Can the plot of the novelist, ingeniously in
venting situations, lead up to a climax portray
ing more brazen effrontery than this effort of a
supposedly neutral diplomat at Washington?
What new disclosure of Teutonic trickery and
deceit will Washington publish next to expose
the everlasting shame of the Kaiser's representa-
tives in this country?
The roll of Teutonic shame in this country is
unparalleled? Vaccinations to induce Mexico to
attack us from the rear, overtures to Japan to
move against our insular possessions, explosions
and arson to wreck our industrial plants and i'm
peril the lives of our workers, money spent to
ganize societies assailing our government, and
now studied movement to bribe our national
legislators, sanctioned and approved by the I'm
perial Government
Can the American people resolve on anything
less than complete overthrow of the Hohenzol.
lern dynasty and the war lords? Will this world
be safe for democracy so long as powerful gov.
ernment stoops to such methods and still has the
unmitigated audacity to proclaim its innocence
to the world?
The Bernstorff incident ought to arouse this
country to realization of the true extent of the
autocracy against which it is battling.

The Bows Are Off

Richmond's first contingent, preceded by a
skeleton squad few weeks ago, sis off for the
training camp
The city turned out to wish the boys good
luck and success. There were tears and heart
aches in the crowd that watched the boys pull
out of the Pennsylvania station Many mother
is today fighting the grim battle against fear
and suspense.
It is only natural that fathers and mothers
should feel downcast when their sons leave home.
This holds true not only w1ben the boys leave
home for military training, but also when they
depart for peaceful pursuits
And yet the American mother today is not a
whit worse off than thousands of mothers in war
SCARED Europe. Boys have been marching away
from home in the countries across the Atlantic
for three years. Many of the lads of Great Brit
ain and France went into battle with poor equip
ment and insufficient training. Americas young
men will not be handicapped by these deficien-
cies Our boys will go to- France and Belgium
trained to fight and to take care of themselves.
In the farewell hour it is well for us to remen-
Der the truth that this life is not all sunshine
and roses. There are dark and gloomy days. The
man and woman of heroic character accepts the
vicisstudes of life with composure and resigna-
ton.
Every privilege winch we ENJOY entails ana
brings with it responsibility. It is a high
privilege to be an American citizen. Commen-
surate with this privilege is high duty to de-
fend the principles on which our government is
founded. If the theory of republican government
is good one, it is worth while fighting for. If
our souls do not pulsate with patriotism exalted
enough to battle for human rights, we are recre-
ant to our duty and base traitors to govern
ment for which Washington fought and for which
Lincoln laid down his life
Every mother in Richmond would be proud
to be the mother of Washington or Lincoln She
scorns the privilege when she bemoans the inter-
national crisis that called her son to battle for the
very principles that made Washington and Lin
coin men of such towering significance in history
that Great Britain and France today are proud
to worship at their shrnes.
