CERM.45Y TO FORCE PEACE iYITII RUSSIA IVwerful Teuton Naval Squadron Moves From Llbau on Riga For Attack.

The land and sea drive cm Petrograd, officially predicted by ixie xtussiau war uiuve, is e.\pei;iou :tc become a fact within 48 hours. And the reichstag meets tomorrow. Irrelevant as these two events may sem on the face of them, they are in fact, intimately connected in the -opinion of observers here. When the reichstag adjourned some weeks ago the confidence waskfreely predicted in ^German quarters that when it recon-, rened the imperial chancellor would be able to announce to the world the conclusion of separate peace between the central powers and Russia; or, if not actual peace, at least an armis tice, a beginning of an 'understand ing. Time Passed. "Will Bethmann-Hollweg now tell jKassia. again tnrougn me reiciisiag, -that the time for waiting has passed; Ifcat if she does not make peace now ?nd immediately the Geriian arms will force it?" ^This question strongly suggested it self today to well-informed students i <of the international situation. Germany, it is argued, wants to ?jiminate Russia from the war at all costs. She must do so while the mili tary disorganization in Russia is at 5ts work?and German critics have j aserted that it cannot be worse than' it is now?and before American am munition and supplies have given Russia a new life as a belligerent.

The lawyer and the doctor have been trained for their work. They are en-1 titled to w'liat they get for their ser vices.

If the children are badly taught, per-, mitted to be careless and slovenly m their habits of work and thought, the future of the country will be in graM peril. Nothing can be more important than the teacher's work. .Nothing can mean so much to the country. Everybody is fully aware of this, yet few people seem willing that teachers should receive the pay that their work is worth. When there is a proposal to raise the pay of teachers, a howl goes up from one end of the community to the other.

Diekert.) The hour has struck at last that - is to call our young men from their . dally toils to exploit on the fields of s Mars, r or two >ears vve nave u?eu J; expecting it. Some hoped for, some i dreaded, and others were indifferent | But the time for talk is over, wheth ' i er we like it or not, "it is not for 1 us to ask the reason why, but go in -I and do or die." But in the beginning t of this, our greatest struggle, where i will be our place in the vast battle s; front? And what is Germany's dead 1 j ly sin, that calls the world to arms I j to defeat her? What has she done t to us taai cans to arms inuiiona 01 ,' our best young men? Everything that Germany has done to her ene- j - \ mies, nearly every sin she has com- j tj mitted, England did or would have - j done, had she "been like situated. Wa* l it because she blockaded England's,' ' ports and sunk her ships? England first instituted the blockade against j Germany and Belgium when mil-) \ lions of women and children were' i j crying for bread and would have i; sunk her ships, but she had open > ports in which she could run captur- j ed ships. Then she needed the cargo.1 England claims she was forced into the war for the way Germany did ^'Belgium. Why England -did poor! 1! helpless Greece, worse by far. Ger f many is censured for her submarine' warfare. England has hundreds of them, and building others as fast as she can. So is the United States.! She has given orders for one thous-! and in one order. If they are not to sink enemies ships what do nations want with them? , j But leaving all the right and wrong out of the question, what do we want with this overwhelming number or soldiers? j To fight Germany after two years I of the most bloody, wasting and con i tinual combat? After Germany has j lost the flower of her army and now I drawing upon all of her reserves? For two years she has been in battles J with the strongest nations on. earth I and her loss in life has been unpre cedented. After all these losses ana her enemies comparatively fresh why should our million of men be needed? I i ?Whv is it necessary for us to ex pend those billions of dollars and take from our producing population, the men in our agricultural fields, our workshops, mines and railroads to ' rush them across the seas to engage in a war they are not interested, had no part in bringing it about and in no way consulted in the right or, wrong of the cause. The. leader! tells us our honor has been encroach-1 ed upon, that some of our citizens have been needlessly drowned and some of our ships were sunk. Ger-f many, when the United States lodged I her nrotest against this wanton dia-j truction of ships and lives upon the j high seas, offered indemnity for all damage done contrary to interna tional law and was willing to give up this kind of warfare if the presi dent would exact from her enemies a like observance of these rules. England paid no attention to the pro-) test or tne umieu oia. tea, uui v,uu tinued her depredation upon the high seas. Germany then flung the black banner to the breeze and defied all coiners. She gave all the world fair notice. She did nothing underhand-j ed. When we come to a summing up the damage and outrage she has done to us, up to the time she com ? 1?- "-" vtnnc oomnaiVrt 1 mencea on utr i uiuicod v.auii??*DU of her submarines, what do we find? A few of our white citizens on bel ligerent ships and from which they had been duly .warned were drowned, j but in most cases those that were! drowned were negroes, hired to take passage and attend to horses and mules, in transit for the allies. Now is our honor of so shaky a commodity that it could be damaged! or lost by us not going to war; raise! an army of two million of our best men; at an expenditure of two or three billions of dollars? Are tnese two or three hundred vagabond ne groes worth the outlay? Other neu tral nations did not think so. Where is the mother in this broad land who would be willing to see her son cross the sea and fight in these bloody bat tles for half the negroes in the coun try? "While I have never seen the nec oViin or intn war on such essuy ui us i little provocation, still if I was a young man I would enlist on the first opportunity. And I advise every young man who has no one left at home dependent on him for a living to volunteer. We must go with our country, right or wrong. Follow the flag. Wherever your flag waves that is your country. But do our leaders really want this army to fight Ger many? J have no idea of it. Some of our troops may cross the Atlantic, and all of them may be called into camp, but none will ever fire a gun in battle. In the first place, it would take tweiV6 monLflS IU miac, wifeaux-v-1 and equip that many men: We would have to "build ships to transport them, 250 ships for the men and that many more for wagons, artillery, horses, provisions, etc. This would take sev eral months more, for we have no ships of our own and the allies need every one of theirs to bring them: supplies and munitions of war from America. Jn that time the war will be ended, one way or the other. They don't need men in the allies ranks. They have more men now than places to fight. Japan has de clared war. SNone of her soldiers have "been ordered out. Italy, too, declared war two years ago. She has one and a half million of well trained soldiers, yet we hear little j of her fighting, only along the moun-; tain passes. The allies have in the field three men to the central pow-j ers two. Then the allies have 700,- j 000 in reserve camps. England has' i hor vast mlnnial Dossessions to draw! from. Then why this call for so vast an army? It is simply this. One faction in congress and all our army officers have been clamoring for an army, commemaarato 7?itb, our standing among nations of the! r first-class. There was another class < that cried down erery attempt to i : j enlarge our standing army. Said It j wa-3 dangerous to a republic, that ii 1 v.aa uiiuciuocratic and a useless ex-; i Denditure of the peoples' moDey. The . officers of our army were accused of ; selfish purposes, etc. It needed just l such scare a war lor congiess io voce t i the appropriation and call out troops. I j Then our people who shouted so ] i loudly that the "two seas were our j i best army" and a "volunteer force i could be raised over night, that could j whip the world" was all a delusion. < Our new war crafts have put the seas j < out of running and our Taunted vol- j t I unteer army is simply not in it. It i took twelve months to raise an army ] of 100,000 men to keep Mexico back over the border. Then how lon^ ^ would it take to raise an army of i,- i 000,000 by the same principle. aow nere is "tiie negro in me, j wood pile" and, all there is to this | j great war scare in Germany and tne ! j people will see it. Our thinking and | j observant statesmen, wlio have the - ? good and welfare of our country at J heart, know that beyond the dark j * waters of the Pacific is a little island i ^ kingdom with l.welre million, the best1 trained, most daring an-d fearless soldiers in the world. Every school , boy is a trained soldier, in fact the whole island is a trained camp. These people have it in for us about- a > j treaty made with the general govern | ment, but they claim it was abro-! gated by the State governments. It j seems that the two governments' went into an agreement without con-! t suiting the States, allowing emigrants.j c from the respective countries certain' ? liberties ana privileges wnen tney j < emigrated to the different countries.; s It was to be a mutual affair, but { ^ when the legislatures of California, t " New Mexico, Arizonia. and . other | Western States met, they changed1 t all of this as they had the right un- \ der States laws. s They forbad the Japaneses from so- t mg 10 ineir scnooia, ironi uwmiig i lands and curtailed the number oi.i orientals working on buildings, and t in many ways forbad the Japanese' i '"cm liberties allowed our people in i the East. Wheri the little brown ( men kicked up a rumpus about it con- j gress told them these were States rights and the general government < could not interfere with them. j Now these orientals can't see or r understand how a State or province t within a government can have greuw i i er power than the head government j ? itself. It took all the persuasion and j entreaties of our congressmen ana! ^ even our president had to lend :t] ( to indnre those State govern-' ( ?ents to modify their State laws and j hring them in harmony with the ? treaty stipulations.
