EM-TEES
;Y r GERMANY, .WEAKENING i i ; ,'i
AR-"W"KARTNFSS, hioiRer, cinulation of Russian
revolutionaries all these tilings are perhaps in
volved in the first big crack in the German military and
naval machine.
It is intensely interest inff news. Tt shows the iron dis
cipline is breaking down. It shows men are bej;inniiiir to
dare to rebel. And, singularly enough, these first outbreaks
occurred not among those who have endured the terrors
of trench fighting, but among sailors idle at Wilhelnis
haven, the submarine crews at Ostend and the Austrian
naval forces at Paola.
Tlx; mutinous conditions apparent must exist, even if
m milder lorrn, elsewhere. It sounds very like the Russian
revolution.
The fact that while savage reprisals were ordered by
the kaiser, the chancellor did not dare obey his royal mas
ter, testifies to the dangerous mood of the men, and per-
naps ot tiie nation.
Probably the main cause of the revolts was the sub
marine warfare. Not that the Prussians were shocked bv
its inhumanity, but they rebelled against the increased
danger to themselves. In the early U-boat days it was
not hard to get volunteer crews. The higher rates of nay
and the prospect of prize awards and honors and decora
tions were alluring.
But by and by something happened which made the
German sailor do some serious thinking. The number of
submarines which did not return to port and whose fate
remained unknown began to increase. And since Ameri
can destroyers have been on the job, this number has been
mounting rapidly.
The German sailor, therefore, has lost his stomach for
the job. 1 le may be willing enough to fight in a big battle
where he has about even chances with the enemy, but he
is not keen tor tins thing ot being drowned like a rat in a
tub. It all came to a head in the recent mutinies.
The satisfactory point to the allies is that such news
cannot be suppressed by the authorities. By now every
German sailor knows what has happened, lie knows some
of his comrades were shot, and others sentenced to long
terms in prison. JNot even the naval ottensive against the
helpless Russians, designed to restore naval morale, will
accomplish it.
Repression does not improve morale. It hurts it. It
does not suppress feelings of revolt. It spreads dissatis
faction. German warship commanders are not now in a
comfortable position. There will always be in the back of
their minds the lurking fear that in a pinch the crews may
suddenly go back on them.

Hut the cruol eclB of Germany did
not stop thoro. Wlillo protesting
friendship for us by rallijig upon
President Wilson to use his gooi of-flt-cs
to bring about penco, while oui
prosldent waH using his masterful re
sources and his great intellect, while
invoking the power and the judgment
of the president of this nation In fa
vor of peaco, Oormnny, with the in
toution of violating her agreement
for a temporary abandonment of
nillileas Kulinuirlno wurTare. before
seeking a rupture with the. Untied
States w-ns planning for an Invasion
of tho United States by Mexico and
Japan, and actually oftored to give
to Mexico thoso sovereign statos, Ari
zonu, Nuw Mexico, and Texas, and to
.In pun the rich domain of the Pacific
const states was to be parceled out.
Now, the kaiser and the senator
from Wisconsin talk about WLr.u.i
no war on conquest, wanting a guar
anty from tho United States and our
allies that whatever the result wo
will neither profit by nor reipilro
(lermany to mnko recompense, and
at the samo timo would leavo (ler
mnny to enjoy tho fruits of victory
IT she can retain them. That may be
free speeeli. A senator can say It, a
fool ran utter It, but It Is not patriot
ic. Americanism!
If there ever was a holy war, this
li one. Every wrong and outrage that
human Ingenuity can conceive, (ler
many sought to perpetrate on the
United States, and ttie longer wo wait
ed to resent In the hope that peace
mlKlit tie maintained, the greater was
the outrage perpetrated.
Wo realizo that unless wo recog
nized a stato of war which sho bad
forced upon us nearly threo years
ami and unless wo did our best to
aid I lie allies In defeating Germnny,
wben peace bad como to Kurope,
when the allies h.nl settled back to
tln-lr normal activities, Germany, car
ring out her plans conceived before
the war began, would have demanded
tribute from this government, and
thou on mertcan soil wo would have
hud a conflict which would have ex
celled lu Its bitterness nnd barbarism
an tiling that human history records.
Tho senator from Wisconsin bus
on other occasions bud a great deal
to say against pending American sol
diers to I'lanee. Sir, It Is better for
the Auieiican arinv to go to Prance
and flulit there than for us to wait
until tho war Is over nnd invite Ger
many lo atack us here at home. Let
htm w ho doubts tills declaration look
for n moment on bleeding lielslum
and presume Poland, l.et him think
of tho homes that huvo been laid In
ashes: of the beautiful structures do
voted to religion and nri that have
fallen. In ruins. l.et him think of
the women who have been outraged,
of the, boy whoso huuj liitvo been
cut oft that they might never become
warrirfrs. Let him think of the men
women nnd children who have been
deported from Belgium into condi
tions of servitude worse than slavery.
If men can find It In their hearts, let
them declare that tho United States
ought to wait until the war is over
in Kuropo and then alone fight Ger
many here. But the moment they
mnko, that declaration in exercising
the "right ot free speech,' let them
move and movo hastily Into German
territory.
Mr. President, a part ot tho propa
ganda that has been going on In this
country has clustered around the dec
laration that tho munition makers
made the war. it Is found In tho
speech of tho senator from Wiscon
sin as reported at St. Paul. It has
been heard hero on the floor of the
United States senate. Thore never
was a sillier or falser statement. Tho
munition makers had nothing to do
with bringing on this war, and any
man who makes that statement dis
closes his Ignorance or his indiffer
ence to the truth.
Mr. President, tho senator from
Wisconsin has treated tho Lusltnnla
Incident as the sole cnuse of this wnr.
That conclusion Is Irresistible It the
only report which Is avallablo for
1110 of his speech nl St. Paul Is re
liable. I, of course, can not pass
upon the reliability of that document,
but be Is quoted as Justifying the
sinking of the Lusit.mla in bold lan
guage. This to me is incompre
hensible. The m-st 1 iii-lion of (bo Liisltallhl.
Warfare, when conducted In ac
cordance with the law of nations. Is
cruel and destructive. Hut German
warfare Is tho epitome of the barbar
ism. What language can appropriate
ly rharucterlio tho dellhorato de
struction of a great passenger ship
nnd the sacrlfico of l .".on non-cotnhat-
ant passengers? Tho Lusltnnla Inci
dent turned the tide of human sym
pathy thruout tlio civilized world
against the German government. One
tbousund flvo hundred non-combatant
passengers, Including U'a Ameri
can men, women nnd children, en
titled by the law of God nnd man to
tho protection of tho nation, delib
erately murdered without show of
ptty. Heboid the wreck of tho ma
jestic steamer far out nt sea nnd
listen to tho cries of the dying ming
ling witli the roar of tho waves and
tho crash of tho wreck! Look upon
the pallid faces of helpless mothers
hugging to their breasts t'.ielr Inno
cent babes and going to their ocean
graves unkuelled, uncoffiued and un
sung! I have no argument that can
apeal to my mind which for a mo
ment justifies such cowardly brutal
ity. I will not waste any time In ap
pealing for sympathy to one whose
conscience can approve such outrage.
I will not argue that the destruction
of the Lusiianla was an outrage upon
civilization. If anyone here Is In
doubt upon that point he Is a fit
companion for the lustful Turk and
the bloody Teuton and is unworthy
of the naino "American."
I wish to place In the Record a list
of American ships fired upon or tor
pedoed In everlasting refutation of
the strangely foolish statement lm
puted to the senator from Wisconsin
that the United States went to war
solely and principally on the demand
of citizens for the right to ride on
munition-laden vesse:s. I want to
point him to the outrages perpetrated
upon our citizens upon the seas and
the cowardly Injustice and treachery
Germany perpetrated In carrying on
her system of spies and hirelings, In
seeking to Incite insurrection among
the negroes of the south, in trying
to stimulate Mexico and Japan to
make war upon this gevernment and
promising as a result rich profits In
the way of conquest. I want him to
remember this statement. He can
talk from now until judgment day If
ho wants to, but lqt him answer in
bis own conscience and In the exer
cise of "free speech'' why he said the
United States went to war ut the in
stance ot the munition makers to
vindicate tho right of venturesome
citizens to travel on ships carrying
munitions. When he mado that dec
laration out in St. Paul, if he did
make it, what was his purpose? What
was his motive behind It Men have
tho right of free speech, but It Is the
right to speak tho truth, and, as sug
gested to me by the senator from
Missouri, Mr. Iteed, to the right of
free speech Is attached the responsi
bility of truthfulness.
Mr. President, it Is impossible in a
brief address to marshal all tho
wrongs which Germany has sought to
impose on this country. If there ever
was a just cause for war, Germany
gave the United States such a cause.
A man who will not fight when his
flag is repeatedly fired upon and his
right to be secure on American terri
tory is questioned, man who would
not fight to redress the wrongs which
Germany inflicted upon the citizens
of the United States when she sought
to incite the colored population to
insurrection and Japan and Mexico to
Invasion, a man who would not fight
then would not fight even if an ene
my invaded ills home and ravished
his daughter in his presence.

AMSTERDAM', Oct. in. Count
von Hcrnstorl't' did not know liolo
Pashii, the Frenchman, held us ft spy
in France, according to the Tageblntt.
The newspaper says:
"In connection w ith the Bolo Pnslia
episode and the disclosures of Sec
retary Lansing eoncerninpr the part
alleged to have been played by Am
bassador von Hernstorff and Former
Secretary von Jagow, we are inform
ed by n competent source that the
personality of Bolo Pasha was not
known to Von Bernstorff in Washing
ton, innsmueli as the ambassador did
not have recourse to sources in the
United Statos which might have been
nt the disposal of officiul quarters
here. It is also established that the
name of Bolo Pasha was never made
known to Von Bernstorff nnd his
banker intermediuries did not men
tion him. Consequently the passage
in the alleged telegram published by
Secretary Lansing in which Von
Jagow asked Von Bernstorff: 'What
is new about Bolo,' is false.
"This warrants the obvious deduc
tion regarding the trustworthiness of
other details in this telegram."
Teaglisehe Rnndesehnii snys the
mention of Bolo's name in the Von
Jagow dispatch is "another forgery
of Secretary Lansing's for transpur
ent purposes."
In the New York inquiry into the
Bolo affair it was learned Hint Bolo
had an accomplice in Switzerland
thru whom he had learned the terms
on which Germany would conclude
peace with Franco. Bolo Pasha is
said to have received more than
$1,700,000 from Von Bernstorff to
aid in carrying out his plot.

WASHINGTON", Oct. 19. The his
toric seniority rule for army promo
tions was formerly set aside today to
govern promotions in the national
army and national guard.
Officers of either the regulars, the
guard or the national nnny nre held
to be based solely on demonstrated
fitness without regard to seniority.
The new regulations make officers
interehanireiihle within their own
arms nnd grades in the service, and
the list of reserve corps' second lieu
tenants of Die regular army is also
made available lor appointment of
men in that grade to the other
branches. Stress is laid on the de
sirability of promoting men within
the unit in which a vacancy occurs
where this is advisable. In naming
second lieutenants, commanders may
select non-commissioned officers or
officers of the reserve corps as they
deem best.
