GERMANY's REAL ENEMY

To the Editor OF the Evening Ledger:
Slr-What can be the manhood OF a captain
who in perfect safety sinks ship he knows
crowded with women and childrenY Is that
German " kultur" is that typo of military
or naval hero beautiful thing in the eyes OF
the German, or would any one care to own
that he is a subject OF an Emperor who could
order such a thing?
What Germany is up against is not a combl-
nation OF nations repressing her In any lawful
enterprise but against all that the world holds
high or honorable and noble, Her culture is on
exhibition, and II proves TO be dastardy ma
terialism that has robbed her people of the
higher idea. W. C. HALL

ANTHONY F. WILDING. one of the most

has lost his life while serving as lieutenant
of marines in the fighting at the Dardanelles
He was a member of the Australian team
playing in the Davis Cup matches Early In
the war every member of the oxford and
Cambridge rowing crews enlisted, and many
of them have given up their lives. The same
sort of patriotism has been shown by
Frenchmen interested in sports. and their
enthusiastic courage in the face of danger
has led them to heroic deaths. Maeterlinck
has sung the praises of one of them in the
Paris Figaro.

TREATMENT OF EMPLOYEES

From the New York outlook.
In a Boston corporation in which most OF the
employees said to be stockholders, the shop
rules" contain some interesting suggestions for
the considerate treatment of employees Here
are two of them: 1T is good policy to assume
that an employe is trying to do his best until
the contrary is evident" ut is bad policy to
call down employe in the presence Of
third person. He will either fight back and thus
embarrass the executive and possibly lose his
job he will stow away the sting under his
skin. where it will germinate disloyalty and In,

With unknown thresholds on each hand:
The darkness deepens I grope,
Afraid to fear, afraid to hope;
Yet this one thing l learn to know
Each day more surely 1 go.
That doors opened, ways made.
Burdens are lifted are laid,
BY some great law, unseen and still,
Unfathomed purpose to fulfill,
mot as will"
Embodied and alone wait
Loss seems too bitter, gain too late;
Too heavy burdens in the load
And too few helpers on the road;
And Joy Is weak and grief is strong
And years and days so long, so long;
Yet this thing learn to know
Each day more surely as / go,
That am glad the good and i'll
BY changeless law are ordered still,
Not as will"

Each time my lips the words repeat,

More safe than light when this thought steals
Like whispered voice to calm and bless
All unrest and all loneliness.

Who loves us first and best has gone
Before on the road and still
For us must all His love fulfill,
