HiKtory furnishes manr illustrations
of the long-suffering character of the
German people. The dull record of
their servility la relieved only here and
there by a flash of that spirit of in
dependence and love of freedom which
has ever been the glory and distin
guishing trait of the Anglo-Saxon race.
We get a glimpse of this spirit in the
uprising of the peasants of Germany in
thS 17th century, when their priva
tions brought on what was known as
"The Peasants' War." With pitchforks j
and scythes, they warred on the mill
tary and nobility, and their desperation
anl sense of injustice so augmented the
power of their crude weapons that
was only after the bloodiest fighting
that they were vanquished in the un
equal conflict.
Very little was acomplished in the
war of social progress throughout th
17th century because of the long series
of mars which devastated the continent
at that period. It was estimated that
by 1650 no lees than TO per cent of th
German people had perished through
the ravages of war. pestilence an
famine.
I prising la 1833 Remarkable.
The principles of republicanism,
brought to the fore bv the French revo
lutlon. took root In Germany and bore
fruit In 1832 In the shape Of a rather
formidable uprising. No less than SO.
uoo men gathered at Hambach in the
Palatinate to demand emancipation, but
Bavarian troops quelled the rebellion
and similar uprisings in Frankfort, Bre
men, Cassel and Saxony were likewise
suppressed.
Perhaps the most ambitious revolu
t Kn In the annals of Germany waa that
of 1S48. when the spirit of democracy
was rife throughout Europe. Berlin
and Vienna fell to the populace, bu
the triumph was short-lived. Genera
tYrangel subdued the upjrising, and
Prussian troops soon disposed of other
rebellions throughout the empire. One
of the effects of the demonstration was
to secure a constitution for Prtisia. but
no sooner was the menace of the revo
lution allayed than the constitution
ao withdrawn which, of course, was
typical of Pruslan statecraft.
But even this comparatively recent
Indication of a spirit of Independence In
the German people Is of little slgnifi
cance in connection with a consideration
of present probabilities because of the
fact that such ideaa have not gained
ground since.
Ofran People C sited In IS 14.
When the war broke out in 1914, the
Kaiser had behind him a united people
who gloried in his power and were pre
pared to follow wherever his ambitions
might lead. I do not mean for a mo
ment to intimate that there were not
many in Germany who were and are as
keen for democracy as any Individuals
in the world, but I am talking now of
the people aa a whole royalty, nobility,
srtistocrary. junkers, middle-classes,
workers and farmers 98 per cent of
the peculation of -the country revered
their Kaiser and were proud to regard
themselves cs "his people.
I shall never forget the -scene In Ber
lin when it was. announced in the pa
pers that Austria had handed her ulti
matum to Servla. ' That evening I
walked up Unter .der XJtiden and saw
thousands of young men from 18 to 30
marching along with their hats off
clamoring for war. Mounted police
were on hand but made no effort to
disperse the gathering, although no
such demonstration Is ever allowed In
Germany unless it Is In keeping with
the policy of the government to per
mit it.
I turned to a gray-haired porter
standing; In front of a building and
asked him what it all meant.
War Praapeeta Elate People. -They
want war!" he answered,
"There- 10,000 of them and they're on
their way to the Russian Embassy.
Poor fools! I've been through two
wars against Austria in 1666 and
against France In 1870 and I know
what it means. These young men will
learn too. to their sorrow, before it's
over. There wak a time when the hand
of Germany was extended to the world
downward aa a sign of friendship, but
now it is stretched out upward to grab
all It can get!"
This old porter was wise enough to
realize the dangers which those higher
up Ignored.
On every hand there was evidence of
elation among the people at the early
prospect of going to war, and their en
thusiasm continued long after hostili
ties began.
The Germans had been told by the
newspapers that the war upon which
they were embarking was forced upon
them and that the rest of the world had
jumped upon Germany's neck and was
seeking to dismember the empire be
cause it was Jealous of German com
mercial supremacy. They were likewise
promised that the outcome of the war
would secure the "freedom of the seas"
and give Germany an opportunity to
meet England in the markets of the
world on an equal commercial basis.
Better laferssed Net Fooled.
To what extent the people believed
the official explanation of the purpose
of the war. I am not in a position to
say. Many undoubtedly accepted it at
lta face value, and gloried in the pros
pect of Germany's triumph. The bet
ter informed, knowing that every port
In the world was open to German boats
and that, in fact. 80 per cent of th
German foreign trade was with Anglo.
Saxon nations, must have been at a loss
to understand what was meant by th
"freedom of the seas" which Germany
was so anxious to secure.
But whether they saw through their
government's pretenses or not. practi
cally every German In th country went
Into the mar with a will, determined
to uphold German might and establish
the national principal of "Deuttchland
uber allea!"
It was confidently expected by all
that the war would be over within 90
days at the outside, and there can b
no doubt that if the German programme
had been carried out to a successful
conclusion the position of the Hohen
sollerns would have been secure for
many generations to come. Victory
would have so reinforced the founda
tions of the empire that It would have
been proof against political agitators,
2 believe, for hundreds of years. Democ
racy would be crushed the world over
and all that has been accomplished in
the past 1000 years would go for
naucht.
BuV'tWCeVraan' plan did not' suc
ceed. It went wrong right from the
start. Belgium proved an unexpected
obstacle, the English came In, Paris re
fused to fall, the French held their own,
the Russian hordes proved a real men
ace, and after the great, lumbering
German macnine bad traveled a certain
distance on its original impetus it waa
brought to an unforeseen halt. It was
very awkward for the government, be
cause It waa all so different from what
the people had been promised, and it
wouldn t do to shake their confidence.
To keep the facta from the public, the
preas waa put under rlgoroua super
vision, and none of the reverses which
the Germans encountered, none of the
political mistakes which they were con
stantly making, none of the unfore
seen difficulties which were developing,
was ever published until the people had
been gradually and skillfully prepared
to receive the bad news, while general
Information concerning some of the
misfortunes was suppressed entirely.
In this way the second year of the
war found the German people with
their faith in their leaders compara
tively unshaken. Disasters had been so
skillfully concealed or minimized and
victories had been so widely circulated
and magnified that the people were. If
possible; more solidly behind the war
and keener for its vigorous prosecution
In 191S than they were when it started
two years before.
SoclaUsts Not I'alted.
On May day. 1916. the Socialist Lieb-
knecht addressed a crowd In the Pots-
damer Plata, and his diatribes against
the Kaiser were so distasteful even to
his own supporters that they unani
mously turned against him when he
was arrested. The criticism was made
that as he was a member of the Reichs
tag It was undignified for him to speak
openly against the government from a
barrel on the public square, and many
Socialists with whom I afterward
talked aald his arrest served elm right.
Then Scheldman became the most
conspicuous Socialist in the public eye,
but he has developed into a most con
servative advocate of socialistic prin
ciples, and, indeed, the whole party has
Deen torn to pieces Dy dissensions ana
Internal differences. The Socialists
were never less of a problem to the
government than during the early years
of the war.
When, however, the food shoi
began to grow to serious proportions
and the people were put on such meager
rations that the pangs of hunger and
th ravages of disease became a con
stant reminder of the war and its con
sequences, a spirit of unrest became
noticeable. No one seemed to care very
much that the war which was to be
over by Christmas, 1914, was still very
far from over by Christmas, 1916, so
long ss everyone had plenty to eat and
the German cause was everywhere
triumphant. But when the ordinary
mode of life was being constantly
changed by one military restriction
after another and the pinch of hunger
and deprivation began to be felt
throughout the empire, the'n the people
began to ask questions.
aeatloas Difficult to Answer.
Why t iven't the U-boats subjugated
the English fleet and opened the Ger
man ports, and together with the Zep
pelins brought England to her knees?
Why does the war, which was to be
over in three months, now enter its
third yearT Why are we pressing into
Russian and French territory if our
only object Is to defend our borders?
Why are we suffering for lack of food
and clothing, if we are winning In the
field?
By th time America came into the
war, in April, 1917. conditions had be
come very bad from an economic stand
point and the murmuring of the people
was becoming more pronounced. Peo
ple were now not only asking ques
tions: they were beginning 'to insist
upon answers, strikes were breaking
out all over the country. Robbery and
bribery were never so rampant in th
history of the nation. The birth rate
had declined at an alarming rate and
the death rate among civilians was
rapidly climbing.
Poor food and insufficient nourish
ment were beginning to make them
selves felt and seen. The nation was
being slowly but surely starved to
death and the people were beginning
to realize it. Ersatz substitute
foods were not enough to satisfy phys
ical requirements. They might deceive
the eye but they couldn't deceive the
blood.
Suffering Indermlaes Faith.
The suffering that the people had to
endure began to undermine their faith
their -ulers. I heard murmuring on
the streets and In the streetcars, and
patients who came into my office were
not hesitant in expressing themselves
freely about the outlook.
In October, 1917, through the influ
ence of a prominent uerman officer,
mho was a patient of mine. I secured
permission to accompany my wife to
Warnemunde, from which port she
was to sail for Copenhagen.
On the way baok to Berlin all the
available seats in the first and second-
class compartments were taken and :
had to occupy a third-class compart
ment In the train. Although this was
somewhat less comfortable, I was rather
glad of the experience because it en
bled me to overhear an extremely en
lightening conversation between the
even or eight passengers who shared
the compartment with me. They were
f the common people the backbone
of the empire and their point of view
was well worth consideration.
As soon as I realised the drift of
their remarks, I sank down In my
corner seat and pretended to b asleep
for fear they would be more guarded In
their utterances if they realized or sus
pected that a foreigner was listening to
them. One or the group was a soiaier
returning to the front after a furlough
which had been granted to him for th
purpose of burying his daughter. When
e had arrived home ne naa round mat
is daughter had died from the effects
of under nourishment.
There was not a single member in
that group and they wer apparently
11 stranrers to each other wno hesi
tated to say exactly what he felt and
not a single word was uttered In favor
of the erovernment.
After the Russian revolution had re
sulted in the overthrow of th Caar, I
heard two workmen at the railroad sta
tion discussing conditions. "If we had
any tense and weren't such fools, we'd
start the same thing over here," l over
heard one declare. "Our government la
treating us worse than th Russian
government."

BY LEONE CASS BAER.
Some of us are born with pasts, a few
of ns achieve pasts, and Polly, a mln
ister's daughter from East Gllead. Ohio,
which Isn't on the map, had her past
thrust UDon her.
Left to herself. Polly had no past
She had a rather humdrum present, act
ing as a mald-of-all-work in the apart
ment of a bachelor, as a means toward
the end of cultivating her voice in Eu
rope. This waa before Europe ceased
to be the Mecca of voice trainers. It
was in the good old days.
Polly could have stayed In the afore
mentioned village In Ohio and sung so
prano in the choir all the rest of her
life, but Folly was ambitious. She
yearned for a future, in grand opera on
the concert stage or Chautauqua work.
anyway. So Polly went to work to
earn the money to have her voice done
over. Which briirgs us to "Polly's
Past." which is present at the Heilig
until Thursday night.
Among the frequenters of the studio
where Polly's employer decorated (he
was an interior decorator) was one
young- man. Rex, with millions, and no
spine or much gray matter to back it
un. He was cherishing a wild devotion,
unrequited, for one Myrtle, a maid
whose sole ambition in life was to
reform rakes. Rex couldn't qualify as
a rake, for it wasn't In him to be one.
So he took up space and other people'
time sighing about Myrtle.
Humorous Situations Score.
Then the Interior decorator and an
other chap and Polly and Rex, hatched
up a scheme to goad Myrtle into caring
for Rex. It swung upon that old Ovid-
Ian pivot about the art of love
"to make him (or her) jealous." To
make Myrtle Jealous. Naturally there
must be someone for her to be jealous
of. So Polly, demure, pink and goldy
Polly, was dragged forth and rigged out
with a scarlet past tacked onto her
that would make Cleopatra's history
read like the telephone book.
All Polly had to do was parade her
self and her Gaby Deslys clothes and
her Parislenne accent (Polly's mother
fortunately had.been made French by
the playwright and Polly had inherited
a perfect accent) up and down the little
world where moved Rex and Myrtle
and their kin and friends. Newspapers
printed a few accounts, gossips didn't
overlook much that Polly did, and
pretty soon Myrtle was doing her life
savin? act in desperate earnest, re

the wiles of Polly and her hectic past,

From here on I shall tell you no
more of the story. It didn't end the
way we thought it would. Sometimes
plays do not. This one springs a big
surprise, and, at the risk of having you
guess how it 'ended, I would like to
know what became of Myrtle. She was
a good girl and while not exactly the
type a man wants as permanent deco
ration in the flat, still, they couldn't
have had any play if she hadn't been
so Infernally misguided and a sort of
human vacuum cleaner of men's morals.
I hope one of the other nice boys In
the play married her. She deserved
something.
A delightful comedienne is Ina Claire,
with fine, fresh abilities In the art of
comedy and a youthful charm and com
pelllng sincerity about her playing that
holds us. Whether she Is demure Polly
of the housemaid present, or Folly
with the home-manufactured hectlo

Jewels, speaking exquisite French and
luring the hearts of all men whichever
Polly it is, Ina Claire's own charm

10-YEAR U. S. CAREER ENDS
Passing of Singer Recalls "Mllk-
Bath" Pnblclity That Heralded
Her Appearance Before
American Public.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12. Anna Held,
the actress, died here today after an
illness of several months.
Miss Held had been ill since .April
of a rare malady known as myeloema.
a disintegration of the spinal marrow,
and her condition was r.eported several
times as critical. She rallied repeated
ly, however, and until attacked by
pneumonia a few weeks ago was re
garded as on the road to recovery.
Anna Held was born In Paris, in
1873, of a Polish mother and a French
father. tTpon the death of her father
the family moved to London where for
two years prior to going upon the
stage, Anna was a street singer.
When Is years old.. Miss Held re
turned to Paris after touring Holland
and other countries with a comedy
company and after that appeared In all
the European capitals.
When she came to New York in 1896
the American public's desire to see and
hear the Parisian had been whetted by
stories of the perfection of her com
plexion, which she was reported as sus
taining by means of daily milk baths.
and the charm of a French concert hall
song, "Won't You Come Out and Play
Wiz Me."
For more than 10 years Miss Held
was In a musical comedy on the Ameri
can stage nearly every year, appearing
part of that time as one of the stars
in plays produced by Florenz Ziegfeld,
Jr. Miss Held subsequently was mar
ried to Mr. Ziegfeld, but after several
years they separated.
A daughter. iviane tteia. now a
years old, born of a previous marriage,
Is now on the stage.
Miss Held's last appearance In Port
land was with "Follow Me," whlen
opened at the Heilig on December 13
of last year. At that time she was in
failing health and for some days was
under a physician's care at the Hotel
Portland.
R. H. Back, of the Superior Court of
Clarke County, died July 19 of wounds
received in France. So this makes two
from this city who have been killed.

National Ideal, Mrs. Edwin Arnold, of
New York, .arrived in Portland last
night on the last lap of her long coast
to coast trip by auto, under the auspices
of the United States Bureau of Educa
tion.
Mrs. Arnold, who volunteered her
services in this work, carries the auth
orlzatlon of the National Security
League. She is a special representative
of the National Committee of One Hun
dred, appointed by Dr. Harrison H.
Wheaton. who arranged for her tour.
The great object of Mrs. Arnold's trip
Is to Interest the several states in pro
viding for the education of aliens, espe
cially in the study of the English lan
guage. Everywhere she Is meeting
with hearty co-operative response.
Quoting census figures, Mrs. Arnold
demonstrates the pressing need for ed
ucation among our alien population.
There are five and a half million people
in the United States who cannot speak
English, and still more significant, a
million and a half of these are native
born. Bringing the facts nearer home,
Oregon in 1910 had 103,000 persons of
foreign birth, mostly of German, Cana
dian and Swedish origin. Of these, 13.
631 weiy unable to speak English, and
6120 were Illiterate. Portland's foreign

Authorisation Received From Postmaster-General
to Proceed Immedi

The Pacific and Home telephone com
panies will be merged within a short
time and Portland soon will have but
one service. Statement to this effect
was made yesterday by Claude McCol
loch In speaking to Oswald West, re
ceiver for the Home Telephone Com
pany. Mr. McColloch' made the an
nouncement after receiving from Postmaster-General
A. S. Burleson the fol
lowing telegram:
No objection to your proceeding

telegram. Submit final proposal to me
before consummating the deal."
The telegram referred to was sent to
the Poetmaster-General August 7.
stating the conditions prevailing In
Portland In the two competing compa
nies and asking If the merger would
be satisfactory.
It was stated by Mr. West that the
bondholders of the Home and Pacific
companies had agreed to the purchase
of the Home plant at the appraised
value. This is an equivalent of 70 per
cent of the bonds, which have a face
value of 12,724,000. The Home phone
will sell, in short, for 11,906,800. By a
Federal District Court order in 1914
the Bell Company had been restrained
from absorption of competing lines, but
10 days ago it petitioned for a modifi
cation of thtt order so that it might
taice over me nome pnone.
Two weeks ago foreclosure action
was started In Multnomah Circuit Court
by the Los Angeles Title & Trust Com
pany on behalf of the bondholders. It
s said the foreclosure will not be In
terfered with. Is is said that it will
take about a year to make the complete
change necessary to the merger.
