Without a declaration by eithe:
bide the International war has ar
rived on our shores, and promises t i
take up its permanent abode on this
the last continent to become actively j
involved.
War with Germany is not coming. [
!t is already here, and there is noth-
ing left to do but arrange a few for-
malities after congress meets and

of the earth for the final overthrow
of effete, absolute, monarchlal power,
and the utter destruction of tha'
heritage from the dark ages; the doc-
trine of the -divine right" of kings
and its system of privileged classes.
This war began one hundred and
forty-two years ago with the Amer-

people in the original Thirteen Col-
onies threw down the gauntlet to the
German tyrant who then occupied the
British throne.
The republican idea spread to
France and then to South and Cen-

usurpation of Napoleon led to a coal

First.—Sit down and think It over.
Second. Stay where you are, so that
the men who are not lo«t will have
some chance of finding yon; if you
wander around they will have almost
none.
Third.—If you cannot stay still, but
must try to get out, follow a stream or
a logging road downward, and you will
eventually come out somewhere in
open country.
Fourth.—When you stop build a Are
and keep comfortable overnight.
Don't get excited; don't travel in a
circle once you discover you have beeu
doing so; don't hurry at any time;
don't «worry under any circumstances
