A Measure Of German Civilization.

The civilization of country is to be judged
not by its military law, which is blanket COW
ering almost everything, but by the way that law
is enforced. Technically war progresses; morally
it is atavistc and no nation can without shocking
and angering the world do all that it is entitled to
do under letter of military law. 1t is three cen
turtles since England stopped killing women for
the offense of which Edith Cavell was guilty. Is
that a measure Of the degree to which German
militarism is out of touch with the progress of
the civilized world?-Springheld Republican.
