"wBr I AN ANGEL OF MERCY WHO BATTLES WITH PAIN AND DISEASE TO CHEAT GRIM DEATH OF ITS VICTIMS "Nothing can be greater than the true American spirit of helping those who suffer," says this brave little Red Cross worker and true humanitarian. To those who have never known the gratitude of one who has been torn from the Jaws of death, or bad pains ended by the tender ministration of another, it is difficult to understand the deep devotion of a Red Cross nurse to her work. It la the heartfelt gratitude of those who help that fur nishes the Inspiration of these noble women and sustains them in their arduous labprs; the joy that they have softened the sufferings of a fellow being. A striking example of this type of self sacrificing woman is Miss Emily Pet way, whose home is at 13 South Eighth Street, Wilmington, N. C, an active Red Cross worker, and the em bodiment of the true Red Cross spirit in her every act And thought, Mies Petway has nerself undergone the palna of sickness and ill health and was relieved by Peplax .the wonder ful restorative and systematic tonic which is now doing more to upbuild the general health of the people of this" State than all other remedies combined . Miss Petway was a vlEtim or inaigestion, wnich resulted in the stomach swelling and caused intense pain in the region of the heart. This condition! caused her to lose much sleep an she arose In the morning completely worn out, and with no energy for her work. She heard of the great work Peplax Is doing in reliev ing just such cases as hers; decided to give it a trial, and this is what she says: "I started on Peplax and have fin ished my third bottle and can truth fully say that it Is a most powerful medicine. It has done me more good than all the other medlclneii I ever taken. I do not suffer any more with indigestion and have no pains around my heart. The swelling has entirely disappeared; I sleep Just fine I and my appetite could be no better. "I recommend Peplax because 1 honestly feel that If it could do so much for me. it would do the same for others, " .

(Copyright, l9ig, by The McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Prophesying Is a rash undertAk Inr m iei; in inese cataclysmic times it approaches rank presumption Ju'everthelessr-the" dancer of at tempting to penetrate the curtain of tne ruture lies principally. I imagine. In the difficulty of understanding the present. The more accurate nur Knowledge or prevailing eondlt.'ons, at any rate, the easier It becomes to estimate their probable consequences. uur views as to the future may prove unsound, Of course, no matter now correctly we gauge the present, but certain It Is that If we start out with an Inadequate knowledge of the present we shall make a sad mess of it when we attempt to annralse the future. ' To foresee the Germany of tomor row, tnen, we must first understand the Germany of today, and although I may not be able to offer much of value In the way of prophecv, I feel that I ought to be able to describe with aome degree of accuracy the con ditions which prevailed in Germany up to the time -I left early in ms. The twentieth century haa seen such radical changes in world condi tions, views and aspirations, that I am afraid history will prove but a poor guide to the future. In tha put few centuriea, Germany haa experi enced several more or laas aerlous so- evolutions, but it would be dan- ikZ .k i 1" very mucb upon those abortive uprisings. History does furnish us, however, with many illustration, of the long: suffering character of the German people. The dull record of their ' relieved only here and there by a flash of that spirit of in dependence and love of freedom which has ever been the glory and distinguishing trait of the Anglo- We get a irllmn.a r,f .ii. the uprising of the peasants of Ger many in the seventeenth century, when their privations brought on what was known as -'The Peasants War." with pitchforks and scythes, they warred on the military and no bility, and their sense of injustice so augmented the power of their crude weannni ha i atas only after the bloodiest flfrhttng that they were vanquished In the un equal conflict. Very little was accomplished in the way of social progress throughout tha seventeenth century because of the long series of wars which devastated the continent at that period. It was estimated that by 1650 no leas than seventy per cent, of the German peo ple haoVperlshed through the ravages of war, pestilence and famine. The principles of republicanism, brought to the fore by the French revolution, took root in Germany and bore fruit in 1832 in the shane of a rather formidable uprising. No less than J0.000 men- gathered at Ham- bach in the Palatinate to demand emancipation, but Bavarian troops quelled the rebellion and similar up risings in Frankfort. Bremen. Hansel and Haxony were likewise suppressed. Perhaps the most ambitious revolu tion In the annals of Germany was that of. 184t, whsn the spirit of democracy was rife throughout Eu rope. Berlin and Vienna fell to the populace, but the triumph was short lived. 4 General Wrangel subdued the uprising, and ' Prussian troops soon aisposea oi other rebellions through of the demonstration was to secure a constitution for Prussia, but no sooner was the menace of the revo lution allayed than the constitution was withdrawn-r-whlch, of course, was typical of Prussian statecraft. But even this comparatively recent Indication of a spirit of independence in tne uerman people is of little alar. niflcance In connection with a consid eration of present probabilities be cause of the fact that such ideas have not gained ground since. When the war broke out In 1914. the kaiser had behind him a united peqple who gloried in his power and were prepared to follow wherever his ttiiiuiuuuB mignt ieaa. i ao not mean for a moment to Intimate that there were not many in Germany who were and are as keen for democracy as any inaiviauais in tns world, but I am talking now of the people as a whole royalty, nobility, aristocracy, Junk ers, middle-classes, workers and farmers-ninety-eight per cent, of the population . of the country revered their kaiser and were proud to re gard themselves as "his" people. I shajl never forget the scene In Berlin whan it was announced in the papers that Austria had handed her ultimatum to Servia. That evening I walked up Untof der Linden and saw thousands of young men from eighteen to thirty marching along with their hats off clamoring for war. I Mounted police were on hand but made no efforts to disperse the gath erlng, although no such demonstra. tlon is ever allowed In Germany un less it is in keeping with the doIIcv or tne government to permit it. e I turned to a gray-haired porter Branding in iront or a building and asked him what It all meant. "They want war!" he answered. "There's 10.000 of them end they're on their way to the Russian embassy. Poor fools! I've been through two wars against Austria in ' and against France In '70 and I know what it means. These young men will learn, too, to their sorrow, be when the -hand of Germany was ex tended to the world downward as a sign of friendship.) but now it is stretched out upward to grab all It can get!" This old porter was wise enough to realize the dangers which those high er up ignored. On every hand there was evidence of elation among the people at the eariy prospect or going to war, and their enthusiasm continued long after Hostilities pegan. The Germans had been told by the iiHWBjfltjBia iimi me war upon wnicn they were embarking was forced upon them and that the rest of the world had jumped upon Germany's neck and was seeking to disrriember the empire because it was jealous of uerman commercial supremacy. They were likewise promised that the out come of ' the war would securev the "freedom of the seas" and give Ger many an opportunity to meet Eng land in the markets of the world on an equal commercial basis. To what extent the people believed the official explanation of the pur pose of the war, I am not in a posi tion to say. Many undoubtedly ac cepted it at its face value and gloried f the Hoheniollerns would have been secure for many generations to come. Victory would have so reinforced the foundations of the empire that it would have been nroof aa-alnat nolltl. cal agitators, I believe, for hundreds or years. Democracy would be crush ed the world over and all that has been accomplished In the Cast 2.000 years wouia go ior naugnt. But the German plan did not sue ceed. It went wrong right from the start. Belgium proved an unexpected obstacle, the English came in, Paris refused to fall; the Frenclwheld their own, the Russian hordes proved a real menace, and after the great,, lumber ing German machine had traveled a certain distance on Its original lm petus it was very awkward for the government, because It was all so dif ferent from whatnhe people had been promised, and it wouldn't do to shake their confidence. " To keep the facts from the public. th,e press was put under rigorous supervision, and none of the, reverses which the Germans encountered, none of the political mistakes which they were constantly making, none of the unforeseen difficulties which were de veloping, was ever .published until in tne prospect or Germany's trt- the neonla had been a-raduallv an1 umph.

One of the affects fare li'a over. There M a tJLsSe eign trade was with Anglo-Saxon ca tlona, must have been at a loss to. un derstand what was meant by the freedom of the seas " which Germany was so anxious to secure. - But whether they saw through their government's pretenses or not, practically every German in the coun ,try went into the war with a will, de termined to . uphold German might and establish the national principle of "Deutschland uber allea!" It Was confidently expected by 'all that the war would be over within ninety days at the outside, and there can be no doubt that if the German program had been carried out to a successful conclusion the posit 1 of Corning some' of the misfortunes was In this way, the second year of the war rouno tne uerman -people witn their faith in their leader, compare. tively unshaken. Disaster, had been so skillfully concealed or minimised and victories had been so widely cir culated and magnified that the peo ple were, if possible, more solidly be hind the. war and keener for its 'vig orous prosecution In It It than they were when it started two. years be fore. ,, ..j.- ;!,.. ,-.-,; On May day, ltll, . tha Socialist Liebknecht address a crowd In ths Potsdamer Plats and . his diatribes against the kaiser were ae distasteful even to his own supporter, that they unanimously turned against him when he was arrested. The criticism was made that aa he was a member ef the relchstag It was undignified for him to speak openly, 'against the .govern ment from a barrel on the publla square, and many socialists with whom. I afterwards talked, said his arrest .erred him right. Then Scheidman became the most Conspicuous socialist in the publlo eye. but he has developed Into a most conservative advocate, of soolalistlo principles, and, indeed, the whole party has been torn to pieces by dis sensions and Internal differences. The socialists were -nevef lesa of a nrnh. lem to the government than during m. eariy years or tne war. When, however, the food shortage V "csaii tv ki-uw lo aarioua nronortiAtia and the people were put on such meager ration, that the toann of hnn. ger and the ravages of disease be came a constant reminder of the war and its consequences, a spirit of un rest became . noticeable.
