onefOurth of the earth's surface.
England controls the seven seas. Ger
many. expanding, is without these
things, and regards Britains world
dominance as undeserved and all out
of proportion to her strength" This,
in brief, was the message of S. S.
Mcclure, editor and publisher, in a
splendid lecture on the European war
situation at the high school audi
forum last night
Speaking in an easy conversational
manner that held the close attention
OF the large audience throughout,
Col Mcclure outlined clearly and To-
gically the development of Germany
during the past 100 years. Starting
with the time when Stein started the
movement which welded the loosely
joined city-states into a compact ma
ton, he traced the steps by which
the German empire attained its pres
ent high state Of civic and military
efficiency.
Germany is great because of her
self government, and because of the

a robber nation had been rendered
more acute by her own industrial
expansion Here is a nation which
has attained a high place in modern
development, and which has in many
ways solved better than any other
nation the problems of social and
civic life, feeling the confinement of
her own boundaries, and shut out
from further expansion by what she
considers a robber nation
Turning to England Col Mcclure
traced graphically the process
through which two little German
tribes, fighting for centuries for their
very existence against invaders, had
been hammered out into what has
become the British empire. Take
out of our modern civilization what
the Angles and the Saxons have Civ
en-" he said, and you haul us back
to Roman times
The attitude of anxiety and mutual
fear of an attack from the rival pow
er during recent years. and the events
which led up to the war We're then
described by the lecturer, who, by
reason of his wide acquaintance with
prominent statesmen and leaders in
both countries, has a view of the
situation afforded to few Americans
In closing he brought out the terri
BILE destruction caused by the strug
gle, a struggle caused by the expan-
sion of Germany, where population
of 100000 is confined in an area
hardly larger than the state of Cali
fornia t'& 4
A pleasing fea ture of the lecture
was the reading of Shakespeares tri-
butte to England:
This royal throne of kings. this
sceptered isle.
This earth of majesty. this seat OF
Mars,
This other Eden, demi- paradise.
This fortress, built by Nature for
herself,
This happy breed of men, this little
world,
sea,
This blessed plot this earth, this
realm. this England
by the way" said Col Mcclure,
amid Il round of applause, that
might be applied very appropriately
to this country around Phoenix
Col Mcclure will lecture this after
noon at 3 o'clock on the subject,
How to Get Good Government" No
admission will be charged at this
lecture, The noted editor leaves to-
morrow for California where he will
fill a number of lecture engagements.

military training she gives her citi-
Zens," said Col Mcclure. Next to
Stein, the man who did perhaps more
than any one else to promote and
advance military training was Won
Treitschle, the noted professor and
lecturer In all his writings he en-
phasized the idea that "A nation is
great as it is an ARMY and it was
the PRONUNCIATION of this idea that led
to the present military efficiency of
the empire
The lecturer cited a number of
quotations from the writings of
Treitschke showing his attitude to-
, ward the British empire, and illus
trating the general attitude toward
the British empire and illustrating
the general attitude of the entire ma
ton. He showed how the feeling that
Germany had come into the arena of
nations at late date only to find
everything pre-empted by England
had led to preparations for war, and
how this feeling that she was shut
out from her place in the world by

SYMPHONY PLAYS
FINE PROGRAM
Second Free Concert of Ell
Paso Orchestra Given to
a Crowded House.

FL Paso has symphony orchestra Of
which it may well be proud. Nearly 40
musicians under the baton Of H. e. Van
Surdam, Friday afternoon at the Craw-
ford theater, presented a fine program
of classical and popular music, to an
audience that filled every seat in the
theater.
The audience was representative OF
the best of Ell Paso's citizenship. and
il was appreciative and enthusiastic.
Gl Paso audiences have been criticised
in the past for being cold; this audience
was not cold. Applause at the end of
each number was gratifyingly genuine
and warmly sympathetic. There was
disappointment because the length of
the program prevented any encOres.
The musicians felt the sympathetic
thrill and they did excellent work at
all times In some of the numbers,
notably the William Tell overture, the
orchestra rose to a height of musical
excellence that could not justly have
been expected of it, in view of the
newness of the organization and the
impossibility of holding rehearsals as
frequently as might have been desired.
Solo Work Effective.
The solo work Of the various mem
bers of the orchestra was notably con-
scientious and effective. Parts of the
Peer Gynt music were performed with
a feeling and color that showed not
onl- study, but keen individual appre-
citation OF the score.
Many business men were in the audi
ence; they had stolen away from the
work of a busy afternoon to enjoy an
hour of delightful relaxation The audi

RECORDS OF RAILROADERS

Chicago, III. Dec 19.-suspicion that
the committee Of railroad general man
ayers has not been acting in good faith
in the arbitration of wage differences
between western railroads and their
employees, was voiced before the fed
eral arbitration board today by VIII
liam S. Carter, president of the Broth
erhOod of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen.
Carter said his suspicious had been
increased by the receipt of an anoEy-
nous letter stating that the Managers
committee had been feeling around" to
find out just what witnesses were to
be called for the ,enginemen.
You no doubt have Observed said
Carter, addressing the board, the en-
barrassment of most of our witnesses.
They feel that every forgotten detail
of their records is being dug up and
it affects their testimony. I have had
difficulty in getting some of the men
to testify, and some Of the men upon
whom 1 have counted have disap-
peared."

Next Concert.
The orchestra is now preparing
Dvoralz's New World symphony, which
will be given in a few weeks at an
other free concert. This is highly
popular composition, which will please
everybody: yet it belongs to the higher
realm of music. 1t is altogether wrong
to divide musical compositions into
classical and popular" as II the
same piece could not be both good mu-
sic and also popular. As matter OF
fact. much classical" music is most
popular music also, and one of the
prime functions of a well directed sym
phonv orchestra is to demonstrate this
fact, thus opening to the masses OF the
people the wealth of beauty and salts
