CUPID IN CHAINS IN GERMANY.
Germany is worrying about her
falling birth rate. She does not Bee
that it is falling in accordance with
l he working out of great natural laws
put in motion by herself. She does not
realize that when a great law is put
in motion it must work itself out and
and that the process cannot be stop-

greater. Wherefore, having put into
the German world every reason why
children should not be born, why

dren. why children when born should

all German life of any normal incen-
tive, having taken away liberty and
the pursuit of huppiness—in a word,
having opened the floodgates of nation-
al destruction, Germany is now fren-
izedly trying to sweep back the waters
with toy brooms. The latest of these
toy brooms is the recommendation by
a commission Investigating the birth
rate, that marriage hereafter be com-
pulsory before the twentieth year has
passed, that penalties be provided for
reaching twenty-one without marriage
and that parents without children be
punished for their childlessness. What

FORMER VICE PRESIDENT FAIR-
BANKS DIES; ILL SHORT TIME.
Former Vice President Charles W.
Fairbanks, died at his home in In-
dianapolis. Ind., last night. Death was
due to intestinal nephhritis. which
had been a chronic ailment with him
but not regarded as particularly seri-
ous until recently. All members of
his family, except Major Richard
Fairbanks, who is in France, were at
bis bed side.
Mr. Fairbanks' father was Lorlston
Monroe Fairbanks, a wagon maker of
Vermont, who emigrated to Ohio. His
mother was a sister of the late Wil-
liam Henry Smith, once general man-
ager of the Associated Press.

Come Get Yours Before They Are Sold
THEY'LL FIGHT THE HARDER
BECAUSE OF HOME
If you think this war business is not
serious business, you should be pres-
ent when recruits are leaving their
home station for the training camp.
When you see the tears of old fathers
and mothers, of sisters and brothers,
yes, and of wives, you will decide that
war is all that Sherman said it was.
But the boys themselves preserve a
brave appearance and go away with
smiles. But we know that within they
have unshed tears, loo. But such
hoys when they get "over there" will
fight like destroying angels because
they want to get through with the
business and come back home.—Vinita

ONLY ONE ROAD TO VICTORY.
We cannot talk the kaiser from his
throne. We cannot stop his millions
with words. We can win only with
fire and sword, with millions of men
and an amplitude of guns, airplanes
and the other machinery of war,
backed by an earnest determination
that sees no end but victory.—Tulsa
