GOVERNMENTS OF FOR AND BY THE PEOPLE King Constantine has quit kinging and has gone house hunting in Switzerland. He turned his old job over to his son, so as to keep it in the family which probably will not be long. The world are learning that kings are not but simply by the consent of the governed. They are (lis covering that governments are assemblages of people whose object is, or should be, the protection and happi ness of the governed. It matters little what name a gov ernment may travel under so long as it is accountable to the people. England is practically a republic though it is called a kingdom; but the people rule and what they de mand they get just as surely as do the citizens of a repub lic in fact as well as name. The "divine right of kings" is an exploded theory, there remaining but two examples of this kind in civilized countries and when the war ends there will be none. The German people do not under stand it but it is a fact just the same, that this war will end when they have a government selected by them in place of the one that has brought the present terrible conditions upon them. Had the people of Germany had the decidiner voice this war would not have occurred, and millions of the flower of their country would not now be rotting in graves made by bursting shells whose ternhc explosions were the only funeral services. There would not now be in Germany and Austria millions of hopeless eripples, thousands of sturdy men from whom the light is shut out forever. There would not be desolate homes from whence father and son have departed never to return There , would not be a debt which generations yet unborn must struggle to pay. There would not' be sorrow in the homes of the German peasants where, before a government m which they had no part, ordered them to their deaths, peace and happi ness were the rule where now is all darkness and despair. If governments are for the benefit and happiness of the governed, what a staggering crime the kaiser and his military advisers have committed against the people of Germany and of the world. Instead of using this great, his boundless powers for the good of his people, crazed by ambition and misled by the hawks ana vultures 01 tne human family, he has plunged a nation of seventy mil lions into the depths of despair. The kaiser has done this because he holds he is responsible only to God, and he considers himself a sort of partner with divinity. Had he been responsible to the people the war would never have occurred, for he would have known it would have cost him his place. All the allies want; all this country wants, is that the German people organize a government A fleet of fifty German airships raided London yester day and murdered nearly a hundred civilians. Among these were ten school children killed when a bomb struck the school house, and at the same time wounding some fifty other pupils. We use the term "murdered" advised ly, for it surely can be called nothing else, when soldiers deliberately attack and kill non-combatants, especially women and children. If these little ones had been killed because of their presence in a fortified town which vas attacked, their deaths could and would be ascribed to the vicissitudes of war. There was nothing nf this IrinH vw. It was an attack deliberately made on a peaceful com munity, mere was no advantage to be gained, noth ng; to De accompnsned except what was accomplished, the murder of a number of women, school children and old men. The killing of these could in no wise help the Ger man cause, or have any effect on the result of the war. It was done ostensibly to terrorize the people of England, but if that, as the German's claim, was the reason of these SOME HORRORS OF (Continued from Page One.) -and calls : phistries of "frighifulness"- murder by its real name. Now that the submarines have been driven to attack ships submerged us ing the torpedo almost exclusively the murder roll is bound to grow. Frost explained. Most ships when struck by a torpedo, go down in two or three min ute, which gives no opportunity of es cape to those below decks. Some Recent Sinkings Recent sinkings which came under his observance since the beginning of tne rutliless wartaro show this con clusively. A freighter loaded with iron ore and vouvoyed by a destroyer went down in two minutes. Eighteen of her crew of twenty six drowned. Another sunk in two minutes after being struck. IShe was hit in daylight, but the submarine was not seen. Twen ty eight of her erew of 32 perished. The Abosso sank in three minutes ami thirty women and children died.

Not only that but it solidities the sentiment of the civilized world against this peculiar kind of "kultur," and against kaiserism. It is the same barbarian practice that caused the sinking of the Lusitania, and other unarmed ships without warning, and the sacrificing of innocent lives ruthlessly. It is in accord with the Prussian idea cf chivalry and of honor that permitted the German am bassador to plot against this government when it was at peace with Germany. It accords with the kaiser's "prin ciples," who while protesting profound friendship for America was at the same time planning to attack this country just as soon as his enemies in Europe were con quered. It is the same keen sense of honor that is now trying treacherously to make a separate peace with Rus sia in order to be stronger to dispose of France and Eng land, after which she would turn on Russia whom she had persuaded by false promises to assist at her own undoing. A nation that deliberately sends the forces to attack and murder women and children is without the pale of the law, unfit to associate with the balance of the civilized world. It" T I . IMIlT i. I .

For long I thanked the gods above us that we had peace strife I abhor and railed at men who tried to shove us into the noisome reek of war. But sometimes, in the stilly gloaming, when I sat by my figtree's trunk, all pensively my hangdowns combing, I thought our peace was rather punk, for principles we all should cherish the allied nations gave their best, and while they saw their children perish, we gloated o'er our treasure chest. that's always been our pride and boast; when tyrants came along we treed em, and soaked them where it hurt the most. Yet tyranny was rank and raging, these later years, and still we dreamed; the worst of tyrants war was waging; our eagle rather cooed than screamed. And then we started from our slumbers, we saw the proper course at last, and patriots in joyous numbers, have nailed our colors to the mast. And I, who hate all strife and quarrel, now swing the sword and make it hiss; for peace is vicious and lm moral in such a crucial time as this. -" c a; Sts !. . J5Ss. !

The submarines are now so fearful of exposing themselves to the deck guns of slowly sinking ships that they sel dom come up to question the escaping crews of pasenger ships. Out of six passenger ship sinkings investigated by him, this happened in only one case that of the Laconin, which was sunk near midnight. Murder from Ambush Hideous as this assinntion from am bush is, it does not equal the wanton erintes committed in the days before "ruthless" warfar when the subma rines came to the surface and attacked with gunfire. The warning given in these cases was simplv the beginning of the attack and sailors were often killed by the "warn ing shots," Frost said.

It only one case did Frost find that the submarine offered to assist the victims bv towing their boats toward the land. The sufferings o' these crews who were picked up by patrol boats were terrible.

Ia a very few instances there were signs of regret on the part of the submarin off: officers. One of these was related by his , Second Officer Kohlsatt, a naturalized re- snonsible to themselves, that the danger of another such ho fntwui' vfvmnvpH nnd ihnt at lnsr, the whole world mav he at neace.

To have the world ruled by what is rgiht rather than by what might compels. When this is accomplished Ger many can have peace, and until it is, there must be war, relentless, determined war. It was a fine exhibition of loyalty and a beautiful 'ex pression of appreciation when Antone Wirth, an Austrian by birth, and an American citizen by adoption, appeared in the Ladd & Bush bank yesterday and subscribed for a liberty bond. He was born in Austria in 1826, and is therefore 92 years old. He took out his first papers in this country in 18o7, and served through the civil war most of the time under bherman as with laborious fingers he traced out his application for a bond, and he remarked to the person waiting on him that when he renounced allegiance to his native land and swore allegiance to this he meant it and made no mental reservations. He said he had a kindly feeling toward the land of his birth, but that this was his country made so by his deliberate choice and it was here his children and theirs would live, and so he wanted to do something to help his country. The venerable patriot resides with his son at 205G Fairgrounds road, and came down town for the especial purpose of putting up his mite to help "his country." ,, in talKing with tne submarine cap tuin, the latter expressed disgust with the work cut out for him. With tears in his eyes, he said that submarine captains had been put to death by slow torture in Germany for letting big pas senger linerg escape them. Kohlsatt was asked by Frost if he really believed that. "I don 'r! know sbnnt it." lie nnswpr- Xorwegians i ed. "1 am readv to believe anything of Von Tirpitz.
