PAN-GERMANS ON THE CARPET.
Fearing the effects of the west front reverses and of
democratic propaganda on Teutonic morale the Prussian
war lords have decided upon a pan-German propaganda
campaign throughout Germany, and a further curtail
ing of the freedom of the press and speech in the empire.
This is the word received through entente diplomatic ad
vices yesterday. Following this plan announcement is
made that ministers will go before the people and explain
f aots concerning important problems that are facing Ger
- nny and the German people. This was decided upon
following the giving publicity to former pan-German
claims by a large part of the German press. This is il
lustrated by one paper, the Hamburger Echo which fol
lowing pan-German arguments illustrates how they have
deceived themselves and others, proceeds to call attention
to the many German assertions made by the war lords,
all of which the Echo says were false. It calls attention
to the fact that before the United States entered the war
these war lords asserted this country was bluffing and
would not declare war; that if it could be stirred to the
point of declaring war it would not send soldiers to Eu
rope, and that if soldiers were so sent the U-boats would
.sink all transports or blockade the coast of France so
they could not land; that England would be starved in
a short time and over and above all that Germany's firm
attitude toward the United States would force neutral
support to Germany. It called attention to much more
of the same kind of arguments and then to the fact that,
not a single one of these assertions r.nd promises made to
the German people were verified. All of them proved
false. The paper then argues from this that no more de
pendence can be placed on fresh promises beingmade
than on those which have proved utterly foundationless.
The Echo is far from being alone in so calling attention
to the falsity of the war-lords' predictions. There are
many others, and their statement? i-re stirring the Ger
man people to such an extent that the war lords can find
no other means to prevent this dangerous publicity than
that on which they always fall back as a last resort
force. Now they would suppress all papers venturing to
criticize their actions, for they know that their acts will
not stand the glare of publicity. Instead of taking the
German people into their confidence they are adopting
Ihe course of keeping them in ignorance as to all matters
pertaining to the war. for by this course alone can they
oven hope to 'still further induce them to sacrifice their
children in the shambles made that autocracy can still
longer keep its feet on the necks of the German people.
They consider it immeasurably preferable that every able
bodied young Gorman should die and his body rot on the
battlefields of Europe than that one jot of the sacredness
of the kaiser and his war lords should be abated. Ihe
Germans boast of their intelligence and their universal
education, but even the most ignorant Russian peasant
would not for long submit to this kind of treatment. 1 he
latter for a while, were deceived by those German agents
licnine and Trotsky, but even they saw through the trans
parent camouflage by which these German spies and
agents were surrounded and rebelled against it. It is the
fear that the intelligence of the German people may be
reached through the German independent press that has
caused the campaign for muzzling the press to be decided
on. It may succeed for a time, but it must fail eventual
ly, and then will come chaos for Prussian militarism. The
war lords have lived by the sword, iiid belief in the scrip
tures compels the faith that by the sword they will perish.
The Grand Army is holding its business session to
day, and among the things before it are the election of
officers and the selection of the place for next year's en
campment. St. Paul, Columbus and Dos Moines are all
bidders, and New Orleans has made a strong offer to the
old boys to come down there and see how differently they
will be treated than they were half a century ago. C. E.
Adams, of Omaha, seems to be the leading candidate for
commander-in-chief with F. C. Ilurd, of Seattle a good
second. While the members are "well along in years"
All Russia is aflame with revolution and if it was
possible for the allies to furnish the munitions and sup-
Balkans. As it is the kaiser sees his hold on the country
fast weakening, and another declaration of war against
Russia by Germany is among the not remote possibilities.

ALASKAN FREIGHTS HIGHER
Washington, Aug. 20. Freight ship

an inrrease in class rates granted by

The increase is applicable to con

and Skagway, Alaska, and between
South Pacifie ports and Dawson. They

doing a full day's work just as the men did, but they are
not paid as much. They demand the same pay for the
same work, and any fair-minded person will concede that
this is a reasonable demand,
General Byng commands the forces attacking near
Noyons this morning. It was he who broke through the
Hindenburg lines last year and had the enemy badly
whipped if he had been backed up properly. He is making
a splendid showing again today, and should be turned
loose oftener.
The boys in the army in France are using 1,250,000
pounds of butter and 700,000 pounds of oleomargarine a
month, but then that is only about a pound and a third
for each. It is a rather slow civilian who does not get at
least that much butter and substitute. i ' '
After all the isolation of the Arctic circle has some
redeeming features. Frederick Smithers, a fur dealer
who has been in Grant Land for five years, and who has
just reached Montreal, first heard there is a war in Eu
rope when he reached the edge of civilization a few
weeks ago. Just fancy all the worry he has missed.
Spain has at last plucked ud couraere enough to tell
the kaiser that if any more of her ships are sunk by sub
marines she will make the losses good by taking over a
German ship from among those now interned in Spanish
waters. This action should have been taken long ago, for
by this time Spain would have had title to the whole bunch
estimated at about seventy ships.

THE KAISER'S DREAM.

LADD & BUSH, Bankers l
ALL THE THIRD LIBERTY BONDS ARE NOW
HERE.
THOSE INTERESTED PLEASE CALL
AT THE BANK
The kaiser dreamed that he would reign from Naples
to Alaska; his subjects would be found in" Maine, and up
in Athabasca. He'd ride in state through Boston town
and swagger in Toronto, and see the peoples kneeling
down where has the vision gone to? Oh, Wilhelm ate
some liverwurst one night before retiring, and saw him
self in splendor burst upon a world admiring. He had a
throne set up in Cork, another one in Lansing, he saw,
Rochester, New York, his retinue advancing. . The na
tions bowed to hail their lord, revered his two faced eagle;
he gave the vanquished as reward a smile sublime and
regal. Oh, Wilhelm ate some rancid cheese before he
sought his slumbers; a lot of batty dreams like these he
hail in endless numbers. If you eat goose before vou
sleep, and dream you're Alexander, you say, "Hereafter
I will keep away from goose and gander." But Wilhelm
thought his dreams were sane, and not the fruit of sau
sage; and so he spoiled with bloody rain the age of peace,
the boss age. May he be reigning on a rock, when this
grim war is ended, some lonely crag where seagulls flock
and all the woes are blended.

out many theaters for a while. - We'll
go to the movies occasionally, and if
we iaj go to the theater we will each
pay for our own tw-ket."
"Oh, how funuv!" and Ruth laueh-

so utterly incongruous. The idea that
she should buy her own ticket. and

"Don't cross bridges until you come

Kuth bit her lip, and said no more.
Anil not even Brian's eoinpliineut be-
ause of her unproved breakfast, could
bring a smile to her face.
Brian renlly meant what he said.
He didn't ee but that they were
pretty well fixed. Ho never had been
accustomed to luxury, and the neat,
siniplv-fiinii-died rooms, with the daintv

soft-tuned nig ruga on the floor, the
comfortable chairs, big table which,
after dinner win cleared away, they

him all that was necessary for com-
ort- Brian thought a great it-a 1 of
lint: his comfort. Had he not, per-
lias he might have been more success
ful in a hunesa way. But "inan-
naua was alwavs on his hps. Never
waa ho in a hurrv to accomplish ur-
hing; another day was coming, he
would do it then.-
He had a verv optimistic nature,
and a war of impressing people who
did not know him, fostering in them
the belief that he would accomplish
groat things. Hut Mrs. Clayborne bad
sevu tho weakness in his character,
and had feared for Kuth 'a happiness
because of it .
t Had Brian been, or had Mrs. (.'lay
borne thought him, more stble, she
would not so lunch have minded his
poverty, and she would have assisted
hiin aud Kuth until such a time as
they could get along alone. But she
sensed his sicakness, and felt sure that
sooner or later Kuth would wake np
to the sort of man she had married
sad come back home. Not that Mrs,
Hayborne thought Brian a bad man.
:-u didn't. And he wasn't! but she
did sense his limitation. He was, he
always would he, a financial failure so
she thought. And so, after a month
or two of life in Xfw York, had Ruth
begun to think.
It was so belittling, Both thought,
to count every penny. Yet, never did

to say ske-waa unsappy at this time.
