IS GERMANY CRUMBLING?

First reports of the ministerial npheaval in Ger
many, going so far the circulation OF
rumor that the Kaiser had abdicated in favor of
intimating very strongly that Germany was in
the midst of internal difficulties, are being over
come now by later dispatches which appear to
bear out the assertion that the Kaiser has staked
everything his militarists, that the ministerial
change is after all only stall, " that the same
ruthless hand rules and the war will be fought to
the finish
This probablM is the proper view OF the situa-
ton. The German people, having patiently wait
ed for the long.promised victory, having been re-
assured from month to month that the submarines
had brought England almost to her knees, are
beginning to see the light now, are beginning to
ask why nearly the whole world is arrayed
against them and are beginning to think that
they must put their house in order
The Kaiser will be able to suppress the present
agitation, in all probability it would be too
much to expect the peoples first assertive effort
to succeed. And he may be able to suppress the
second, but the time is coming when he is bound
to lose his grip Therein lies the hope of war
torn world.
Out of all the conflicting and inconclusive
reports concerning the German crisis this one fact
stands forth clearly and distinctly: the imperial
government is now on the defensive at home.
Germany is already beaten in this war so far as
the original objects of it are concerned, and the
German people are beginning to realize it. When
they understand it thoroughly, peace will not be
far distant

INDUSTRIAL DISTURBANCES.

Street car strikes in Tacoma and Seattle, at
tempted strikes of shingleweavers generally, and
in the logging camps and lumber mills OF the
state-these do not look right, from whatever
standpoint you may view it, in the face OF the
boasted promises Of cooperation made only few
short weeks ago by employers and labor leaders
generally. The theory, the promise, or whatever
you want to call it, of intention to adjust indus
trial questions amicably during the war crisis to
the end that the nations best and full energies
could be expended in the international task at
hand has failed when the concrete situation
arose
Why? Were these protestations of a few weeks
ago mere ''bunk9' Isn't labor and capital,
we find it in our own state anyhow. even going to
make the pretense of cooperating in the greatest
crisis in the nations history Are going to
be subjected to the turmoil the delays the vexa-
tions that harassed England during the early days
of the war? Are going to tie our own hands,
But there's almost end to such questions
questions that inevitably crop up in the mind of
the ordinary American who is watching these
things as they happen. And the blame seems to
rest just as heavily upon those employers who
rejected the mediation offers Of the state and the
federal government as it does upon those labor
organizations which can perhaps be rightly ac-
cused of seeking to force something out of their
employers when they think those employers are
in position where they cannot help themselves.
In other words neither side is displaying the
proper spirit in actual practice and the public
isn't going to have much patience with them 1t
is going to demand that they settle their differ
ences somehow without interference with their
industries or the public interests and welfare.
And it is going to demand that right soon-it is
moi going to stand for industrial strife.

WHAT HAPPENED IN OLYMPIA AND
STATE TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO

From The Washington Standard for
Friday evening, July 22, 1892.
Vol. XXXH. No. IS.
In response to the very general ex-
preston Of citizens that insurance
rates we're much higher than circum-
stances warranted, H. c. Parkhurst
of Portland, surveyor of the Pacific
Insurance Union. visited our city this
week and examined very carefully
the grounds for arriving at Just
basis of rates for all classes of prop
|erty.
The Bank of Shelton has suspend
cd. It has been In weak condition
for some time and this result was
not anticipated. 1t is thought that
depositors wifi lose about $4,000.
The old political parties Of this
city have shaken hands on all work
to be done up to that time when the
bugles sound an advance. They pro-
pose to entertain both conventions In
the same hall, to use the same deco
rations as far as practicable, and to
accord assistance to each other In
preparing accommodations for guests.
Our local lumber mills have con-
tributed their portion of the lumber
to be used in the construction of the
Washington building at the Worlds
Fair.
The Inauguration of. the electric
street railway system in Olympia
marks another epoch in the progress
of the capital city. The first car
passed over the track Of the Olympia
Light & Power Co. yesterday after
noon at 1880 o'clock, with Superin-
tendent Shock at the electric lever.
The passengers on that memorable
occasion, besides the writer, were
Geo. D. Shannon, Robert Frost, Geo.
L. Sickels. Thomas Henderson Boyd.
| c. T. Whitney. A. S. Gillis and l.. B.
Faulkner. The car, soon as the cur
rent was turned on. moved like
thing of life. smoothly and without
friction or jar, and responded readily
to the will of its master as If endowed
with reason. People appeared on the
street and at doors and windows all
along the route and waved hats and
handkerchiefs in greeting of this new
and tangible evidence of progress.
The cars will be five in number, three
closed and two open. They possess
every improvement up to date. They
will run to Tumwater at least every
hour and give a seven-minute service
in this city. The cars are nowI en-
gagged in finishing and ballasting the
roadbed. When this is done the reg
ular service will begin, probably
within ten days, and in that time II
is hoped three of the cars, still en-
route. will arrive.

THE CALL TO DUTY.

Within the next few days the actual drawing
of numbers which will call to duty the first con
tngent of America great selective army will
take place after many weeks of preparation. Six
hundred and eighty-seven thousand of the young
men of the country. physically the cream of our
population, are to respond to this first call and
these. with the national guard and the regulars
will give the United States army of more than
q million men, ready to make the world "safe for
democracy.
The success of the draft will largely depend, of
course upon the intelligence and patriotism of
those of us who are subject to it. Every one who
registered should be well aware by now of the
fact that there is presumption of his fitness for
duty. By now he must also realize that if drawn
he must respond and if not exempted he is under
the highest obligation to take his place in the
ranks. This means that the enrolment will not
be prompt and complete without the cordial, even
enthusiastic cooperation of each one Of the nine
million, six hundred thousand men who regis
tered.
We young Americans are now awaiting our op-
portunty, the greatest opportunity that can
come to mantle opportunity to devote our
energies, our talents, perhaps our lives, to the
promotion of liberty, justice and humanity, the
right Of free peoples everywhere to have their
my in their own government And while we are
waiting let us realize this fact clearly the gov
eminent is not forcing Young America into the
army, but rather is selecting those who shall be
permitted to serve, who shall be called to this
great human service. Not all of us can 60

disability some exempted because Of the circum-
stances in which they may be situated-so that
those who do 60 have q privilege the others have

And it is = privilege-the world is in turmoil

Of our making and we fought it of as long as we
dared, until the conviction grew upon us that a
victorious Germany meant an iron-ruled world
and serious attack upon our integrity and indie
pendence. Then we saw our duty for humanity
and the world and sprang eagerly to it. The
events Of the months since we became involved
have strengthened us in that vision
So we look forward to the actual draft of the
new army with the calm, determined recognition
Of duty to be done, not for ourselves alone but
for MI people, duty which we dared not shirk
duty which win remake the world and the lives
Of the generations to come.

sonable delay, declared:
Don't let them-don't let them lost faith
Nobody knows what / am up against here
Nobody knows the forces have to fight

food bill is held up. If it isn't passed soon
am going to the country and tell the people

most shameful exhibition of chicanery revolt

thought they elected them.
