WHAT HUN RULE WOULD MEAN

There is no need to call upon the
imagination to find the meaning of
German victory. The world has seen
Belgium and to northern France; and
the world knows from the spokesman
Of Prussianism what the kaiser's rule
would do to tho rest OF mankind.
Nietzsche, who revived the cruel pol
icies of the ancient Huns, declared:
81 bring the new doctrine. Be pitt,
less" And at that he was only echo
ing the words of Bismarck who, dur
ing the Prussian war ordered
that the German armies should leave
to the conquered but their eyes to
weep with" The.kaiser himself has
said: Humanity ends at the from
tier" He did not need to say it,.
What his soldiers did when once
across the frontier proves most bru-
tally what "sypermen" will do when
turned upon helpless populations.
Tho frontier just now is in France.
But for the bravery and the sacrifice
OF the allies. that frontier today might
be somewhere In America. Nothing
else has saved the new world from
being rayaged by these blood-mad
people, whose minds from their youth
up have been incuIcated with the doc
trine of which Neitzsche boastcd.
Even the children OF Germany are
obsessed with the idea. as we may

AUTUMN.

Now, the blue-dull overcast
Tells the tale of Summer, past,
While a tear bedims my eye,
From the mists of by-and-by.
Winds, untempered, blow a gale;
Oak-leaves, sombre tinted, sail;
Darling swiftly through the air;
Whirling, tumbling, everywhere.
Mem'ry's furrow lines my brow,
For there comes, l know not how,
Something swifter, scarcely seen
Leaping all the years between.
Back to where the oak of truth
Full-eafed, in the orb Of youth
Beckoned, pleaded. called to me,
Yet / would not hear nor see.
After youth and sunny smiles,
Come the frowns of future-whiles,
And today, the call hear,
Has its answer, in the tear.
