EuRoPE,s INSANITY

"War and courage have done more
great things than love to ones neiqh-
bor," wrote Friedrich Nietzsche, the
famous philosopher whose writings
supplied this motto for the title page
OF a militarist book by the German
General Bernhard. This abominable
falsehood, supported by cunning and
plausible logic, had much to do with
the creation and elimination of the
warspirit in Europe.
Nietzsche was boldly anti-Christ and
declared that ''the Gospel died on the
Cross" He believed in aristocracy.
the survival OF the strong, and the de-
Felopment, through eugenics. OF the
superman.
such arguments appealed 10 the
throned monsters who brought on this
AWFUL war. The people were gradual
~ educated TO accept them, at least
IN part. Preparation for this mon
Strous war continued through long
period. Came then the pretext and
Europe was ablaze.

NO REASON FOR IT.

A few days ago The lntelligencer
called attention to the fact that pri
vate enterprise was rapidly supplying
the necessities Of ocean shipping, and
that there was no occasion for the
government butting in and musstng
up a situation that was relieving IL
self; that the government ownership
ship purchase bill would not be sup
plying an emergency, because no such
condition existed. This is now reIi-
fed officially BY the statistics gath
cred by the Bureau OF Navigation, and
which show that 1000 vessels OF 347,'
SAT gross tons were built in the United
States and officially numbered during
the fiscal year ended June 30 last,
as compared with 1856 vessels Of 2l5.,
III gross tons during the fiscal year
ended June so, 1915 These figures
show conclusively that the tendency
has been toward building larger ships
and more tonnage.
The same report states that the
seaboard yards built thirty-fve large
steel merchant steamers aggregat!rs
1889 gross tons, the largest output
in their history. Twenty one Of these
steamers are each over 5000 tons, the
largest being 10000 tons. while four

the authorities were compelled 10 take
drastic measures TO dispense them.
The present outbreak in central Kan
sas shows how crafty they are, rising
TO threats OF violence and menacing the
peace just when the militiamen OF the
State have been sent 10 the Mexican
border. The reports from that State re-
late that the "Workers" have become
unusually bold, wandering about in
bands threatening 10 burn towns. They
range in numbers from dozen or
two to a thousand or more. Ostensi-
bly, they are laborers seeking work in
the harvest fields, but their conduct
indicates that they are chilly toughs
