This power Is not the German people. It Is. the ruthless master of the German peo ple. ... It is our business to see to it that the history of the rest of the world Is no longer left to its handling." President Wilson, .August 27, 1917. TiilS WAR IS ONE OF SELF PRESERVATION. "Here," says Everyman, "was a Kaiferdom seeking world domination ami perilously near encompassing it unless the world united to repel him." Thus ttie radical land reformer sees the issue. Is there any one still blind to it? But were we In America directly threatened? We trere, and we are threatened. A German book published in the United States in 1914, and called "Truth About Germany," sought to inflame us against England and France, and to persuade us that Amer ica and Germany had common ideals, characteristics, and methods. (May God save us!) It argued smoothly: "Two nations united by such common inclinations and Ideals, boldness of en terprise, far-sightedness, quickness of decision, admiration for intellectual achievements, can not help being ex ceedingly congenial to each other." Pleasant words but a lying tongue. ; Would Germany, once master' of Eu j rope, remember our "congeniality," i and be a good neighbor In the Americas? The Germans when writing for hone consumption hold a differeat language about world relations and "neighbors." "Formerly German thought was shut up in her German corner, but now, the world shall have its coat cut ac cording to German measure, and as far as our swords flash and German bloods flows, the circle of the earth shall come under the tutelage of Ger man activity." "A sturdy German egoism must characterize all political action. . . . The first principle of our policy, both at home and abroad, must be that in everything that hap pens the Germans should come off best, and the others should have a bad time of it." A. nice, congenial neighbor! But Germany, when honest, directly avows her purpose, ultimately, against America. We must "wake up," or we will be the easy "next step" in her ambitions. "Germany . . . may in less than two centuries succeed in dominating the whole globe ... it only it can in time strike out a 'new course,' and definitely break with Anglo-American methods of government, and with the state-destroying ideals of the Revolution." She is trying out her "new course" now. "One thing alone can profit the German people: the acquisition of new territory, . . that alone can really promote the diffusion, the growth, and the deep ening of Germanism." "Before seek ing to found a Greater Germany in other continents, we must seek to create a Greater Germany in Central Europe." "We must ... see to it that the outcome of our next suc cessful war must be- the acquisition )f colonies." "We must make room for an empire of Germanic race which shall number 100,000,000 inhabitants, in order that we may hold our own against masses such as those of Russia and the United States." Still further, it is no longer a secret that Germany, while we were still unprepared were neutral and while CJermany still ostensibly sought our friendship, secretly planned, when vic torious in Europe, to pick :i quarrel with us and wring from us pan of the costs of her European war. If the American "easy chair" is still too comfortable for serious thought of what Germany menus to do to us, then America deserves the fate in store for her. 'This is the material side of our peril, but there is another and deeper side. This war is our war, to secure our purposes in national and In Interna tional development. If Germany should win, her principles must triumph and force alone must rule the world, with the strong exploiting the earth. If the war ends in a drawn battle, with Germany unchanged in ideals and pur poses, all that is left of the world will be compelled to engage in the race of military preparedness, and the world will be forced to adopt Ger many's methods now so hateful to us. A Germany undefeated would force u to destroy the very basis of our government, our policy, our social and industrial life to devote ourselves, capital and labor, persons and prop erty, to one object a mighty mili tarism. Unless we win this war the mightest, most upsetting, most far reaching change this nation has ever known Is upon us.

No doubt a condition that has sent thousands to see the new Chalmeri with its two great devices that Hooverize gas. One of them is the now noted Hot Spot, which cracks up and heats up the raw gas into a cooked condition for wonderful power results. The other is the Ram's-Horn Manifold, which of the two is prob ably an even greater device. For it takes the gas vapor from the Hot Spot and carries it 14 inches equi-distant to each cylinder without sharp turns, angles or pockets where the vapor might lodge. So that at the moment of sparking, the gas is (like the charge in a large projectile) ready for 100 results. There's so little that comes out of the exhaust in the form of un burned gas as to be negligible. All the power goes into the crank-shaft and out of the rear wheels. And such a soft, luring power that it casts a spell of intense satisfaction the moment your foot touches the accelerator. t; M 'si V . 4.
