It-is absolute fact, and ought to be read generally. Our people should know what manner of enemy they are going to Europe to fight, and t some interesting and startling revelations will be found in "The German War Practices." Arthur Guy Empey, author of "Over the Top," is trying to get back into the service. He served as a machine gun man with the British army until he was incapacitated from wounds and discharged. He still lacks a great deal of being what he once was; but he dobs not think he S^*x has "done his bit." He wants to go to the front again with the American army and has offered himself to the president. The president has ordered his reexamination, and if possible to let him in again, he will be recalled.?Yorkville Enquirer. Sergt.v Empey's story; "Over the f,Top," viH be-published serially in The Herald beginning ' in an early issue. It is an intensely interesting * story and ought to be read by evgev / erybody. Look for the first installfe: ment. M . The legislative committee appointi|y ed to investigate the case of Former gv Chief Game Warden Richardson completed its work last week and made jjp? * its. report.All of the charges, except t; one, were sustained in the majority -i. report. A minority report, signed by one member of the committee, was also made. Now that the investigation has been held and the report l&v piade, we hope everybody is satisfied. ||c- ^Both sides expressed their entire satv isfaction with the personnel of the committee. It is not clear to underSg^^etahd what has been gained. There |p* appears to be too much tendency towards' investigating thfese days. The SpiP governor was acting clearly within his rights in vetoing the game war||^.tden act, and it was proper that he ?Rr- jahould assign his reasons for so doWe do not see that there was |||r really any reason for an investigation at ail, ??> ? Germany's De?p Laid Plot Against T7s --.> ; ' iipy VThe most dangerous foe df Ger~: :y v many in this generation will nrove t?^ be the United States." Thus jpfp.^ prophesied Dr. Otto Hotsch, profes- PS&sor at the war academy in Berlin, ffl&i' in an article in the Alldeutsohe Blat; ter, on August 23, 1902, and the I learned doctor has certainly* prophesied better than he knew. How completely America has upset the whole German apple-cart can only be appreciated when it is realized that decades ago Germany planned first ,t? conquer Europe and then to attack and dominate an isolated and helpless America. Open avowals of this .conspiracy have been collected .by the pat United States Government in a brochure entitled, "Conquest and KulIvj.? *tur," compiled by Professors Notes* tein and Stoll, of the University of 75 Minnesota^ and issued by the com- [ 7 mittee on public information at V- Washington. From the evidence there Collected it can be seen that 2 the Germans have been by no means |t' reticent about their intentions, and they seem to have calculated upon r the good-natured^*Anglo-Saxon's refusal to believe the Teuton capable of such depths of long-sighted vil; lainy. This side of the question is emphasized by the committee on pubvlic information when it. quotes the Jetter of Dr. W. T. Hornaday in the New York Tribune of August 11, 1915, containing the statements made v. +r? hv Mni *\T A Rnilpv whn recounts how he traveled with Count F- Vt von Goetzen, one of Germany's mili|3? attaches, from Santiago, Cuba, S&* f immediately after the Spanish-Amerip canvwar. On their way to America Count von Goetzen confided to Major j Bailey, twenty years in advance, the ||te history of the beginning of this war, and Major Bailey's account runs: "Apropos of a discussion , . . on the friction between Admiral Dewey jsrfs: \ and the German Admiral at Manila, yon Goetzen said to me: 'I will tell you something of which you had bet - . tpr make a note of.' I am not afraid ?"*- - . - <. to tell you this because if you do ' speak of it, no one would believe you and everybody will laugh at you. " 'About fifteen years from now my country will start the great war. She Will be in Paris in about two (.months after the commencement of jS: .hostilities. Her move on Paris will he hut a step to her real object?the ^ ^ crushing of England. Everything <v wJU move like clockwork. We will | be prepared and others will not be prepared. I speak of this because 1 of the connection which it will have ; with your own country. " 'Some months after we finish i our work in Europe, we will take New York, and probably Washington, and hold them for some time._ We will put your country in its place ; with reference to Germany. We do not propose to take any of your territory, but we do intend to take a billion or more dollars from New York and other places. The Monroe Doctrine will be taken charge of by us, as we will then have put you in your place, and we will take charge of South America as far as we want to.' " The project of an invasion of j America subsequent to a German j. victory in Europe was developed at! great length in 1901 by Baron von j Edelsheim in his book "Operations j Upon the Sea," and it should be j recollected that when he wrote it he ; was in the service oUthe German gen- j eral staff. He said, probably with some foreknowledge of German hab- j its in conquered countries: "The fact that one or two of her ! provinces are occupied by invaders j would not alone move the Americans j to sue for peace. To accomplish this | end, the invaders would have to in-, flict real material damage by injur- j ing the whale country through the j successful seizure of many of the j Atlantic ports, in which the threads j of the entire wealth of the natioivj meet. It should be so managed that j a line of land operations would be in i close juncture with the fleet, through | which we would be in a position to | seize in a short time many of these j important ana ricn ciues, iu iulcirupt their means of supply, disorganize all governmental affairs, assume the control of all useful buildings, confiscate all war-and-transpoi*t supplies, and lastly to impose heavy indemnities ... as a matter of fact, Germany is the only great power which is in a position to conquer the United States." There has been a slight dislocation in this interesting programme, but a \ 4 ! still more marked miscalculation was made regarding x the German immi- j grant and his functions, which were, | of course, to prepare the way for the i ultimate absorption of America into ! the bosom ' of the Fatherland,: and until that happy day arrived he was to assist by every j means in his power that programme 1 of active Germanization of American j institutions -which he knew to have i been directed from Berlin. For ex- > ample, Wilhelm Hubbe-Schleiden, writing in the Alldeutsche Blatter in 1903, said: ' "It is the duty of every one who loves languages to see that the future language spoken in America shall be German. It is of the highest import-' , i ? 4-u_ ctJLLUt; IU nccp up tilt; UC1 uiau iau5ua5c in America, to establish German universities, improve the schools, introduce German newspapers, and to see that at American universities German professors are more capable than their English-speaking colleagues, and make their influence felt unmistakably on thought, science, 8 i-i a \ /r* | nmt u E MONEY IN ' I PEOPLE DO GET SICK. 1 | FOR THE DOCTOR ALWAYS, AND COULDN'T EARN ANY U MORE.

If Germans bear this'in mind and help accordingly, the goal will eventually be reached. At the present moment the centre of German intellectual activity is in Germany; in the remote future it will be in America." The German emigrant was trained to feel that in leaving his native shores he was followed by the protecting hand of the fatherland, and we find the kaiser himself saying in a speech as early as June 1 6, 1896*: "The German empire has become a world empire. Everywhere in distant quarters of the earth "thousands of our countrymen are living. German guardians of the sea, German science. German industry, are going across the sea. ... It is my wish that, standing in closest union, you help me to do my duty not only to my countrymen in a narrower sense, but also to the many thousands of countrymen in foreign lands. This means that I may be able to protect them if I must.' Nearly twenty years after the kaiser made this utterance we still find in the mind of the All Highest the conviction that he can do just what he pleases witn America, jusi Defore we threw in our lot with the rest of the world in this fight for democracy, our ambassador in Berlin, Mr. James W. Gerard, had an interview ! with the emperor of significant import. In his book "My Four Years in Germany," he thus describes the incident: "The emperor was standing; so naturally I stood also; and according i to his habit, which is quite Rooseveltian, he stood very close tp. me, and talked very earnestly ... He showed, however, great bitterness against the United States and repeatedly said, 'America had better look out after this, war,' and, T shall stand no nonsense from America after the war.' ... I was so fearful in reporting the dangerous part of this interview, on account of the many spies not only in my own embassy, but also in the State department, that I sent but a very few words in a roundabout way by courier direct to the president." We were not only to be conqueror, but also to be turned out of our home. The fate in store for those who did not respond gracefully to Germanization is told in Kfaus Wagner's "Krieg," published in 1906: "By the right .of war the right of strange races to migrant into Germanic settlements will be taken aw*ay. By right of war into non-Germanic population in America and: Great Australia, must be settled in 'Africa."?The Literary Digest. \ "If self praise is half slander," some people could get up a strong case against themselves for libel.
