Don't worry too much? To date
Germany's only victories in this war
have been scored against unfortified
cities, Red Cross hospitals, defense
less passenger boats and helpless Bel
gian women and children. Just bear
in mind, please, that the little Bel
gian army, aided by less than eighty
thousand British soldiers, held back
the German millions until unpre
pared, but always virile France
could get into action. And . with
peace loving France in action the
German rush was stopped and then
thrown back. Now aroused Amer
ica is in the game head over heels,
and America aroused is America un
conquerable. :o:
MAKE GERMANY UNDERSTAND
There is only one argument that
Germany understands. That argu
ment. as tho president said in his
Baltimore speech, is force force to
the utmost.
The appeal for peace by negotia
tion, which the president has tried,
has been ineffective. There is rea
son to believe that the Germans mis
interpret such appeals. Such com
ment as that from the German news
papers printed yesterday indicates a
conviction that America hopes to w'n
the war without fighting.
The only effective reply to such
comment is the reply which the
United States is making now, in
I pushing its war preparations, in in-
creasing the flow of men to the front,
in hastening- the training of a larger
force at home, in speeding up ship
building.
When this country speaks in terms
of two million men on the western
front, with all their equipment. thn
Germany will understand. K. C

, STRIKE PRUSSIANISM
AT THE BOOTHS
There is no reason whv the move
ment recently started by the Ameri
can defense society to re-christen all
American cities, towns and streets
hearing German names should not be
successful. The propaganda that
promoted the giviurr of German
names to American places has ever
been un-American. There is no more
excuse for the continuance of the
names-than there is for tbe contin
uance of the propaganda.
Very little good will conic of the
movement, however, if Americans
are satisfied to wipe out such super
ficial evidences of Prussianism, and
fail to go to the very roots of the
matter. Every outpost of Prussian
ism In this country should be
leveled. The German American Al- j
liance and kindred organizations I
should be put out of business. Ger
man language newspapers that arc
not wholeheartedly American in
spirit should be suppressed. German
aliens who are not in genuine sym
pathy with our national ideals should
be Interned or deported. Teachers
of the German language in the
schools who seek to belittle America
and glorify Germany should be dis
missed, while the teaching of Ger
man In the grammar schools should
be discontinued altogether. OfF.cc
seekers with German sympathies
should be overwhelmed at the polls.
In short, wherever Prussianism rears
its ugly head in America it should
he ruthlessly struck down.
The measures here advocated are
drastic, but so long and so cunningly
have German propagandists worked
to establish Prussianism in tnis

THE BALTIMORE
SPEECH IN GERMANY
President Wilson's Baltimore
speech was thoroughly pleasing to
Americans, .lie touched , the true
note of American sentiment, but
peace proposals behind and set Ii is
face toward the future with an ex
pression symbolic of the country's
determination in this war.
And his address was correspond
ingly unsatisfactory to the Germans.
A Berlin statement and everything
oiuciai emanates from Berlin savs:
"President Wilson now calls for force
to the utmost and in so doing at last
cieariy uescriocs the policy or ..lie
a 1
Americans and their allies: namely,
force against everything that opposes
them. Germany will not suffer frm
this yoke of force."
The object of such a statement is
of course, obvious. It is one of the
subterfuges of the Germans to read
11110 every statement made by an
enemy country that which will best
serve them in their own predicament.
"Force against everything that op
poses them" is a phrase, for example,
intended to impress the German peo
ple that we have joined an aggressive
force that took the initiative against
Germany. et all the world at
least that portion of the world still
able to think logically and maintain
a true sense of proportion knows
that Germany took the initiative,
has maintained the aggressive and
seeks to establish world dominion.
Any doubt we ever had of Ger
many s intent was long since remov
ed.
There are men and groups of men
in Germany who begin to understand
that Germany's greatest error has
been in reaching out to the western
world.
"We thoroughly misread American
sentiment," says the Kreuz Zeitung.
The Taeglische Rundschau says
Germany lost her chance to keep the
United States out of the war when
she "failed to prevent President Wil- It gives the radical patriots assur
son's re-election because of his anti- ance of the power of the law and the
German leanings.
From all of this we draw that Ger-
many whatever the crown may say
is not entirely satisfied with Amer
ican participancy in the world war.
Scoffing at presidential speeches,
then, really means nothing as reflect
ing the true German attitude, and
we may continue in the assurance
that Mr. W'ilson's Baltimore speech
"struck home" across the Rhine and
that the German people begin to
understand the meaning of the
phrase "force to the utmost." Buf

DEALING WITH DISLOYALTY.
The prompt conviction and proper
sentencing of one pro-German under
the new espionage act in Dodge coun
ty ought to have a salutary effect. It
ought to be a warning to those who
entertain simliar sentiments that si
lence is a virtue worth cultivating,
if they prize. their liberty and do not
wish to invoke the scorn of their
neighbors. To be sure, men who feel
a sympathy for Germany in that
country's war against civilization are
not going far enough in merely with
holding speech encouragingy to the
kaiser and his cause. But that helps
some, for utterance of sedition ha3 an
injurious public effect, and if not
checked, leads to conflagration. And
when pro-Germans suppress their
sentiments it will be easier for them
to eventually understand the deadly
menace Germany is to the United
States and every principle of gov
ernment we cherish, and they will be
the better able to embrace senti
ments of unreserved loyalty without
which no citizen can be a true Ameri
can. That there are still: many in
this section of Nebraska who ere
yet offended when, a harsh word is
spoken of the kaiser and his murder
bund is perfectly - obvious to him
that hath eyes to see and ears' to
hear. To amalgamate our citizenship
