(Established 1873) 7 —=—————— “DEMANDS” : A Hun, president of the Bremen, Cotton ext change, has some “demands” to make upon the ailies. ; - He “demands” certain concessions in the after- war disposition of raw materials produced by the allies. ; : He “demands” restoration of the tonnage that remains of the German shipping seized by the allies. Ve He makes further “demands.” And he’s a “doc-| tor,”. which would ordinarily indicate a man of more‘than half-baked intelligence! ’ ° We are.pleased to inform der Herr Doktor that his bloody nation will never again be in a position to make, “demands” upon: any country or group of powers. ; vily ‘The words “demand”! and “command” are:to be banned inthe Teuton tongue, 2 ’ Germany: will-not dictate in future—she'll ask permission. ‘She'll not set, standards and ‘make rules but will'observe the’one and obey the other. | Her. power will‘ exist: as materially and perce . tibly as the’ eyebrows on a:clam! : «She is’truly ‘the outlaw nation, but -tlie allied © posse has ‘her headed for. the rockpile of repara- * tion‘and; atonement. Already .the handcuffs of Right’ are'on’her gory wrists ‘but the: ball: and chain é6f Might must be added to, completely cow, her—and that, ‘is now being attached! ..;__- oy So, let the Herr Doktor take himself to the mad- house: where his ridiculous. “demands”: will ‘be in; keeping with the temperature of his environment: * \'"* “ORFENSIVES” * ae The word ‘‘offensjve” does not exdlusively link itself.to German aggressive military movements. Offensivenesg characterizes almost every Teu- ton act. i aie } bi see! Even in pre-war days, to be offensive was the prided privilege of a Prussian army officer. He made the uniform a curse to civilians anda terror to women whose escorts were not bedecked in military regalia. : The boor of the bier garten was the boche who| will yet attain the figure of post-Crimean. days.| rattled a sword, He brawled, insulted, annoyed + women and if any particularly pleased his bestial lust, took them from their male companions with a vile remark or beastly. sneer and no one dared to interfére—unless a “superior” felt himself out- .. done by some enterprising unter-Hun. ‘- A , Every German of masculine gender who attains © his majority sees compulsory military service. » eiless. menace to civilized: mankind and woman- kind. ; a " If;he evidences'scientific genius or.business acu- : men, he becomes a tool in Hohenzollern hands for Teuton aggrandizement and Hun supremacy. , — ~The clutch of kultur is ever on thé trained brute, regardless of how long he may have been mustered out of military service. ! No power is left to him except that of ipersecu- tion. He’ vents his spleen on those helpless. to retaliate. To be offensive is his sole remaining individual right: As it is popular with those in , power next “above him, it seems to him his one redeeming quality in the eyes of his fellows. ~ Bilhelm kicks the crown prince, who bogts Lu- dendorff, which worthy “number-nines”. colonel Spitzenpeffer, who lambasts Major Mackenphizzle —and the caress continues down the. line'to the private who slams the women. . eae So, German offensiveness is a perfectly natural Teuton trait. een WHY AMERICANS ARE FIGHTERS i After all fighting ability is not a race character- istic. Intelligence, will and a good reason for fight- ing have much to do with it. ‘ e * The only racial Americans are the Indians,, The ‘rest of us are a high mix, with Irish, Germai, _ Scotch, English, Italian, Dutch, Scandinavian, § Polish, Slav. anstother kinds of hjood in our Amer-, ican veins. ¢ ‘ at All Europe contributed through the brief period Americans are wonderful fighters. | Isn’t it because of what they know they are fighting for? 4 For the same reason, won’t the British, the French and the: Italians, be better fighters now that their governments have something more in-| spiring to fight for’‘than mere bits of land—some- thing that appeals to the noblest qualities in any red-blooded man no matter what his race or lan- guage? , j A It takes: something | more than stern discipline and blind obedience to make a superior soldier. -And«that something more now inspires the sol- dier’s of the allied armies. (aN: S ONE OF WAR'S MIRACLES In the old days of Paint Creek—not so long ago) —West Virginia was to, all intents and \purposts a feudal barony. And when Mother. Jones tried to help’ the coal miners she was thrown into a) dirty jail and guarded by mine-owned’ militia. Yet judt the other day that same’Mother Jones —now 88 years old—rode with the mayor and sheriff in an automobile.at the’ head ‘of a mile- long ‘procession of union miners. . cae Great doings nowadays. ‘The war, is opening the eyes of: the blind.

Five or six years ‘after the Crimean war the au- thorities found that of every 1,000. marriages, 100 were the remarriages of widows, The normal ratio may be taken as about that of 1911—61 to it continued to do so in/1915, and in 1916, accord. ing to the British registrar general, it reached 85 to the thousand., Last year it is estimated that it rose to 94, and there is.reagon'to helieve that it This is fairly familiar phenomenon; it has been observed in this country by those responsible for the payment of benefits to the widows of men killed in disasters, that ‘within a few years an ex- traordinary number remarried.
