GEORGETOWN TO KEEP
165TH ANNIVERSARY
Citizens Association Will Celebrate
Anniversary of Founding of Town
in Potomac Hall.

On Monday, Georgetown will be
l65 years old, and the Georgetown
Citizen Association will properly cele-
brate the anniversary at its meeting on
that Monday night in Potomac Hall,
Wisconsin avenue and NJ street. The
province Of Maryland on May Is, 175l,
King George II, then reigning, decided
on the erection of a town to be located
at the mouth of Rock Creek, a tributary
Of the Potomac River.
As the meeting on Monday night, to
which all the associate civic societies of
the District are invited. William A. Cor
don will be the principal speaker, his
topic being "Old Georgetown" As Cor
don has made the research of Georgetown
a life study there is no doubt but that
the lecture will be most interesting and
highly instructive throughout. There will
also be other speakers Of note, and a
buffet lunch will be served.

press, and few outside observers are bet

Mr.. Gribble believes that the Social
Democrats, at a later stage of the war.
will seize the reins of power. when the
German masses will be very hungry and
very angry" His conclusions follow:
It looked, at the famous ReiChstag ses-
sion of August 4. 1914, as though the
kaiser had waived his hand and the
Social Democrats had disappeared. There
were one hundred and eleven of them.
They formed the strongest separate party
in the House.
Kaiser Cracks whip.
THE kaiser, not long before had
denounced them as Synonymous with
enemies of the Fatherland.' Yet when
the hour struck and the kaiser spoke
they fell into line with the junkers,
and the kaiser was able to say that
thenceforward he would recognize no
parties, but only Germans. The only
discordant voice was that of Herr
LiebneCht, of whom II might justly
have been said that he lacked one es-
sential qualification of a party lead
er-he had no followers.
The suggestion that the Social
Democrats were hypnotized by the
kaiser's theatrical eloquenCe may be
orite theory in France is that they were
the tools of a government which was
playing a deep game; that they had all
along desired the war, but had pretended
to oppose it in the hope OF Turing on the
anti-militarists of France to some an
arChial action which would paralyze
French resistance. The subsequent atti-
tude of some of them has ben Chauvinis-
tic enough to give color TO the hypothesis.
Herr Sudekum has undertaken govern
ment missions in Sweden. Italy and ROu-
mania: Herr Scheidemann has clustered
as loudly as any junker. Still, it is i'm
possible to believe in real plot OF the
kind suggested. A handful Of men might
have lent themselves to such an intrigue,
but not one hundred and eleven men.
Their attitude must be explained more
simply, and the operative factors were
probably simple enough.
In the first place. We may credit them
with the natural reluctance which any
man feels to leave his country in the
lurCh even when he believes her to be in
the wrong; in the second place. we may
suppose that reluctance to have been en-
HANGED by the expectation that Germany
would win a quick and easy victory Over

INTERNAL STRIFE TO

CONTINUED FROM PAGE TEN.

field. He laid down three propositions
about the war:
THE first of these is that there can
be no respect of durable peace so long
as uncontrolled junkerdom reigns su-
preme in Germany. The second is that
any change in the direction of bringing
junkerdom under effective control must
be the work of the Germans themselves.
Even If the Germans were completely
vanquished, 1t would be a fatal error to
endeayor to impose from without any in
ternal reforms on Germany The third
is that we need not and should not con-
tinue the struggle for mere military
glory, or to hUmiliate Germany, or. in
the German chancellor's word, to OBJ
struct the economic evolution Of Ger
many, or even to avenge the cruel mis-
deeds perpetrated by the German army
with the consent and appreciation of its
commanders. But we cannot, in Justice
to~ourselves, to the rest of Europe and
to posterity lay down the sword until
the Germans are converted"
Fits I'm with surmIse.
1t is only fair to admit that there are
Englishmen and Frenchmen who would
subscribe to this doctrine even if the
allied troops were streaming over the
Rhine. but it is difficult to conceive an
imperialist like Lord Cromer writing
such a letter unless he were convinced
that the plan I have outlined is more
likely to succeed than the efforts to
crush the German armies
Since II these views are we'll founded,
the center of interest in the war may
shift from the battlefieIds to the Reich
stag and the efforts OF Herr Haase and
his rapidly growing I'm pendent par
ty to get control Of the country,
a well-infoTmed view Of the attitude
toward the war Of the Social Democratic
party may be Of interest. This party.
by far the most powerful numerically in
the empire. is the one toward which the
hopes of the British and French states
men are turned. Francis Gribble, who
described the political situation in Ger
many, is an English biographer who has
spent most of the war there. While free,
he mingled with politicians of all factions,

his leisure to a study of the German

three pertinent facts. In every German

there is always a lurking fear and dis

Alleged Attack Planned.
The chancellor showed documents. or
induced certain Social Democrats to say
that he had shown them documents,
purporting to prove the existence of an
international conspiracy TO attack Ger
many. The Social Democrats fell in line
after a heated debate in committee, in
which fourteen members OF the party,
including Herren Liebnecht, Haase and
Ledebour, opposed the policy which the
party as a whole adopted. The war
party only gained the support OF the
Social Democrats by false pretences. some
Of the Social Democrats were never
fooled by these false pretences. and the
unanimity of which so much has been
made never really existed
The dissident majority did not raise
their voices in the ReiChstag; their party
rules bound them to bow to the decision
Of the majority Martial law and the
censorship prevented them from raising
their voices in the country, and as Ger
many appeared TO be winning, their cue
was clearly to wait and see. From the

followed the course of events have seen
the potential opposition gradually be-

classed as Independent supporters Of that

any point Of principle. but solely in their
reluctance to scrap their old association
and turn the ReiChstag into a bear gar
den. NOrwaeTts has sided with Herr
Haase's oarty. and Norwaerts has a cir
culation Of 10000 copies day. Their
thesis covers many points, OF which the
most essential are these:
The chancellor has lied as TO the
causes Of the war. 1t was deliberately
planned as a war OF aggrandisement, in
the interests OF the iunkers and the CAPT
talists. who are coming money out Of
contracts for war material and the in
creased prices Of the necessaries Of life.
The allies have fought cleanly, and
Germany has not fought cleanly.
The invasion of Belgium and Luxem-

are the bombing of open towns and the
sinking Of passenger ships. II is the

CANADIAN APPLE DU-
TIES ARE HEAVIER

1t is thought by local apple sales
agency officials that the increased du-
ties placed by the Canadian govern
ment on this fruit will make shipments
to the markets of the provinces prohib-
tory and that as a consequence ditribu-
tion will suffer severely during the
marketing season of next fall.
''The duty has been increased from
Is l-3 cents to 33 l-3 cents per box,"
says Wilmer Sieg, "snd in addition to
this war tax Of u per cent of the In
voice is levied. The increased tariffs
will have no direct effect on US. but
by eliminating from Canada the heavy
shipments of c grade product of other
districts they bring this large quantity
of fruit in competition with our apples
in markets of the middle west"
1t is said that the increased duties
have been fostered by fruit growers of
British Columbia and Ontario, who
hope by means of it to bolster their
domestic sales.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 28. 1916

Editor Glacier: Will you kindly cor
rect an article recently appearing in
one of your issues relative to the con-
templated withdrawal of the Rogue
River Fruit & Produce Association from
the Northwestern Fruit Exchange and
my connection herewith.
Az far as the decision of the Associa-
tion to cease using the Exchange as it's

be entirely with the stockholders OF the
Association. Personally, as as grower
and one of the organizers of both the
Association and Exchange, my interest

becomes the function of the highly sys

where the great proportion of the con

than retail, as the problem is big one

which can cover the markets of thu

and quantity of any one locality anC
