ROUMANIA SLtIPPIN-G.
It. seems evident that the next new:
tral country to go over to the Allies
will be Roumanta.’ The only reason
_ . she hasn't joined them already is said
i ”to beta desire to harvest her grain
7 : before plunging into the conflict. The
-~ apps in all the Balkan states except
Servia, whose agriculture has been
prostrated by the war, are said to be
bountiful. ‘
lt may be that similar considers:
‘ tions are holding back Bulgaria and
. ,Groece. although their problems are
more complicated. It is even possible
, that those two nations will remain
neutral throughout. the war. As for
any or the three joining the Germanic
" allies, there seems not the slightest l

VIOLENCE AN‘DfiRIBERY.
Russia is still totally short of am-
munition. And according to a story
thatthas just reached Washington this
ditional “Russian unpreparedness." it
is said that. the facts heretofore con-
cealed by the Russian censors, are
these:
“Russia had many first class arms
and mtinition factories in attention.
especially in the vicinity of Petrograd,
flopmw, Novgorod, Tillie, Odessa and
.Ssbeslopol. turning out enough war
supplies for her ordinary needs, and
had accumUIated large reserve supply
_ But during the forty-eight hours pre‘
ceding and following the declaration
of war; against Russia these plants
were put out- ot business by incendiary
fires and ”dynamite explosions. The
Russians always have toil justified in
crediting the destruction of their mu«
nltions plants at this critical period in
their history to the work of German
spies or through the use of German
money."
It may be true or it may not. But
the matter is of unusual interest at
this time, not only because of Russian
present situation but because of the
problem that is becoming critical in
the United States. '
Many ships sailing from our ports
with war supplies have found bombs
concealed on board. with the obvious
purpose of blowing them up. There
|.huve been many explosions and fires
;r*ecently in American munltlon factors
ties, and even on American warships.
lThere has been lately an epidemic of
‘strikes in factories engaged in the
production of, various kinds of centre

diplomats hope for is to prevent their

GOOD-BYE, HENRY!

Full of Gratitude That God is With
iii: cause.de with those
Who Have lost landlines ,
The Complete text of the maui‘
festo of the Kaiser to his people
on the’ first anniversary of the
outbreak of the war is here giv~
on in full: ’ '
“One year has elapsed since I
was obliged to call to arms the
German people. An unprecedent—
ed time of bloodshed has befall-
en Europe and the world.
"Before God and history my.
conscience is clear. 1 did not
will the war,
“After preparations for a whole
decade the coalition Powers, to
whom Germany had become too
great, believed that the moment
had come to humiliate the arm
pll‘t‘, ivhil‘h loyally stood by her
Audra—Hungarian .ally in a just
cause, or to crush it in an over-
vvliclmingr circle. No lust for con-
quest, as I already announced a
your ago, has driven us into the
war.
"When in the days of August
all able bodied men were rushed
to the colors and troops were,
marched into, a defensive war evy
chv German on earth felt, in ac:
Cortlancc with the unanimous ex-
ample of the Reicbstag. that it
was a fight for the highest good
of the nation. its life, its freedom.
What awaited us if the enemy
force succeeded in determining
the fate of o‘ur pcopleaud of
Europe has been shown in the
hardship endured by my dear
province East Prussia.
“'l‘hc consciousness that the
fight was forced upon us accom-
plished miracles. Political con—
flict of opinion beramc silent:
old opponents began to under—
stand and esteem each other: the
spirit of true comradcship gov;
erncd the entire people.
“Full of gratitude. we can say
today that God was with us. The
enemy armies who boasted that,
they would enter Berlin in a few
months are with heavy blows
driven back far chat ., and west.
Numbcrlcss battlefields in“ var-
ious parts of Europe and naval
battles oil near and distant coasts
testify what German anger
in self-defence and German strat—
egy can do. No violation of in-
ternational law, by our enemies
will be able to shake the cco~
nomlc foundation of our conduct
of the war. . ‘ ‘
“The communities of agricul-
ture, industry. commerce. science
and technical art have endeavored
to softcn.tlte stress of war. Ap-
preciating the necessity of meas-
ures for the free intercourse of
goods and wholly devoted to the
care of their brethren-in the field
the population at home has
strained all its energiesto. parry-
ing the common danger. _ . .
“With ~deep: gratitude the fath—
erland today andelways will re—
member its warninrs-those who.
defying death, Show a bold front
to tl1e""enemy ;‘-those whomvound-
ed or ill, return; those, above all,
who rest from battle on foreign
soil or at the bpttom of the sea."

phans I‘ feel grief for the beloved,
whohavc died for the fatherland.‘

necessary military and political
economies and guarantees for y a
future which fulfills the conditions
for the unhindered development

“Thus we shall emerge with

right and freedom, however long
the war may last, and be worthy
of victory before God, who, we
pray, may bless henceforth our

matedvthat there are 409,698 licensed
insurance agents in the United States
