! WHAT GERMAN DONIN
WORLD MEAN!
At Sumter the other night Hon.
John L?. McLaurift delivered a remarkable
address to a large gathering
?f citizens. His address was
remarkable because it covers in a
plain and simple manner, the many
problems growing out of the world
war. It is a speech worth studying?
the more you study it the more it
mii*irattnt you. -file Herald is reproducing
the speech from the Sumter
Watchman and Southron:
On Go?d Friday a great congrega
tioa worshipping God in a church in :
Paris were buried beneath the ruins
by a German shell. How typical of;
the aims and purposes of Germany j
--the destruction of the foundation (
of civilization, in order that a new ;
Kultur may arise upon the mangled
and mutilated bodies of Belgium and
France. Is history about to repeat
itself? Itead in Crecy's 15 decisive
battles of the world of the battle of
Chalons near the site of the present .
gigantic conflict Ve haven't heard
much of the woru Hun until since the
devastation of France and Belgium.
How like the Kaiser was Attilla.
The open and avowed puprose of Attilla
was thy destruction of Christian
civilization. H?? ovprran l-n ?>.?*? ?.>n
iiig himself "the scourge of God." He
boasted of the desolation following
in Ins wake. He ordered his soldiers
to outrage women, mutilate children
and to ravage and destroy, so that
other nations might be cowed into
submission. Wives and Virgins were
outraged in the presence of husbands,
fathers and brothers and
then either murdered or sent into
slavery. Nor does the parallel stop
there, Attilla like the Kaiser was no
uneducated barbarian, hut possessed
the greatest learning and highest
culture possible in those times, lie
was a statesman and general of
great ability. Hear what the historian
says: "Attilla relied less on the
brute forces of armies for the aggrandizement
of his empire than on
the unbounded affection of his
friends and the '.ears of his foes
which his genius enabled him to ac- '
quire. Austerly sober in his private
life; severely just on the judgment
seat; conspicuous among a nation
of warriors for hardihood, strength
and skill in every material exercise;
prsivh n nH H/?ll ? - ? " *?*
? ..uu uctiuciair ill i-uuncil, DUl
rapid and remorseless in execution,
he gave safety and security to all
who were under his dqininion, while (
he waged a warfare of extermination ,<
against all who opposed or sought to , 1
escape from it. He watched the na- i
tional passions, the prejudice, the ':
creeds and the superstittions of the (t
various nations over which he ruled 1
and of those which he sought to re-ji
duce beneath his sway; all of these t
feelings he had the skill to turn to n
his account; his own soldiers be- t
lieved him inspire of God and fol- t
lowed him with fanatic zeal. ' c
He called himself "The Bread of.t
the world," by the grace of God.jV
King of the Huns and Goths." What ;a
a pen picture of the present Kaiser, v
telling his soldiers to make the name 1
German feared for a thousand years, f
to rape. burn, pillage and destory in 's
the name of God Calling a treaty t
"a scrap of paper." striking at the.r
life of nations, by forcing wiv?s and 'e
virgins to motherhood; sending men ;d
and women into slavery to work the ,
mines, till the soil and gratify the j p
brutal lust of the Ileast in man; ii
turning the world into a charnel I
house that the ambition of one trnin t
for world dominion may be gratified. \
Nor does the parallels between the 1
battle of Plcardy and Chalons stop
with the character of the Kaiser and l
Attilla. Attill'.i was lighting the i
emhatt'ed hosts of Christendom and i
staked bis empire on one stroke. <
When the battle bey an to go against I
him, he piled bis treasure in the oen |
tor of the camp and placed himself
on top of it, with the intention of i
setting it on lire and dying in the i
Haines So the Kaiser Iras staked till <

LIVER DIDN'T I
DIGES
Says 65 year Old Kentucky Lady,
After a Few Doses
/
Meadorsvllle. Ky.?Mrs. Cyuthia
Higgiubotham, of this town, says: "At
ray age, which is 65, the liver does
not act so well as when young. A few
years ago, my stomach was all out of
fix. I was constipated, my liver
didn't act. My digestion was bad, and
It took so little to upset me. My appetite
was gone. I was very weak...
I decided I would give BlackDraught
a thorough trial as I knew it
wma highly recommended for this
trouble. I began tak'ng it. I felt i
better after a few doses. My appetite
Improved and I became stronger. My
bowels acted naturally and the least (

IATION OF THE
5 TO FREE AMERICANS
<lrivo. am^again Attilla and the mod
em Huns will finally fall.
Ex-Ambassador Gerard in his book
tells of a conversation he had with
the Kaiser in 1915. He spoke of how
lie had studied the lives of Alexander.
Caesar and Napoleon. "They
dreamed of world empire and failed."
"I too have dreamed of world empire
and my mailed fist shall succeed."
Once more on the Marne and
the Somme, brave France is defending;
with her manhood the advancing
hun. Civilization can never pay its
debt to bleeding fluttering France.
She checked the Huns 1500 years
ago, ?nd again 300 years later under
Charles Martel. at Tours. She
thrust back the Mohamendan hordes,
who were overrunning the world. In
1776 when we were struggling for
freedom. France came to ojr aid. 1
doubt if we would ha\e achieved
independence at that time without
the guns, ammunition an'd trained
otlieers sent by France. France has
kept alive the feeble spark of human
liberty. In 1785 it sprang into a
bright tlaine and struck the divine
light of kings a death blow, to be
almost drowned in the blood C the
French revolutions, but flickering
feebly she passed it through the
hands of Jefferson and Franklin to
the I'nited States. It is now symbolized
b> the great glowing torch of the
Statute of Liberty at the mouth of
our greatest harbor.
The eyes of the whole world are
turned on that torch today. The
HllllS art* lliroaloniniT t i\ fnvovnr
quench its liKlits. Hut there are
brave men from America from England
and from France offering their
lives a sacrifice on that same field
of Chalons, and the same God who
looked down upon its blood soaked
ground still rules above. Again the
despairing cry of a heart broken
world conqueror will be wafted down
the ages, a lesson and a warning.
The lillies of France will spring forth
again, whiter and purer, fertilized
by the blood of brave men, and watered
by the tears of true women.
With all of her military power,
boasted efficiency and 40 years of
pre|*uration, these modern Huns will
go down before the frown of God and
the outraged conscience of a world
in arms. Fellow citizens; ft seems to
me that divine power was never
more manifested, than in having
Wood row Wilson in this great world
crisis. Let us thank God for the
liumble professor, now the foremost
nan in the world. He says this is
? war for Democracy against Auocracy.
The other day at Baltinore
when the Huns were driving
>ur lines back and dark clouds hov>ied
on the horizon, he gave the
vorld a message, the only message
hat the Huns understand: "I accept
he challenge, I know that you acept
it. It shall appear in the uter
sacrice and self forgetfulness in
rhich we shall give all that we love
ihi an mat wo nave to redeem the
ford and make it fit for free men
ike ourselves to live in. Force,
nice to the utmost, force without
tint or limit, the righteous and
riumphant force, which shall make
ight the law of the world, and cast
very selfish dominion down in the
est
While developing a great military
lower at home, one of the most eficient
means Germany has used is
ter propaganda creating German senimenl
in all the countries in the
vorld. When the otfice of Wolf von
ngel at No. 60 Wall street was raid *1
by secret service men, they found
iioof of plots to destroy ships, burn
Munition plants and funds to organize
tin* I W. W. They found where
ight million dollars was given Dolo

In a secret speech of the
Kaiser to a German organization
read recently to a Congressional committee,
lie said that he controlled I

ministration did not dare go to war
Look at the working of the system
in Italy. Russia and the Balkans. 1
I do not believe that all Germans arc
| disloyal to the United States. The
Germans came here seeking refuge
from tyrgnny at home and when the
test comes the majority will be true.
- Germans began to come here after
the "thirty years wars" which made
: Germany a howling wilderness. This
i was a religious war. The Prostestant
f armies robbed, burned and killed the
Catholics and the Catholics did the
same for the I'rostestants. You know
' when pious people get to killing each
other for Christ's sake,they do it very
thoroughly. The population of Germany
sank from 16 to 4 million.
Cannibalism reappeared, the gallows
had to be guarded to keep people
from d^VOlirincr tho nnrnooo Honnr1U?

from the ropes. Where thriving
towns had been wolves roamed unmolested.
Degraded, brutalized and
poverty stricken the miserable Germans
fled from devastated fields and
burning homes down the Rhine to
Amsterdam where they sold themselves
to ship captains for the price
of passage to a new world. The rulers
of Germany drove the people
from the Fatherland, the stream
kept up- men coming over to escape
military service and heavy taxation.
They were received with open arms,
given the right of citizens. They have
grown rich and powerful. St. Louis,
| Milwakuee and Detroit are largely
built by German energy anil thrift.
This is a well considered attempt
by Germany to dominate the entire
world, and every nation figures in
these plans. Russia is to be cut up
into provinces; her ignorant peasantry
is to furnish cheap labor and the
I'kraine is to be the great food producing
region. The Balkans are to
furnish from their fields supplies of
oil rnnt irnn ami r.wwl T..-1
hi* a gateway to the teeming millions
ol the Orient for the manufactured
products of Germany. The population
of Belguim and France is to be destroyed
and the fertile lands turned
over to German settlement. Germany
is to extend from Berlin to Bagdad
to the south and the shores of the
Caspian sea to the East. England is
to be shorn of her commercial power
and her great navy come uuder German
control. The part assigned to
the United States is to pay the expenses
of it all. There are some who
scout at the idea of actual invasion
of the United States by Germany. It
is easy to see how this will come.
Germany for many years has had her
eye on South America and given the
power she will confiscate the British
interests in Mexico. The great oil
fields at Tampico with the railroad
from the Pacific to the Atlantic will
pass under German contro?; ibis
puts her between us and the Panama
Canal which she will sei<e on some
pretext. She will teach uermau '.\ultur
and efficiency to the peon.; in
Mexico and keep a stand'ng army in
that country. She cri con ;uar America
and never Land a soldier here.
All that she wot'd have to do is *.o
force France. England and other European
countries to adopt a German |
system of finance and make Amer-1
ican labor and products pay tribute.;
She would have a tariff ' ia'e of,
exchange so arranged '.hut every
pound of cotton that left these shores !
would be paid for ' > a bill of ex-1
change drawn thivu.;h i!i?* ir?ii>< rin' ?
Hank of Berlin a proportion of which '
would go in the Herman treasury.!
The custom houses the world over
would levy a tax on each article
which came into or left the United
States. When this becomes so bur-'
densome that our people refused to (
submit she wjiuld have an army in
Mexico to invade us from the South.,
No my friends this is our war and!
it is up to us to break Prussian mil-]
itarism and to destroy the power of;
this modern Atlilla while the other
nations of the world are able to render
aid. It we wait to meet this
mighty force until after Kurope hits
been con.quered and all of the resources
of the civilized world concentrated
in Germany's hands, our
children's children will be the slaves
of the most powerful and despotic
government that the world has seen
since the beginning' of time.
There are plenty of American
traitors, not all ot them of German
.descent, who from aval ice and am-|
'lotion would welcome the advent of
j Germany and seek place and power
I under her. These would be placed
lin charge of the confiscated property
of loyal citizens, and the government
[conducted through them. The Kaisei
boasts of 2T>0,00V German and
I Austrian reserves in America, ready
to strike when the word is given
land tliev will strike at the lirst oiv
|.oi t unity. Look at Russia, Belgium,
; Franca, Siberia and Kouuiania.
I There Jias been some harsh critiiaism
of the administration for not ac'
eomplishing mora during this war.
I This ha> coma from two sources,
ona haadad by Kx-l'resident Itoosevalt
who is probably sore because be
was not permitted to go to France
at the head of a division. No one
doubts the patriotism of Col. Roosevelt,
but I cannot help think that
his criticisms are unjust and that he
is endeavoring to make political capital
out of the war. There are others
who were opposed to our country
|going into the war and who went as
I far as they dared in encouraging re
sistance to the draft. Some of these
men are in the pay of Germany and
have behind them a German constituency.
Others are going as far
as they can and keep out of the penitentiary
from sheer general cussedness.
I have put myself to some
trouble to see what this country has
