A new interest In Persia which the

for Persian shares with English the
reputation Of being a singularly easy

being that it is written in the Arabic
character.

THE PUBLIC FORUM
LET THE GERMANS TAKE U.s.

- III O-TNNITNiNO. TN W.
One of the dangers against which
the preparedness advocates would
have us prepare, is Germany and
possible German invasion. But why
fear Germany? Why not allow Ger
many to invade the United States
and take over our governmental af-
fairs if it wants to?
Up to this time Germany and all
things German have been the shining
example of governmental and all
other efficiency. Our reformers, leg
islators and governmentalists have
never tired of talking about Ger
many's ingenious systems of govern
ment, sanitation, legislation, educa
ton, etc. A university professor,
who is now a Socialist alderman in
Chicago, once went to Germany to
study municipal ownership, city san
itation and city government, and has
ever since lin vain) tried to give Chi
cago the benefit of Germany's splen-
did achievements in these fields.
Then there is practically no I'M
employment in Germany There are
no municipal lodging houses with
long bread lines outside. There are
no armies of unemployed, hungry,
half-naked men, tramping the coun-
try from one end to the other and
riding under box cars. No slum dis
tricts like we have in Chicago. No
police graft scandals. The police are
honest and efficient No such scan
dals and continuous fights as we
have in our municipal administra-
lions, county boards and school
boards. There is no such criminal
carelessness on the part of the au-
thorities as caused the Iroquois fire
and the Slocum and Eastland and
other similar horrors. And there is
infinitely less crime While we have
129 murders to million inhabitants
per year, Germany has only five.

ton as any government based on ex-
ploitation and compulsion ever can
hope to accomplish. Why do govern
mentalists then denounce Germany
as a menace and advocate prepared
ness against it? The preparedness
advocates are now busy trying to in
stall in this country the German sys-
TEN of military training and service.
And they have an awful pile of OBJ
stacles in their way And it is doubt
full if they ever will succeed. But
they would have no difficulty in get
ting that splendid and ingenious sys-
tenn if they allowed the Germans to
invade and conquer us. f'the Ger
mans ruled us we would undoubted-
ly get and enjoy some of the benefits
and blessings of German "kultur,"
while the preparedness" people
would only give us it's burdens, duties
and disadvantages and none Of its
good things.
Being conquered by Germany we
would have one enemy less, we would
have a much more efficient system
of government and preparedness and
would therefore be infinitely better
prepared to destroy such real and
dangerous enemies as the Canadians
and the Mexicans. = Theodor john
son.
