about this waY ought to be known,
and intends to do its part in making
it Known. What will appear in this
' series is not hearsay nor idle talk.
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.

* story and ought to be read by evgev

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

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-' ,

art and literature. 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.
