WHAT WAR APPROPRIATIONS MEAN. Doubtless the reader, when he picks up’ his:newspaper and sees that the war department is asking for hundreds of millions of dollars, wonders what apt to,think how much more is neces- sary, especially when an army is fight- ing on foreign soil 3,000 miles away from America. ‘Here js what some of these appro- work of railways to carry supplies and men back and forth.

The United States needs $3,000,000,000. Keep that in your mind constantly from today until the second liberty loan is over-subscribed. Tell it to your friends and neighbors, the man who works near you in the shop, the man on the next farm—EVERYONE you meet! Poet jae fh ene It is true that the first loan of $2,000,000,000 was over-subscribed, but it was not until the closing minutes of the selling campaign that this was done. Let us over-subscribe this second loan during the early part of the month. Let us buckle right down to the job of showing the Prussian war lord and his junkers that we are back of the president with our last dollar, as well as our last man. No German defeat on European battlefields will be half as disheartening to the kaiser as the over-subscription of this second liberty loan within a comparatively few days. That will mean to him that America is in the war to ‘win, regardless of expense in life or gold! All the glory of victory is not to be found in camp and trench.

The latest culprit is former Ambas- sador von Bernstorff. long before we broke relations with Germany there was a well defined suspicion that ali the plotting, all the violations of our laws by pro-German agents, were «i- rected and paid for by the suave Ger- man ambassador. Then men most In- timately associated with him—Boy-Ed, the naval attache; Von Papen, the mn- itary attache; Wolf von Igel, the plot- manager—were all caught in our efii- cient secret service web. But even then there were people in this country who, when Bernstorfi - spoke of his love for this country ana his anxiety to prevent a breach, be- lieved him. a Evidence since goes to show there was not an honest bone in his body, nor a sincere word in his mouth. He plotted for the kaiser. He probabiy bribed for the kaiser. And herevis the proof: the state department has ofti- cially given out the text of a message Eernstorff sent to Berlin Jan. 22: “I request authority to pay out up to $50,000 in order, as ON FOR- MER OCCASIONS, to influence congress through the organization you know of, which can, perhaps, » prevent war. I am beginning in the meantime to act accordingly. In order to understand the signifi- cance of this, it is necessary to re member what was happening about then. It was seen we were steadily drifting into a position’ where we would be compelled to break off rela- tions with Germany. Soon after Bern- storff sent ‘his cablegram, Germany an- nounced her plan for unrestricted war- fare. The German ambassador evidently knew all the plans and to him was entrusted the task of trying to keep America out of the war. Bernstorff knew the president could break off diplomatic relations, but could take no more drastic steps. He shrewdly foresaw the great fight that might arise in congress over armed heutrality. He probably thought he couldbeat the president both on this! and on the war declaration, provided he played his cards properly before American industrial cities, created solely for the duration of the war, will spring up at various points in France. And the bigger part we play in finally smashing the Germans, the vaster will be the American railways, roads, shops and warehouses. These things are as vital to the war as the men in khaki themselves. With- out all these preparations behind the lines, the army could not exist for three weeks. This big building program has al- ready been started. Regiments - of American army engineers are busy be- hind the lines at present. Once all is secure and in skip-shape order in the rear, once food and sup- plies and the other necessaries can ve sent forward in a steady stream, the men in olive drab will be ready to step into the trenches and take up the battle for democracy. GERMANY’'S AMERICAN ALLY. Germany has a powerful ally work- ing within the boundaries of the Unit- ed States. Its operations are very effective. It enters munition plants and causes explosions. It cripples hundreds of factories which are labor- ing to produce war time necessities. It waits until the grain in the fields is ripe for harvest, and then destroys it over thousands of acres, or else it bides. its time until the harvested crops: ‘have been stored in elevators, and obliterates them by the hundreds of thousands of bushels. It operates in every city and town, and in the country districts. .It is unceasing in its activities, working by night as well as iby day, and for every hour of the twenty-four. It enters countless homes, bringing devastation and sor- row; and last, but not least, it causes | heavy loss of life. This foe is not an “alien enemy, but comes of good American stock. It] is encouraged by millions of people who believe themselves to be patriotic. | Without their help, it would soon be overcome; for the name of this great enemy is Preventable Fire, and its principal cause is American careless: | ness, : Putting their average cost at $7,500, apiece, America in a year burns up’ the value of 30,000 airplanes, and 20,000 airplanes would win the war; or, to put it in another way, the na- he had to return to Germany.

The two billion dollar liberty loan carries an annual interest charge of $70,000,000, but the United States burns up each year enough property to pay interest upon more than three liberty loans.
