk told him to write his full name as merely the initial made the thing look too suggestive. "Where do you get that stuff?" the man wanted to know. "My full name is Adam Swindler. How would that look?" v A paper published in a town not very far from here has been running a weekly story by installments, the name of which is "The Truth." Last week it became necessary, because of much news matter, for the paper to leave out the week's installment of

It is a pity that the long-range German gun hasn't got a kick commensurate with its firing capacity. It would back up as far as Berlin with each shot. Our idea of nothing to worry about is the statement of a circus expert to the effect that the elephant does not live as long as the turtle. What we want to know is whether autocracy lives as long as democracy. Russia's national flag in the future will be a solid field of red bearing the following words: - "Rosslskay Sotzialyiticheskaya Federatlvnaya Sovietskaya Republika." Why leave off "Bullshevikowska"?

DINNER 5TORIEi A journalist visited an insane asylum to get material for an article and was shown over the establishment by one of the inmates, who was so Intel ligent that it was almost impossible to believe he could be out of his head.

"And what are you in here for, my

man?" asked the journalist at length. Immediately a cunning look came into the man's eyes and he looked about him warily.

"I'll tell you, if you'll keep it dark," he said, lowering his voice. "I have a mania for swearing. I write 'cuss

words' all around. It's great sport

Why, they have to hire a man just to follow me round and rub 'em out, but,"

An Inside Bath Makes You Look and Feel Fresh

Says a glass of hot water with phosphate before breakfast keeps Illness away.

Physicians the world over recom

mend the Inside bath, claiming this is

of vastly more importance than out

side cleanliness, because the skin

pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing ill health,- while the

pores in the ten yards of bowels do.

Men and women are urged to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harmless means of helping to wash

from the stomach, liver, kidneys and

bowels the previous day's indigestible

materials, poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. Those who wake up with bad breath, coated tongue, nasty taste or have a dull, aching head, sallow complexion, acid stomach ; others who are subject to bilious attacks or constipation, should obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store. This will cost very little but is

sufficient to demonstrate the value of

inside bathing. (Adv.)

Girls! Juice of Lempns Clears and Whitens Skin

Prepare a quarter pint of lemon beauty lotion at the cost of a small jar of ordinary cold cream

The juice of two fresh lemons strained into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whole quarter pint of the most remarkable lemon skin beautifier at about the cost one must pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold creams. Care should be taken to strain the lemon juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sal-

lowness, and tan and is the ideal skin softener and beautifier. Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy or toilet counter and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint

of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands. It naturally

! should help to soften, freshen, bleach,

If yon are bothered with any cutaneous blemish. It's a poor plan to use fiaint, powder or anything else to cover 5 up. Too often this only emphasizes the defect. Besides, it's much easier to remove the disfigurement with ordinary roeroollzed wax. Applied nightly, the wax will gradually- remove freckles, pimples, moth patches, liver spots, sallowness, red blotches or any surface eruption. The affected cuticle is actually absorbed, a little each day, until the clear, soft, youthful and beautiful skin beneath Is brought wholly to view. . Ask the druggist for one ounce of mercollzed wax and use this like you use cold cream. Remove In the morning with soap and water. Many who have tried this simple, harmless treatment report astonishing results.
