The
musical
numbers were
beautifully rendered by an orchestra
which made its first appearance on
this occasion.
Dr. Joseph Schafer, head of the
Department of History at the state
university, gave the address of the
evening, choosing for his subject
“What's Wrong witli tlie World.”. In
this lie traced the development in
Germany and the practical appli
cation on the part of her rulers of
the cynical principles of government
first worked out by Machiavelli in
the latter part of the fifteenth cent
ury in Ills book called "The Prince."
With
the establishment
and
growth of democracy in America and
Europe, the world began to hope that
old ideas had been superseded and
that they might hope to make an end
to war. But with the effort to put
this hope into practical effect by
means of the peace conclave at the
Hague, it was found that one n.odern
nation. Germany, blocked the way.
But it was not until the present war
that they realized how little Germany
had changed, that she had not aban-
dotied old Ideals of conquest, but
that through the practice of Bismark
with
his "blood and iron” and
through the teachings of Treitschke,
she had been giving evidence of her
real acceptance of the theory of
Machiavelli, until now we see the full
fruition in her campaign of fright
fulness,” in her placing the state
above all the principles of honor.
With a power which does not
recognize as binding her own
sacredly pledged word, which bra
zenly admits that nothing matters
except her own advancement, a
civilized world can make no peace.
Therefore the world must first save
itself from Germany as from a
maddened beast, and then bring
about a reorganization so that no
similar crime can again be attempted.
That can be done only when the
principle is universally accepted that
the state, like the individual, has
obligations as well as power. This
will be only after the defeat of the
present Germany, for only thus can
her people be taught the fallacy upon
which their system rests

dress. Mr J H Jones, chairman of
the Beard of education, with a few
appropriate words of commendation,

Coos County Boys

—Are Immediately Transferreb—
Howe and Gates go East.
A letter from Jas. H. Howe, who is
at Ft. McDowell, Cal., brings the in
formation that the Coos county boys
who went to Ft. McDowell early In
June, are now stationed at the Presi
dio in San Francisco. Their address
is "Private
3rd Company.
Presidio, San Francisco. Cal.” He
intimated that they would not he
there long but that a letter written
immediately would reach them there
Mr. Howe and Mr. Gates, formerly
local High school instructor, are
still at McDowell, having been
assigned to the work of making out
reports, etc., for a short time. They
have applied for chemistry work, and
will be sent east soon as chemical
workers.
Ft. McDowell is not a training
camp but simply a receiving station,
from which the men. after a few days
quarantine
and
vaccination, are
transferred to the Presidio, Camp
Fremont or Camp Kearney. It is
located on Angel Island.
Little Boy Dies.
Laurence Alexander, the seven-
year- old son of Mr. and Mrs. P. P.
Dietz of Bandon, died at the family
home Sunday morning of stomach
trouble. While he had been a suffer
er of the same trouble during the
summer months for several years,
the immediate attack which caused
Ills death came on about four days
previous. The funeral services were
conducted by Father Jos P. Clancy
and burial took place at the Catholic
cemetery. The deceased was born
at Riverton. July Sth. 1911. He had
lust completed his first term at
school.
AN EXPLANATION.
Western World is called upon once
more to explain its failure to publish
the balance of the names on the list
of Red Cross subscribers. This paper
was unfortunate in having stated
that It would do this before it was
certain that the names would be
available. We printed one consign
ment and have since waited for the
committee to furnish us with the rest
of the names. The committee has
been too busy to get these names
out, as it had only a limited time to
check up all the receipt books and
make returns to headquarters, and
the work had to be done in the spare
moments. Now that this work is
done It is discovered that the receipt
books from which the first consign
ment of names was taken for pub
lication have been mixed up with
•he rest of the books and nobody
knows which Is which. In order to
vave further confucton it has been
decided to either print no more
names or to print the whole list over
again However Western World will
make no more promises. If the entire
tist is furnished us for publication in
time for next issue it will appear in
'heae columns, otherwise the matter
will rest as it is. The fault lies
Mrs H. M Tucker and Miss Bertha with the fact that the committee in
Nelson have gone to Portland for a charge of the Red Cross drive ha-
