Napoleon's retreat from Moscow
was not any more disastrous than
the retreat of Wilhelm the Last to
wards the ' Rhine and the Father
land. If God Almighty divinely appoint
ed Wilhelm the damned to rule over

judgment for a divinely ( ? ) appoint
ed ruler to deliberately insult and
add insult to injury after repeated
warnings to add the Great Republic
to his many enemies. It was an ac
tion worse than folly it was a
frightful mistake and the culminat
ing cause of his doom and utter ruin.

LOGAN
With our minds on the mighty
history-making struggle that is go
ing on in the world, it is hard to keep
in touch with local happenings, ex
cept those that are related to the
big news.
C. A. Kirchem writes that he is
kept busy since his return to Kelly
Field training camp.
Fred Minder has enlisted in the
medical . corps and has gone into
training at the Washington camp.
He made a flying trip home and re
mained over Sunday.
Albert Gerber and Floyd Kirchem
are impatient at the delay in being
called to prepare for service.
Erma Babler has gone to Califor
nia as the bride of Ray Forsche, one
of Uncle Sam's soldiers to-be, who
is in training there. Her sister,
Elma, is also there and both are tele
graph operators.
Fred Gerber is building a well
house and tower for N. L. Kirchem.
Henry Thun has a separator now
and is prepared for threshing.
Henry Babler has a new threshing
outfit and it seems that the Logan
country should not be delayed in
threshing as there are five threshers
here.
Most of the" fall wheat is cut and
some was caught in the rain but was
not damaged.
Some oats are being cut and seem
to be a short crop, in straw at least.
Earl Gerber has bought a phono
graph and can have canned music
whenever the occasion calls for it.
M. H. Reibhoff has bought Thomas
E. Anderson's house and ten acres of
land and will make his home there.
Henry Kohl's thoroughbred male
hog got sick and died, which was a
very unpatriotic thing for him to do.
The grading on the Carver railroad
is progressing suely but slowly on
account of labor shortage.
Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Steinman were
Logan visitors from Eagle Creek recently.
L. Kohl had a barn-raising on the
21st,
Mr. Feathers, is keeping Youngs'
truck busy hauling cattle, sheep, hogs
and other produce and feed.
Events over in France are justify
ing the old saying that "Thrice is ho
armed that hath his quarrel just."
Men will fight harder and longer for
justice, right and liberty than for
the ancient inspiration of conquest.
That it is a struggle of autocracy
attempting to crush democracy is
proven by their first and fiercest at
tack on the greatest republic of Eu
rope that had achieved its freedom
through a bloody revolution. Bel
gium was crushed because it refus
ed to clear the way for the murder
ous attack. They had a contempt
for democratic governments, believ
ing them weak and not adapted for
war. But they finally awoke the
sleeping giant of the West that has
grappled with the beast before, that
has the greatest and best of all pre
paredness, a determination to do and
die for its ideals, and the greatest
resources of any nation on earth. " If
might is the only logic they will ac
cept, they shall have that in full
measure.
