fore our country fight and public opinion
under Liberal government might well be d.
vided upon the subject of Russia. Therefore, if
the quarrel could be so arranged as to seem to
be entirely between Teuton and Slav there
was a good chance that Britain would remain IN
decided until the swift German sword had done
it's work. Then, with the grim acquescence of
our deserted Allies, the still bloody sword would
be turned upon ourselves, and that great final
reckoning would have come.
Such was the plan. and fortune favored it. A
brutal murder had, not for the first time, put
Seryia into position where state may be
blamed for the sins of individuals. An ultmatum

THE NATIONAL MIND HESITATES UNTIL
GERMANY REMOVES THE LAST DOUBT.

So far all had worked well for German plans.
Those OF the British public who were familiar
with the past and could look into the future
might be we'll aware that our interests were
firmly bound with those of France, and that II
our faggo.s were not tied together they would
assuredly be snapped each in its turn. But the
unsavory assassination which had been so cleverly
CHOSEN as the starting point of the war bulked
large in the eyes Of people, and, setting self
interest 20 one side, the greater part OF the pup
lie might we'll have hesitated to enter into
quarrel where the seemed remote and the
issues i'll defined What was it to if Slav
or a Teuton collected tho harbor dues Of Salon
lea! So the question might have presented itself
10 the average man, who in the long run is the
ruler of this country and the autocrat of its
dcstinies. In spite Of all the wisdom Of our
statesmen it is doubtful if on such a quarrel we
corld have gained that national momentum which
might carry us TO victory. But at that very
moment Germany took step which removed the
last doubt from the most cautious Of us and lett
us in position where we must either draw
cur sword or stand for ever dishonOred and
humiliated before the world. The action de-
manded of us was such compound of cowardlce
and treachery that ask ourselves in dismay
what can we ever have done that could make
others for one instant imagine to be capable
Of so dastardly course?
Yet that it was really supposed that he would
do il, and that it was not merely pct forward as
gr excuse for drawing us into war, is shown b.
the anger and CONSERVATION of the kaiser and his
Chancellor when we drew back from what the
british Prime Minister had described IAN in

FOW THE HAPSBURGS AND HOHENZOL-
LERNS HAVE USED THEIR PEOPLES.

But the matter lies deep. The Hohenzollerns
and the Hapsburgs have used their peoples as
great landowner might use the serfs upon his
estate. 1t was, and is, their openly expressed
theory that they were in their position by the
grace of God that they owed no reckoning to
any man. and that kingdom and folk were COM
mittcd for better or worse to their charge.
Round this theory of the Dark Ages there gath
cred all the forces of the many courts of the
empire, all the nobility who make so huge a class
in GermaniC countries, all the vast army to'whom
strict discipline and obedience were the breath
Of life, all the oiceholders Of the state, all the
purvoyOrs of warke stores These and their
Ike the natural setting to such central
idea. Court influence largely controlled the
teaching at schools and universities, and so the
growing twig could be bent. But all these forces
together could not have upheld dangerous and
unnatural theory had it not been for the inAu-
of servile press. How that press was
managed, how the thoughts Of the people could
be turned 20 the right the left with the same
precision as a platoon Of grenadiers, has been
shown clearly enough in the Memoirs Of Bis
marck. Public opinion poisoned at its very
roots
At time when all Europe was shuddering over

u
rands were still wet with the blood Of murdered

k.d already by the Treaty Of Algeciras been a.

press Justify such interference as that?
He is or should be aware that in annexing BOs-
ni. Austria was tearing up treaty without the
consent Of the other signatorcs, and that his own
country was supporting ara probably melting h,

Vermont Germans in Protest.

/ The German-American alliance at a
special meeting in Burlington on Thurs
day adopted the following resolution;
Whereas, the American nation is
composed and has been brought to its
present exalted position by the emf
grants from all parts of Europe, and
whereas about one fourth of the people
OF the United States are of German birth
or ancestry, who have done more than
their fair share, from early colonial
times, until now, in upbuilding our lib
erty, in fighting to preserve the union,
in upbuilding the nation, in every de-
partment of commerce and industry and
in furthering its cultural development,
"be it resolved that we as American
citizens insist that the American press
shall present its information in an UNI
biased and impartial manner, and that
the editorials shall as far, as possible be
without prejudice or hatred toward any
class of American citizens, for, this,
though an English speaking country, is
not an English nation, and it is but fair
in these trying times that the American
spirit of fair play shall be exercised to
further good feelings among American
citizens of every extraction and creed,
and "be it further resolved, that copy
of these resolutions be mailed to the
editor, and the news editor of
every paper in the state"
