We have put unprecedented pow ers in the hands of the government and the public rests easy because it knows that any administration which abuses these great powers can be called to swift and effective account ing. It know?, too, that when the immediate urgency is past the old sys tem can be quickly restored if it then seems desirable to restore it The railroad operators and direct ors and stockholders are not worry ing any more about it than the gen eral public. In :Vt. they seem pleased with the new situation. Their bigurst troubles have been unloaded on Uncle Sam. the giant who, though he blunders more or le. has a re markable aptitude for blundering in the rhht direction, and who h u enough vitality and common sense to set all his er-ors ripM sooner or later. THE DANGER TO OUR GERMANS Judtfe J. C. Rupptnthal of Russt!l, Mo., wjio describes himself as a pure blooded German, all of whose an cestors for many generation h;.ve been born in Germany and lived in Germany, look at the German-American situation from a new and inter esting angle. G:ving advice tr his fellow German-Americans, he, says: "I would rather nnt take chances for myself ar.I my children as Amer icans on any treatment Germany might accord tis if it were ever able to dictate terms of peace in or to the United States. Tn that day it will be better to be of any other blond than German. For of all Americans, T fancy, the 'Ainerican of German ancestry in the moM cordially hated by the militarists of Germany. It behooves all American; of German ancestry to be especially zealous for our nation, for they .have most to lose." Judge Ruprntbal probably ba good reason for this view. It is well known thrt the Germans who came, to America were generally re garded in the Fatherland, before the w-ar, as a sort of renegade. The Kaiser was notoriously scornful of them. It was hard -for the Americans i question to appreciate thi fart: ft is hard for them now: but accord ing fn some of the most enlightened of tlhcir own. racial group, the best thing fi. tfwm to. do is to face the facts. v Their own relatives and friends, the nverago Germans back in the Fa-, thcrland, do not hate them. Rut the militarists who control the army and the government do hate them.
