It is our business to see ' It that the history of the rest of world is no longer left to its hand!! o President Wilson.. August 27. 1917. THE .MATERIAL ALMS OF GER MANY. Germany believes that she has ! riaht to dominate the world. 1: militaristic autocracy believes th this war is a step toward such wo:' domination, but that German dema'-d lor the present may rest satisfied wMli substantial gains in Europe. For yevi German political writing has been full of the "terms of peace" after a war. and today those terms remain ii'ipl tered. The Russian negotiations ha-; served to prove that what has for a long time been public opinion, is now official opinion. The quotations will; show this. . First, the more general purposes: i "If we come victorious out of this war we shall be the first people on tin earth, a rich stream of gold will po-n over the land." "Ex -avsion of o-:t power both East an 1 West, if possiUU also over seas; political and military domination combined tndissolubly con nected with conom'cal eviansion, thi is our war aim." "The territory open to future German expansion must e tend from the Xorih Sea and the B-.l tic to the Persian Gulf, absorbing th. Netherlands and Luxembourg, Sv.it zerlnnd. the whole basin of the Dan tibe, the Balkan Peninsula and Asia Minor." Second, the immediate aims: "Om relations with Turkey have drawn m into this war, ... the Bagdad Railway must be extended by us tc the open , sea, even to India Itself.' "Belgium must remain under German domination . . . there exists nc better line of attack for the German army In a future war with France,' whom It is necessary "to weaken tc such a degree that she can never again be dangerous to us." "Will anybod believe that we will hand over the lands which we have occupied In the West, on which the blood of our peo pie has flowed?" "We are not an In stltute for lengthening the life ol dying states." But it Is on Poland and Western Russia that Germany has all along fixed her eyes. "We ought not tc let fall the sword from our hand be fore we have assured our future. Out eastern boundaries must not remain where they are." "Livonia, Kurland Esthonia, have been for more than seven centuries sister-countries united through German traditions. It is true Germans do not yet represent 10 pei cent of the inhabitants; but their char acter filters through the whole." "Let us bravely organize great forced' mi grations of the Inferior peoples. Pos terity will be grateful to us. We must coerce them! This is one of the tasks of war. Such forced migrations may appear hard, but It is the only solu tion. . . . The inefficient peoples discouraged and rendered Indifferent toue future by the spectacle of tht superior energy of their conquerors may then crawl slowly towards the peaceful death of weary and hopeless senility." The writer of this was hen viewing especially the non-derman, populations of fouth America. How Is America interested in thf European political and territorial re suits of this war? Well, first, we an at war. Germany believes that pcact now, on the terms she outlines, meanr a Germany victorious. That means a continuance of military autocracy ir Germany a continuance of an aggres sive policy a continuance of German faith in its special destiny to rule th world. Against that German Meal we art fighting. But we are also fkditinf. to save the Americas from the "next step" in German Imperialism. In thf first year of the war, the one great fear expressed by German officers waf that a long war In Europe would "cause America to wake up." Wakf up to what? Not to the need ol American participation In the war The German officers thought America negligible for this war. But they did and do, fear that America would awake to the danger to herself, hei Ideals, her institutions, her interests and that being awakened, Germany's vert step in world domination would be harder than the present one. There Is no hope of a changed Ger many of establishing those peaceful and friendly relations which should j determine international conduct II Germany gains her objects, or anv , part of thern, In this war. .s'ftc ha set her heart upon certain material objects. We must see, to it does not gain them. Then step blocked, we may hope people may awaken from their dream of empire. We fight for a world peace yes; but we also fight for self-preservation, and our best chance to save ourselves is this present moment now.

STATE POLITICS IS WARMING IIP FAST Andrew Reaney, pr n'lnent Lex icon citizen, spent a .' hours In epimer Monday. He was accom panied by his daughter, .diss Edith aney. R. A. Booth, wealthy '.ane county iniberman and former candidate for United States senator, has been ap lointed by Governor WiJiycombe. a member of the Statevllsihway Coin nission to succeed E. J. Adams. Rev. H. A. Noyes, pastor of the Federated church, left Tuesday for Portland, where he Is spending the balance of the week attending a coun 11 of Presbyterian ministers regard ing the war. Frank Turner has been busy the past week with his big motor truck, hauling supplies to his shearing plant at the Jas. Carty ranch, north of Lex ington. Shearing will soon be under way and Mr. Turner Is looking for ward to a busy season. Portland, April in. When R. N. Stanfield announced himself a can didate for United States Senator, the West-XIcNary machine thought he would be so easily defeated they could rest easily and let some good intentioned democrat take the party nomination. Today they are so bad ly beaten and frightened that Ex-Governor West himself is seriously con sidering becoming a candidate on the democratic ticket, defeating Stanfield at the November election and thereby maintaining the ascendency of the old regime. Stanfield has upset all their calculations, made such a strong cam paign that today he Is acknowledged to be way ahead of his opponents. It Is admitted that he will carry Mult nomah county and the betting is even that he will cary Marlon county. With this showing It will be Impossible to beat him and the only hope the dem ocrats now have is to beat him in the November election. This they believe they can do with the ex-governor. A few days more will tell the tale of whether or not WTest is going to ad mit MeNary's defeat and enter the light himself or, whether he will fore go the opportunity and try to bolster up MeNary's campaign In the hopes of putting the Salem man over. Me Nary's record In Washington has been one of promises and publicity only. This is not gaining him any support while Stanfield is known as a man who does tilings; a man who gets re sults, and can and will give Oregon a run for her money. S. E. Notson and Francis McMen amin, local attorneys, motored to the north end of Morrow county last Sat urday and spent Saturday evening and part of Sunday with the people of lrrlgon and Boardman In the interest of the Liberty Loan.
