And her most appropriate scape goat is the kaiser. The world oat side of Germany would regard him as justly bearing the sins of h'ji peo ple, too. . If the war shall end with the kal- ser In power, or even in his place at the bead of the German government. but shorn of most of his power, there will surely follow commercial re prisals that will ' persist foAyear. The world will continue to detest the kaiser and all that he stands for. The elimination of the kaiser would leave Germany in much bet ter condition with the rest of the world. There would still be reprisals, to be sure; but the feeling which would provoke them would not persist... It would die out slowly at first, and rapidly in a few years, and finally disappear. Germany needs a scapegoat And the kaiser is the most appro priate goat for the purpose. And after him the crown prince and all the other Hohenzollerns. John Purroy Mitchel was killed while flying at Gerstner avia tion field, Louisiana, yesterday. . He was formerly Mayor of New York, as most Americans know. After being defeated for re-election, because he would not bow to the dictates of Tammany, he joined the aviation .forces of the United States Army, and was made a Major in that service. He woluefhave been 40 years old this month. Few men of his years have crowded more into one life. We are reminded of Bailey's lines: - "We live in deeds, riot years ; in thoughts, not breath ; In' feelings, not in figures on the dial. ; y He mostfliveg, .

' :y In our Civil War there was but one marked instance of a total disregard of the methods of civilized warfare in the treatment of prisoners. At Andersonville prison Federal captives were starved. maltreated and murdered. The man most directly responsible for this was Capt. Wirr, a German born and bred; and after peace was declared he was tried and banged without remonstrance from any Confederate. - v. - - ,-: . GERMAN'S FLAG A SULLIED FLAG Germany once;had a flag to be proud of. The, red, white and black commanded respect wherever it floated throughout the world as the emblem of a great nation. Today, in the eyes of the civilized nations of the earth, it is but a filthy- rag. During the Jast four years of horrors it has been dragged through the mud, spattered with the blood or the innocent till, it has become-the symbol of miq uity, of oppression' of tyranny, of infamy, of broken pledges. Its red stands for carnage, the wanton shedding of-innocent blood, the blood of, helpless women and children, it stands for arson, the savage incendiary of unprotected towns and villages, it stands for vandalism, for saerilege, for the destruction 'of churches "arid cathedrals and their sacred, priceless treasures, the burning of Red Cross hospitals and its helpless, wounded inmates and their sweet angels of mercy, the Red Cross nurses. Its white stands for. hypocrisy, deceit, insincerity it stands for a whited sepulcher, Prussian militarism, resplendent with gorgeous glittering tinsel and vain pump without, within full of dead men's bones. .' . :.. ' V Its black stands for piracy, for the' assassination of rwacefii bailors and travelers on the high seas, for the wanton, barbarous nd fiendish sinking of unarmed merchant vessels. It stands for the black eagle of Prussia, an eagle no longer, but a vulture that would seize Europe in its unclean talons, eather it under its loarth- some wings and pollute the sweet air of freedom with its suffocating foul and obnoxious breath of 'defrayed ideas and doctrines ' Still the loganberries come. The cool nights have been great for the loganberries. Production, not prediction, is put ting the United States in a position of preparedness. .' Sisera waa the Hlndenburgg of his time.

We bless Thee. for the boys who have so willingly and joy ously trooped to the colors, the boys who are far distant from us today. and' we invoke Thy blessing upon them. .They have gone with the touch of a mother's love, thev have gone with the sanctifying Influence of the church and the Sunday school. they have gone yrith the Inspiration oC Thy. Word in their .hearts. We pray Thee to give them victory upon the battlefield, and bring them back noti only with glorious victory perch ed upon their banners, but with the greater victory of an nnsolled man hood.

BOOZE RESISTS. HISTORY IX THEIR PRAYERS.. "Rev. Henry N. Couden is chaplain of the house of representative?, and Rev. Forrest J. Pretty man is chap- tain of the senate. By following the prayers of these chaplains In the opening of the two branches of congress, one might trace a fairly good history of the war. A few days ago, when Italy had driven back the Austrian armies. Mr. Couden opened the bouse with a prayer. of thankfulness for the vic tory that had come to the Italian arms. . He does not overlook any out stanfling event of the war. The following are the two opening prayer's of a few days ago, the first being in the house and the second in the senate: ' "O Thou Infinite and Eternal Spirit, through whose divine care and gracious providence we have been brought as individuals and a nation to the present hour, jre bless Thee for Thy love and care and I nr 1 1 it at fervently pray for the continuation UOVCniOr Would Have IlleaS- of the same, that we may fulfill to the uttermost our destiny in this life and be prepared for whatever awaits us in the great beyond. .

There is nothing that has made so severe resistance against legisla tion on so little merit as booie. Its immoderate use induces crime and poverty. None deny it.

When Ludendorf f says that "in diplomacy and in politics the coali tion has beaten us," while Von Kuehlmann admits that military vic tory : can not be won by Germany, the old game of passing the buck is well under way In Germany. .The game began with Prince Llcbnow- sky's confession and was continued by - Muehlon's denunciation ' of the war-makers a and Thyssen's indict ment of the kaiser. ; - when all of them ' take to passing ; the buck to the kaiser, his days may be consld ered as numbered.-ExchangeI ' Germany needs a scapegoat, and will need one worpe after the war. IN MISERY FOR YEARS Governor Wlthycombe bellevra that some financial provision should be mkde by the state to share the maintenance of an army of probably 5000 trained men to protect thw state in the event of the possible in vasion from the outside and this on question that wil be discussed vhn the governor calls a meeting of the state tax commission to decide what action can be tiken to provide funds in excess of constitutional limita tions as a war emergency measure. The governor expects to call a pre liminary meeting of the commission next week. t Governor Wlthycombe, in discus sing the need of state military pro tection, explains that he has no fear of internal dissension. , It would be wise." said the gov ernor, "to gnard against invasion from the outside.

One question we must deal with. is how for the state can go toward maintaining this organiza tion.' - l Another war emergency which the state must prepare to meet, the gov ernor said, is that of taking care of the wounded men who may return from the front.

CHAPTER 30 Why Madge Barricaded Her Bed room Door I have always prided my self on not knowing what fear Is, but never again can 1 boast In that direction. The queer sound at the keyhole of the living room which I heard short ly after midnight of the evening when Dicky had gone to Lillian Gale's affair after a bitter quarrel with me left me weak as a baby. But I knew I must get op, and that at once. Perhaps I could frighten away the intruder if I spoke through the door. At any rate I must reach the telephone to summon aid if I needed It. I did not con sider calling Katie. I knew enough of her temperament to know that she would be so frightened as to be worse than no use. . I had lain down in my heavy bath robe, because of the nervous chill I bad suffered just before getting Into bed. I gathered - it closer around me, clipped my feet into my mocca sins, which lay beside my bed, and forced myself to the door of the liv ing room. Who is there?" I called falnUy. but even as I spoke, to my horror, the door began to open. I sprang back to put the table between me and the Intruder, when Dicky ap peared before my.aatonIshed gaze. But it was a Dicky whom I had never seen before. He could have been no more a stranger If he had been another man indeed. His hat on the back of his head, his hair rumpled, his eyes glittering with ex citement. . and his steps staggering ever so sllxhtly but still distinctly uncertain, it did not need the odor of spirits which overwhelmend me as he came toward me to tell me the sickening truth. Dicky was drunk. I might have been "more terrlfleJ if Instead of . Dicky a burglar with a' revolver had confronted me. but I doubt It. I have always had a se cret horror that some day I would come In contact with an Intoxicated man. It did not lessen my distrust or rear that the man should be my own husband. : I backed away from him. mv bands outstretched before me.- I felt as ir I-should., scream If he should touch me. A sudden grim memory assailed tae vi i the times when I had crossed th street In my walks to- avoid patng' a drunken man on me aiaewaiK. iiere I was practically Imprisoned In the same room with one, and one who had a legal right to my presence. ' But Dicky made no move to come toward me at first. He stood near the door, swlnrlnr his stick Unit tUy. his eyes blinking a little at the light, his body swaying almost Im perceptibly. I dreaded to hear him speak. I expected the thick tter- ence, th confused words, which had always read were the hallmark of ah intoxicated man. But I was to ie surprised. neiio. sweetheart." .His voice was a trifle husky, but bla vnrrii were clearly enunciated: Indeed, his utterance waa much slower than us ual. He appeared to deliberate be- lore eacn word. "You're not angry who me now. i mow. You've had lime io sleep it orf. haven't you?" "Haven't you?-, repeated a trl flejmpatlently as I did not answer. I was gazing at him with a mixture of terror and amazement. "Yes. Dicky." I said faintly. I did not know what to answer. Any thing to keep him away from me. Evidently I had hit upon the right words. That's right.- he said, -that's Just all right. Yon see I'm not an gry now. I'm awfully sorry I smashed things up. I'd like to ask yon to forgive 'me, but yon seem a little distant to roe. Tell me. he raised his voice again, "you've had time to sleep it off. You're not angry with me now?" "No. Dicky," I answered, still at random. His repetition seemed so silly, but his words were not con fused. He evidently knew what he was talking about. Perhaps he was not so drunk as I had thought. Cut his nert words undeceived me. "Well, if jron" are not angry, get your clothes on and come with me gack to LH's." he said. "Best time yon ever saw. Everybody's drunk but Harry and me. We said we'd stay sober so .we could come np and get you. Harry Is down stairs In the taxi now. He wanted to come up with "me. but I wouldn't let him. Suppose I would let a stranre man come up to my. apartment when my wife mlaht not be dressed. Never!" He drew himself np with an air of offended virtue. Evidently he quite fancied himself In this role of protector of his wife's privacy, for he went en remlnlscently: "'I'm surprised at you I aald to Harry. 'What do you mean by pro posing such a thing? Do yon sup pose I should offer to come tm In your apartment If your wife wasn't dressed? I don't think I ought to let yon stay In this taxi at all. inch n Improper proposition.'

"listening to the taxi sing Its little song. Cllklty click, ellklty . click, cllklty click a elosa." , Dicky sang the last words with a great flourish. As he attempted to beat time with his cane he swayed bit more than usual and sat down suddenly on the table. He locked at It vacantly. - "This Is a queer chair you've g' here. Madge.
