The critics who have been condemning
President Wilson's moves in the
relations with Germany are put to silence
by the recent light on the developments
in Germany's dishonorable,
secret moves in Mexico. And President
Wilson had all these facts before
him when he severed diplomatic relations
with Germany. Each day, each
hour brings us closer to war with Germany.
It is highly improbable that
we will continue in the present situation.
So, Germany's dream of world
conquest was not a mere creation of
some sick imagination. It appears to
be a real purpose. Every man and
every nation into whose heart this j
great ambition has entered have gone
to destruction. So will it be with Ger-I
many. Her doom is sealed, and her
punishment is certain.
It now appears that Germany's pretpflfW
t'rionHcKln fr\r* iVio +
States and other neutrals has been
but a play of time.
The collection being carried forward
here for the relief of the Belgian babies
is reaching a splendid figure. Two
young wome becoming enthusiastic
over the matter, began to silicit contributions.
The school children and
grown people as well have responded,
and everywhere the collectors have
met with a willing response.
It is a most worthy cause, to be sure.
One cannot but feel a deep pity for
the thousands of helpless babies and
children who are actually upon the
verge of starvation. Unless help Is
rendered many thousands of them will
die from hunger. And, to think! one
dollar will suffice to keep one child
alive for a month! It is true that
we ourselves may be confronted with
the hardships and distresses of war
any day. It is true that we have some
considerable suffering in our own
land. But there is nothing like the
condition of the Belgian children in
all the world, nor, so far as we know,
has there ever been woe so tremendous
and so absolute. It is a good thing,
a very good thing that we are donig
when we undertake to help. It will do
us good and it will help relieve a fearfuly
situation.
All over the stricken land of Belgium
there are poor little blue-lipped,
hungry babies! Babies! little children,
helpless and unable to do more than
wail and cry! God! it is pitiable. Ijet
there come from thy high throne a
command to the mad peoples of the
earth to stop! Stay the ruthless hand
of war that, not content with killing
and maiming men and young men now
reaches forth to strangle the babies!
Some day, after this fearful thing is
over the whole world will shudder at
the bare, bold, ghastly thing of hell
and will wonder how it could have
been. And deep down at the foundation
of things we believe it will ulti
mately he found that (rreed and lust
pave birth to this iniquitous monster!
But while it is on ,1ft us reach forth
to help! Let everybody (rive something
and (rive it now!
NEW FARM DEMONSTRATION
AGENT FOR UNION COUNTY
A. B. Carwile has been appointed
farm demonstration aprent for Union
county, succeeding F. W. Carnell, resigned,
and will assume the duties of
the position about March 1.
Mr. Carnell has been demonstration
a^ent for the past ei(rht years, an I
has been untiring in his efforts to
carry on this important work. He felt
that his time must he given to his
farming interests an<l resigned that
he might do this. Me desires to express
his thanks to the farmers, business
men, the press, the Union Chamber
of Commerce and all others who
rendered aid in the good work he was
trying to do. Although laying aside
the work officially, he will gladly cooperate
with the new agent and will,
whenever it is possible, render any
service to the farmers of the county
he can find time to do.
[SHOE
GERMAN SCHEME REVEALED
AGAINST UNITED STATES
(Continued from page one)
through Mexico, over the border and
into the Mississippi valley to split
the country in two. It recalls that
Count von BernstorfT when handed his
passports was very reluctant to return
to Germany but expressed a preference
for asylum in Cuba. It gives a
new explanation to the repeated arrests
on the border of men charged
by American military authorites with
being German intelligence agents.
Last of all, it seems to show a connection
with Gen. Carranza's recent
proposal to neutrals that exports of
food and munitions to the entente allies
be cut off, and an intimation that
he might stop the supply of oil, so
vital to the British navy, which is
exported from the Tampico fields.
What congress will do and how
members of congress who openly have
sympathized with Germany in their
opposition to clothing the president
with full authority to protest American
rights will regard the revelations
of Germany's machinations to attack
the United States is to th esubject tonight
of keenest interest.
Almost Act of War.
Such a proposal as Germany instructed
her minister to make to Mexico
borders on an act of war, if actually
it is not one.
No doubt exists here now that the
persistent reports during the last two
years of the operations of German
agents not alone in Mexico but all
through Central America and the
West Indies are based on facts. There
is now no doubt whatever that the
proposed alliance with Mexico was
known to high Mexican officials who
are distinguished for their anti-Americanism.
1 Among them are Rafael Zubaran,
Carranza's minister to Germany, and I
Luis Cabrera, Carranza's minister of
finance.
It is apparent that the proposal had
taken definite form when Zubaran re
turned to Mexico City from Berlin recently.
His return from his foreign
post was covered by the fact that
Carranza had called in many of his
diplomats for "conferences." Some
time before tbat Carranza, while still
at Atlantic City in the conference of
the American-Mexican joint commission,
had suggested in a guarded way
to a member of the American section
that he regretted that the commission
had not succeeded fully in settling the
difficulties between Mexico and the
United States, for he said, he had
hoped it might continue its work and
make peace for the world.
When pressed for some details of
how the commission cc uld restore
world peace, Cabrera suggested that
the American republics controlled the
destiny of the war by controlling a
lare-e nart. of its annnliao Wovion
intimated, mipht do her part by cutting
off exports of oil. The American
commissioners dismissed his ideas
as visionary.

HEM* THE STARVING BELGIANS.
Dear Children:
Let me tell you a true story. You
have all heard of the Belgians, haven't
you? Well, listen what a man named
Mr. Hoover saw over there the other
day. He saw a long line of children,
each little girl and boy was holding a
bread ticket and a little bowl. They
all looked happy because they were
going to got something to eat; they
had not had any breakfast that morning
or any supper the night before,
so you know how hungry they were.
As he stood watching, a woman
stepped up and pulled one of the children
out of the line, then other women
came up and pulled other children out
and still others. As they were pulled
from the linb the children began to
scream and cry, because they knew
that this meant nothing to eat, and
they were so hungry. But Mr. Hoover
did not know what it meant and when
he asked, one of the said, "These children
are strong enough to do without,
they won't have anything to eat today
and maybe tomorrow and maybe
next day, until they begin to look thin
and starved." She said, "We haven't
enough to feed all the children. If
the children in America would send us
the money we would not have to pull
any of the children out of the line!"
One dollar will keep a child from
starving a whole month. Who wants
to help feed these hungry little children,
and how much can you bring
your teacher tomorrow?
Contributions to this fund will be
received by Prof. E. A. Fuller at the
Union High school and he will see that
it reaches the proper ones to make
distribution. (Not only the children,
but grown people as well, should heed
tnis appeal and Bend in relief for this
worthy cause.?Editor).
