KAISI':i WILIIKLM is now ajcnlin fraiitically U.
tlie (Jcriiian K(ipl( to .staiK.l firm in tlie war fur de
fense of the Fatherland. An ahsurd solicitation for the
welfare of the people is suddenly manifested, (lone is the
boastful, bnttftfart partnership of "Mi; mid dolt" and the
"shining sword," which was to Oernianizc the world. A
few allied successes have (hanged the insolent tone of
kultur.
t is rapidly Ix-coming a war of defense fur deriuany
hut it is not yet a war of defense. One doesn't into
his neighbor's home and burn and pilfer and murder in
defense of his own home. The dcrmaii armies are still
holding conquered territory. Oerniany is still untouched
by the war. When dcrmaii armies stand on derniau soil
defending dcrmaii cities from the righteous wrath of the
world, it will become it war of defense for dcrinany, and
not until then.
When Germany first began her war of conquest, the
kaiser began yelling vociferously for peace and hits con
tinued it regularly since. Simultaneously the dernians
began levying indemnities upon conquered territory be
cause Germany was "compelled to defend herself front
strong enemies." derman thoroughness and efficiency
has been shown in the campaign of deception regarding "a
"war of defense" while looting ICurope.
The kaiser, with his pockets bulging with spoils and
his soul stained crimson with tlie crimes he has commit
ted in the name of the Fatherland, has not yet reached the
stage where he is willing to talk about' refunding the
enormous forced payments he has wrung from I5elgittm,
France and l'oland,'of making restitution for the devas
tation lw li.'iu . ciinolit ,P I'ut.imn,. (I,,. f..,.,.;i, ....;,....!
, , . ' ...... ovi;u 0)enlnK up wonderful opportunities
and making recompense lor the ruin he has caused but i tor advancement of men of the new-
lie will soon, to save his dynasty.
The needless burning of the historic town of St. Qtien
lin, and the modern manufacturing city of Cantlirai and
other occupied cities, form no part of a war of defense.
They merely show the untamed spirit of the vandal Hun
to destroy and mutilate and ruin that which he cannot
possess. The allies can not even think of peace, let alone
talking it, until these crimes are avenged. Reprisals on
derman cities and upon dernians are the only lesson the
Hun is capable of understanding.
dcrinany has raised something like twenty billions of
dollars to finance its war of spoilation. Vet dernianv
has less than half the resources of Hie United States,
which has raised less than half the sum Unit has been
given the kaiser. Are we, as a people, less patriotic than
the (icrinans that we lag behind in our fourth loan while,
dcrinany proceeds with her tenth?
We have a righteous cause the Germans have not.
We are fighting for human liberty to extend the declar
ation of independence to the world, as well as defend our
own fut tin while the dernians are fighting to enslave
humanity for dcrmaii glory.
Why then do yon not support your government and
your army as the dcryians support theirs I There iy only
one way you can support it you who do not fight, and
thai is to lend your money that others may fight for you.
Von can only do this bv buying liberty bonds ns
many as you can and keep buying them. And you will,

has there heen so nni'h activity ex

nad enni'n'initv .m"iif as ;t the pre-
draft who nre anxious for early pro
motion and active service overseas.
.Men of nerve and good mathemat
ical education, such as college grad
uates, practical civil and electrical
and mechanical engineers, master
mechanics, electricians, etc., hy vol
tintary induction under the draft
laws, can obtain the opportunity to
eater the service and be pent to the
coast artillery officers' training camp
at Kort Monroe, for appointmont as
2nd lieutenants.
Artillery specialists, of non-com
missioned officers grades such ai
sergeant major, electrician ser
geants, master gunner, engineers,
firemen, and radio sergeants, are to
lie appointed after graduating at the
schools nnd established for training
in Iheso specialties.
Automobile and truck drivers.
telephone and telegraph experts, etc
am required in great number, and
after induction into service will get
early assignment to regiments.
Hand leaders and band musicians
are wajited, for every regiment must
havo its band of 47 pieces.
Tho commanding officer, coast de-
feiiHcs of the Columbia, Kort Stevens,
Oregon, will give Information con
corning tho Increasing number' of in
quiries that are coming in.
Certain expert men who are nnt
I hyslenlly qualified for overseas ser
vlco may be inducted into service
nevertheless, for duty in home sta
tions, releasing men physically fit, to
;o overseas.
Thus, in fact, the coast artillery
has been converted into a veritable
"Dig (Inn corps" for foreign servi
to help bring the war to a successful
end.
Who wants to he in it?
