America's young man hood can be relied upon for courage and patriotism. Can we !say as much for the fellow who 'stays at home? WHY IT SUCCEEDS Because It's Tor One Thing Only, and Scotland Neck People Appreciate This Why did we enter the great European war? "Why was it our affair? These are the questions that are forever being put for ward by people who want to hedge about supporting our gov ernment, and the question is here answered from extracts issued by the committee on public infor mation, and the most direct way to answer the question is here contained in a very few words. "We are in the war because we had to go in unless we were entirely blind to our own honor and safety, and to the future happiness of the whole world." What finally forced us into the war was the unlimited submarine warfare by Germany, when she created zones within which we dared not travel, and she dared us to travel those zones because she believed we were afraid of her. Before this, many of our ships had been sunk by German sub marines and hundreds of Ameri can lives had been lost on these and other ships. This was con trary to all humanity and all law. Everv such act of Germany was an act of war against us. If we had not fought Germany after her false and brutal conduct we would have been despised by all the world, as we were then de spised by all Germans. Months before the war we learned of German's intrigue" and treachery against us within our own country, while she was professing friendship. Of such cases twentv one were listed by our committee on foreign affairs at the time when we declared war. Among these acts was the placing of, bombs on ships sailing from American ports; producing strikes and blowing up factories in the United States; plotting in this neutral country to blow up bridges, tunnels and factories in Canada ; and stirring up Anti American feeling and generally promoting disorder in the unhap py country of Mexico. The net of German intrigue has encom passed the world. She tried to induce Mexico and Japan to make war on us. She kindly gave Mexico permission to annex Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Nearly fiftv years ago the Ger man stateman, Bismark stated the following was proper treat ment for people in an enemy country: ''We shall shoot, hang and burn. After that has hap- Some one may think that it was none of her business to fight the Germans in Europe, and that we should have stayed at home. We fear there are some such who think, "Here we are away off across the Atlantic, in no danger from Germany. She will never dare attack us. she may turn the old world upside down, but she will let the new world alone." To these pacifists let us answer : We must fight Germany in Europe that we may not have to fight her in America. For is is recited by the recent American ambassador to Germany Gerard, that the Kaiser was bru- tally frank upon the matter of j gj America. "He stood very close , if to me and talked verv earnestly' said Mr. Gerard, "He Nothing ca nbe good for everything. Doing one thing well brings success. Doan 's Kidney Pills are for one thing only.

Therefore we repeat again we must fight Germany in Europe, with help, that we may not have to fight her in America, without help. The general plan of campaign against America has been announ ced repeatedly by German mili tary men. And everv horrible de-! tail, is just what the German j tro(ops have done in Belgium and France. The same thing would happen at Plymouth, or Glouster in the advance on Boston; might happen at Michigan City, Indiana in the advance on Chicago; at Council Bluffs on the way to Omaha. It is however Iiard for an American to realize the dang ed. If it has never happened be fore there has never before been such a meance as the German empire of our day. The question that presents it self as an answer to the danger. Can Ave crush it? Yes, if we work and fight, all of us, soldiers and civilians, with heart and soul and both hands. The German nation is not great er than the rest of the world; though iiist now it thinks it is f During the first part of the war they were superior in a military way, because the whole nation for fifty years and more had been organized hrst and foremost for! war. Other nations did nat want ' i war and was organized for peace. !E3 But does any red-blooded Ameri can doubt that if ever since the rebellion we had thought and dreamed and worked for war, war, war, our armies would be better than the German.
