WHY THE GERMANS AfiE FRIGHTFUL "Kriecesirebrauch in Land Krieee" is the title of .a manual fonnd on cantiired German officers and. translated, means "Mili tary Usaee in Land Warfare." In this text-book of Prussian mill tarism is much effort to justify "f rightfulness," but the gospel of the whole thing is summed up in these words: : "ANY WRONG THAT THE WAR DEMANDS, HOWEVER GREAT IT MAY BE, IS ALLOWED." This has. become a principle with the German autocracy, with the German army, with the German people. It 'has been preached into, taught into and (legislated into Germany for fifty years past. What difference does it make who started the war and why? What difference does it make what territory or trade advan tage Germany is after f , , . Why count the eost of putting down such' a horrible policy' Why think, of peace on any other terms than the, complete ex tinctioa of Germany's martial power? ' " As well consent to compromise with Satan and with hell 1 Inthe future there must be no Krupp works; there must be no German army or navy; there must be no German submarines nor must any be allowed to be constructed; there must be only a Ger man stripped of all power to do wrong. It iafor this that-the armies of the civilized nations must fight And after the German armies shall have been defeated, and that country shall have been stripped of power to again run amuck In the .world, a watch will have to be placed upon that nation, nn til a different genius is created in Germany; a genius of peace, to take the peace oi the genius of war in its most criminal and hor nble form. ; . ' The French are evidently determined to rid France of every armed JJerman, and to do it now, while the going is good. Marshal Foch is said to look twenty years younger. , And the Kaiser? . The French just needed a good start and plenty of encourage cent. " Foch still goes forward. if Germany grows weaker dally. The Sammies captured a box of 450 Iron crosses the other day. And It .wasn't much of a day. for 'iron crosses,, either. '. ; ; ; ' ; . Will the time ever come when we go to the. postofflce and buy a pound of steak? Boston Globe. can ; It Ii .poBBlble that the allies will have enough captured iron crosses soon to make their use as shrapnel worth considering. ,:.. rr - !-;--:;-: German grand headquarters has a long list of reasons why a further evacuation of territory may be de sirable.-' One is that they may have to get out, and the others do not matter.' Detween crown princes, Prussian ana Bavarian, Foch has created a new bond of fellowship. "The ene my has evaded" both of them by de cisively defeating first one and then the other. brations be allowed to be exported In neutral countries!" It is not given to sane persons to answer the question. However, to use an Americanism that baffles our inenas across me Atlantic, we should worry! JAPAN TIIIXKM 1 M r r Kit K.M lu a SOW. A Japanese business man speaks for bis country in the New Republic: "We. fcelieved at the beginning of the war that it was can sea mainiy by the imperialistic tendencies of the European nations. Therefore we failed to enterain any righteous in dignation toward either side. We fought Germany for two definite reasons to get rid of the German base of opetations in the Far East, and to make good our part or me compact in the Anglo-Japanese alli ance. We were not, however, and not now, interested In such an enterprise as changing the form of the Internal government of Ger many. "The entry of the United States into the war has helped to open our ... t i -eyes to the aeeper issues muneu in the struggle. The United States is fighting for great ideals. She has declared through the president of the nation that she desires neither territory nor indemnity. Billions of dollars and millions of her best men are offered for the supreme test. True democracy develops a heroism of its own, and many of us who are here appreciate fully what is now taking place in' this country. The United States now commands the admiration of the entire Japanese nation, and I dare say this is the best guarantee for friendship be tween the two nations." general traveling on his own rail roads can find many things to im prove. S V With the government In charge of the telegraph lines will messages be delivered by fast freight or by mes senger boy? Exchange. Emperor William has dispatched a mental exDert to Naubelm to niin- later to King Ferdinand of Bulgaria. Too late by three years. It will be Just like those apparent ly tireless allies to take up the cor rection of the Hindenburg line where It is out of drawing. Which is any where in France. S A short stop in the allies advance in Plcardy gives the average leader of war moves time to catch up with his lessons in pronunciation of the French proper names. I A SOCIAL vAvr i By Mini EI, CRA5T. M HEROES ALL. An interesting little problem in percentage and profiteering would be In figuring out how many per cent the fruit' commission merchant and the grocery or banana vender make on a bunch of 210 bananas which can be delivered in New York for 35 cents a bunch and . which are then 'old by; the cheaper peddlers at two for 5 cents' or one for 5 cents. -New York WorM. And the list Is a long and lengthening one. When it comes to tagging Ameri cans yon are apt to uncover a hero wherever you take off a hat. One would hardly expect great things from Aloysius Lucius Lamar Lyle, a pale young man who was serving in the dental corps. Yet fate threw him Into view, of some front-line fighting and when he saw a wounded American bleeding to death in the open he went calmly forth amid a perfect hurricane of shot and shell. Still under fire he took time to band age . ani stanch the f ow of blood so that the soldier could be moved and then, exerting his full strength, he dragged the man back wtihin the lines and to comparative safety. Then he found that his shin had been nicked by a German sniper, but noth ing much else had happened to him. Aloysius Lucius Lamar Lyle was quite well and incidentally was a hero; for in the making of heroes there is nothing more beautiful than the rescuing of a comrade from the crimson field of death. He had quite passed the handicap of his name. WORK FOR OUR SOLDIERS. Various associations throughout the country are passing resolutions favoring the apportionment of pub lic land to returning sailors and sol diers after the war. On the face of it, it sounds like a good Idea. There is enough land lying Idle in the United States to feed millions of peo pie Improperly watered, drained and cultivated. Allowing for the stand Ing army which will doubtless be sustained In America for some time after . the war, at leaf t until the League of Nations shall have been consummated and placed on a prac tical basis, there will be soldiers and sa'ilors enough left to till mil lions of acres of land every year. The lessons in thrift and economy which America is learning will not be forgotten when the new human ity, baptized in blood and tears, shall start upon its onward march once more. After the red fires of war are quenched there will still be work to do; there will be millions of mouths to feed In other countries than Amer ica, and the people of this favored land will not "lie down at their ease when the sacred cause of liberty shall have been vindicated; but all the more earnestly will they nut 1 their shoulders to the wheel of pro gress, "livlngjto make men happy" as so many bf their comrades are now "dying to make men free." There is not a country on earth that will not rind itself better, freer and happier for the great struggle, and not a branch of science. Indus try, learning or true religion that will not have been Increased Jn po tency from the refining fire through which it now Is pass'ng. Perhaos the two Industries that will nroflt most will be shipping and agricul ture. With land for all who would labor thereon and with the seas free to all who would engage in the transportation of the products of one country to another there is no rea son why America v should not con tinue to be the leading nation oFthe earth In wealth. In trade and in her beneficent Influence upon the rest of the world. OH, A FALLEN FLY. BITS FOR BREAKFAST I SUBTLE IIIXDEXBURG. The German editor of the Gazette de Lorraine has let the cat out of the bag. American troops are in France because of a prearranged 'plan of Hindenburg, who has per mitted American troopships to cross the Atlantic unmolested in order that he may cut them off later by subma rines and starve out the Americans In France. The cutting oft process Is to ct.me "after the Americans have suffered their first severe military defeat.

The "human fly," who traveled about giving exhibitions of his skill in scaling the loftiest buildings with no other aids' than his toe nails and fins, has fallen to his death. He tumbled from the walls of the court house at Joliet, III., and died a few moments after being, picked up, bruised and crushed. He had offer ed himself for war service and was giving exhibitions for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. fund. Preparatory to his public appearances It was his custom to put up signs Indicating his route "over , the top." These would be lettered New York, Parts, the Maine and so on to Berlin, which would be well up to the roof. It was, while putting the. Berlin pla card in place that lie made a careless movement, lost his balance and plunged to his doom. ; Yet the omen concerned only himself. He was destined never to reach Berlin, as likewise are many . others enlisted for the great crusade. Yet the ad- The French hit them again. m S lilt them hard, and took 8000 prisoners.

The only proper standard for the Hun armies in France is the craw fish. V There are tremendous Issues be ing fought out In Mesopotamia; In Palestine; in Macedonia; on the Ital ian front; on the Murman coast; in Aiancnurta ana Siberia and around the Caspian sea: But the really big things are being pulled off on the western front, and Berlin feels the defeats there more than In any oth er quarter. They mean Inevitably the fall of Berlin, if peace does not come before the grand debacle that is being prepared by the hard knocks of the victorious hosts of democracy.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE , CHAPTER LXII What Dicky Slid About Madge's "In convenient Engagement It Is not often that I have what omen call a rood crv". llut when I remembered that my engage ment to meet Mrs. Smith was tbe same day that Dicky had planned such a delightful Jaunt to tbe coun try, I shed angry tears. Now he had cone for some clears. and when he returned I must spoil all his pleasure. Knowlnr Dlckv'a xnloslve temoer and his persistence when he had set nis heart upon anything. I dreaded his return and the moment when I must tell him that I could not rt. and worst of all my reason for not going. I knew that he would consi der It no reason at all. disapproving aa he did of the whole affair of the history clasa leadership which Mrs smun wisned to discuss with me. He noticed my red eves and woe begone face the moment he came I with tbe cigars. What's the matter now? he queried. Ills tone sounded a trifle Impatient. "I thought I had chased away, all your bluea. and that yo were refjy ror a good time tomorrow." "Thafa the trouble. Dlckv. I cant go tomorrow. "Can't go tomorrow! What do von mean 7 " -Why. when you were talk Ins- about your plans. I forcot that I had made an engagement to meet Mrs- smith at 3 o clock tomorrow afternoon. "Who In thunder Is Mrs. Smith? "Mrs Helen Ilralnerd Smith." I ei plalned painstakingly, "the secretary of the Lotus Sunday Club, the woman who wants me to take the leadership or the club's history class. "I knew It." he said, raising hi hand high above his head, a way he had when angry. "I knew If you be gan that stunt of going out washlna for pin money there'd be something like this every time we planned any pleasure trip together. "Going out washing!" I exclaimed "What on earth do you mean?" "I'd like to know what ele It is. he returned aardonlcally. The lanltor's wife goes .to the homes of these clubwomen and washes their clothes. My wife ros to their club. ana launders their bralna with a course of lectures In history. What dirre.nee does It mean? You both are earning money to help your hus-b-.nds ouL And the time of neither of you Is your own. Ton both are at the beck and call of other women A nice state of affairs lor me. I must ay." "You know you are saying what untrue. Dicky." I said patiently I explained to you fully when we dis cussed this that I was not trying to add to your Income. You have more than enough for our every wish, nut I felt that if I accepted your wish and kept a maid for the housework I most earn the equivalent of th extra expense In some way. I do nof want to be a parasite wtf nirtr. ares on that subject." Dicky's tone cut like a knife. "I told yoa one that I would give la to you about this, and 1 am going to keen mr word. Hut why la creation can't ro telephone this woman and tell her you wll have to change the day of your engagement to meet. her?" "Oh. Dicky. I couldn't do that It Is a business engagement. Yoa ought to know I couldn't change that appointment only for the gray est of reasons.' "Fiddlesticks. IH bet shell change It fast enough If she happens to think or any little thing Ilk get ting her hair dressed or iter sails manicured, that she wants to do. "How absurd! Mrs. Smith Is well-known club woman. I have heard of her trequently. She Is woman or poise and experience.' I wouldn't have her think I would change an appointment lightly for anything. She would be Justified thinking I might not always! keep mp appointmenta with the history class. . ; -mat wouldn't grieve me any. Dicky muttered. "See here. ! rot If- 111 ca.ll this precious Smithy . though the Lord knows I hate to d It. and tell her you're sick. Yoa are too. sick of having to keep that ap oplntment. I know yoa."
