Secretary of the War Committee of the
Union League Club of Chicago
VVe are fighting Germany for one
thing because Germany having split
the world In half Is now seeking to
devour the halves separately She
has driven a wedge straight through
the heart of Europe and Into Asia
and is seeking to extend it to the Per-
sian gulf
Tills is no accidental happening due
to the downfall of Russia ami the sud-
den shifting in the fortunes of war
Germany planned it all decades ago
She made no effort to keep the plans
secret She told us all about It She
had a reputation for ranking plans
and sticking to them from one gener-
ation to another yet the world paid
nt attention It seemed too prepos-
terous even for Germany to attempt
As long ago as 1895 a pamphlet
‘Tau-Gormany and Central Europe
About 1950” was published In Berlin
and had wide circulation It laid the
whole Mltteieuropa plan bare as fol-
lows :
“Poland and Little Russia (the king-
dom to be established at Russia’s ex-
pens) will agree to have no armies
of their own and will receive in their
fortresses German and Austrian garri-
sons In Poland as well as In Little
Russia the postal and telegraph serv-
ices as well as the railways will be In
German bands”
In 1911 Tannenberg’s book “Greater
Germany" was published This was
only three years before the war but
It showed that the idea of a German
Mltteieuropa had not been allowed to
languish It says:
“The new kingdom of Poland Is
made up of the former Russian por-
tion of the basin of the Vistula and of
Galicia and forms a partof the new
Austria"
Flow the plan has grown since then!
Russia’s collapse dropped whole prov-
inces into the lap of the kaiser and
now Germany plans its empire on a
scale which would dwarf that of an-
cient Rome It is to embrace the orig-
inal Central Europe Inhabited by
some 73000000 Germans make the
Black sea a German lake and extend
dear to the Persian gulf through the
vassal states of Bulgaria and Turkey
The German government started to
put its scheme for a Mitteleuropa in-
to effect years ago when it began the
construction of the Rerlin-to-Ragdad
railway Little Serbia stood in the
way so Serbia was attacked and the
world was plunged into war ' In the
opposite corner of Europe Belginm
was invaded and crushed The world
then thought that this was only be-
cause Belgium offered the easiest
xoute to France biit slndy of the Mit-
teleuropa plan of years ago shows that
Belgium was Included in the scheme
of conquest
“IIow does all this affect America?”
one may ask Germany was a late
eomer in the family of great nations
Most of the uncivilized world had been
pre-empted by other nations before
Flie arrived Germany wanted col-
onies To get them she would have
to take them away from someone else
Africa and South America offered
the best fields for German coloniza-
tion England possessed the best part
of Africa — the parts in which the
white man might hope to settle and
thrive England had a mighty fleet
and a disposition to hoid what she
had even though she dirt not show a
disposition to fight for more
There remained South America It
was divided among weak nations It
jvns protected only by the Monroe doc-
trine This Monroe doctrine was a
stirred thing to Americans hnt not
bring backed up by mighty armies and
fleets was not even a “scrap of paper”
to the Germans Can anyone doubt
should Germany succeed in welding
Into a mighty empire the 73009000
Germans and the 100000000 Inhabi-
tants of the vassal and conquered
states of her Mltteieuropa that her
next step would be toward the west?
The very fact that she had this em-
pire would presuppose the defeat of
England so that no British fleet would
stand between us and Germany when
the time came for the kaiser to send
his legions across the Atlantic
“As in the East so in the West"
Is a motto which of iveent weeks has
been much heard In Germany At a
conference of the national liberal par-
ty held in March of this year the fol-
lowing amazingly frank declaration
was made:
“Our policy has been directed to
making the government and majority
turn away from the reichstag resolu-
tion of July 19 (Peace without an-
nexations and indemnities) In that
we have succeeded Peace has Just
been made in the East under condi-
tions In flat contradiction to the pol-
icy of July 19 and has received the
support and assent of ail the burgeoi
parties”
In other words all Germany Is now
planning both annexations and Indem-
nities such as will leave her without
formidable opponent in the world
Can we make peace now and leave
Germany flashed with victory in pos-
session of all ahe has gained and lust-
ing for further conqnest? If we did
would not the whole world live In
perpetual terror of German aggres-
sion each country awaiting its turn to
he gobbled c? Can any red-blooded
American talk about peace without
vietroy — victory so deceive that Ger-
many win be forced to disgorge all It
has seized and the German menace be
removed from the world forever?

CARNIVAL TABOO IS the farms are supposed to be
CAUSING ANXIETY i doing a large amount of work
land in many sections of the
Oklahoma City Okla July1
3rd — The action of the Okla-
loma State Council of Defense
in urging county councils to
ar carnivals and kindred ex-
libitions during the period of
the war has caused consterna-
tion in the camp of the tent
show people and many inqui-
ries are being received from
managers in all parts of the
country asking whether the
decision is final
An inquiry was made by
the editor of the Billboard ask-
ing if the complaints received
y him wefe based on fact and
asking for the causes leading
up to the action of the state
council The following rea-
sons were given in reply: First
the carnivals and tent show’s
employ a number of people
who should be in profitable in-
dustry second a large num-
ber of the shows w’hich oper-
ate in this state are far from
the best morally many of
them being of the “forty-
niner” variety third they take
out of the country a large
amonut of money which
should be used for war purpos-
es without bringing any ben-
efit to the people in exchange
and finally especially in the
harvest fields and other places
where laborers are most in de-
mand they decrease the effici-
ency of farm labor
“In this state” the reply
continues “ at the present
time our labor situation is ac-
ute Women and children on
country storekeepers and
clerks from the cities have
been forced into tb fields to
save the crops
“The action was taken by
the Oklahoma State Council of
Defense purely as a war measure”
