"German Efficiency."
Occasionally we still hear reference
to the much wafted "German efficien
cy." These references, come mostly
fiuiu ?Ui*fifaijflaiUiem-<>German sym
pathizers or from
throw a fit whenever "this dreadful
war" is mentioned. People of intelli
gence have long ago learned to esti
mate this efficiency* at its true value,
and have ceased to stand in awe of it.
The efficiency of Germany Is pure
ly an efficiency of constant applica-1
tion. Her present militant condition
Is the> result of a lifetime of unremit
ting attention to every conceivable an
gle of the game of war. While the
other nations of the earth were quiet
ly jnirsuing the paths of peace, Ger
many was straining every nerve and
devoting all her accumulations of men
and means to the task of creating an
arm:* and armament before which the
world would find It impossible- to
stand. During nlost of this time she
was hypocritically participating in the
Hague conferences and proposing the
total disarmament of all nations, but
in the light of recent developments
we know that during all this discus
sion her war preparations were never
slackened.
Even Germany's efficiency in the
arts and sciences has been made to
serve the dread Moloch of War. In ex
tending her influence among the na
tions of the earth in these branches,
she has been for years building "spher
es of influence"?in other words, nests
of spies and potential traitors against
the day when their services should be
needed by the fatherland.
Yes. Germany has efficiency?;
Efficiency in cold-blooded assassina
tion, evidenced by the brutal destruc
tion of vessels by her sea vipers, when
even women and children attempting
to escape in open boats have been shel
led. mangled and sunk; evidenced by
l:cr wanton destruction of civilian life
t.y her airplanes and Zeppelins; evi
ilc.'.red by the deliberate murder of
pn-':~.ers of war who, by all the laws
of r.ailons, chould have received hon
orable and humane treatment.
Efficiency in perfidy, as witnessed In
her mp- of Belgium, for no other rea
son than that she stood betwean r. bru
tal tyrant and his intended victim; evi
denced by her attempt to array other
nations against our own country,_ at
the same time her repre3entatlves_io
our capital was shedding crocodile
tears over . his forced departure and
separation from his "dear friends in
America"?doubtless he took with him
for the perusal of his butcher master
full proofs of his treachery while en
joying our hospitality and esteem.
The Germany of other days was no
ted for efficiency, but that efficiency
has been prostituted to most ignoble
ends.
God save us from such efficiency.

Invasion.
The last excuse of the pacifist has
been brushed aside. The United Sta
te.! has been invaded?invaded by Ger
many.
If there yet remains a e ingle Amer
ican citizen who is not willing to
throw his all upon the altar of his
country, that man should be banished
from the land he dishonors and dis-.
graces.
Many people are asking the ques
tion, "How can German submarines op
erate so far from a base?" And they
can find no answer to their question
unless It be that the base may not be
so far away as we suppose. Hun in
fluence is almost supreme in a certain
country on this continent, the people
of which bear us no love, and a sub
marine base in that land would be no
surprise.
The sooner we awake to the fact that
freedom's enemies are in the saddle
and riding hard, the sooner will we
take steps to bring those riders to a
disastrous fall.
While the Hun Is looming large in
our view, let us not forget that there
Ik, anil has been, treachery- much near
er home.
If you want results, get the marines
after the submarines.
