Although Germany, while yet a
"friend," Intrigued against our peace
and order, urged Japan and Mexico to
make war on us, and murdered our
men, women and children, there are
those among us professing loyalty and
Intelligence who practically nay this ls
not our war and appear unable to real
ize that the defeat of the buche is as
vi tul to us Americans ns was the vic
tory of 1776.
Then NM* declared for Independence ;
now we fight to maintain lt.
It ls not merely that we fight In
answer to Indignity and material In
Jury done us through attack on our
rights as a nation and on the lives
of our citizens not merely to uphold
our place among gelf-respectlri^ peo?
pie?-that we are at war; but literally
for our self preservation as a republic.
To muzzle this war-mad wild beast
wc have taken up arms-that the
world shall bo safo for the freemen of
the world.
The world cannot rest In pcaco while
Germany holds the destiny of other
peoples In her blood-dripping hands.
Thc world cannot live In peace with
a people that commits, or permits her
sponsors to commit In her name, the
foul acts of treachery, of vandalism,
of bestinllty, of murder, that have
marked the trail of the German army
over Europe.
One doctrine or the other must pre
vail ; either the German brutal right of
might or U>o clvlllxod might of right
one or the other -munt succumb In this
conflict to tho death. And should lt
bo the Ccajnun doctrine -then ?hall we
fall under the domination of a people
that have robbed and rapod and looted
and burned and killed, that the
"kultur" of a military oligarchy shall
live.
Prussianlsm ls devoid of honor,
truth, Justice or mercy, as ita own acts
have proved, and Its defeat la a neces
sary Hist step for tho pence of the
world and the freedom of cl vii I nu ion.
For the safety of American Institu
tions lt must be destroyod ; for the
safety of American freedom, yours am!
mine and of all of us.
We are tn Ihe midst of war, our war,
(he war of every freeman, of every
mun and woman who does not Indorse
cowardly murderous assault upon the
weak and Innocent, brutal Injustice,
und atrocious acts; and If we would
preserve the Stars and Stripes and all
they stand for we must fight the Huns
abroad and the pacifists at home with
all our strength.

Paris, Oct. ?.-Jules Ca ni bon, the

ures in French affairs, said to tho
Associated Press to-day:
I
"At tiie moment that Hie Central
powers address themselves to Presi- ,
dent Wilson to obtain an armistice
and begin negotiations for peace, tho
Gorman armies renew the horrors
they have been committing in all of
tho occupied territory.
"St. Quentin. hens, Cambrai,
Douai are burned, mined, ruined.
Having formerly been prefect of the
department of the North, I know
what this new horror means to the
regions devastated by the German
armies. These represent the. ruh
est territory of France, where the
largest industrial establishments
are localed. All these centers have
a glorious past. They are filled
with splendid monuments and mu- !
seums and libraries of priceless
treasurers. In Cambrai stands tho
tomb of the illustrious Fenelon.
"Ono cannot view without pro
found sadness all the ruins the Gor
man invaders are leaving behind
them- - ruins that represent not only
material losses, but moral losses as
well.
"The conduct of the Gorman ann
ies is nn outrage to civilization and

APPROVES WILSON INQUIRY.
lt ls Felt that II IN Note Covora tho
dorman Situntioii.
Paris, Oct. 9.-President Wilson's
reply to the German peace note was
published in the noon editions of the
newspapers to-day and was greeted
with general satisfaction and ex
pressions of approval throughout
Paris.
"The note could not be Improved
upon; substitute Paris for Washing
ton as tho date line, and the reply
might have been dictated here," ls
an epitome of French opinion as in
dicated by the popular reception of
tho Presidential document.
"The note could not be Improved
upon," was the concensus of opin
ion when the newspapers containing
the note came out, and the people
literally fought for copies of the
editions of the Paris papers. The
noto was reproduced in these jour
nals In heavy, black type under big
headlines.
So Kospito Given.
The significant passage In the note
in which President Wilson refuses to
entertain the possibility of a cessa
tion of hostilities, and demanding
tho immediate withdrawal of the
German troops is interpreted in mil
itary circles as meaning that the
Allies will give the Germans no res
pite in their retreat .

WHAT THE VICTORY OR !
DEFEAT OF GERMANY ;
MEANS TO EVERY AMERICAN :
(Contributad by ALBERT PAYSON J
TERHUNE, author and globe trotter, (
lo the National Security League's (
campaign of Patriotism Through Edu- (
cation.) i
Germany's victory would mean all 1
that the alarmists hare said-the set
back of humanity, democracy, civiliza- '
tlon, rights of man, etc. But, to Amer
ica, ii would mean infinitely more.
It would mean our first national de
feat ; and, thus, would smash our per
fect record for victories-a record as
old as our nation-a record that means
moro than the right to brag. Even as
a beaten army never wholly regains Its
old form-even as a beaten ring cham
pion sinks at once Into desuetudo-so
our nation (Its traditions of victory
gone) would suffer far worse deteriora
tion than the mero fact of defeat could
Indict.
It would mean th?t the man who has
risked all In his country's struggle for
Bight could never again feel his former
calm certainty that Right must tri
umph. Thun, the moral tone of the In
dividual, as well as of the nation,
would Inevitably be lowered.
This country has never embarked In
a war of conquest. From 1775 to the
present we have fought for Liberty or
for Union or for the Oppressed-ever
for some sterling principle of right.
From childhood we have been taught
to believe that the high unselfishness
of our war alms has given us the vic
tory. We have seen the decay or de
struction of men and nations that have
battled for dominion-as Germany ls
now battling. Should we fall In this,
our mightiest war for the Right, the
average man must lose forever the
simple Faith which has led our dear
country from nothingness to Its pres
ent estate. For that Fuith, more than
for anything else, our sacrifice ls a
hundredfold Justified.

HOW TO AVOID
BACKACHE AND
NERVOUSNESS
Told by Mrs. Lynch From
Own Experience?
Providence, R. I.-"I was all run
".down in health, was nervous, had head
aches, my back
ached all the time.
I wus tired and had
no ambition for any
thing. I had taken
a number of medi
cines which did mo
no good. Ono day
I read about Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound and
what it had done for
women, so I tried
it. My nervousness
and backache and
headaches disappeared. I gained in
weight and feel line, so I can honestly
recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound to any woman who is
Buffering ns I was."- Mrs. ADELINE B
LYNCH, 100 Plain St., Providence, R, I.
Backache and nervousness oro symp
toms or nature's warnings, which in
dicate a functional disturbance or an
unhealthy condition which often devel
ops into a more serious ailment
Women in thia condition ohould not
