Germany As Seen By An American Music Student, Just Returned (The Observer takes pleasure in reproducing this article which ap- pears in the Leon News, Kansas, and was furnished the Observer by Mrs. Lydia Mulkey, of this city.) "Peace at this time would be a vic tory for the Kaiser. If peace came now it would give Germany time to prepare for another great war for which her War Lords are already plan ning. If there is to be a lasting peace this war must be fought to a euccessf ul conclusion at whatever cost. There will bo no revolution in Ger many until the soldiers revolt and they will not revolt so long as they have enough to keep them alive." Thesfe statements were made by THiss Alta Carter, daughter of Joshua Carter, living near Chelsea, who ar rived home last Thursday morning. Miss Carter went to Germany in Oc tober, 1913, to study music. She took "her degree ir. music at Leipsig Uni versity under Prof. Tcichmuller. Then "ehe studied a year in Berlin under Prof. Schwarwenka. She, left Berlin April 23 going to Copenhagen and then to Christiana from 'which port he sailed on the Christiana Pford for Halifax. "The German militarists would be glad to accept favorable peace terms at this time,'' said Miss Carter. "It -would give them a truce during which they would get ready for a greater war which they openly are planning for. The Kaiser has ordered the peo ple through the press, to take the test care of their male children so that they will be available for the FOR RENT SIGNS For sale at The Observer efflce. next war. A peace at this time would give them much additional territory and they would soon forget. With these acquisitions the Kaiser would be able to justify the war. "The German people have looked to the Kaiser as their God and the police as their guardian angels. But this is gradually changing. The peo ple are becoming very bitter against the Kaiser. There would be a revolu tion at any time but the people fear the German Kaiser. For this reason, there will never be a revolution until the soldiers revolt. And while there is an enormous amount of dissatis faction among the soldiers they are afraid to revolt for fear that the whole army would not stand back of them. When food conditions become intolerable, then and not until then, the soldiers will revolt. And when they do, Germany will experience the greatest revolution in the world's history. "The socialists are very strong in Germany. In fact, they are the strongest party and have threatened time after time but they have been held in check by an iron hand. Their .great leader, Liebknecht is in prison, but their leading official organ, the Vorwarts, while not allowed much freedom is publishing from time to time articles designed to cause an uprising against the Kaiser. They are taking more liberty all the time. They are printing material of such a character for which they would have been imprisoned at the beginning of the war. "I don't nee how the German peo ple can hold out much longer than six months. They are needing food with more nutriment But very little but iter and meat can be obtained. Their bill of faro is: One-half pound of 'sugar every 15 days, one-half pound of meat a week, one-eighth pound of butter every 15 days, one egg a month. I have not known what milk was for over a year, the only tea ia itea made from the Linden tree (it has ;the color of tea but an awful smell) only three pounds of potatoes a week all winter, four pounds of bread a j week (when they gavo two pounds of ! bread they gave flvo pounds of po itatoes) bread made of Kohlrubei .which looks like a turnip. It has a little flour mixed with it. The soldiers get a little more but not much, ' I "In Munich beer cards are given out 'and in Berlin and Leipsig beer was sold only on certain days and at cer . tain hours. If you came late you got none. They often sold out 'before all Had gotten beer. "You also had to be registered in some stores in order to get clothes. You cannot even buy a handkerchief without a "pchine," which is a permit from a magistrate. I have stood in line seven hours for one-fourth pound of butter. You can only buy three handkerchiefs every six months, two pair of stockings every six months, and to get new clothes you have to give up the old ones. It is very hard to get a "shine' The people almost fight for food and other essentials. If you want to get a pair of shoes you have to tell those in charge that you have only one pair and must give them up in order to get a new pair. "Men from 17 to 50 are taken for the army. The Germans have many men yet which they can send to the front. The soldiers must fight. Armed guards are placed behind the lines, and a man attempting to re treat is shot or bayonetted. I have talked with German soldiers and they told me these things. "The Germans used to laugh when there was talk of America going into the war. They asked, "What can America do?" They belive that their submarines will soon bring the war to an end. In fact they believe England will be defeated in six months. The German soldiers are very bitter to ward Americans. "President Wilson pursued the wis est course by writing notes to Ger many. The people have been letting the Kaiser do their thinking for them. But when the notes were pub lished the German people began to think. They began to question wheth er their government was doing right in sinking passenger ships. Many liked President Wilson's speech in severing diplomatic relations with Germany." favor or accomplished more good than Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy. John F. Jantzen, Delraeny, ' Sask., says of it, "I have used Cham- berlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy myself and in my family, and can rec jommend it as being an exceptionally fine preparation." Adv. Coffee Arrives at San Francisco. i l ....... ! San Francisco, July 27. (Special) I One hundred and six thousand bags I of coffee, tho largest single consign ment ever recorded reached the port of San Francisco recently announced Southern Pacific officials. The coffee is valued at $2,000,000 and is said to be destined for the American Army. Tho Southern Pacific is also handl ing 140 carloads of sugar from Ha waii consigned to 'Brooklyn and Phil adelphia, the shipment moving east ward in three special trains. Still an other big shipment recorded by the same Company is that of a special train of twenty carloads of tobacco which left f cr the East recently. Three additional carloads were attached to a special train of silk which crossed the continent on a passenger train schedule. These shipments indicate the gigantic tr.sks that are daily con fronting the railroads. Are You One "of Them? Doing Good. There are a great many people who would be very much benefited by tak ing Chamberiain's Tablets for a weak or disordered stomach. Are you one of them? Mrs. M. R. Searl, Bald winsville, N. Y., relates her experience in tho use of these tablets: "I had a bad spell with my stomach about six months ago, and was troubled for two or three weeks with gas and severe pains in the pit of my stomach. Our druggist advised me to take Chamber lain's Tablets. I took a bottle home and the first dose relieved me wonder fully, and I kept on taking them until I was cured." These tablets do not relieve pain, but after the pain has ; been relieved may prevent its recur rence. Adv.

(United Press) The American dog is going to do his bit m the war. Red Cross ca nines are in big demand on tho west ern front. Wearing gas-masks, they go out between the trenches and lo cate unconscious, wounded men in piles of dead. The Red Cross estab lishment which will care for Ameri can wounded when the National Army starts pounding the kaiser would be incomplete without its quota of dogs. "Plans are under way to have Uncle Sam's bow-wows take their places on the fighting line beside those of France and Great Britain, some of which have actually received decora tions for their work under fire. Sev eral months of training is no:essary before the dogs aTe ready for service. They must be taught to range the shell-swept areas of No-Man a Land, hunting the wounded whom the busy stretcher-bearers could not at first glance . distinguish from the dead. When an unconscious man is located, the dog is trained to carry his "tint- hat" i or shrapnel helmet to the Btretcher-baarersi and then ,to lead them back to where the sufferer is ly ing. - Many Red Cross dogs have been produced1 in England. As trench war fare has rendered them c necessity, a project is under consideration to train the American "Rovers' somewhere in the United States and to send them over with other , Red Cross units.

B LINDSEY, Judge TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: November 17, 1916. I have seen' the moving picture called "The Unborn." After years of experience in the children's court I am in a position to appreciate the value of a production like 'The Unborn," and I think every parent and youth over sixteen years of age should see this picture for the les sons it teaches. . Ignorance and innocence are among the chief 'causes for the downfall of girls. We need education on these important subjects. "The Unborn" does much to bring about this result. It is not only highly entertaining, b ut is also highly instructive. i BEN B. LINDSEY.
