Dear Sir:—1 am very sorry to in­

Peter. We have been officially in­
formed by the war office that lie was
killed iu action on the 23rd of March

months, will be lost through sprouting

liberally, every family can save a sub­
stantial amount o' other food, particu­

plus of potatoes the nation will also
prevent serious loss to the potato
producer, who needs to be encouraged
to grow maximum crops during the

WHY WE ARE

GERMANY
By
EPHRAIM DOUGLASS ADAMS
Executive Head. History Depart­

“The object of this war is to deliver
the free peoples of the world from the
menace and tie actual power of a vast
military establishment controlled by an
irresponsible government, which, having
secretly planned to dominate the world,
proceeded to carry out the plan without
regard either to the sacred obligations
of treaty or the long-established prac­
tices and long-cherished principles of in­
ternational action and honor; . . . This
power Is not the German people.

It Is our business to see to

world is no longer left to its handling.”
—President Wilson, August 27, 1917.
THE NATION AND MORAL DUT'ES
The rulers of Germany believe that
they have the right to prevail over all
other nations. They also believe that
the power of the state is the only ob­
ject for which its rulers should strug­
gle. Still further, thdy believe that
moral principles and ideas have no
place in determining the actions of
the state, since the sole duty of the
I state is to get power. This is Ger­
man political philosophy. American
political philosophy, from the very be­
ginning of our institutions, has op­
posed this theory, and now In this war
is fighting against IL For the Ger­
man theory necessarily carriee with It

feeling, of International right, of hu­
man decency and chivalry.

eagerly absorbing his teachings, de­
voted his life to spreading this gospel
of Power. It Is true, he said sneer-
Ingly, that "a stock of inherited con
ceptfons of integrity and morality is
a necessity for government," (useful.
that subjects of the state be obedient),
but "the end all and be all of a
state is Power."
The state is the
sole judge of the morality of its own
actions It Is. in fact, above morality,
or. in other words, whatever is nec­
essary is moral."
From this it follows, in Intematlonal
relations, that there is no rule or
guide to conduct except self-interest,
In this present war a follower of
Treitschke, one of th» leading com­
mon-school educators of Germany,
K i rsc henst ei nor of Munich, drives
home the theory. "The great lesson
which the German people has had to
learn is to think in terms of power.

True, so long as

the end of their existence. In spite
of all treaties to the contrary. . . .
Neither alliances nor treaties provide
the least security. . . . There are
no ethical friendships between states
in our day. . . . There are only
friendships of convenience. And friend­
ships of convenience last just as long
as the convenience itself.”
Professor Eulenberg of Leipzig sums
it up, "All ethical considerations are
completely alien to the state and the
state must therefore resolutely keep
them at arm's length."
Can we wonder that the German
Foreign Secretary spoke of the broken
treaty with Belgium as a "scrap o'
paper?" or that the school children

guarantees and agrees to the original
purchaser and user of the Success
Milker Free service on milk chambers
and valves during the lifetime of the
machines in case there should become
a defect in the valve or valve cham­
ber by accident or otherwise that
would have a tendency to effect the
efficiency of the Success Milker; the
purchaser to pay the transportation
or postage to and from factory.
Let Us Figure with You.
If you want a milker that will save
you time, labor and money, investi­
gate the Success. If you want to keep
your cows in prime producing condi­
tion you can’t afford to take chances
with a milker that docs not operate
on the open valve principle with per­
fect automatic release of vacuum dur­
ing one half the milking period. The
Success Milker has solved the prob­
lem of mechanical milking. It’s easy
to work with, efficient, economical
and easy on the cow. Once use it on
your herd and you’ll never be willing
to go back to any other method. See
us and we will give you price of the
size of outfit best suited to the num­
ber of cows.

Several lumbers of his flock have a
luxurant growth of tame grass grow­
