Kour-mlnut men of Portland, open
ing their new campaign next Monday,
will give reply to the Insinuating query
of Prussian propagandists. "Is this a
capitalistic war?"' And the answer will
ha found In "who pay the Income tax?"
Th crusaders declare that they "will
hit one of the most Insidious lies of
th t;erman propagandist a swat be
tween the eyes."
Indicative of the facts and figures
that will be cited In conclusive proof
that It la not a capitalistic war. will
be those relating to tha income tax.
Tha larger the income, the larger the
tax. A net Income of tlOOu a year
pays but 2 per cent, or 120. Although
the man receiving 13.000 a year, re
ceives only 10 tlmea m much money
as tbe one getting $.'300. under the
new tax law he will pay 11 times as
much personal tax. In addition to the
extra taxes on his business. As for
the very rich, the Individual with

ARTICLK X IV.
(Extracts from Diary of January, 1917.)
Germany wants a peace conference
in order to make a separate peace on
good terms to them with France and
Russia, than hopes, to finish England
by submarines, then later take th
scalp of Japan, Russia and France sep
aratcly. Tha allies ought to remem
bar what Ban Franklin said about
hanging together or separately. I get
the above scheme from very sood au
thorlty.
The weather Is most depressing
dark, and rain every day. All hands
seem cross. Zlmmermann. I think,
finds It much more difficult to be the
responsible first than the criticising
second. Jt is not so easy as it looked
to him.
Th Kaiser atated the other day that
he did not expect peace now. that the
English would try a great offensive in
the Spring and would fail.
'Herbert Hoover writes me that the
Germans ar violating; all their pledges
In Belgium. II experts a year of
great difficulties. I hear this con
firmed on best authority and that even
the German official who is supposed to
see that food Is not sent from Belgium
to Germany In violation of Germany's
pledges sends out butter to his family
that there ta an absolute reign of ter
ror in Belgium, sudden and arbitrary
arrests, etc. I think the Germans want
to see all foreign diplomats out of
Bucharest and Brussels and the
charges against Vopicka should be
considered in that light.
Rtvldra Nation la Peril.
The greatest danger from submarine
war is that unthinking persons in the
United mates may start a crusade
against the President's policy, encour
age the Germans In the belief that we
are divided and lead them to resume
reckless arts In that belief. The con
tlnuance of a strong front Is the very
best war to keep the peace.
Both Ziramermann and the Chancel
lor asked me about Bernstorff. and.
returning good for evil. I said that lie
waa o. K.. on very good terms with
the Government, well liked and that
no one could do better:
A friend Just returned front a week's
visit in Hungary reports a great ncslre
for peace. I'ersons who, a year ao.
said that the President could have
nothing to do with peace or negotia
tions, now say he Is the only poasible
mediator. This conies from hitch irov-
crnment circles there.
The historic crown of St. Stephen
waa much too large for the Kintc. nut
the little Crown Prince made a great
hit with the populace.
An Armenian woman came 'hrouch
here the other day. Her hunband l ad
been captured or killed and her tale
of th treatment of the Armenians by
the Turks waa heartrending.
Farsakooara flearehed for Food.
Everything points to a coming crisis
in the matter of food; how serious it
will be even the officials themselves
do not know, aa there Is much con
cealed food and much smuggling over
the various frorttlers.
In some part's of Germany the coun
act of murdering; the sleeping- babes
of an enemy city are distributed here
with pride.
All Germans of my acquaintance have
impressed on me lately the renewed
danger of submarine warfare. The
American correspondents are not al
ow ed to send out tbe hate of America
peeches and articles. Cyril Brown,
of the World, says that last week SO
per cent of the matter he aent was cut
out by the censor here.
The new U-boat campaign will go
along- the armed merchantman lines and
an endeavor will be made to force or
get us In some way to reco&nlz that
an armed merchantman is the same
as a - warship and. therefore, may be
fired on without notice. It is the old
story, but more1 aubtly presented.
1'ood situation more and more serious,
riots lately in two markets in Berlin.
Have not yet received passes to see
the Belgians.
Undoubtedly Ludendorff is the real
dictator of Germany today. What he
thinks about America may be judged
from the circumstances before Colonel
Kuhn's recalL
The nearer I get to the situation the
more I consider the President's peace
note an exceedingly wise move. It has
made it very difficult for the terrorists
here to start anything which will bring
Germany In conflict with the United
States.
The Chancellor, Zlmmermann, ftumm
have all ridiculed the idea that Ger
many will go back on her "Sussex"
pledges; but if she does, then the peace
note makes it easier for America to
enter the war on the allies' side with aj
clear conscience and the knowledge on
the part of the people at home that the
President did everything possible to
keep us out of the mess.
(End of Mr. Gerard's Unpublished Diary.
Kaltor of Kalscrdem Germs a a Sonl,
The older I grow the more it seems
to me that all men are alike and tha
they have been alike at all periods
history, capable of the same develop
ment and differing only in environ
ment.
I do not believe, for example, that
any mystery Is concealed behind the
faces of the peoples of the East. Once
I asked Soughinmoura, my colleague in
Berlin, Ambassador of Japan, whether
the Japanese were as much subject to
nerves as w estern peoples. He answer
ed In the affirmative, but said they
were taught from Infancy to control
their nerves. I asked him how and he
said the principle of the system was
deep abdominal breathing with a alow
release of the breath as soon as nervous
ness came on. Japanese wrestlers
practiced this, he added, and when a
man took deep breaths it was almost
Impossible to throw him.
Of course, social life and customs
change with climate. But education I
the most powerful factor of all. The
Aztecs of Mexico offered human sacri
fices; but the letter of the Aztec mother
to her daughter giving advice and
counsel, mentioned by Prescott in hi
history, might nave beery written by a
Sexr England mother today. Somewhere
the world, moreover, is a savage
eating human flesh, persuaded that in
so doing he is acting in accordance
with the tenets of his religion.
Coaqarst for Gain Traditional.
But the German, or rather the Prus
lan, has been molded Into the extraor
dinary person that he is today by a
ow process of education extending
hrough several generations. At Ma-
rienburg. on the Baltic shore of Ger-T
many, stands the ancient castle or the
Teutonic Knights recently restored by
he German Kaiser. Tha knights at
ne time conquered and occupied much
f the territory that is now modern
Prussia. A military religious order.
they attracted adventurers from all
lands, and their descendants constitute
many of the noble families of Prussia.
It is this tradition of conquest for gain
that still animates the ruling class of
Prussia and therefore all Germany.
Gersaaaa One Mereeaaries ef .Europe.
Later, through the middle ages and
i the central power of the Emperor
grew weaker and weaker, what Is to
ny Germany became a nest of duke
oms and principalities. Before the
rench Revolution these numbered
undreds. After the Thirty Years' War,
hlch ravaged Germany from 1615 to
645, extreme poverty was often con
plcuous at these petty courts. War
was an Industry and the poor German
peasants were frequently bartered as

Europe, savages skilled in war, with- the country toward Prussia since the
out mercy toward the towns unfortu
nate enough to be Riven to their pil
laa:e. No more horrible account in all
story is there than the sack of Rome
by the German mercenaries in the year
27. when, under General George von
Frundsbere;, who joined forces with
the recreant Constable Bourbon, of
France, and the Spaniards, these law
less Germans invaded the fertile plains
of Italy and took Rome by assault.
The most awful outrages were perpe
trated. Prelates were tortured after
being- paraded through the streets of
the Eternal City, dressed In their sa
cred pontificals and mounted on don
keys. Altars were defiled, sacred im
ages broken, vestments and services
and works of art taken from tho plun
dered churches and sacred relics in
sulted, broken and scattered. For nine
months the or try continued, the inhabi
tants being tortured by these German
soldiers in their effort to find hidden
treasure. In fact, conditions in Belgium
of today had their counterpart centur
ies ago in the treatment of Roman
Catholic priests and the people of
Rome.
The (rrest ehanpe In the feeling- of
latter's conquest of the rest of Ger
many in 1866 is still exemplified by ona
quotation from Goethe. He said: 'The
Prussian was born a brute and civiliza
tion will -make him ferocious." AVe all
have seen how prophetic was this sen
tence. Skilled In chemistry, in science,
well educated, made rich by manufac
turing: and foreign commerce, the Prus
sians of today have shown themselves
far more bloody, far more cruel than
the German Lansquenet of the middle
aires who sold himself, his two-handed
sword, his military, experience and his
long; lance to tha highest bidder.
Tacitua tells of how the ancient Ger
mans when drawn up in battle array
used to sing a sort of war song to ter
rify their enemies..
It was Goethe incidentally who re
marked "Amerika, du hast es besser."
(America, you are better off.) The
poet, who died in 1832, foresaw, indeed,
the coming power of the free democ
racy across the seas.
