GERMAN DEVOTION TO.
THE KAISER.

Many people have asked the
question, "What ia their in the
German government to arouse
such devotion in the German
people?' One would suppose it
to be just the sort of govern
ment that would be deserted.
Americans remember how those
great-hearted Prnssians, Schurz
and Sigel, afterwards good Ame-
ricans, risked their lives to over
throw Prussian despotlsm. And
Prussian despotism is the fonn-
dation Of German antocracy.
But the present day Prussian
seems contented with his chains,
and even to glory in them.
Some light Is thrown on this
subject BY Mr.. Gerard, who was
American Ambassador at Berlin
before and after the outbreak of

WAR TINE DEMAND FOR
.COTTONIs ENORMOUS.

Recent investigations in the
use of cotton in war show:
A 12-inch gun disposes of a
half bale of cotton with every
shot fired; a machine gun in
operation will use a bale in three
minutes: in a naval battle like
the one off Jutland over 5000
pounds a minute are consumed
by each active warship; more
than 10000 bales year al )

the European war. In his BOOK
"My four years in Germany "a
book which all Americans should
read. Mr.. Gerard tells how, from
very early years, every German
child is mis- educated to believe
that Germany is the only good
country in the world, and lite
government the only right one.
This mis-education begins at
four years of aye and continues
through life. The teachers in
the schools are all paid by the
Emperor's government and are
not allowed even to hint that the
government is not perfect. The
only ideas taught or permitted
are euch as the German govern
ment wishes it's people to be-
lieve. There are no Saturday
holidays on which German boys
can get together and exchange
their own ideas. All their games
and walks are supervised by
their state paid teachers, who
are always telling them how per-
feet the German government is
and how great and good and
glorious is their Kaiser.
On Sunday the Prussian boy

ed over by his state paid teach
er to state paid pastor of the
German Lutheran church. The
pastor keeps on with the same
lesson and brings divine author
ity or so the boy has been taught
to believe to reinforce what the
day school has taught him of rov
erence for kaiserism.,
With .such education, begun
at SO early an age and not inler-
npted by any contradiction, few
Germans grow up with any
doubts that kaiselism is the sum
of all good. The few who do
doubt, and speak their doubts,
are thrown into prison for
"lease-majeste" and their busi-
ness or political or educational
careers are ruined.
There is no doctrine in poll
tics or religion or medicine or
any other branch Of thought SO
false and absurd but people will
believe it if it has been taught
them long enough, beginning
with infancy. The Prussian boy
first, and then the Prussian man,
has all his outlook on life twist
ed and warped by this narrow
ing and unfair sort fo education.
He loses the power to be a
free, thinking being, and be-
comes . cog in one of the wheels
of kaiserism's machinery. In
this view the Prussian people
are more to be pitied than blam-
ed for the bad position in which
they are now placed before the
world. Current Events.

as consequence cetton sold at

the short wheat crop this year
we have something like 100 mil

States. 1t happens that Europe

but very much more, but if we
had accepted Germsny's dicta.
tion and were to aend only one
ship week to Europe, that 100
million bushels above our own
needs would be surplus which
would carry the price of wheat
below the cost of production.
The right to use the seas is the
right to buy and sell in the mar
kets OF the world. To be de
MED that right is to ee compel
led to live UPON our own re-
sources. OF course we can do
that in this wonderful country
but we can prosper as a nation
and as individuals only by trad
ing our surplus OF products for
the surplus Of products which
other people have to sell. If
for instance, our farmers could
sell no more cotton or wheat than
is needed in this country many
farmers would be compelled to
quit raising cotton and wheat
and would use their lands for
other farm products and thereby
they would cause surplus pro-
dnction in all farm products.
To have accepted Germany $
dictation therefore, would have
been to put our agriculture in a
state OF complete snffocation by
taking from every farmer the
value of what he produced above
what he needed for his own con-
sumption.
The same power that would
forbid our exports would also in
self interst forbid our imports OK
cept in the interest Of that pow
er. Therefore to have yielded
to Germany's dictation would
have restricted US to imports
from Germany alone and would
have made US pay tribute for all
time to her industries.
Ii we had acquiesced in the
limitation of one ship a week we
would have conceded the right
of Germany to regulate our eS-
ports and imports as she migoG
see fit now or hereafter. We
had the choice of submitting
to that dictation or of fighting
to maintain our right to sell and
to buy wherever we might sell
or buy to advantage. 1t is con-
ceivable that an American citi-
zen, regardless OF his material
interests. could yield to such
dictation by foreign power but
on the low plane material inter-
ests we had to fight Germany or

WAR TINE FARM PRICES.
Gcrmany's Limitation Of Ship
ping Would Have Put Them be-
low cost of Production.
By Clarence Ously
Assistant Secretary Of Agricul-
ture.

II has been lightly asserted
that the American farmer has
no material interest at stake 10
the war with Germany. Let us
see. Those who think that there
is nothing in the American cause
except the privilege OF pleasure
seekers to travel on passenger
ships to Europe must have for
gotten the specific condition up
on which Germany offered to
permit American chipping.
without reviewing the tragic
events which caused the death
OF 226 American citizens inclnd.
ing women and children, with.
out even considering the four
sepa rate and distinct promises
Of Germany in effect not to sink
ships without safeguarding the
lives OF passengers and crews,
let it be recalled that in her dec
laration OF purpose OF January
81, 1917, to extend the subma-
zine zone to Great Britain,
France and Italy and therein TO
sink all ships regardless Of flag
cargo, she offered to this coun-
try as special favor the privi-
lege of sending one steamer a
week each way to the port OF
Falmouth, England, upon con-
dition that it should be striped
with three stripes each meter
wide, white red alternating, and
upon the further condition tina.
q guaranty be given that such
ships should not carry contra
band.
Perhaps one ship week each
way would accommodate the pleas
ure seekers but how much OF
our export and import business
would it accomodates
In the fiscal year ending June
30, we exported to Europe farm
products to the value of 81, 1,l23,-
651, 1885.
Let us consider the two items
of cotton and wheat. The cot
ton consists 9,124 ,591 bales. The
cotton alone would require at
the rate of 10000 bales to the
ship more than 900 ship cargoes.
, AS there are only 81 weeks in
the year, il will be seen how
long it would take ship week
to move the cotton alone. The
wheat consisted of 81, 602,974
bushols. It will be an interest
ing calculation for the children
to figure out how many cargoes
of $500 tons each would be re-
quired to move this wheat to
Europe and how long it would
take at the rate Of one cargo .
week.
As to these two main products
and as to other farm products,
not to speak of manufactured
products, their commercial val
ne depends upon the foreign
market. without Q foreign
market for cotton, for instance,
even this year with the probable
crop Of only - million bales we
have for export something like
five million bales above the
American consumption Of ap
proximately seven million bales.
If we could not export cotton,
! therefore, we would have . sur
plus Of 5 million bales and that
surplus would cause cotton to de
cline from the present high
! price Of 26 or ~ cents pound to
a price far below the cost of
production. AS illustrative OF
this point it is necessary only TO-
recall the conditions in 1914
when at the beginning Of the
war shipping was uncertain and
