"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

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."

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.

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
