NO ONE WILL BE DECEIVED. In reference 10 the long adver-1 lised German peace propoganda j now beginning to unfold before us, : we hope no one will be deceived thereby, for to yield now would be disastrous in the extreme and to I throw away what is about to be ; gained by the sacrifice of so much blood and treasure. What the al-, lied world is up against should be studied carefully and fully under stood. To this end let us clarify our vision by a steady contempla tion of the facts; refresh our minds with a careful consideration of the truth and strengthen our purpose by a renewed study of the innum erable and unimpeachable authori ties upon whose assurances our convictions are founded. The Prussian political philosophy de veloping slowly through the cen turies, nearly two hundred years ago, reached iis final finished form in the mind of Frederick the (ircat the vilest, because the ablest, scion of the house of Hohenzol lern. Since then, it has been car ried out with varying ability but with unswerving consistency by his royal descendants and their ad visers and not one jot or one tittle has been added thereto or taken therefrom. It stands today as set forth in Frederick's memoirs and has been slavishly followed by the Imperial German Government in its conduct of the war now being waged against our allies and our selves. The cardinal principles of Frederick's philosophy are three: First, an involuted egotism, a sclf centered, ingrowing cahuvanism, unparalleled in the history of hu manity; second, a dark and deep dishonor without limit and without qualification; third, a cold, calcula ting cruelly, bestial beyond belief. With these three, Frederick thought to conquer the world, and with them William has striven, and sinves still, to conquer it. Fred erick gave birth to the belief thai the Germans were super-men, and William has nourished that belief. Frederick maintained that treaties were made but to be broken, and William has broken them. Fred erick advised that one's enemies be terrorized, and William has fol lowed his advice by ordering that conquered cities be wamingly de stroyed; that children be maimed and men be mutilated; that women be ravished and done to death by such bestiality as makes the minds of men to wriihe in horror at the very thought. These things Wil liam has done, not through stupid brutishness but in the carrying out of a carefully calculated policy, the principal purpose of which is the establishment of a Teutonic hege mony over all the earth. And now that he finds that terrorism about to fail, he will presently turn again to deception. Despue their hellish villianies his armies are slowly be ing beaien back; despite their life long devotion to the blackest arts of war, his generals are being out generaled by the genius of Foch; and so, while there is yet time, ere his cohorts of hell are conquered. he will try again false promises ind fair-seeming proposals of peace and every wile which his mind and the minds of his ministers can conceive. He may offer to restore and indemnify Belgium; 10 give back to France Alsace-Lorraine; lo return to Italy the Irredenta; to do anything, so thai he be left wiih his empire inviolate and his Fastern conquests in his hands to do his will of ihem. He may even en courage the idea that a line of de markation exists between the mili tary masters of Germany and the German people, striving to make us torget that ihe present German generation is but the spawn of these master minds begotten and conceived, born and bred but to do their will. But whatever William and his ministers may say we must hold last 10 the knowledge which we hav; so dearly gained that the luetomc people ot today are i generation of vipers, liars by birth anu oy oreeuing ana mat mere is no truth in them. This then is our double struggle ours and our allies to defend our minds against fraud and falsehood while we de fend our homes and our bodies against fire and sword. If the world is to have aught of dignity or safety or peace for a thousand years the Prussian political philos ophy and its outward and visible manifestation, the Imperial Ger man Government must be ground into dust and swept from the face of the earth. And though the struggle should go on for years and though poverty and anguish should be our portion, and though ten million of our ior. should Uu their blood to this great end, yet would the sacrifice be fully justified, that generations yet unborn may come and go upon the earth free and unafraid. We, of this genera lion, stand in the vanguard of the armies of God we are His shock troops and we must not) fail. JPVE YC'J EEEH SICK?

FROM "OVER THERE." An Interesting Letter From Lieut. J. E Johnston, Stationed Near Cantigney, Prance. June 17, ISMS. Four officers from this regiment left for the States about a week an", the next four haven't been I'huseii yei. They may stop liat now iii.it there are so mai.y com ing over. Gee! Before long we will have a real army in the field and I say "God speed the day." Germany had belter do her worst or best right now, for by the end of summer the Allies will be more than well fixed and next spring well all I've got to say is she had better look out. It won't be Ger many who'll do the pushing then and there'll be a good deal of push ing done. You ought lo see how our soldiers linlii I mean our In fantry. They ate uondet'l'iil, and my! What hardships they have lo endure at mites I don'i mean thai the Artillerymen are not good lighters, too, nor that they don't have their hard nines, for they do, but they are back in what seems a safe place at any rate. They have to shoot day and night, of course, and be ready to put down a barrag any time ihe Infantry call for it, and they've to undergo the shell ing by the enemy, of course, hut they have their sale dug outs and they don't have to live in the trenches. The spirit among all the soldiers is unbeatable, and none of them mind going through any thing to get a job done. When you know all ihat and also know that there are thousands of others just like them coming over, there can be not the slightest doubt that German militarism is doomed. And the Frenchl I don't mind saying it at all they are the best lightest in Europe from the private on up to Foch. The longer you live among ihem, the more you know them and see and realize whal they've undergone, the more you respect and admire them They are great on strategy, great in their individual lighting, and the best artillerymen on earth. With the French in command, 1 don't get at all scared when a report comes in ihat the Germans have taken some more territory. And all the papers and a majority of the people in the I'nited States have entirely the wrong conception of France's strength today about j her having bled to death and al ihat. Whenever some real iln eat enitig attack conies on, n s gener- ally the French Reserves who smp I ii. U e had the luiiniest thing hup-1 pen in us ihe other dav. or rather it would have been funny if it had n't been so tragic. Late in the morning a plane 'vith British mark ings tie over ihe town we are living in now and quite low. That caused no excitement or comment, as we knew the Bniish were flying in our sector. Well, as everybody was watching him, he dropped something twice, what we sup posed to be messages (nothing un usual about that and it goes on all ihe time.) A second or two later we discovered that ihey were bombs. Then, of course, every thing opened up on him and we were all enraged because uf this new underhand and overhead trick the Boche had pulled. Well nobody could hit him, though every machine gun and anti-aircraft around were popping away and he didn't seem to care for he still flew very low and started us ing his machine gun. He'd go down a road with it wide open chasing a cannon or auto and wherever he saw a group of men he'd toss over a small bomb or two. He killed one 1'renchmen and wounded several Americans and still he kept it up. VCe all be gan 10 admire him very much for we'd never seen a Boche wiih so much nerve and he sure had every body in the whole country under cover. Finally he was forced to land with a fractured shoulder and lo and behold ! he was no German at all, but an American flying in a British plane, who had only been in France three weeks and had gotten his map mixed up, thinking a railroad behind us was one that is in the German lines. It would have been extremely funny but for the tragedy. They say when the poor fellow heard what he had done he broke down and cried like a lijuy. I hope they don't do any thing to him but leach him how to read a map and send him in a plane to Germany, for he surely had his nerve and has I believe great possibilities as an aviator." Things are very quiet here now alter they tried some several un successful attempts to take back the village we look from ihe Boche some lime ago.
