Thoro hi no confirmation of the Pallv flail's report that tho French have encased the Cermans and cut oft tholr rclreat, Infllctlnt: a loss of 8000 men. Tho Iieiglaus claim that tney havo taken S00O prisoners on Belgian rail, bat military mou regard all the estimates of tho belligerents as great exaggerations. Apart from Liege tho fighting of tho first week, when rctolved to tho proper perspective, eventually, doubt less, will be considered inslgulftcant. German rorymtlon Weak Ono of tho most important dovelpp ments in tho eyes of experts, is tho general testimony that tho German Infantry formation Is obsolete and In effective against weapons of today, and means an enormous slaughter if retained. Prance and Austria finally official ly are at war, tho ambassadors having left tho respective capitals. The French government broko off diplo matic relations with Austria on lh? grounds that Austrian troops wcro reinforcing tho Germans. Austria appears to have abandoned the advance on Scrvia for a time and apparently Is co-operating with Ger many In the supposed strategy of at tempting to crush Franco beforo Russia can mobilize. Financial conditions In England aro returning to normal although there is a great dislocation In many trades. Tho prices of foodstuffs have risen only slightly. Austria mill France Ureal; Diplomatic relations between Franco and Austria liavo been broken and tho embassadors havo left tho capital. Tho French foreign office in a statement says the initlatlro was tajtcn by Franco becauso Austrian troops wero aiding tho Germans. Tho French aro advancing In Alsace-Lorraine, but against what op position is not known. The Gormans occupy (ho city of Llcgo, whilo tho Belgians hold tho forts.

The North sea Is again closed to t)io fishing fleets, which is regarded an significant in view of tho fact that there aro largo British and German fleets In that water. Tlio German cruiser Karlsruhe, which arrived nt San Juan, Porto llico, reported nn engagement Friday Jilght off Bahamas with four British and French cruisers. Tho. French government forbids the publication of tho French casualties list, so that Germans may nut knot? tho movement of tho French troops.

Feudalism was an outgrowth of tho invasion of the civ ilized Koiuan world by the barbarian hordes of the north and east. "Medieval soeietv needed protection protec tion from the raids of robber discontented peasantry, from bands of pillaging outlaws. The great landowner formed his estate into a territory he could defend. His smaller neighboi-s came to hint for pro tection, and swore fealty to him in return, becoming in some form or other dependents. The baron, in return for services rendered tho king, secured immunity and power over his district and performed in it the functions of the state. Changes in conditions and the centralization of gov ernment enabled society to free itself to a large extent from the dependence upon the baron. The general gov ernment resumed the functions he had performed during the middle ages, but as feudalism disappeared its customs crystallized into forms that exist even todav. Feudal laws still hamper the growth of tocracies lead useless parasitical existence, while the potty tyranny practiced by the baron is now practiced on a larger scale by the monarch. The baron, in exchange for protection, demanded trib ute, fealty and service when necessary. Koyalty does the same and abuses the power, as in Europe todav, bv enforc ing needless sacrifice of life and property to gratify per sonal ambition. The citizen of twentieth' eenturv Europe is no safer than the citizen of the dark ages. Life, liberty and pursuit of happiness are all subject to forfeiture upon the whim of a titled freak. The average German citizen has to spend a large part of his life in military training. Every Herman is liable to service, and no substitutoii allowed. Liability begins at seventeen and actual service at twenty. The men servo in the active army and army reserve for seven years, of which two years (three in the case of cavalry aiid horse artillery) are spent with the colors. During his four or five years in the reserve, (he soldier is called out for train ing twice for a maximum of eight weeks. After leaving the reserve, the soldier is drafted into the fhxt ban of the Landwohr for five years more, for two trainings of from 8 to 14 days a year. Thence he passes into the second ban and remains in it until -10 years old, that is from G to 7 years more, the complete period of his service being 19 years, junauy an soldiers are in tlie lirst Dan ot winch they remain until ly. Tho second ban consists of untrained men between :J.O and -15. Young men who reach a certain standard of education are only obliged to serve one year in the active army, but must de fray their own expenses and are chief source of supply forrcsorves. It is a fearful price to pay for citizenship. tTnder the German Constitution, the emperor is really supremo ju loreign relations, .lie. is given power to declare war, butonly in case of invasion or for defense. ITciice "Williolnfs repeated assertions that he is actinir onlv on the defensive in plunging Europe into a conflagration an assertion belied by his every movement. There is every indication that the entire German nnttnn has been made an army camp, the nuvv created, and the .German army incre;used in 1912, and 'the huge militarv burdens forced upon Europe to gratifv the ambitions of ll!11.1 1.. 1.

As Frederick began the seven year war bv the sud den and unjustifiable seizure of Silesia, so AVilhelm plan ned the rape of Uelgium to give Germany a seaboard. How does the German Emperor differ from the robber baron of medieval times? WHIielm's throne is threatened, as is every throne in Europe, by the onward march of denioc.raev. As education enlightens the multitude, thrones built upon suporstiti and the past, crumble. The rise of Socialism threatc ancient institutions. The Socialists have it in their power to stop the present war, if they desire it and as there is no real cause for a war, more than likely it will be so stopped before it has progressed far. Yhy should the German factorv hand shoot down his brother workman who happens to work in Paris? Or why the Russian peasant slay the Austrian farmer, sim ply because some crowned head is egotistical enough to order the slaughter of thousands to satisfv a personal ambition? The world is ready for the new political savior, pre dicted by Tolstoi before his death ton years ago, in the following remarkable prephecy: Tho great conflagration (war) will start about 1012, act by tho first torch In tho countries of Southeastern Europe.
