SATURDAY, OCT. 13, PJ17 GERMANY AND UELCUUM The Record has observed quently that if Germany had lighting a defensive war, as militarists in Berlin claim, fre been the that country would have respected the neutrality of Belgium, plugged up the gap between Franco and pro ceeded to trash Russia an easy task for a country that had been 40 yeaia in preparation. The Record has received a copy of "Out of Their Ov,n Mouths." published by the Ap pletons, in which the German atti tude is given by Germans themselves The highest German authority that ever lived was Prince Bismarck, im perial chancellor of that nation un til comparatively recent years, whei. he was thrown overboard by tht present German emperor because he was not a jingo. The volume quote Bismarck freely. Bismarck in a speech on September 21, 18G7, said: "In exchange for this right of main taining a garrison in Luxemburg, in exchange for the fortress which, ac- coruing to the conviction of our mili tary authorities, olFered us but slight strategic advantage, we have receiv ed compensation in the neutralization of the territory under a European guaranty. That this guaranty will bo upheld, if occasion arises, I be lieve in spite of all quibbling; ana this guarantee is for us from a mil itary point of view a complete com. pensation for the surrender of the right of garrison." In tho Franco-Prussian war, which Bismarck brought about and which later was one of the three war3 that ho said made him unhappy, Bis marck answered England prompt ly, that Prussia would respect Bel. gian neutrality. France did like wise, and although nearly crushea, France fought fairly. Of tho violation of Belgium by the German. in 1011, Chancellor von Bethmann-irollweg said in the reich stag on August 4, 1911 "The wrong I speak openly tho wrong we thereby commit we will try to make good as soon as our military aims have been attained. In a defensive war, Germany's mil itary aims would have been attainec hotter by re-pledging the neutrality ot Lelgium, for France could n,ot have injured Germany without striK ir,g her in the back as Germany struck r ranee through poor, little Belgium. Much has been said, how ever, of Belgium's siding with Eng land and France, but the Norddcut- sche Allgcmeine Zeitung wrote on August 27, 1015, one year after Ger. many had committed this bruta. crime: "On the part of Germany no af- tompo h.s ever been made to justify tho German invasion of Belgium through subsequent allegations of guilty conduct on the part of the Belgian government." Those alleged incriminating doc uments claimed to have been found in tho archives at Brussels are here repudiated. Many sincere Germans within the empire are heartily as hamed and deeply humiliated at their country's treatment of Belgium, and the point is frequently made that Germany would be willing to vacate that country, although the autocratic government has not indicated such intention. any Car shortage in the United States may bo responsible for coal famine " ic is, the railroads should be ...uu.j ty purcnase more cars.

All the evidence in me world could not change fellows Swedes, for example some Hickory will do the right thin by the Liberty Loan, but the time to act is right now. A ROVE MORAL LAW There is not a German leader past or present who would have coun tenanced war, even for defense, had he realized that it would have been prolonged for more than a few months. The Prussian idea was to overwhelm all enemies in a few weeks or months, take what territory was needed and collect indemnities at leisuremeanwhile the occupied country feeding the army. Von Bethmann-llollweg, formd German chancellor, did not anticipate n Ion-' struggle. Every Prussian leader has studied history, particu. larly the history of his own country, with special reference to Frederick the Great. While the most success ful of all exploiters said that a nation should not be honest unless it could gain something tangible by it. he also believed in being discree, and Bismarck, the iron chancellor, always had his mind open for what lu termed "imponderable's." Make it appear that the other fellow was the aggressor, and the victory will be easier to win, he declared. Well, the German emperor in the present war did not regard the de cent opinion of the world. A divint lighter, he and his advisers believed that Germany could win by the sword and all nations that didn't like it could be given a dressing down. Em peror William, who dismissed Bis marck, lacked astute leaders, and he sent his war machine crashing against fate. In a defensive war not of Germany'3 making, tha country would hav, earned the sympathy of the world. Instead, it has some 20 odd nations doing all they can or praying that the Prussian machine will be trounc ed. Wiorld sympathy was lost tht minute Belgium was violated and the imponderables have all favored the other side. Germany cannot twin the war un der any conditions, however a peac. convention might favor it. The world is lost to Germany. BUY IT NOW Springfield Republican. The United, States government de sires to borrow money of you, Mr. Citizen; it will pay 4 per cent in terest and you are sure to get your money back. The government needs this money; it must have $3,000,000, 00 at least by the 27th of this montn. Anyone almost would loan money to his father, his mother or his brother if appealed to for assistance, and he would loan it even if the prospect of repayment was poo. When a man's country urgently calls upon him for a loan the response should be no less prompt and cordial, if government means in the least de gree the protection and preserva tion of the very foundations of hu. man society, that is to say, of one's bsiness, one's property, one's family, anl one's home. None of these es sential things can exist in safetj without government. To buy a Liberty bond means al so placing one's weight back of the American soldiers in France. Wheth. er 100,000 or 200000 men are no tnere does not matter. The nunv 1 1! Der is already in excess of 100,000 63 and it is increasing everv week. Th. American army in France must De sunnnrtpd.

The bonds may be bought out right or by partial payment. One may buy a $1,000 bond or a $50 bond; the government most gladly receices ; tho small subscriptions. Without! the small subscriber the sale would fail. It was the man or woman' taking the bonds in small denomina-i tions who made the first Liberty ! bond issue so tremendously success-' ful. There were several million of, such people in June and there must he several millions of them in Oc-,' tober. j Don't let the week go by without sending in your subscription. The inclination to wait until the last lew, days of the sale is universal, but "buy it now" is the rule to follow.
