TITE MORNING OREGONIAX, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1914. British mmm STYLED PEACE FOE Professor Eugene Kuehne mann Compares Control of Sea to Militarism. GREATER ARMING TO COME PRINCIPALS IN COMEDY-DRAMA THAT DELIGHTED LARGE AUDIENCE AT HEILIG LAST NIGHT. Great Britain's Record of Annihila tion Cited in Argument in Behalf of tierman System; Masonic Temple Is Crowded. "Not German militarism, but nff- lieh navalism. is the greatest danger to the peace of the -world," said Pro fessor Eugene Kuehnemann in his sec ond address last night at the Masonic Temple, In which he discussed the two final points in his argument against the attacks alleged to have been made against Germany "in the field of pub lic opinion." As on Monday nieht, he argued the guiltlessness of Germany insofar as the causing of the war is concerned, and the justification of the advance of Germany through Belgian territory to Prevent France and Kngland attack ing her through the same method; last night he defended Germany against the charges of so-called atrocities in the conduct of the war and spoke in behalf of German militarism. "We hear from Kngland that the present war is a war against German mUitarism. which endangers, the peace of the world." he said, "yet why do they not speak of French . militarism, which is more intense than that of Germany, or Russian militarism, or Knglisa militarism or navalism, which has overturned the peace of the world far more than that of Germany? Rnsland'a Conquests Recalled. "The whole history of England for hundreds of years could be marked into epochs by the times in which she has annihilated the fleets of rival coun tries in her effort to hold what the conceives her God-given right to rule the sea." "If Germany is defeated in this war." he said discussing the probable effects of the conflict, "it will in tensify militarism throughout the world in its worst sense. The world will have to begin to develop armies and build armaments for the third sri-eat struggle between England and Russia, which will not then be far off. And after that they will ha,ve to de velop armies and prepare arms for the fourth great struggle in the Far East, and after that for a time perhaps the world may hope for peace. , "If Germany wins, it means that the grasping arrogance of England and Russia will be broken and that the world may come at once into a period of peace in which it may carry out its developments as it wishes. "And the friendship of Germany and America will be increased by the vic tory of Germany, for the German navy and the American Navy will be entire ly sufficient as a counterbalancing power to the British navy." In his discussion of German mili tarism. Professor Kuehnemann denied that it was a drawback to the eountry, but attributed most of the advantages that Germany now enjoys to the ef fects of her military system. Compulsory Service I plield. "It is not correct to speak of it as compulsory military service," he said, "for it is not servitude, but the highest privilege of German citizenship, for every man to be given the responsibil ity for the maintenance of the exist ence of his fatherland. "German militarism means only two things universal military service and universal military preparedness. "The German military system has not been productive of war as has been tiie accusation by people who are try ing, to make the world feel that this war is a war against militarism. This wonderful preparedness that the world noted with wonder when the present war began has existed for 44 y and yet Germany has kept the peace. Germany holds the record in all the world for continuous peace, for there has never beea in the world another empire of equal strength that has kept peace for 4 4 years. And yet they will dare to say that German militarism is a menace to the world." He attacked the argument that the German system of militarism has been an unbearable drain on the resources of the country, producing statistics to phow that of the four great power England, France. Germany and Russia the German empire spends several hundred millions of dollars a year less en tier military system than the others. In f'.ermany the per capita cost of na tional armament, he said, to be 1C marks, in France 29 and in England 29 "There is, perhaps, only one draw back that can be found to the German military system." he said. "It may be that it still fosters a slight tendency to foster caste and privileged classes. But these things are very disagreeable to tne educated people or Germany, and we will get rid of them soon, for this war is developing, not a strengthening of the lines of caste and privilege, but a democratic spirit, and this last small prejudice that may stand against Ger man militarism la fast disappearing. "The German army is and always has been the greatest educator of the peo pie. The wonderful growth of German industries Is as much due to the disci pline learned by the workmen in the army as to the scientific advance of our industrial leaders. "Strange as it may seem, the social Istic movement owes its strength and solidarity to the army. For it was there that the Socialists learned the disci pline. the unity of action, the subordi nation of the Individual to the Idea. In the first part of his address Dr. Kuehnemann devoted his time to lefutatlon of atrocities that have been advanced against the Germans. Atrwcitlea Held Impoaaible. The very efficiency of the German army, which demands iron discipline, he held to be enough to make atrocities on the part of individual soldiers im possible. "Moreover." he said. "the world should know that there Is no other army in the world that has so marry good-hearted and highly civilized men in it us the German army, for the Ger man army is the German nation in arms, and its character is the character of the German people." In contrast to this, he pointed out that the other nations have called to their assistance savages from all parts of the world. The accusations of atrocities made against the Germans he asserted to be due to the desire of the other nations to have something to set off In excuse against the atroci ties of their own levies of savage troops. "All of those abominable acts done officially by the Russians against the wounded and the doctors and nurses and those things that are done by the Turcos and the Senegalese, things that couldn t be told in civilised society, o that in time of peace when the I truth of what their own soldiers have I done shall come out, the impression ltja. . til . "yVk IV4? Politz on the Art of Spending Money A waiter who had received a small tip from a certain rich man, said: "If I had your money I wouldn't squeeze a nickel so hard." And the rich man answered: "If you squeezed a nickel as hard as 1 do yon wouldn't bo a waiter." But that is only a half truth squeezing a nickel is often fatal to both the- nickel and the owner. Politz clothes have never been exploited from -the viewpoint of price alone, but rather as a com bination of quality and economy. What we do contend is this: That the art of spending money consists in getting an honest equivalent in return, and that POLITZ clothes are equal in quality and workmanship to the amount you pay for them, and that they are superior to other clothes in this one respect: that they . possess a degree of character and style which yon cannot ' duplicate for love nor money elsewhere.

The. burning of Louvain he declared to be forced upon the German guard left in that city as a matter of tecting its very life against the snipers in the houses, and he asserted that ia the fires the Germans risked their lives to preserve the art treasures of the city and that very few of these treasures were lost. The injuries to the cathedral of Rbeims, which he cited as another of the alleged atrocities of the Germans, he said to be very slight and capable of easy repair. "The Germans did not fire upon the cathedral," he said, "and the French seeing this placed a guard and guns in the safe place. Not until they thus made the cathedral a part of their battle line' did the Germans fire upon it, and the only ones to blame for this result are the French themselves, ' who made it a part of the battle line." The capture of Kiao Chau he re ferred to as a cause for equal indigna tion among civilized races equal to any ndlgnation aroused by the alleged atrocities in the Western theater of war. The triumph of Japan in reduc- ng the fortress by attacking it on the comparatively unfortified land side he mimmized- Japan I Attacked. "The only triumph of Japan in this affair." he said, is quite another tripmph. It is that England has been forced to call upon her for help, that England acknowledges Japan aa an ally on equal footing with the white ace. The only comfort is that Eng land will have to pay dearly for this in the not far future; when the ques tion shall arise as to which of her colonial possessions shall be thrown open to Oriental immigration.' Following this address in English. Professor Kuehnemann spoke in Ger man to the German-Americans in the audience, urging the need of their putting the position of Germany fair ly before their fellow countrymen in America, so that the fatherland might stand fairly where it should in the estimation of America. The lecture was even more large ly attended last night than on the preceding night and it is estimated tnat nearly suu people were turned away from the doors, after the seats were filled.

V. Deardorff, day jailer at the County Jail, and W. H. Thornton, night Jailer. The changes took place , at once, although reasons for it can only be surmised. To replace the men removed. Sheriff Word appointed Frank H. Curtis head jailer, a position that has never been filled since the death of Jailer Harry. Grafton last Summer, and W. E. Truitt as night jailer. Ed Kennedy, who has been acting jailer, will assist Mr. Cur tis in the management of the jail. Frank H. Curtis has been superin tendent at Kelly Butte, the branch prison where many men were kept busy in making crushed rock for the county road work until recently, when the plant was shut down. He was for merly warden of the State Peniten tiary, having been appointed by Gov ernor Chamberlain. W. E. Truitt was assistant to Mr. Curtis at Kelly Butte, and both men are said to have given entire satisfaction in conducting that Institution. SEW IMPETUS TO BE3 GIVEfT HADE- IN -ORE GO TV MOVEMENT.

By special invitation from Ben Selling, members of the Multno mah delegation of the Oregon Legislature listened last night to an address by Billy B. Van, president of the theatrical branch of the Travelers' Good Government Association of the United States. It was the purpose ot the address to interest the Oregon Legislature in the adoption of an amendment to the election laws of the state enabling traveling salesmen and actors, absent from their voting precincts on election day. to have a voice in the selec tion of officials and vote wher ever they might be. Several who heard the address expressed a desire to have such a law en acted. During the week Mr. Van. who Is appearing at the Orpheum. will hold meetings of traveling men and actors who are appearing at other theaters. beautiful woman. Disraeli's purchase of the Khedive Ismail's Suez Canal shares may not sound like a promising theme for popular play, but it is all that.

There is little, in the ordinary sense. dramatic to be discovered in Disraeli's career. There could be no love story in the center of the plot, but this de ficiency has been beautifully put by by setting forth very charmingly sev eral sweet domestic scenes which ex hibit the affection he holds for the con siderably older woman to whom he is happily married. Too, he Is permitted to assume, in the story, a personal in terest in the love affair of a charming young girl who comes under his pro tection. The flesh-and-blood portrait which Mr. Arliss gives of the famous English statesman of Jewish faith is marvelous in its likeness to portraits of Disraeli.
