But the lust of ambition for a name
to rank with that of Napolecn's we
fear will cause another Gibbon to
write the Rise and Fall" of another
empire
The contemplation of the story
makes us sad. We feel that the pres

ST Helena was visited by Mr..
Charles Darwin in 1888, and he begins
it's description in these words: This
island, the forbidding aspect Of which
has been so often described, rises ali
ruptly like huge black castle from
the ocean,"
when approaching the anchorage.
he says, there was one striking
view: An irregular castle perched on
the summit of a lofty hill, and sur
rounded by few scattered fir trees,
boldly projected against the sky
That was Napoleon's barracks.
There were no trees upon the is
land when Darwin visited it, except
the fir trees mentioned. In former
times it was covered so densely with
trees that a certain part of it was
called the Great Wood"
Darwin says: $50 late as the year
1716 there were many trees, but in
1924 the old trees had mostly fallen;
and as goats and hogs had been suffer
ed to range about, all the young trees
had been killed"
The trees were never restored, and,
thus denuded, this island, remote from
any continent, indeed presents for
bidding aspect"

breaking out of the war, the Ameri-
can viewpoint cannot be regarded as
at all surprising.
Germany and America are as wide
apart as the poles in their respective
views of world politics. The one is
essentially an absolutist, and the
other as essentially democratic. The
one believes not only in the divine
right of kings, but in the divine right
of the Hohenzollerns to shape the
destinies of humanity; the other be.
lieves in government for and by the
people whom it believes to be t.
ultimate and legitimate source of al,
authority (under the guidance OF the
Almighty, OF course)
Should anyone be disposed to ques-
ton my assumption regarding the
Germans, | have only to quote the
exact words of Emepror William
himself. Here they are:
Only one is master of this coun-
try. That is |. Who opposes me, l
shall crush to pieces. We HohenZol-
lerns take our crown from God alone,
and to God alone we are responsible
in the fulillment Of duty. Supreme
lex regis voluntas.' Freely translat-
ed The supreme law is the will of
the king.0
in this death grapple, Americans
recognize a world war to the finish
between democracy, and despotism
which is naked and unashamed.'

God bless the flag! Let it float and
fill
The Sky with its beauty; our heart
strings thrill
To the low, sweet chant of its wind
swept bars,
And the chorus of all its clustered
stars.
Embrace it, o mothers: and heroes
shall grow,
While its colors blush warm on your
bosom IF snow.
Defend it o fathers; there's no sweet
err death
Than to float its fair folds with a sol
dier's last breath!
And love it, o children! be true TO
the sireS
WAC wove it in plain by the old camp
fires.

STRIKE TO AFFECT RABBIS
Kosher Butchers to Quit and

And now impends the strike OF kosher
butchers who sell live poultry.
That in itself is fairly Interesting, but
the butchers also insist on making their
employers agree that the rabbis who kill
the poultry must belong TO the union.
Later on, IF this demand IL acceded TO-,
the butchers may demand that the poul-
try that is sold by union butchers TO be
killed by union rabbis may be consumed
by none but members Of the union.
The strike begins next Sunday night.
At a meeting yesterday in Clinton Hall
II was stated that already two thousand
members of the Poultry Workers Union
had gone on strike, and il was said also
that some employers OF members of the
Kosher Butchers Union had already
signed agreements which call for union
recognition, shorter hours, a minimum

The butchers now demand, as an after
thought. that the employers hire from
