sent byKIng Alexander to rreinlcr

"I am following with the utmost In

restoration of tbe unity of tlio coun
try. Ah for noself, remaining the
faithful guardian of the constitution

Intentions of the powers. I am willing

A POISONED PEOPLE.
npODAY'S dispatches tell
under lour years ot age, victims ot the latest German
air raid upon London.
Another official dispatch relates the bombardment and
sinking of lifeboats by gun fire from a German submarine
that had successfully torpedoed and sunk a steamer.
A third cable describes
Jjclgians by Germans into slavery, where they are com
pelled to toil 32 hours a day in the danger zone, illy clad
and half fed, succumbing shortly to exhaustion and dis
ease. A fourth dispatch quotes a letter written by the Queen
of liiiniania, telling of the death of her child, infected by
disease? germs contained in the candv dropped among chil
dren by German airships in
demic.
The slaughter of women
innocent non-combatants, the
ors, till without military advantage, and the enslavement
of a conquered people are but a few of the counts atraiust
the barbarians who have violated every law of God and
man in crazed lust for power.
How came Germany to run amuck, not like a mad dog
loaniing at the mould, not with the red lury ot rabies, but
with the cool cunning and clever lunacy ot a poisoned
brain? Jlow came an entire nation insane?
The answer is found in the deliberate propaganda inau
gurated by Bismarck of perverting by education the ideals
of a nation, of destroying democracy and upbuilding autoc-
racy, of substituting might for
tice, lor two generations Germany has received ideas
from thinkers and philosophers who have extolled the
blood and iron olicy and deprecated humanity, and bar
barized the national mind. Here is German Kultur as
formulated by German thinkers:
"Not only must the state be olieyed, it must be venerat
ed as a God. Success insured bv might is the measure of
right." -Hegel.
"Weak nations have no right to existence, and must be
absorbed by powerful nations. The essimce of the state is
power. Nothing exists or can exist which is superior to
the state. " Trieschke.
"The state can do no wrong. The observance of trea
ties is not a matter of duty but of advantage." Adolphus
Lassen. , .
"Love God above all things and thy neighbor as thyself.
This law can claim no significance for the relations of one
country to another. There never has been and never will
be universal rights of men." Bemhardi.
"Morality is a symptom of decadence. War b as neces
sary to the state as slavery is to society. Might is the
source of right. There is no right other than that of theft,
usurpation and violence. Nietzsche. .v . - . . :
"Militarism is the indispensable instrument of German
culture, it builds its brightest hopes of supremacy on the
extermination of others." Houston Chamberlain, rene
gade Englishman and naturalized German. . , ... '
No one outside a rienitentiary or a lunatic i asylum
many we have an entire nation
tice them we. have gallows and electric chairs, yet in Ger
many we have an entire nation nt only preaching but prac
ticing them and the result is a world wide war, which
can end only in the triumph of the maniacs or their utter
defeat, so that the world will again be sane and safe for
humanity.
An Open Letter
HY I)R J. LAWUKNt'K HILL.
As an official member of the Med
ford chapter of the lcd Cross I feel
it to be my duty to defend the splen-
fid women of the same against the
'owardly, base, uugentlemunly and
'oiitcmptihle attack of Lawyer W. K.
I'hipps at u recent meeting of tho
school hoard.
1 feel confident that the women who
are so generously, unselfishly, heart
ily and in true American spirit, giving
their lime and means mid efforts
ihrcc or four limes a week to the
work of Ihe Wed Cross, anil in
strict and loval obedience to l'resi-
Icnt Wilson, would he just ns ready
ind willing to labor in orchards lliiu-
ning fruit trees, as suggested by the
ibove gentleman, a discredit to the
City of Medford and n flv in the
intiiieiit of the school board, if they
oubl belter serve the nation, and
meet the needs ol the buys who will
soon be giving their lives for the pro
lection of our honics, the institution
we love and the flag we revere.
The work they are now doing could
not he done by men, so it is cowardly
and pio-(lernian lo attack them the
way he has done. What could the
nation do at such a time as this
without ,,iieh women scattered thniout
the length and lircadlli of lhce I'nit-
1 Stales f What would our armies
ind navy do without their labor of
love in the presence of u wnr which
threatens our own laud, and which
made possible by such inn idoc-
imd slur and cowardice of inli men-'
We would like to know what he has
uilribiite.l towards meeting the
ciK of our government whose appeal
has been sent to all, and who de
mands f al) loyal American., that
they do their bit. and lo ,lo ,1
if women of the Ifnl Cross are do
igf What a slur msoi Ihe honesty of
lose who have the Woik of the Ked
Cross la eharce to ask: "How do
we know where the money eoc-i th.it
s hung collected tor the lied Cross
llmiollt the l ulled Stale.." i I,,.
not certain mid uncs-iion the hon.
estv of these men I would refer him
to Washington, i, ('.; and to nsl; our
rcpru.scnUti!i there to furnish him
of the funeral of sixteen babies
the enforced deportation of
the hope of skirting an epi
and children, the murder of
butchery of helpless surviv
right and the sword for jus
not only preaching but prac
to Lawyer Phipps
with the needed information, but 1
am iifraid that even when he is told
that a faithful record is kept of nil
money sent in to the hcudiiurtci-s of
tho lied Cross Hint he would stil! be
skeptical, and still be a bone of con
tention in our midst and a splendid
rcpresenlntive of tho one man in Eu
rope who today is hated, feared und
cursed ns no man in history ha.s
been.
Then, further, he asks: "Tho wnr
may hist only three months n ltd then
who knows hut it might happen that
the most of that million dollar fund
may be used by persons high in the
lied Cross to take it jaunt to Kuroe
to have a look nt tbe battlefields? "
Such n statement from a man
whose office should have constrained
him from uttering such a ilnmuable
insinuation stamps him as unworthy
of I lie confidence and respect of the
citizens of Medford, and something
should be done to make vacant his
place on the school hoard.
Those in charge of the lied Cross
w ork in Washington are men of limit -less
wealth, men who have the eon
fidence of the nution anil the endorse
ment of President Wilson, and who
n iv giving their time without salary
to help give the cup of cold wi'.ler
to, and bind up Ihe wounds of the
suffering hoys on foreign battlefields,
lo contribute to their keep while eou
valcseimr, niul to take cure of their

families while they are fighting our
battles, and to make it possible for
liiiwycr I'hipps and his ilk, and he
bus quite a following in Metlloni, and
thruout the nation, to live in peace
and to give protection to his family
against lust, plunder und suffering
and sliuine untold. His place is among
those whom an indignant and wronged
nution has justly interned during the
war, and who after it bhould be de
prived of citizenship.
If such men nR lie represents were
in charge of the funds of the lied
Cross society then it might be pos
sible for us to ask what would become
of the sumo, and we would not have
to look far for an unswer. Such
question, such insults, such attacks
that he has made upon the best women
in Medford the best men and women
ill the land, nre unpatriotic and snvors
more of kniserism than of one who
boasts of his American citizenship,
but who evidently judges nil men by
his own small and unmanly standard
I am glad that wo have those on
our school board who will denounce
anil expose such statements, such
men, and defend at all hazards those
who are doing1 their utmost, ns the
women of, the Red Cross chapter of
Jieilford are doing; to save their conn
try from the awful scourge which hns
swept over Europe, and which has
been encouraged by such men ns Law
yer I'hipps, if our local papers give
a correct account of his remarks nt
the school bonrd last evening.
In all the yenrs that I have been a
writer for newspapers and mngnzinos
1 have never expressed myself u
his way, but the circumstances war
rant it, and T have no apology to
mill"", : ii will say things still strong
er things should he or any other per
son question or attack some of the
grandest women in Medford, and men
and women of whom all true and loyal
American citizens nre justly proud.
