"The object of this war it to dii'v-t
tir free peoples of the world from t
menace and the actual power of a vj:
military establishment controlled by a
irresponsible government, which, havii
secretly planned to dominate the wo"'''
Droceeded to carry out the plan wit o
regard either to the sacred obliga::n
of treaty or the long-establisred ,r.)
tices and long-cherlched principles of i
terrational action and honor; . . . Ti
power is not the Gorman people. It ;
ti.e ruthless master of the German
pie. . . . 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

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

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.
