Show KAISER PLANNED TO RULE WORLD AFTER OMpNTMRFARE : Thouaht Theft of Iron and Coal From France, Land From -' - n Russia, Would Pay Bill v , Planning world trade domination, If not actual world rule, as the outcome of a short six-months' campaign in ' Europe, Germany now finds herself outcast from among civilized nations, her people Impoverished, her honor Irrevocably stained by the blood of Belgium, and facing a future of fathomless Ignominy and disgrace. "I will make room for my growing people by taking some more of France and a few thousand square miles of Russia," said the Kaiser. "We will get tha Iron and coal In Northern ftgnce for manufactures which we will sell the conquered population of Russia, and this, besides Indemnities, . will more than pay for the war. . England Eng-land will not dare come in, and our merchant fleets will soon crowd her from the world trade routes. ' , , "If. the.

GERMAN GRAVES GRIM ANSWER Now, across the graves of a mil- lion of his young men, the Kaiser is - beginning to see the sun set on the smallest of his ambitions. "Poch will , never cross the Rhine,' Is now the German watohword. German cities, Shrieking beneath the visitation of allied and American airplane bombers cry ont: No more of this barbarity." Suoh cites are echoed In the ghostly laughs of thousands of Gotha. and Zeppelin victims in London and Paris. The Rhine will be crossed, and Cologne and Berlin will wince beneath be-neath the shells of . Allied guns, "Five million men In France," cries America. "Remember Belgium and and the war In 1919." To America and ber five million fighting nen In France will cpme the greater glory of the world war. But that end will not be achieved without with-out the saorlfloe of thousands of those men, nor without the most earnest and united support of those of us at home. Where we have given valiant efforts to war work here-t here-t totore, we must thrust our sholders desperately against the wheel of war preparations from now on. To no one person or class is it given to do a greater share in this war tnan any other person or class. Each must do his utmost WEIGHT RESTS ON AMERICAN FARMER Upon no one class rests a greater responsibility than upon the American Ameri-can farmer, who with his wives and sons and daughters constitutes one-third one-third of our population. He has the first and great responsibility of prc-' prc-' riding food for the nation at home, food for the fighting mer abroad, and food for our allies in the battle line and their civilian population. England, with millions of acres of parks and hunting grounds converted jpto farms can only raise crops to feed her people half the year. France, with every man in uniform, and nsarly half her fields overrun by w With Te grain fields extended by amnions of acres of new land, America Ameri-ca is responding to the calljmd aJed hunger will never be an ally to Germany. Ger-many. Billions of dollars of America's Ameri-ca's huge wsr loans are coming back to the farmer In payment for his grain and stock. The farmer, for his future honor and standing In the natloft, must see that every penny of this sum he can spare is reinvested In war loans. The Fourth Liberty Loan, now upon as, calls for but a portion of whst America must spend In wsr efforts In the next few months. It must be subscribed sub-scribed promptly and overwhelmingly. That "the man who Is not for us Is against us" is as true now as when it was written centuries ago. If YOU buy a fifty dollar bond when you COULD BUY a five hundred hun-dred dollar bond, you are not doing your full duty as an American. |
