Cwermany'i War Lorda
Flayed in Senate Speech
Washington. Feb. 12.—Germany'"
vnr lord* were scathingly denounced
ind Americans urged to fight for the
'democracy implanted by Lincoln and
idvanced by Wilson" in an address
nmmemorating the birthday anniver
>ary of President Lincoln, delivered
jslay by Senator Lewis of Illinois.
Phe German peace oCers were declar
■d to )>e only a "ruse to murder."
Struggles of the world's democra-i
•ies U> retain their liberty were re
rounted by Senator Lewis quoting the
German poet Goethe that "those who
lave liberty must fight to keep it."
da referred t< President Wilson as
'the apoatle of the liberty of man and
he standard-bearer of th« democracy
if the world." This nation's progress
ind freedom he declared is the world's
nspiration for republican government.
"No democracy was ever founded."
le said, "that did not have to fight to
-ontinue its existence or maintain its i
ideals.
"From the envy of our situation,
From jealousy of our progress, hat
red was aroused in the hearts of oth-,
'America a institutions ui irwuum
nspu ing mankind to her example, in
lameti the souls of the royal rulers of
Prussia with fear and inspired them
to the war of destruction of all thm
America ; tood for and was living for.
This to them was necessary that they
might avoid Ame-ican influence upon
the hearts of the liherty-loving Ger
man people."
It has been charged. Senator Lewi..
<aid, that America "under President
Wilson would continue war to force
governments and people of foreign
lands to take our form of govern
ment." This he denied, amerting the
President "fights for democracy as a
right of the whole world."
"The promise of .'resident Wilson
to make the world safe for democra
cy," he added, "is no threat to make
theworld take democracy. It l* but
the assurance of the effort to give to
the world ita chance to take democra
cy."
When Yoa Have a (Mi.

that you appreciate the good qualities
of rhamlierlain's Cough Remedy.
Mrs. Frank Cocker, Pana, III., writes:
"Our five-year-old son Paul caught a
severe cold last winter that settled on
his lungs and he had terrible coughing
spells. We were greatly worried
alM>ut him as the medicine we gave,
him did not help him In the least.
A neighbor spoke so highlv of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy that I got a
bottle of It. The flrat dose benefited
him «0 much that I continued giving it
to him until he was cured."
