publishes an article by Jerome X. Je-
rome on the war in which he says that
under present conditions, though the
war may be long and terrible. it is in
conceivable that it can have any other
termination than the utter collapse of
the German Empire in its present form.
The DOGGY of her almost ;uperhuman

pupose, turns out TO have even less
foundation. Ii is almost pathetic TO

ridity.

becomes shrewd, alert young person
IN comparison with the collection OF
pompous old imbeciles who have
dragged Germany to her ruin. Their
methods have been those of the stage
villain. For the last ten years they
have been discussing their precious
plans at the top Of their voice, with
all Europe listening and taking notes.
Our white men and our brown men arc
now lighting side BY side for Eng
lands cause. In the future there
must be 10 foolish arrogance. Eng
fish gentlemen and native gentlemen
will share the same railway carriages.
The native will walk into the presence
of sahib and memsahib upright, like
u man. and with his boots on.
"A few Of the worlds follics Will,
one hopes. disappear as a result OF this
war" he continues. 81 can sec no rea-
son for our fearing either German
diplomacy or the German army. cal
see no need for our hating the German
people. We will meet them with their
own weapons and we will conquer
them. When we have driven out OF
them their foolish Boosting and their
foolish pride We will make peace with
them. Germany has sinncd and Ger
many will pay the price of her sin.
The history of nations Is not such that
any one Of US can raise up Pharisaical
hands and thank God that We arc not
as others.
"To talk as If German people were
all monsters who must never be for
given is TO talk the language OF
Eysterical schoolboy. To-day We, with
the help of France and Russia. are
fighting the war lords of Germany. We
will CONQUER them. We will. If the Ger

Petrograd. Oct. 5.-The conflict with

which Germany appears to have set
out to illustrate. Both the great de-
feats inflicted on German arms one
in Galicia against million men and
the other in western provinces OF

caught the Germans in precisely the
same trap.

clan fight, which lasted three weeks,
was when the AustrO-German armies,

three German army corps were adding
weakness to their ally's plans, con.
ceiyed that they had found the line Of

tried 10 break through without consld-
