Has No Love For Kaiser lnavale, Nobr., May 20, 1917. To the Editor of the Red Cloud Chlef:- Now, as our country has declared war on Germany, oi moro strlctlv speaking, on Kaiscrism aud Prussian militarism, I trust thateuch and every one will do their bharcand exert them selves In using all tho means that God and nature have put into their hands, In maintaining the honor and integrity of our country, and bringing tho war to a speedy and successful consum atlon. The doors are already thrown open for admission and ample room for all patriotic people, male and female, alike, and all apes, to be un nnd doing, and show to the world that wc are all willing to do our share, do our utmost in emancipating the rconle of all countries from the odious system of Koiserism, Prussian and barbarism, that so long domineered over the help less people. Such a system, with Its etfects and most appalling results, is really with out a parallel. The pen cannot paint, or immngluntion cannot conceivo, the widespread and universal devastation, horrors and misery created and perpe trated by that relentless system of Pitissitui militarism. As u brief illustration, they remind mo of the locusts of Egypt, roving at argc, tainting and poisoning, with their pestifoious breath, what thoir voracious appetite was not able to do vour; but these pests (tho locust) de stroyed inanimate objects, viz, vege tation and ctops, whereas the prey, plunder, destruction und general de vastation of Prussian military was of ii fn gi enter Intensity; to itemize it are too many to enumerate, too odious to explain. The task, now, .that con fronts us (Hie United States and Allies) isjto mitigate, these evils and make this world a better place to live In, and by foiuilng u united and solid phalaux, all woiking in unison, with ono another, wo nie bound to win, and Prussian militarism, with all their ac cessories, will bo completely eliminat ed and disappear like snow fioni the hill tops. Yours respectfully, Con McCoali:. What Makes It Go? The Mysterious Clock which was recently purchased by the Peoples Ilntak of this city has been received and installed In the north window. Many people are at a loss to know just what makes this clock go and for their benefit we give this Information; The revolution of the earth on its axis every 24 hours posesses both a rotary and centrifugal force. The ro tary force ts neutralized, so we do not notice it by the tremendous size of the earth's sphere, and the centrifugal force is neutralized by the magnetic attraction which causes artloles to fall Instead of fly out into space when diopped. By supplanting this neutralization of tho rotary motion of tho earth in its daily revolution by n counterbalancing inlluence secured by meaus of a bisect lug spherlod to which a magnetic com pass Is attached, nnd by astronomical ly calculating tho proper reduction in size so that the circumference of the cloak's dial bears the same relation ship to its axis as the circumference of earth bears to the axis of the earth and also utilizing the attraction of the moon to the earth, whicli is found to be felt upon the hour hand of the clock when this neutralization is removed by tho above mentioned scientific dis covery, then tho hands nro allowed to rotate in accord with the revolution of the earth, tho same as the earth rotates on its axis, except that tho calculation Is uuch the hands of the clock make two revolutions to tho earth's.one.
