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. ; . '

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."

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.

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

It was only a matter of time. 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

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

A nice state of affairs lor me. I must

"You know you are saying what

I explained to you fully when we dis
cussed this that I was not trying to

I felt that if I accepted your wish
and kept a maid for the housework

cut like a knife. "I told yoa one
that I would give la to you about
this, and 1 am going to keen mr

you wll have to change the day of

"Oh. Dicky. I couldn't do that

"Fiddlesticks. IH bet shell

"How absurd! Mrs. Smith Is

wouldn't have her think I would
