GERMAN HYPOCRISY.

\ contemporary truly says there
never was greater hypocrisy IN the
world than the German pretense OF
being obliged to fight in defense OF
their country because they were at
tackled?
WAR is the only means" wrote DR..
W. Fuchs in Die Post, of Berlin, jan
uary 2S, 1912, 'tkat can today save
the Germans as a nation from I'M
ninent physical and psychlcal en-
feeblament and degradation lie
continued: I'VE all know that blood
is certain to flow, and the longer
we wait the more there will be"
The German Defense Association
was formed in January. 1913, and IN
March General WIochem explained
its purpose: "A progressive nation
like ours needs more territory, and
if this cannot be obtained by peace
able means it must be obtained by
war. 1t is the ohject Of the Defense
Association TO create this sentiment"
In October. 1913, one Of the leaders
Of Young Germany wrote in its Of
fetal organ: war is the nohlest
and hottest expression Of human ac-
tivity. For MS, 100, the glad, great
hour of battle will strike. War is
beautiful"
In April. 1913, the editor of the

have at last eXtorted from the Chan

fighting for conquests. This has
long been suspected. among even
the most docile Germans. AS far
back as last August DR.. f. Naumann
in Die Hilfe urged a campaign to
combat the growing SkepsciSm OF
soldiers and the people at home re-
garding the defensive war. They
have rather the gloomy suspicion that
a policy of conquest, over and above

UARDSHlPS OF 4 REFORMER.
philadelphia Record)

i In almost any business there are
neriods when extra work Is ncces-
sary, and if these are not too pro-
loneed the employees do not suffer
| from responding to the need, and they
do not think of complaining unless 4
reformer comes along and explains -
them how they are being ground un-
der the iron heel or something OF
other. and then they generally pro-
test against being rescued from ut
tie overwork unless assured that
their earnings will not be affected.
\ good many rcformers have plumed

| crs from an hour or two Of work only
To be astonishel at the malcdictions

ingS proportionately reduced. 1t is
perfectly true that the hours ace
sometimes reduced without reducing
the output, and sometimes increased
with no profit to the employer; hut
these involve Il set Of conditions
that have no place III cases where
there is temporary ovcrwork in

The sorrows of The reformcr who

Gently achieved the reform of the
Bureau of Engraving. where great
many women are employed. and
where she was shocked to find them
working more than eight hours. The
production of an enormous number OF
Liberty Loan bonds was the occasion
for overworking the people in the
bureau. and in the nature Of the case
that occasion would be temporary.
But Congressional Rankin recog-
nized a great principle which was
not affected by the greater or less
duration of the need of extra work.
She found that women employed in
the bureau were working more than
eight hours, and she went to the
Secretary of the Treasury about it.
A Secretary always listens attentive
" to CongreSswoman and general
ly to mere Congressman The over
work was stopped. Employment was
limited to eight hours day for six
days a week.
As most of the work is piece work,
the reduction of Sine had its counter
part in reduction of money, thus
the ancient adage of the
Identity of time and money. The i'm
mediate result was meeting of 900
emp .oyees of the bureau. men and
women. who protested against being |
restricted in their hours of work. and,
incidentally, in their compensation.
They asked the Secretary to rescind
