WHILE tlic (htiiijuis arc -laimriiifi for jicui't' it
well to rciiicuilvr that wv arc finlitin Id destroy
''kultur'' rather than (Jennany, and that kultur is the
lielief that niitcht is rifi'lit, combined with the feudal doc
trine of the divinity of kiiitfs, the sanctity of the state,
and the myth of the (icrinaii superman. For two gener
ations the (icrinaii people have been taught kultur in
place of Christianity by their rulers until the entire na
tion became permeated with barbarism.'
"Kultur'' is best defined in the words f the Herman
philosophers and teachers, which are now repeated to re
fresh voiir nieniorv.
Tricfschke said in teaching German superiority: "The
(lerinau is a hero horn, and believes he can hack and hew
ii is way liirougn nic, aiidMctzeiie added: "Deep in
the nature of all these noble races there lurks uninistalvf
ably the beast of prey, the blonde beast, lustfully roving
in search of booty and victory," and Tannenburg remark
ed "the (icrmaii people is always right because it is the
(icrinaii people and numbers cightv-scvon million souls.''
ul laving convinced the German that he is a superman
because ot the ' blonde beast within hun, the tallacv
that might is right, was instilled in him, JJernliardi
taught: ".Might is the supyme right, and the dispute
as to wlisit is riglit is decided bv tlie arbitrament ot war,
and Stirrier declared: "What does right matter to me?
I have no need of it, I' have the right to do what 1
have the power to do, aiul- Lasson asserted: "Let him
who has the power and feels himself prepared cut the
knot with the sword. For great historical questions this
is the only rational and permanent solution."
The "blonde beast" would not a beast without the
law of the jungle, so ("rightfulness was inculcated as fol
lows: "ar must leave nothing to the vanquished but
tlieir eyes to weep with; modesty on our part would Ik
only madness,' said Janneberg. "It makes for health
that the nobler race should absorb the inferior stock
declared inetsciiKe. "j.et us liravelv organize great
forced migrat ions of the inferior peoples we must
coerce them. This is one of the tasks of war," taught Wag
ner, wlnle mi llartinan remarked: "Terrorism is seen
to be a relatively gentle procedure useful to keep in a state
of obedience the masses of tKe people." General n del
Goltz thus summarized: "It is better to let a hundred
women and children belonging to the enemy die id' hunger
than to let a single German soldier suffer."
Murder, rapine, theft and falsehood were all included
in the German curriculum as justifiable. Horrible crimes
and cruelties, deportation and enslavement of peoples were
inculcated as part of the "blonde beast's" heritage.
Xeitzsche declared: "Hatred, delight in mischief, rapac
ity," ambition and whatever else is caiied evil, belong to
the marvelous economy of t he conservation of the race!"
ar was declared "the eternal order instituted by
God" and its devotees became war-crazed until defeat
threatened to bring to Germany what Germany had in
flicted on the world. Xow the "love of war and' the crav
ing for battle" as a German trait, is rapidly evaporating.
Such a philosophy of life that made man a glorified
beast, was not complete witJiout a god-head and so we have
the kaiser and his shining armor, prince of woe and death
the mighty monarch who grandiloquently declared:
The spirit or the Lord has dosieiulcd upon me because I-nm emperor
of the Hermann. I ntn tho Instrument "of the Almighty. 1 urn Ills sword,
Ills ui:ont. Woo unit death to till those who shall oppose my will! Woo
and death to those who do not believe In my mission! Woe and death to
the cowards. Let them perish, all enemlis of the German people, (iod
demands their destruction! Cod, ho by my mouth bids you do His will.
Ami that is why President "Wilson has informed the
German people that the United States will not consider
peace with the military masters and inonaivhial autocrats
ruling Germany, why it is up to Germans to repudiate
kultur or be crushed by the armed might of civilization.

I OF THE RUSSIANS
MOSCOW, Oct. 26. (Correspon
dence of Associated Press.) Sabotage
Is the favorite weapon of the Rus
sian, lie uses It more effectively than
the rijle and understands it better.
It was sabot atio which overthrew
Emperor Nicholas. In neither case
was there an extensive military char
acter to the movement which gave
Russia a new government."
And now the weapon which the
Bolehevikl and their supporters of
iho extreme left used on previous
governments has been turned ucainst
them. In the food situation, on the
railways, In various government bur
eaus. In public service organizations
of all sorts, among bankers, business
and professional men, and . even
among peasants the government en
counters hindrance and obstruction
of a type which camicrt he punished
and stamped out.
Commissar Tsurupa, who Is "in
charge of the national food supply,
recently stated in a speech that 1500
persons in his department alone had
retained positions for months and
pretended to work, when they were
in reality doing all they could to hin
der the food administration.
Trotzky, Lenine and other Bolshe
vik speakers and agitators have made
the most of' the sabotage directed
against them by loudly proclaiming
in all sections of Russia that the dis
order they inherited from the Ker
ensky regime and the opposition dir
ected against thein by enemies wltii
in the government, as well as out
side, has prevented the soviet repub
lic from bettering the food situation,
and getting commerce and industry
back into normal cnannels.
This view was accepted by the la
boring masses very generally ' for
some time, but after months of the
Bolshevik republic it is apparent that
the laboring men are no longer will
ing to accept abuse of various anti
iiolshevik factions as a complete ex
cuse for the deplorable lack of food.
Tho loss of the Ukraine grain sup
ply and the cutting off ot the Siber
ian wheat stores by the Czecho-SIo-vaks
stand forth st plainly that the
dullest workman reads tho handwrit
ing on the wall. Without gralnfields
he understands there cannot be
grain. And the promises of bread
thru graincrusades made by armed
Torres do not impress him when he
realizes that the portion of Russia re
maining within the jurisdiction of
tho soviet republic does not contain
enough grain to feed the republic's
population, even If every bushel were
under government control and care
fully distributed.

Reports from all parts of the
county indidfte that the epidemic of
Spanish influenza has rea-ched its
crest anfliis receding. At Dunsmulr
there is a marked improvement In
the situation. Not only aro the new
cases diminishing In number but In
virulence. The Red Cross now has
the situation well in hand thru co
operative organization. Physicians
and nurses have been very much
overworked, but at last reports the
tense atmosphere has relaxed and an
easier feeling prevails, says the Sis
kiyou i.Vews.
At Weed and McCloud it is believ
ed the epidemic Is at its crest.
Schools, churches, lodges and public
places of amusement have been clos
ed and all precautionary measures
taken. Three hundred cases have
been reported at McCloud and about
the same number a Weed. Practic
ally the entire office force of the
Weed Lumber company is laid un
and 104 employes of the sash and
door factories are off duty. All de
partments of the mill are operating,
however, tho decidedly shorthanded.
iAt McCloud the Red Cross build
ing and theater have been equipped
for hospitul service.
In Yreka influenza is prevalent
but in a mild form. The-total num
ber of cases to date is not above 30,
and no new cases have been reported
within the last 24 hours. This is on
the authority of .Mrs. Mtfyer, recent
ly .appointed community nurse, who
is working in cooperation with the
county heatlh officer and Red Cross
in checking the epidemic. Gauze
masks, which are recommended by
the state board of health as being
very effective in warding off the dis
ease, reducing the liability of con
tracting it 90 percent, are worn by
many. The effectiveness of the mask,
however, does not lie In frightening
the germs to death as a certain su
perstitious resident who believes
first met a masked figure well along
toward the hour "when graveyards
yawn and hell itself breathes out con
tagion to this world."
NORM PRO-ENGLISH
LOXDON Oct. 26 In Sweden one
is disagreeably struck by the number
of people who speak German. When
aked a question in English, a Swede,
be he a policeman or a civilian. In
variably countered lu German. At
h off els and restaurants few porters
ami waiters understand or speak
English. In bookshops Kngltsl books
and magazines are few, while Ger
man are largely represented.
It is different in Norway. English
Is taught at school, and nearly every
body one meets, from the porter at
the station to one's neighbor at the
dinner table, speaks English fluent
ly. The windows in the bookshops
are full of English and American
publications.
The treatment of English-speaking
visitors had more of hearty hospital
ity and kindliness In Norway than in
Sweden.
