An Awakened Russia.

Il has been the custom to call the movement
which threatens the eastern frontier OF Germany
the Russian avalanche" as if the weight OF mere
numbers was all that was to be expected from the
Cars empire But the wave of men extending
from the Baltic to the Carpathians, which has just
eng1llfed Cracow and PUSHES on toward Breslau,
has more force in 1t than mere multitude All
observers are agreed that it is a fine army, ably
handled.
A marvel has happened. The Russian military
machine has worked with all the expected pre-
csion of the German military machine and more
effectively. The mobilization, under all the diff
entities that exist in half developed country like
Russia with its endless distances, was accom-
pllshed with celebrity and without a hitch The
advance upon Germany has gone forward at an
extraordinary pace which the feeble resistance Of
collapsing Austria does not sufficiently explain y
bungling campaign badly led by court favorites,
with its equipment sCamped b. official corruption,
made up Of stupid sOldiery lacking in national
spirit. would not have progressed as this one has
nor would 1t have won the victories that this one
has. even against Austria.
Then there IS the new respect for the opinions
OF mankind being shown by Russia. Every dis
match from Petrograd speaks of the humane way
Russia's prisoners Of war are being treated 1t
is not necessary to believe these stories in every
word but they are doubtless inspired, and it is
necessary to take into consideration the desire TO
win the good will of the world which prompts the
inspiring of them. Russia has evidently made up
IFS mind TO live down its reputation for barbarity.
If beside Germanys sack and burning OF Louvain
Russia can set a record for the humane conduct
of war. she will achieve victory even greater
than the taking Of Berlin.
Some of Russias present military efficiency may
be set down to experience gained in the war with
Japan. To profit by the lessons of defeat ana 10

have good army But something more is neces-
sary TO explain what Is happening. The revolution
If a few years ago, which disheartened lovers Of
liberty and human progress the world over by ap-
parently spending its force in few moments, was
evidently deeper and more real than it seemed
And the victorious army sweeping for hundreds of
miles the Slavic provinces of Germany AMI Austria
meuns that Russia is at last awakened.

FOR A FREE GERMANY
The End of Prussian Domination Must
Be the End of This War.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me. i'm the name VI the
sacred rights Of nationality, to protest
against the spirit animating such eN-
presGions as those of "Amcrican's" let
ter in your issue Of to-day. The Ger
mans must be crushed into sub
mission and absolutely destroyed no
litically. THE common outlaw Of ne
world Germany
While this spirit prevails in the
councils Of nations wars will never
cease. As evinccd in 1870, It has kept
France thrsting through fOrty-four
years for la Reyanche.' As inspiring
Austria's declared intention Of humlll-
ating Scryia. it was the immediate Oc-
casion Of the present catastrophe. SO
slow is the world to learn the lesson
t.uCht By Italy. taught by Ireland the
vitality Of national consciousness. the
yanctity Of national sclf-respect What
political destruction can mean TO that
self-respect may be gathered from n
moving passage lately quoted by Pro-
lessor Kuno Francke: 81 have often
felt a bitter grief at the thought of the
German people, which is so noble, m
diyidually and so wretched as a whole
4 comparison Of the German nation
with other nations gives us painful
feelings, which try to overcome by all
possible means; and in science and art
have found the wings which lift me
above them. But the comfort which
they afford is, after all, only mlsera-
! Bile comfort, and does not make up for
the proud consciousness of belonging
to a nation strong, respected and
feared
These are not the words of one who
undervalued cultural as compared with
political interests. They are the words
of Goethe. Should the outcome Of the
prescn! contest be the end Of Pruss ian
domination in Germany, German fed
Grafton, in whatever form il may then
take, will need the loyal sympathy Of
other nations in its task of establishing
on a new basis the national integrity
which Goethe yearned and kOrner died
for. To pledge il such sympathy will
be an Office worthy of the United
States, which has done so signal like
service to China and to Mexico. In sup
porting such policy many of us will
rejoice to attest our sincerity IN de-
claring that at this moment we oppose
Germany, not because Germany is Ger
man. but because Germany Is wrong.
In adopting il the victorious powers
will have an incompatible opportunity
of proving that theirs is indeed the
cause of freedom and Of civilization.
Christians, in urging it, will show their
resolve to overcome evil with good. To
50 many high motives the high passion
Of patriotism appeals in its insistence

THE WATCH ON THE RHINE
What the German Anthem UpholdS
Before the German People.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In last Sundays paper you gave
Us the national anthems OF the warria ,
peoples. Few Of US really know these
national odes and for one thank you
for printing them. If the songs Of
people indicate the spirit in them,
srrelY the national anthem should
show what is deepest and truest in
the nation.
OF the four the Russian national
hymn seems the best. 1t testifes 10
spirit Of trust in God, no matter
though he is conceived as the Absolute
One-the OmnipOtent. Added to It
there is heartfelt desire for peace
expressed in every verse. 1t, like the
English anthem, has the virtue uf
brevity.
The English national hymn shows
faith in God and loyalty to the reign.
ing power. The last verse, however,
shows "A land free from absolutsm
and gives a hint that the King is under
the law of the land even as is the hum.
blest subject.
The "NFarseillaise" is a song for lib
erty. 1t leaves the name of God out,
ard is tOr that reason weak. But it,
spiritual noe in regard to mans soul
II strong and il clearly indicates that
whatever il may suffer from brute
force and oppression the spirit of lib.
erty can never perish.
Now what shall we say Of the Ger,
man national song? II takes no note Of
any power superior to its own. True,
it speaks of the dead of heroic
race" looking down from heaven and
saying 20 Rhine be German as this
breast of mine!" But of God the Father
there is no word. 1.-THE clanc Of
steel the sword the
rife" These be thy gods, o Germany!
And for what purpose? To guard this
stream divine? For that, Belgium,
France, England, Russia, ct omnia,
must be oveTrun and conquered.
II we try to interpret the spirit Of
each nation by its national song in one
word we might put il this way: Russia.

liberty; Germany, the earth.
