In milder terms than those employ
ed by the Faculty Of Modern History
at his own university. or by the sa-
wants of Jena, Dr. Sunday thus words
his direct charge of corscienceless
and brutal robbery by the German
Government:
"When all disguisos IRE stripped
away, this Prussianized Germany
stands upon the old naked doctrine
that Might is Right. Never in the
history OF the world has this doctrine
been applied in such q systematically
logical way. Not only Is the right oil
the stronger vindicated and excused
after the event: but strength is laid
| down as the ultimate principle on
which right is based. Whenever, IN
the actual condition of things, the
rights of possession do not exactly
correspond to the strength Of the
I possessor, it is assumed that they are
hollow and ought not to re respected.
Stated in its bare form, the doctrine
goes back to:
"'The good old rule, the simple
plan. That they should take who
have the power.
And they should keep who can.
Such is the effect of war upon
those who are among the calmest of
mankind Such the effect, without

When Disraeli ordered 10000 men
from the Indian contingent of the
British army TO embark for Europe
he startled all the other European
pCwers by that display Of Britain's
strength in Asia and her ability to
meet European enemies with fOrmid-l
able forces from other continents.
Today Great Britain can call upon
the army of Japan and the navy Of
that oriental nation to aid in her de-
fense or in attacks upon other ma
tions.
Today 10000 Of the natives Of India
are en- route under the British flag
TO do battle for her against Germany
side by side with regiments of blacks
from the West Indies. The troops
from India performed splendid SER
vice in China during the Boxer in
surrection. and their conduct in
touch with European conditions and
in face of European antagonists Will
be watched with much interest by not
only the military experts, but by
millions of others OF the civilized
world, who are awaiting anxiously
the results of a conflict between Ash
atics and Europeans.
That the troops from India will
fight we'll few will question. How
they will stand the inclement winter

German False News
From the New York Tribune.

Nothing is more fairly typical Of
the abiding difference between Ger
man autocracy and French or British
democracy than the matter of war
news France and England have
given out reports, guarded in Ian
guage and often delayed, but in the
main complete and accurate. Their
bias has been obvious. IL would be
foolish to expect any government 10
write impartial history with the
sound of guns still booming in the
distance. With a little checking up
however, and correction from re-
Torts of correspondents at the front,
We in America have been able to fol-
lew the whole campaign in the west
with fairly close accuracy. AS the
detailed reports of Sir John French
become puplic even a slight sense Of
perspective is possible.
The Kaiser's point of view toward
publicity is so different from the
democratic notion with which Ameri-
cans are familiar that it is difficult
for us to comprehend it., let alone do
it Justice. The famous wireless mes
eages early fell into disrepute here
because of their obvious absurdity
from the point of view OF fact They
hardly pretended to tell the truth.
They sounded rather like q small boy
hrsgging. Count Won Bernstorff ad-
ded to the disfavor surrounding Ger
man publicity by a series of inter
views of which perhaps Tie less said
the better. Recently there was dis
Cernible an effort on the part of Ger
man Oficialdom TO repair this error
and give some semblance of fairness
IN it's official news. But the effort
plainly went against the grain, and
we were presently hearing once more
of uniform German triumphs and
easy defeats of the Allies.
The simple fact is that the Kaiser IS

inocratic standards involving a free

licity. The German press is con-
trolled and inspired from above. In
time of war the last thing that would
occur to the German officials would
be to inform their citizens of the true
progress of the war Why should
they? Their object would rather be
10 keep up the spirits Of the public
and the entire army by rCseate views
of what was happening al the front.
The rigid control of news channels
being what It is in Germany, such a
system of false news IS easily accom-
plished. That is how such prepos-
tercus canards as the John Burns
speech and the Cornelius Vanderbilt
interview passed unquestioned in
Germany
What we should try to appreciate
here is that such secrecy and distor-
tiOn are the natural and instructive
weapons of autocracy. Forty-three
years ago Napoleon III was lying to
tho French people in exactly the same
fashion as the Kaiser's officials lie
today. There was swift retribu-
tion for the Emperor of the French.
which may or may not have its moral
today. But while Napoleon lasted he
won an unending string OF victories.
At present the only unfortunate side
OF the system for Germany is It's in
duence upon neutral opinions. Ameri-
cans cannot help being favorably inn
pressed by the comparative frankness
and truthfulness of the Allies. Ger
tain of cur un-Americanized Germans
like the preposterous gentlemen Of
/ the much hyphenated defence COM
mittee and Mr. Herman Ridder, ap-
prove the Kaiser's methods and adopt
them as their own. But as letters
: to The Tribune have made plain. the
! true American of German birth or
/ descent Is as much disgusted with
/ this policy of lies and deceit as any
one In the long run it may prove
one of the costliest and most damag
ing of weapons which German official
dom is welding

AIMS TO CONSERVE FOOD
SUPPLIES FOR THE PEOPLE
The Bundesrath Adopts Measures to
Prevent Waste Of Grain
in Germany.

BERLIN, October %. via London. Oc-
tober 29.-The bundesrath met to-
day wednesday, to discuss ways and
means Of conserving the food supply
for the people during the coming year
and decided that with certain expedi-
ents the grain supply would be ample
until the 1915 crop had been harvested.
The mills will be allowed to convert
larger percentages of grain into flour;
10 per cent of rye may be added to
wheat flour and 20 per cent of potato
flour added to rye.
1t also was decided to prohibit the
feeding of wheat and rye to live stock,
whereas heretofore one-fourth of the
rye yield was consumed in this manner.
1t was further decided to restrict the
amount OF rye used for distilling
spirits to 60 per cent of the normal
consumption. The boarding of grain
for speculative purposes is proirib ited
and compulsory selling under expro-
priatlng proceedings provided for The
bundesrath adopted a scale of maximum
prices for grain. The maximum price
for rye is 220 marks $3.50 a ton for
Berlin. with a proportional difference
for other cities. The price of wheat
remains 40 marks higher than rye
The German Red Cross has received
contribution of 100000 marks ($37,-

committee of Chicago. A contribution
OF 100000 marks has already been re-
