Why all this display. this insane insis-
tence on rank, this officially encouraged
brutality toward private and civilian,
this rigid code of private and public be-
havior? Because power and command
in Germany go not to the able man, but
to the we'll born man. The young Prus-
sian officer is not necessarily born
leader; indeed he may be, and often is,
stupid and inefficient by nature. So
Germany makes natural ability un-
necessary. She teaches him to be
brutal, because that makes it easier to
give orders. She compelS private and
civilian to obey those orders on pain of
death She makes a uniform more
sacred than a man, because the man
any man-need but don the uniform to
become an object of veneration.
SO you have the Prussian officer-ar-
rogant, simple, comic, tragic, and al
ways ruthlessly efficient.
Why does Germany endure him and
the machine of which he is a product
Because Germany firmly believes that
Prussia and the Prussian officer are her
salvation. In forty years the Prussian
machine turned Germany from loose
federation of weak and disorganized
little states into great, prosperous and
powerful nation.
find it hard to believe that there will
be a German revolution after the war.
If Germany wins, the Prussian machine
will have justified its existence. If Ger
many loses, it will prove to her people
that the Prussian machine was right
that Europe tCds conspiring TO crush
her. For you must remember that the
German people honestly believe that
they are fighting a defensive war. A
foolish belief, you may say. 1t is fool
ish. But Germany believes It.
That belief is easily explained. Sup
pose the government Of the United
States and all the newspapers Of the
United States should insist during the
next forty years that Japan was plan
ming to attack us. Suppose the govern
ment and newspapers of Japan should
insist during the same period that we
were planning to attack her. Would not
the people of those respective countries
believe the charges implicitly after a
while? Would not war be inevitable
Would not each side believe that it was
acting on the defensive, even if it should
take the actual first step toward war?
That is what has been going on In
Europe, especially in Germany, these
forty years. To be sure, Prussia has
been fooling Germany, but how is Ger
many to find it out?
That is why | can only hope for the
coming German revolution. | do not
expect it

keep close by his master, and is respon-

One of the first discoveries a young
officer makes is that his scale of living
is subject to strict regulation. Any dis
play of wealth is frowned upon severely.

This is the second of t,Co articles on
the German system OF training officers

major IN the German army. and 10oS

yFI CAN make the Prussian officer
clear can make modern Germany
clear. For he is the embodiment
of all the governmental theories and
practices of his native land. The Prus-
sian officer is Germany.
There is nothing in this country that
corresponds to him. The government
of the United States is a civilian gov
ernment and an American army officer
is merely an official of one department
of the government, with no authority in
peace times outside of that department.
The Prussian army officer, on the CON
trary. is the direct agent of a national
government that is fundamentally mill
tary. He is or oficio policeman, detec-
tive and deputy sheriff. He cannot be
arrested He may stop traffic. railway
trains or other public conveyances and
is responsible for the consequences only

He is an autocrat. but he is equally a
slave. Coupled with his almost unlim-
tied authority goes an ironclad obliga-
ton to exercise it under given condi-
tions. His actions. public and private;
the clothes he wears, the wine he drinks,
his private expenditures. his betrothal
and marriage, his friendships and his
enmities-all these are regulated by
code. a code whose violation means dis
grace and heavy punishment.
In The Tribune Magazine of two
weeks ago | described the system of
training at Prussian military acade-
my. where the future officer spends his
Years between the ages of ten and
eighteen. When he emerges, sub-lleu
tenant. he has certain principles deeply
ingrained. He has learned to obey
orders unquestioningly and unemotion-
ally; he has been schOoed to face any
danger without show Of fear; he has
been taught to look upon the private sol
der as a pawn. not man, and upon
civilian as something less than that He
has learned the Prussian lesson and is
ready to be Prussian officer.
One year before his graduation from
the academy he chose the regiment to
which he wished to belong. His parents
then made sure, through strictly unOf-
fetal channels, that he would be accept
able to the other officers. Had there
been any objection to him ne would
have had to choose another regiment.
This custom is very strict. Not even
the Kaiser himself can burden regi-
ment with an unwelcome officer.
Once the young officer enters his regl-
ment he is completely under the domin-
ion of the code. To begin with, he must
have an allowance from home, the mini

the counting of the votes in Elm Springs township last Thursday A large vote was polled in that town ship; the ballot was long. and it too some time to finish the count. The News was over anxious to get the figures on Elm Springs, so that the paper might go to press at the proper time; the race for county treasurer was very close, and unde- cided. The editor of The News made many calls to Elm Springs en- deavoring to get the vote. Finally we received word that we couldn't get the figures, until they had been sent to Fayetteville" Just why, We haven't learned. Another pc culiar feature in connection with the election was the fact that the four wards of springdale, and the township were in long before any of the larger precincts in the county, and when We tell you that all part les were interested in hearing from Springdae, nd especially parties lat Fayetteville, we give it to you mildly.

PAPER AND INK SUPPLY

Unless relief is gained through some source the paper and ink SUD- lply situation will not be serious, but really grave, by next September.
 Prices of everything from paper and ink to twfne and glue have hit the ceiling ta the job printing busi- ness and unless something which the paper men can | scent nov happens, said prices will go right on out through the ceiling.
 Some inks. such as purple, cop per and heliotrope, have advanced more than 5000 per cent. Red. blue, green and yellow are up from 50 to I125 per cent and are still climbing. Ordinary grades of news and other black inks have advanced to loo per cent and nothing but still higher price is in sight by the manufacturers
 Copy ink, which formerly sold at ninety cents per pound had com p1etely disappeared from the mar ket and the efforts of the job print CTS. who have railroad contracts for printing, to get it are utterly fruit Jess.
 The constantly increasing prices have had a direct effect on the busi- ness of the job printers. Prices are quoted for immediate acceptance only.
 If you go into job shop and get price on piece of work, you can't say. as fn the past, Well, I'll go oat and see if I can get il cheaper. If not I'll return and give you the Job. -
 No, you can't do that {. more for the manager will take you by the arm and say, s"Wait minute, may not De able to make yen the same price tomorrow. Red ink may be up another loo per cent.
 Tie paper situation is even more serious. It takes paper 10 print newspapers and lots of it, too. Wher the readers have scanned the pages i O these papers they look upon then as so much waste to rid themselves Of in the most convenient manner.
 A possible result of this way oi re garding an old paper or magazine is that publishers will be unable 10 SC cure enough paper to get out theii full issues.
 Plper supply houses will net prom iise the same prices on delivery as those in the orders. One legal print Iery priced POO pounds of a certain grade of paper week ago.

 is the report: Each slop- barrel
