In Kcvolalion we have several out
lines of world events. Anions other
nations plainly hroiuiht to view; is the
United States of America, and it is
very plainlv declared that this nation
is to hecomo u world power, whose
plans and policies will ha followed and
mutated by other nations. However,
it is not a pleasing outlook of what
the United States will do in the fu
ture. A Hose study ol these various
lines of prophecy makes one intelli
fienl concerning: important world
events."
J'eopheslos Fulfilled,
hen asked regard mtf the present
war situation, he said: "Then
Home prophecies in the hihle which
clearly indicate that in I lie last davs

this condition will continue to the

vior also associates these wars and

not ask for more definite fttlfilmcal

laid hare in the astouiiditiL nroiiosal made .Mexico of
; triple al I iaiicc of ( lerinaitv, Mexico and .Japan to attack
the United States. Such a proposal is horn of the imperial
desperation. "Whom the nods would destrov, thev first
make mad."
The plot is in keeping with (Icrmany's foreign policy,
with the JMachiavelism that rules the empire. Like the
Assyrian of old, the (Icrnian rulers seek triumph through
the destruction and enslavement of humanity, and no phase
of f rightfulness is too awful to employ, no friendship val
ued enough not to betray, no treaty so sacred it will not be
sacrificed.
Since the kaiser first determined that the time was ritK:
for ( Jermany to compier the world, he has interfered among
the factions of .Mexico, seeking to embroil the United
States in a struggle that would center attention and
absorb their energies so that he would be given a free hand
in Kuropc. While (icrman agents were blowing up niuni
tion'plants in friendly United States, conducting propa
ganda to influence public sentiment, interfering with
elections, and seeking to divide the nation, other agents
were busy in Mexico.
It is not a mere coincidence that whenever relations
between the I'nited States and (lermanv became strained.
the border lawlessness assumed menacing proportions.
When the Lusitania tragedy of May 7, 191!!, precipitated a
crisis, Iluerta, the deposed dictator, backed by (.icrnian
money and (icrnian agents, was plotting violence. Jlis
arrest in .J une caused Yon K'intelen's plans to miscarrv and
his death prevented the revelation of the plot at his trial
While the crisis iirecinitated bv the sinking: of the An
cona on November !), 191"), was intensifying the submarine
issue, the attack by .Mexicans upon American troops upon
their own soil took place at Nogales.
The sinking of the Persia, December :!0, 1915, was fol
lowed by the massacre of Americans at Santa Ysabel, Jan
uary .10, 19K). (icrnian propagandists sought to commit
the American congress to abandon American rights upon!
the sea at the kaiser s dictation, and the defeat of the pro
posal was followed by the .Mexican raid upon Columbus.
N. M., of March 8. New border depredations and renewed
activity by Villa preceded the renewal of U-boat warfare.
The battle of l'arral and oilier outrages were traced
directly to the ceaseless activity of (ierinan agents, who
have financed the .Mexican bandits.

Ynrrnwdnlo, lot t llerlin this moining
i.u ihe way lo I'eiuiiail..
The (icrnian viewpoint is incomprehensible to citizens
of the United States. The difference between psychology
of the Prussian niililarv caste and that of citizens of self-
ruling democracies is as wide as the sea. It is this differ
ence that is the fundamental cause of the great war. Jt is
this difference that has caused the break between Ihe
United States and (iennanv.
I u a recent issue of the. Westminster Gazette, ante
dating the break between America and Germany, Gilbert
Murray gives his interpretation of the irreconcilable con
flict between the Prussian mental attitude toward militar
ism and the mental attitude of the rest of the world. We
take the liberty of publishing the following synopsis:
e all remember the old philosophic doctrine ot the
'social contract' as the origin ol ordered society; that men
lived at hrst in a 'state of nature,' with no laws, no duties
to one another, no relationship every man a wolf to
every other man and, then finding that condition intoler
able, they met together and made a contract, and hence
arose civilized society. He fore anv contract is possible
there must be at: least the elementary understanding that
it a man pledges Ins word he should keep it.
It is that primary understanding, that elementary
sense of brotherhood or of public right, which it seems to
us the present government ol (iennanv m its dealing with
foreign nations has sought to stamp out of existence. It
has rejected the old ordinance which has held civilized
Kurope together. It has acted ou a new ordinance that
every nation shall be a wolf to its neighbor.
rui nanny i mis. this degree ol wickedness will seem
hard to believe of such a nation as Germany. The neutral
will suspect that we are just venting our anger in abuse.
Hut I think we can see how it came about. Germany is
the great country of specialization. Above all. she has pro
du I the specialized soldier, the Christian soldier, tin
chivalrous soldier, or the soldier with the sense of civi
dut it's; bul the soldier who is I rained to be a soldier and
nothing else, to disregard all the rest of human relations, to
see all his country's neighbors merely as enemies to be
duped and eiiiiqttcred. to see all life according to some sys
tem of perverted biology as a mere si niggle of force and
fraud. The Germans have created this type of soldier,
able, concentrated, conscienceless and remorseless; anil
then what no other people in the world has done they
have given the nation over to his guidance.
"Of course we all have armies. We all have military
experts and strategists. Hut with the rest of us the sol
dier is the last resort, like the executioner. We call him
up only when all other means have failed. Hut in Germany
the soldier is. always present. He is behind the diplomat
ist. In hind Ihe ed i ica ,,r. behind the preacher; he is behind
the philosopher in his study and ihc man of science in his
h 'at on ; alwas present and always in authority.
" I n oi her iia t ions the sword is the servant of the public
welfare, ;l s;iva' sen ant never used but in the last neces
sity; in ( o-i many all the resource of the nalion, its banks
and railw.n s. its schools and universities, its very religion
and philosophy, are the servants of the sword.
"It is this vhicii gives lo our present war something
of the quality of a crusade against the infidel. It is this
which makes peace so difficult aiHeonfidcncc so impos
sible. It was something approaching to ibis which made it
impossible for Kurope to live al peace with Napoleon; for
Ihe other Italian states to hve at peace with 'esare Horgia.
"And the tragedy is that, in each case, so much devo
tion and such great v irtues should he used merely as tools
rowani a purpose winch the human conscience rejects
intolerable."

"We will gladly pay $.". 000 to any

discovered that the deficiency really j
exists. I have said in all kindness
that he's convalescent. His own dis
covery proves It. Hope runs concur
rently with the thread of life.
Said this convalescent person this
morning: "Mr. Mills, who said in
an interview yesterday that many
thousands of dollars' worth of mod
ern machinery is being shipped to
low-grade mining proposition in
Alaska, might have some difficulty
to prove it." And then this unhappy
individual, for whoso recovery faint
hope is entertained, said other things
unworthy to be printed in a clean I
column like this. i
Cnrpciilcr Is (ioml Authority, ' '
Frank' (I. Carpenter, beloved by j
everybody who delights to read about
what the world is doing, wrote from
Alaska during a recent visit there:
"I'omhig north from Seattle. 1 saw;
my first great gold properties on
Douglas Island, just opposite Juneau, j
These were the Treadwcll mines,
which have been manufacturing gold,
as it were, for more than :t.' years !
They have, taken out something; like!
:H),0iM).itnu tons of ore and from it!
have extracted more than $t;o,0(M,
0i. The gold so far taken out has
averaged only $J.-I2 a ton, and that
low average ban paid an enormous!
profit for years.
"Just across the channel are
several mountains of itold which some
of the great capitalists ere just he-
ginning to work. They have already
siietd millions or dollars in prospect-
tug and developing nnd they will;
make fortunes out of ore, whose aver-;
age gold contents are almost $1 less
than thusn at the Treadwell mines. !
The- Alaska (iastiueau properties from !
whit h the owners expect to he mln-1
iug gold for a century to come, are
handling ore worth on the Averagtr
only Jl..i) a ton: and the same is
true of the Alna Juneau, the Kb-j
Her and other largo mines in that'
territory."
The gold mining of tod:y U a man

gambling business, as formerly. It!
if- more than formerly an industrial j
problem. Mining properties which
oi.r forefathers could not hr.vc mined '

Experience has taught Dr. Pierce that
"Anurie" is the most powerful agent
in dissolving uric aeia, as not wacer
melts sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless it is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kidneys
in a healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being so many times
more active than lithia, it clears tho
heart valves of any sandy substances
which tuav clog them anil checks the
degeneration of the blood-vessels, aa
