THE MADNESS OF WILHELM
- WB—Mslrl,■ tawassfiWH^
If there exists anywhere in the world a reasonable
human being who doubts that the great war is a struggle
between democracy and autocracy, all he has to do is to
follow utterances of the Kaiser of Germany. 1 he mon
arch who plunged the whole world into horror and but
chery is also about 1,000 years behind his time.
His thinking along some lines goes back to the dark
ages. He still realy and truly believes there is such a
thing as the divine right of kings. Nations, according to
him, do not select the kind of government they are to have.
This is done for them by men up above, under the guid
ance and saction of God.
Wiring to the deposed King Constantine of Greece,
Wilhelm used these words: “The mailed fist of Germany,
with further aid from Almighty God, will restore you to
your throne, of which no man by right can rob you.”
In that one sentence there is a perfect picture of the
menace this power-mad monarch is to a world that would
dwell in peace.
“The mailed fist*—German adoration of armed power
which may make ruthless war on its neighbors.
“With further aid from Almighty God”—Wilhelm’s
belief that the Almighty is in league with the Prussian j
powers of oppression.
“Your throne, of which no man by right can rob you,”
—here you have the autocrat closing his eyes to the fact
that the Greek nation gave the throne to “Tino’s” aces-,
tor and that the giver can also take away.
Americans are in this war to eliminate the “mailed
list” danger, and to convince even Wilhelm that the voice
of the pree people niles, and not the outworn creed of the
divine origin of the right of an inbred family to hold sway j
over millions.—Empire. !
Extra! Bryan is re-elected president—of Winona;
Assembly and Bible Conference.

YOU CAN’T BETRAY YOUR NEIGHBOR
We don’t like to be eternally quoting George Bernard
Shaw, the brilliant Irish dramatist and socialist, but what
in the world are we to do when the man says so many
good things.
Shew sems to land right on the head of the nail every
time he strikes a blow.
He went to tbe trenches and then he wrote this:
“When war overtakes you, you must fight, and tight
to win, whether you are the aggressor or the aggrieved,
whether you loathe war as the kingdom of hell qn earth
or regard it as the nursery of all the virtues.
_ . i n * 1 .
“It is not that you must delend yourseu 01 peusn,,
many a man would he too proud to fight on these terms.
You'must defend your neighbor or betray him: that is >
v\ hat gets you.”
We think Shaw puts it well. And what goes for the
soldier goes for the nation. That’s why we are at war. -
We couldn’t betray humanity!
-*
And when the United States of Europe does finally
materialize, think what a fight there will be betwen Lon
don and Berlin over the location of the new capital.
There are men who ask your advice just to find out
if you won’t advise just what they have decided to do —
