WHY WE ARE
AT WAR WITH
GERMANY

i
DEMOCRACY VERSOS AUTOCRACY
It Is commonly said that this war
Is one In which America was forml
to take part in order to "make the
world safe for democracy." What
does the phrase mean?
The theories and acts of the Ger
man military autocracy definitely deny
(he right of the people of a state to
rule themselves. Tho German people.
in spite of forms of government that
make a pretense of popular control,
have no such actual control over their
governors as exists In democratically
organized nations. In those nations
the governors can be removed by a
vote of tho people in a general elec
tlon; In Germany the people have not
this power.
The aristocracy of Germany under
stand this difference, and are afraid
of the spread of democracy In Ger
many. The whole, much-admired "effi
ciency" of Germany Is primarily due
to a desperate and constant effort by
Germany's rulers to divert the German
people from thoughts of self-govern
ment, by offering them material pros
perity. And- the rulers havo sue
ceeded. Ono of the causes of this
war was tho necessity, by still fur
ther "glorious acquisitions of terri
tory," to hush the murmurlngs of
political discontent In Germany. Vic
tor in war, ever' so often, Is a nec
essity of the German system. "It Is
for social as much as for national
and political reasons that wo must
fix our minds Incessantly upon war."
"Success is necessary to gain Influ
ence over the masses," wrote Bern
hard!; and General Von BIssing, Just
before his death, wrote a "Political
Testament," since largely circulated In
Germany, In which ho argued for the
retention of Belgium, because, unless
it were annexed, the prestige of the
military autocracy would receive a
fatal blow.
Are we are the Allies then fight
ing to impose upon Germany a dlf
ferent system; is that tho meaning of
"making the world safe for democ
racy?" Ellhu Root says that American
democratic Ideals Include "liberty not
for themselves alone but for all who
are oppressed." Lloyd George asserts
that if all countries had been demo
cratically organized, this war would
not have taken place; that this war
will determine not merely Interna
tional relations, but will affect the
lives of peoples within their own na
tions, for generations to come; that,
this war is to end in "International
democracy," i. e., la liberty, equal
ity, and fraternity, between nations,'
great and small. General Smuts, for-,
merly a soldier against Great Britain.
in South Africa, says that the essence,
of this war is the question whether
governments should be founded on
military might or on "principles of
equity. Justice, fairness and equality.",
Various writers have depicted this,
'war as a test of democracy, to de
termine whether democracy can ad
(Just itself to an 'emergency' so that by
'sheer efficiency It shall at least equal
(the efficiency of a military autocracy,
'and assert that on this ground alone

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local application, as Iher cannot reach
the diseased portion ot tho ear. There It
only one way to cure catarrhal deafnets,
ana that is by a conatltutlonal remedy
Catarrhal Denfntss la earned by nn In
Cnmed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. Whet, this tube It
Inflamed you havo a rumbllnt tound or m
p. rftct heartne. and when It It entirely
riowd. Deafness Is tho result. Unless the
Inflammation can bo reduced and this tuba
restored to Its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness nro caused by catarrh, which Is
an Inllamcd condition ot the mucous sur
faces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine nets' thru
the blood on tho mucous surfaces of tho
system.
We will clve One Hundred Dollars for
any caee ot Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Cir

Crooks, the British labor leader, says
this war "Is a people's war. We are all
In It, the man At the village pump and
In the fields, tho blacksmith, tho car
penter and Joiner, the. shipwright, nnd
the man of leisure. We arc standing
together because we arc fiyhtiny for
liberty."
Yes, this war Is one In which Ideals
of government, of Individual liberty,
of civilization Itself nro In conflict.
Democracy is lined up against autoc
racy. The war Is In absolute fact a
war of Ideals. But we are not light
ing to impose our Ideals upon any
nation. "What we are fighting for,
in "inaklnjrfhc world safe for democ
racy," Is to prevent a military autoc
racy from imposing its authority anil
its ideals upon us. We are ready to
keep, on minding our own- business,
and to let other nations do the same.
A military autocracy that proposes
to conquer the world must be de
feated, to the point whore It renounces
meddling with other nations, great or
small, or there Is no pence In the
world. That Is tho lssuo at stake,
nnd in it rests our safety and tho
safety of the world.
Oversea Meat Shipments.
For the last six months our
shipments of meat to Europe for
the use of our armies and i those
of our allies, has averaged 15,000
pounds a minute, or abcut9,000,-
C00 pounds a day, and an addi
tional 200 cars of beef are going
eastward every day for export.
During the five years before
the war we exported to Europe an
average of 40,000,000 pounds of
beef annually. During tho past
ten months we have shipped
262,000.000 pounds of fresh beef
across the Atlantic, also 63,000,-
000 pounds of canned beef, 586,
000,000 pounds of bacon, and
321,000,000 pounds of hams and
