 grown tired of hearing Germany praised for its brains. lie refers to this as follows:
 During the last few months 1 have heard the Germans arraigned as blat- ant, boorish, barbarOus, yet in nearly every case the speakers suftixed to their invectives such an expression as But when iG comes to brains you I will have to hand it to them; they have made science
 "Why hand 1t to them? What epoch making invention or discovery is ot German origin-except a stamp on which is inscribed, Made in Ger many?' Their scientists have kicked up a fair amount of spray as they gamboled in their pool, but the world has yet to hear of a mighty Teutonic splash. Time again French, English, American, Spanish. and Italian inven- tors and discoverers have sent tidal waves around the globe. Let us now be specific:
 No German Brains Tn Steam Engines
 'The steam engine has been called the greatest Of all inventions; it broke the shaclzles from slaves; 1t mingled the marts of the world. It made neighbOrs of the antipodes. Newcomer, a native of DevOnshlre, obtained a patent for the first par tially successful steam engine; Watt, a Scotchman, perfected 1t; Cuypot, Murdock and Trevitick brought for ward the locomotive, not on German soil; Stephenson, an Englishman, was the first to apply the locomotive steam engine to railways for passen- ger traffic; France, England and America applied it to navigation. When all had been completed Ger many pulled the whistle cordy shout ed, 'Hoch der kaiserp and tagged 1t made in Germany
 Didn't Invent Telegraph
 ''Ihe telegraph which brings us the daily history of the world, was in vented by an American, Prof. Morse, who also suggested the Atlantic cable, which was subsequently, laid by that American merchant-sCientist, Cyrus Field, assisted in 'mooring the new world alongside of the old by Lord Kelvin, the prince of physicists, a British subject Graham Bell, the chief inventor of the telephone, was born in Scotland and grew to fame in America. A young Italian, Marconi, [ gave wireless telegraphy to the world. The house of Hohenzoliern has made . great use of these inventions in tell ing Great Britain, America and Italy in arrogant verbiage what the water land has done for Jne benighted peO- 1 pies ot the earth.
 This Machinery Not Made in Germany
 Cyrus Mccormick, a native of Vir- ginia, produced the reaping machine which harvests the food of the world Meillle of England brought forth the threshing machine. Thus was famine banished. Eli Whitney, of Massachu- setts parentage, invented the cotton gin; Hargraves, an Englshman, madd the spinning jenny; Arkwright, also English, supplied it's efficiency with his famous spinning frame; the Englishman Kay introduced the fly shuttle in weaving; Brunei, who de- vised the knitting machine, and Cart wright, inventor of the power loom, were British citizens. Thus was the world clothed.
 | Other Countries Made War Inventions
 Although Germany is militaristic and worships at the shrine of Mars, what votive offering has she made to the god of war. It was not she who contributed guncotton, gun powder, smokeless powder, percussion cap, ni- troglycerin, dynamite, torpedo, shrap- mel, automatic cannon, magazine rifle, breech-loading gun, Gatling gun, re- volver, Maxim silencer, hammerless guns, gunboat, ironclad battery or ship, armor plate, revolving turret, submarine or airplanes.
 And Prosperity Devices
 "Since Germany borrowed her mili- tary appliances from other nations, we are not surprised that she obtain ed her devices of prosperity from the same source. She did not po- duce the first analine dyes, vulcan ized rubber, liquid gases, gas engine, water gas, thermometers, barometer, pianoforte, barbed wire, cut nails, plate glass, circular saw, cable car, electric car, sleeping car, air brake, bicycle, automobile, pneumatic tire, sewing machine, typewriter, calculat- ing machine, cash register, steel writ ing pen, ct cetera infinitum.
 Lights Came from America, France
 and England
 "The greatest thing Germany has done is to falsely advertise herself as the light of the world. No son of her invented the electric light, the gas light, the searchlight, the acetylene light, the kerosene light, the flash light, the safety lamp, the candle dip oy. tha friction Y,,otob A r,oa1.ica
