"The Land of Luther, Kant and
Goethe"

The "Vossische Zeitung," denouncing
Mr.. Wilson's appeal to the neutral nations,
says: 1.-THE purpose of this invitation is
nothing less than to bring about the in
ternational ostracism of Germany, the
land of Luther, Kant and Goethe"
What an unfortunate list of names with
which to. back up Germany's present policy
of murder and outrage! Do the Germans
themselves imagine that any one Of their
great historic thinkers would have sup
ported this Won Tirpitz terrorism? Moth
ing could better serve to point out the con-
trast between the old Germany, which we
all loved and admired, and this new Ger
many, which now menaces mankind; moth
ing could reveal more clearly how far Ger
many has fallen from her own national
tradition of greatness than to remind us
at this time of the Germany of Luther,
Kant apd Goethe.
Martin Luther was one Of the worlds
great liberators He spent no small part
of his life in open hostility to that very
reactionary monarchy with which Lu-
theran Germany is now allied. The move
nnent which he started contained the seeds
Of the modern democracy against which
Prussianism now makes war.
Emmanuel Kant was thorough demo-
crat, over whose desk hung the picture Of
Jean Jacques Rousseau. He was a friend
and supporter of the revolutionists in
America and France and lifelong apostle
of liberty, justice and humanity. Goethe
was an internationalist, leading spirit in
the worldwide republic of letters, whose
literary circle at Weimar lived on through
those stormy days Of Napoleon and
Butcher in supreme indifference to the
clash of arms, royalist plots and sordid
nationalist ambitions. The "Vossische
Zeitung" would be among the first to-day
to denounce Goethe as "unpatriotic."
The Germany Of Krupp efficiency, Bis
MARKHAM statecraft and Junker snobbish-
ness has turned away old Germany's last
friend. Nothing less than these months
Of Prussian stupidity and terrorism could
have convinced us that the old Central
Europe, where hospitality, song and in
tellectual freedom mad reigned so long, no
longer existed. We would still like to be-
lieve that this modern Germany, shut off
by its brutal folly from the rest Of hu-
manity, with the Hapsburg and the Turk
as its only friends, is not the only Ger
many there is. If we, too, are forced by
Prussian insolence to draw the sword it
is TO be hoped we may be spared from that
mistake which some Of Germany's enemies
have made in beittling the good which
the Germany Of Luther, Kant and Goethe
has really accomplished. Truth and Beauty
are essentially human; they could not be
ostracized if we tried. In protecting our
rights against the madness Of the Kaiser
we shall really be on the side Of that
other human Germany which once VIC re-
spected--thc Germany not only Of Luther
and Kant and Goethe but Of Humboldt
and Hegcl, Of Schiller and Heine, Of Hol-
bein and DGrer, of Beethoven and Schu-
bert and Wagner--the Germany which
inspired Carlyle and gave Carl Schurz 20

If all We who are slain

Only TO twist again
The old kaleidoscope
Why then, by God! we're sold!
Cheated and wronged! betrayed!
Our youth and lives and gold
Wasted--the homes we'd made
Shattered in folly blind,
By treachery and spite,
BY cowardce of mind
And little men and light
If there be none to build
Out Of this ruined world

Then may my soul and those

Rise and come back again
From peace that knows no end,
From faith that knows not doubt,
To haunt and scar and rend
The men that sent US out.

low could eventually get all the ar ticles together by patience and per severance, but the, tids little bag, coming as it does from genuine friends and accompanied, I am sure, by kind wishes, makes a gift to be priZed as real keepsake.
 The main topic of conversation here is the rumored moving of the Arizona drafted men to Linda Vista California. | hardly think this will materialize. The first a per cent from Arizona comprise the 340th regiment of field artillery. They are quartered in permanent barracks constructed at the extreme south east corner of the camp and the stables are being rushed to compile tion. | think there is little probabili ty of their moving when this is taken trto consideration.
 The camp as q whole is clean and healthy. The damp cold weather has played havoc with the Arizona continent. If a person would walk into our barracks some night they would mistrust that they were in d building housing some of Uncle Sam's very best fighting men. It would he very easy to make them be- !ieve that they were in the tubercu- lar ward of some hospital. Practi- cally everyone has a cold.
 The government is sparing no ef- fort or expense to get things ill such a shape as to provide for comfort ana warmth of the men during the severe cold which is sure to overtake us shortly.
 Thanking you once more for my kit and assuring you that your kindness is appreciated by the other members of the trio as well, re- main.
 Sincerely.

HOOVER IN PROTEST
Objects to Coal Priority Over
Food on Railroads.
Shows Necessity of Moving Perisha'
bIes in Statement Following Ac-
ton of Food Administration.

Washington, Dec. 3. - President
Wilson's new American war council,
less than a week old, has seen its
first clash.
Herbert C. Hoover, food administra-
tor, openly took issue with DR.. H. A.
Garfield, fuel administrator, on the
question of priority in shipping orders
for railroads of the country. Mr..
Hoover says nothing should be placed
ahead of food.
DR.. Garfield has asked Judge Lovett,
priority director, for an order calling
on the railroads to handle coal and
coke and empty coke cars in prefer
ence to all other freight commodities.
He based the request on the fact that
the country is reported to have only
about five or six days supply of coal
ahead of the day to day needs. AS
soon as he had made the request, he
wired to A. w. Thompson, chairman
of the railway committee handling
traffic problems in the East, at Pitts
burgh, asking that the committee i'm
mediately give coal and coke prefer
ence, without waiting for the prior
ity order from Judge Lovett.
Later Chairman Thompson wired
that DR.. Garfeld's wishes were being
met.
A few hours after it became known
that DR.. Garfield had practically taker
over the railroads in his determined
effort to avoid an actual coal famine
Mr.. Hoover issued a statement disap
proving any priority that gives coal
coke or any other commodity absolute
right of way over foodstuffs on rail
roads.

REPEAT BELGIAN ACTS
Teutons Invading Italy Accused
of Barbarism.
Invaders Place Women and Children

Washington, Dec. g. Semi-official
dispatches from Rome say that all the
oppressive measures which character
ized the German invasion of Belgium
snd many of the acts of barbarism
which revolted the civilized world, are
.ow being practiced by the Austro-
erman invaders of Italy,
Near Zenson, the dispatches say,
the invaders placed Italian women
nd children before their troops as
hey advanced and the Italian soldiers
we're compelled to sacrifice their in.
nocent countrymen. In the Friuli re-
sion, war taxes, acquisitions and con-
scriptlon of labor is being practiced
as it was in Belgium and Northern
France. Austro-German prisoners
tell of Italian noncombatants being
massacred by the invading troops.
Loot from Italian homes and shops
has been found on the bodies of dead
troops. Soldiers ON the Piave declare
they hear the screams of women and
children from the opposite side of the
river
The invading armies have taken
away cattle and other property and
burned household furniture for their
bivouac fires at night Bosnian troops,
the dispatches say, have committed
unnamable atrocities

With the British Armies in France,
Crown Prince Rupprecht at General
Byngs new front failed to net any
considerable gain. The battle is con
tinuing.
Al one time the Germans forced
the British back two miles at certain
points.
Tanks were called into action by
General Byng.
As this dispatch was cabled the
Germans advance did not stand at
more than $500 yards. They were
thrown Sack from thoir furthermost
gains with bloody icsses.
Byng's Troops Pushed Back.
London, Dec. 3.-General Byngs
troops have been pushed back at sew
eral points by the Germans in vlo-
lent offensive over the entire front
where the British had made their
notable gains.
Especially severe was the attack
between the Bourbon wood and Moeu-
vres, where the British line held un.
der the impetus and repulsed all at
tacks north of the Bapaume-Cambrai
road. On the southern base the en-
emy drove through from Gonnelieu to
Gouzeaucourt-a Astance of two
miles. The village of Lavacquerie
was captured by the Germans, but
later in counter attack was recov-
cred.
Other counter attacks have 6''~-"0
the enemy from Gouzeaucourt and the
ridge to the east.
Hard sighting is still in progress
over the greater portion of the IL
mile front.
Vigorous Resistance by British.
British Army Headquarters In
France, Dec. 3.-The Germans deliv
cred a pretentious assault in force on
the British positions between Bourbon
wood and Moeuvres toward the west
Under cover of artillery fire the Ger
mans in their first rush pushed over
the crest of the ridge vest of the
wood and down to the vicinity of the
Bapaume- Cambria road, just north o.
Graincoqlt.
The British, after the first shock
organized counter attack and fiuns
themselves against the advancing Ger
mans. Later it was reported that the
British had succeeded in pushing bacl
the enemy, although the latter was re
sisting flercely.
All day a concentration Of German
guns, which had been rushed up TO
the attack, have been pounding th'
British forward and back areas and
considerable amount of gas shells ha
been thrown. The battle west of Boul
lon wood was still continuing wit
great fierceness.

London, Dec. 3.-ReSolutions deplor-

Declaring firm adherence to the war
aims of the Allies, as defined by the

quith it was decided that the resolu
tions should be wired to the premier
and Mr. Balfour at Paris.
Great Enthusiasm.
A scene of great enthusiasm ensued,
the delegates rising and singing the
national anthem. Bonar Law deliv-
cred a speech in which he admitted
that he had never met anyone more
patriotic or disinterested than the
Marquis of Lansdowne. Nevertheless,
Mr. sonar Law said 81 disagree abso-
lutely, not with the arguments, but
with the whole tone of the letter. 1t
is not that we do not desire peace.
1t is horrible to look forward to a
continuance of the war, but it Is a
strange assumption that because the
Germans declare their readiness for a
pact of nations and talk of disarma-
ment that peace therefore is possible
Before the war our government
did not dare suggest disarmament t.
Germany. They often went near it,
but the Germans regarded it almost az
casus belli, and before the wal
books recommending disarmament
were prohibited in Germany and | be
lieve they are prohibited to this day.
"You heard nothing of this kind OF
thing in the first and second years oi
the war when things were not going
| we'll in Germany. Ii the conclusion oi
peace were conceivable 1t would mean
that the very men who in my judg
ment committed the greatest crimes in
history, who plunged the world into
anguish and misery, would be left
again in power with the same ma
chinery, ready to repeat the same
thing when sportunity rose in the fu
