"WE CANNOT BE BEATEN." ny VICTORY MAY AWAY, OUR BE THROWN We Can Beat the Enemy if we "Stick | {nows This and Into a False It.""--The Enemy He Would Trick U Truce. By Robert Biatchford . When the German gkmy entered the Russian port of Ripa their first care was to hang abole a hundred of the Russian revolutibnary leaders, to whom they owed thf capture of the town. (Chorus: ("Then raise the Scarlet Standard high.") When the German foldiers get in- to Glasgow and Coverfiry and--"they never will get .in" I hope not. I believe not, But who has kept them out? Not the orators nor the strikers nor the grousers. One would imagine from the malignants give themselves won by votes and phrases, and not as the Huns believe, by '"blood and iron." Now there were in Italy large numbers of visionaries who rode for a fall--and got it. As the result of cause of air | the freedom the Huns are in possess- ion of large and fruitful tracts of ItalHan soil. And the Huns are fore- ing the ecstatic Italian civilians to till the soil. They have made them work twelve hours a day in the fields--men, women, and children. If they do not work hard the women will 'be locked up and starved and the men and children will be flogg- ed, In France and Belgium the wom- en have been flogged--and worse. Young French girls have been hand- ed over to the German officers--as servants, Our "Democrats" who threaten to "run' Britain after the war have reckoned without the host--the Hun- nish host. Here is the German idea of the kind of "Democracy" that is good for conquered natjons. I quote from the German programme of the pan-German party, Who are the pan-German party? The whole Ger- man people--if they win. No doubt the Germans will not be the only people in the New Empire, but they alone will govern, they alone will exercise political rights. Thus, as In the Middle ages, they will give the impression of being a super-nation. 'They will only allow strangers under their rule to carry BREAK A CHILI'S COLD BY GIVING SYRUP OF FIGS Cleanses the Little Liver and Bowels and They Get Well Quick, When your child suffers from a cold don't wait; give the little stom- ach, liver and bowels a gentle, thor- ough cleansing at once.

Let us begin with a glance at the reputation and achievements of the German army. Ever since 1871, when the Germans beat the French or, rather, when they beat Napolean Ill, and his standing army--the Ger- man people have been afflicted sadly with "swelled head." It was Bis- marck's fault. Bismarck won three wars for them and raked in two hundred millions in French gold and the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. The result was the deep imprinting on the German mind of two false im- pressions. The first impression was that war "pays." The second was that the German army had won the three wars on its merits. This last idea was so blatantly advertised that other countries came gradually to believe it. What are the facts? Germany won three wars. The defeat of Denmark by Austria and Prussia was about as glorious as the thrashing of a small boy by two big men. In the Austrian war the Prussians had all the trumps. Austria was taken by surprise, and was attacked by Prussia on one side and by Italy on the other, The Aus- trian troops were armed with muz- zle-loaders and the Prussians with breech-loaders, In the Franco-Prussian war Ger- many again held all the trumps. The Germans had the larger army. They were ready and the French were not. They took the French 'by surprise and got their blow in first. They had a great general, and the French had only the favorites of a corrupt Court, Their troops were well sup- plied and equipped. They had more artillery. The French troops were illshod, badly armed, and badly led. The Lesson of Ypres, I do not wish to disparage the German army. They fought steadily and well. They had discipline and skill. But I will stand to it that the German success in the campaign of 1870-71 was not due to the superior fighting quality of the German sol- dier, And I think most military men will agree with me that man for man the Germans are not equal to the Russians, the French or the British. Just a word for our own men, The first 'battle of Ypres, in which a hun- dred thousand British and French defeated six hundred thousand of the best German troops, with ten guns to our one and a hundred shells to our one, was a finer victory than the German or Prussian army ever won in all their history, y I am asked if we can win. Possibly those who fear we cannot win are thinking too much of the Russian disaster and perhaps of the threaten- ed German push on our front. As to the threatened push. Will the Germans ever again have such a chance as they had at Ypres? Will they have a preponderance of guns and shells? Will they have six men to our one? Then why should we be- lHeve that they can do now what their best troops failed to do with all the odds in their favor? Let us go back awhile. battle of the Marne I said the Ger- mans were beaten and that they knew it. And I have often been told that I made a great mistake. But there was no mistake, What hap- pened? The Germans were out-gen- eralled by Joffre. At the Marne their blind rush for Paris was stop- ped, and they were driven back on the Aisne. And they have been held ever since along the whole front. They have never gained any ground, but lost some, After the Holding Out Our Terms. Very well. After the failure of the Marne and Ypres the German of- fensive changed into the defensive. The Germans had reached the point at which it is advisable to make peace. And I think you will find that the first German peace kite made its appearance not long after the failure of the attack on Ypres. What has encouraged the Germans to go on? What has helped them to hold out? The success of their treachery. The betrayal of Russia, of Siberia, and Rumania has encour- aged Germany to hold out--for terms. She hopes the Allies will tire. and that she will be able to be- guile them into a foolish peace. Now let us weigh the chances. There is no doubt that Germany had the best chances in the beginning. She was ready, and she had a defin- ite plan and a central control; ana she was able by surprise to carry the war into the enemy's territory and keep it there. Now the numbers of the Allies and the enemy are roughly as follows: -- The Central Powers have a popula- tion of about 142 millions. Against these (leaving out Russia), we have to put Great Britain, with her eolon- les, 65 millions; France, 40 millions: Italy, 36 millions. That, without counting Serbians, or Portuguese, or our own native troups, or the French colored troops, gives the Allies a to- tal'of 141 millions. Let us-say that as fighting men all the powers' troops are equal man for man, Let us assume that their losses have been equal. all 'the nations engaged = are war- Weary and more or less impoverished. We shall still find that the balance is fairly even, although we have not t into the scale the Allied navies, Rt this point in the [ourth year of the war, when all the combatants have lost much blood and money, and al are more or less war-weary, there Fon be | Because the hated Brit- | Let us assume that!

Mr. Holman, who {is now sixty-three years of age, has jlived in Toronto all his life and is a {man of wide acquaintance and many i friends. | "Two years ago, or more," he con- { tinued, "1 commenced suffering from {stomach trouble and nervousness and {going down hill. I had no desire for food of any kind, nothing seemed to have any taste or give me any nour- ishment and I was simply dwindling away to nothing. I suffered terribly from indigestion and my nerves were all to pieces. I haven't been able to strike a lick of worx since last April, I was as weak as a baby and actu- ally didn't have strength enough to carry a small flower put across the room. I was so unsirung that { would have nervous tremors and shake all over like a leaf in the wind. Many a night I never closed my eyes for sleep at all and was so tired and weak during the day that I could hardly drag around. I was as white as a sheet and just a complete nervous and physical wreck, 1 tried all kinds of medicines but kept going down until my hopes of getting well were all gone. "My wife begged me to try Tanlac and I began taking it under protest because I didn't believe it would do me any good But I soon found out Tanlac was different from other medi- cines I had taken and by the time my second bottle was gone there was al great difference in my feelings. In} fact, 1'was so encouraged by my won-| derful improvement that I kept on taking it and it has certainly done me a world of good. My appetite is great and I can eat plenty of most anything 1 want without feeling a sign of in- digestion. My nerves are so much better that I can sleep good every night and am feeling stronger and better than I have in a long time. I don't know just how much I have gained in weight, but I do know I'm a different man already and am still improving right along.

Can we possibly lose? If the French and British can hold the enemy with their own arms what is going to happen wheén the Ameri- cans come in? All the danger is past. All the im- mense advantages of the superior German numbers and armament and the initial surprise is spent. When the war began we had only 80,000 men in the field, and the Germans, better armed than the French, out- numbered them by more than a mil- lion men. Yet they were held. They were beaten. They did not break through, How are we to lose? I maintain that if Russia had been as well organized and as well pre- pared as Germany was, the Russians! could = have defeated the Central Powers single-handged. But now, reckoning the Russians as out of the war (and that is by no means cer- tain), we have a new ally of over- whelming wealth and numbers of al great fighting spirit, of invincible energy, ready to fall upon an enemy we have hammered to good purpose for more than three years, If We Stick It! No; we cannot be beaten. The only danger is that our victory may be thrown away, that class or party dissensions or mistaken ideas about the enemy and the war may drive our Government into a hasty and incon- clusive peace, We can beat the enemy if we "stick it," and the enemy knows it. But he is an artful enemy, and unscrup- ulous, and he will cheat us into a false truce if we are weak enough to let him, If our people understood; if they would not grumble about butter and sugger and haggle fur wages; if they knew what the enemy is trying for; how he hates us and burns to tram- ple on us and enslave us; if the people could be got to see that class feuds, and party feuds, and dividends and rates of pay don't matter, he- cause we are fighting for our lives; in fact, if all the men of Britain were unselfish, as loyal, and as brave as the soldiers and the women, there would be no need to ask if we can win nor if we are willing to lose.
