Experience Not Gained by Pursuit, but
Comes to One Who Does Kind
Deed Without Thinking of It
Thtse who seek happiness never find
It n truism thnt has been going the
rounds since philosophers began get
ting their words Into print or upon
graven tablet, observes the Dayton
News. But it Is well to repeat It oc
casionally, to keep it ever before the
mosses of humanity, that It may be
come so much a part of our creed and
fnlth that the youngest among us and
the oldest may realize the full meaning
of the expression.
There Is no greater utihapplness
than that of pursuing happiness, for j
happiness Is never overtaken by those
who pursue It. Happiness comes to
him who Is not thinking of It; to him
who Is doing something for others,
with never a thought of hi own hap
piness. No man has ever jet followed
course of conduct with his own hap
piness In view and nchieved hi pur
pose.
Service to others that 1 all there
is to life that savors of happiness. The
service need not be great; It I given
to few persons to be of great service.
And those w ho are of great service do
not realize It they do not start out
with that In view.
To be kind and courteous nnd con
siderate of the comfort of others that
is the service which brings happiness.
The man who helps a crippled old
woman upon the street car Is happier
for doing so. The fellow who stops to
wipe away the tear from the eyes of
a child who bruised its'hand ; the wom
an who visits a sick neighbor to see If
she can be of any use; the man who
puts another In position to help him
selfthese little services ore quite
great In the realm of things that go to
make for happiness. And they are
possible with nil of us.

which forbade the conqueror to force
any of the conquered to give Informa
tion. All the other rule nnd regula
tions she accepted In the most binding
manner.
But Germany's military leader had
no Intention of keeping these solemn
promises. They had been trained
along different line. Their lending
general for ninny year had been urg
ing a policy of 'rightfulness. In the
middle of the nineteenth century Von
Clnusewiu was looked uimn a the
greatest military authority, and the
methods which he advocated were ued
by the Prussian army In Its successful
wars of lSlift-l'l. Consequently be
cause these war had been successful
the wisdom of Von Clnusewltz' meth
od seemed to the Prussian army to be
fully proved.
Policy of Frlghtfutnesa.
Now, the ei-nce of Von Clausewitz'
teaching was Unit successful war In
volves the ruthless application of force
In the opening chapter f hi master
work. Vom Krlege" ("On Wur"), he
says :
Violence arms Itself with the Inven
tions of art and s'ience. . . . Self

termed usages of International law.
accompany It without essentlnlly Im
pairing It pow er. . . . Now, philan
thropic souls might easily Imagine that
there Is a nkillftit method of disarm
ing or subduing tin enemy without
causing too much bloodshed, and that
this Is the true tendency of the art of
war. However plausible thl may ap
pear, still It Is an error which must be
destroyed; for In such dangerous
things as war, the errors which pro
ceed from n spirit of 'good-natured-
ness' are precisely the "worst. As the
use of physical force to the utmost ex
tent by no mean excludes the co
operation of the Intelligence, It follows
thiw he who use force ruthlessly, with
out regard to bloodshed, must obtain
a superiority, If hi enemy does not
so use It."
In 1877-78, In the course of a series
of article upon "Military Neceslty
and Humanity," General von Hartmonn
wrote, In the same spirit as Von Clau
sewitz: "The enemy state must not be spared
the want and wretchedness of war;
these are particularly useful In shat
tering its energy and subduing Its will,"
"Individual persons tuny be harshly
dealt with when an example Is made
(if them, Intended to serve a a warn
ing. . . . Whenever a national war
breaks out. terrorism becomes a nec
essary military principle." "It Is a
gratuitous Illusion to suppose that
modern war does not demand far more
brutality, far more violence, and an
action fur more general than was for
merly the case."
In 1881 Von Moltke, who hnd been
commander In chief of the Prussian
army in the Kranco-Prusslun war, de
clared :
"Perpetual peace Is a dreum nnd not
even a beautiful dream. War Is an ele
ment In the order of the world estab
lished by God. Hy It the most noble
virtues of man are developed, courage
nnd renunciation, fidelity to duty and
the spirit of sacrifice the soldier gives
his life. Without war, the world would
degenerate and lose Itself In material-
Ism," "The soldier who endure anf
feting, privation nnd fatigue, who
courts dangers, cannot take only 'In
proportion to the resources of the
country.' lie must take all that I nep
e..s!ir,v to his existence. One has no
right to demand of him anything super
huimm." "The great good In war Is
thnt It should he ended quickly. In
view of this, every mean, except those
which nre positively condcmnhle
must be permitted, i cannot, In any
way. agree with the declaration of St.
Petersburg when It protend that 'the
weakening of the military force of the
enemy' constitute the only legitimate
method of procedure In war. Not One
mut attack all the resources of the
enemy government, hi finance, hi
roltnmd, hi stock of provision and
even hi prestige, , , ,"
Many other example might he riled
from the writing of Gorman general.
The very host Illustration of tlvla atti
tude, however, I to be found In the
emperor' various speeches, and espe
cially tn hi speech to hi soldier on
the eve of their departure for China In
V.sHl. On July 'J7 the kaiser went to
rttvinerhaven to bid farewell to the
Herman troop. A they wore drawn
up, ready to embark for China, he ml
dressed to them n last otllctnl meage
from the fatherland, The local news
paper reported hi speech In full. In
It appeared thl advice and admonition
front the emperor, the commander to
chief of the army, the head of all fler
many :
Soldiers Told to Be Mercilit.
"A wain as you come to blow with
the enemy he will be beaten. No mercy

legend today, may the name of Ger
man be o fixed In China by your deeds,
thnt no Chinese shall ever again dan

Open the way for Kultur once for all."
Kven the imperial councilors seem to
have been shocked at the emperor's
peoh, and effort were promptly
made to suppress the circulation of hi
exact word. The effort were only
partly successful. A few week later,
when the letters from tlm German sol
dier In China were being published.
In local German papers, the lending
sminllst newpaier, Vorwaert, ex
cerpted from them report of atroci
ties under the title "Letters of the
Hun." Many of the leader In the
relcrmtng felt very keenly the hrutnllty
of the emperor's speech. The obnox
ious word "Huns" had excited almost
universal condemnation. When the
relchstag met. In November, the speech
wan openly discussed. Ilerr Lleber of
the center (Catholic party), after quot
ing the "no mercy" Mirtlon of the
speech, added, "There are, ala. In Ger
many group enough who have regard
ed the atrocities told In the letter
which have been published as the duti
ful response of soldier so addressed
and encouraged." The leader of the
mitial democrat. Ilerr I'.ebel, spoke
even more pointedly. Townrd the end
of n two-hour address on the atrocities
committed by the German soldier In
China and on the speech of the em
peror, he said :
"If Germany wishes to be the bearer
of cl'illzntlon to the World, we will
follow without contradiction. Rut the
way and mean In which- thl world
policy has been carried on thus far, In
which It has been defined by the rm
peror . . . are not, In our opinion,
the way to preserve the world position
of Germany, to gain for Germany the
respect of Hie World."
The consequence of the emperor'
Speech I'.ebel aptly described ;
"lly It the signal wus given, garbed
in the highest authority of the German
empire, which mil"! have most weighty
consequences, not only for the troops
who went to (iiina but also for those
who stayed at home. An expedition
of revenge so lialbnrous as this bus
never 'occurred In the last hundred
years and not often In history; ot
least, nothing worse than tills ha hap
pened in history, either done by the
Huns, by the Vandal, by Genghis
Khan, by Tamerlane, or even by Tilly
when he sacked Magdeburg."

A thought came to me the other day.
Why could we farmer not plnilgo our
selves to give If not more than one
dozen of egg a month, This sound
little but Just think If all the tarmera
here In Clackamaa county only gave
one dozen a month It would not be
such a small sum after all. We could
appoint one In our auxiliary to receive
the eggs and aell them. The local
crenmeriea generally buy eggs tor
cash and pay more than tha atorea.
We could either aend the money to our
chapter or buy material for. Red Cross
work at our home auxiliaries.
There are not many of u farmer
women who can not spare a dor.cn of
eggs a month for the Ited Cross. I
don't think. Lets all do our bit.
Yours for the cause.
