A, which contrib- utes to the material and spiritual needs of our soldier bovs, and which the boys in the field regard as .“a home from home.” We are going to do great things, for America has never lagged. ALCOHOLISM. The public health reports for June show that 3.16 per cent. of all deaths are caused by lijuor according to hos- pital reports, physicians in private practice never entering alcohol as a cause of death; hence, it is more than probable that the liquor trafflc is chargeable with four or five times this percentage of deaths or from 12 to 15 per cent The report says the greatest mor- tality from the use of liquor is among those engaged In the liguor traffic; in adaition, the mortality from cirrhosis of the liver and Bright's disease were decidedly above the average, causing 454 and 9.60 per cent, respectively of all the deaths. Of particular inter- est in this connection is the fact that 101 per cent. of all the deaths of sa- loon keepers and bartenders resulted from suicide. If the sulcides which are indirectly caused by the use of liquor were add- ed the per cent. of suicides attributa- ble to the trafiz would be more than doubled. Nothing destroys the manhood of a nation and breeds poverty and crime like the excessive use of intoxicating lquors. AWAITING THE VIOLENT ACT. Any person who thinks there is no real reason why America should be in the war simply lacks knowledge. Pan-Germanism teaches all who read that no nation on earth can find a rational excuse for keeping out of the war. It shows that the natlons of the earth have been colonized with Germans for a purpose: and that they occupy today strategic positions in every country. Once a German al- | wars a German is the slogan of Pan- $| Germanism Von Zimmerman was in earnest when he was trying to induce Mexico and Japan to make war upon Ameri- ca and promised to give New Mexi co and other Usnited States territory to the Mexicans. Germany denied American rights upon the seas, murdered American who were upon American ships and inaugurated here ai cr al propa- ganda to interfere = wil American trade and traffic within our borders. No country could more patiently have borne such oiutrages and they were resented none too soon. | EDITORIAL NOTES.
