! cording to investigations which were
duly carried out, the above named per.
son died of starvation"
To which the Textilarbeiter added
the terrible thought: "Aauptig is not
the first nor will he be the last mem
Der of the textile workers union to
die of starvation"
This simple item, with it's plain
truths, gives the lie to the announce
ments of the Prussian masters that
Germany has enormous resources and
her food supply is holding out well.
A land in which the resources are
ample is not a land in which an indus
trious worker wanders the fields and
dies of starvation like a neglected dog.
= No wonder VOrwaerts, socialist
organ of Germany which sometimes
dares to hint at the truth, said in
recent issue:
1.-The present internal conditions in
Germany remind one of the festive
horseman immortalized in the Fliegen-
de Blaetter who, being asked, Meyer,
where are you riding tor frankly re-
piled, How do | know? Ask the
horse.
I'VE ask, QUO vadis Germania'?"
Now the socialists are not the only
ones who are asking whittier Germany
is going. 1t is being asked sullenly,
savagely, timidly or worriedly, as the
case may be, by everyone in kaiser
dom. All recognize that the breaking
point may be reached. T here is a
stage beyond which even Germans
will not endure. Wars have some
times ceased because the people have
absolutely refused to prosecute them
any longer Dynasties have sometimes
been toppled into the dust because
people have refused to starve any
longer.
That is what is worrying the Hohen-
zollern outfit. They are not winning
abroad and they fear conditions at
home Hence their strenuous efforts
to end the war before winter, before
defeat, before a starved and frozen
people may find the courage to drive
them from their thrones.

STICKING TO THE ROAD.

They started even on the road OF
life. 1t was in valley. One insisted
upon climbing a hill adjoining to see
the goal ahead. The other plOdded
along.
"Why don't you come with me onto
the height to find out what your goal
is ?" the climber asked.
"Whatever the goal, I'm headed to-
ward it, answered the plodder
How do you know you are on the
right road?" the climber questioned.
Because it is the only road" the
plodder said.
The climber was ambitious. lie
wanted to see ahead. He was always
leaving the road to ascend adjoining
hills to study his goal and see whether
he was approaching it rapidly enough.
That was all right But the road
wound around. And at every turn the
ambitious climber left the path to
spend day in toilsome search for a
short cut He wearied himself by his
spurts of ambition, and had to take
frequent rests.
The plodder had no ambition, in
particular. But he stuck to the road.
And when he reached the goal he
understood what it was, and enjoyed
it, without knowing really how he had
arrived
To be a plodder is not the highest,
not the truest greatness
But it is better than being the sort
of climber who is always trying to
get out of work hunting short cuts.
"A few geniuses will beat the plod-
der. Most men are not geniuses. And
the plodder will beat all the rest OF
them

SUBSTITUTES FOR MATCHES.

At the Port Royal Is. c. training
station they are teaching marines how
to make fire without matches.
The primitive flint and steel have
been revived.
Also, United States marines who
have served in the Philippines can
start a fire without either matches or
flint and steel simply by splitting a
hollow piece of bamboo, stufting it
with dry moss, and drawing a stick
to and fro across it as a violinist
bows a violin.
And-United States marines in
France, if they find themselves with
out matches, without flint and steel
and without bamboo, expect to be re-
sourceful enough to nit upon some
other substitute.
"Aha!" is heard the chirp of the
'pacifist,' "see how war drives men
back to the moods and methods OF
barbarism!"
The usual pacifst horsepower of
brain force!
The savage who first made fire sent
the world thousands OF years ahead
on its progress from barbarism to
civilization, He was a benefactor,
worthy to compare with any man.
There was only one thing wrong
with him. He didn't know what to
do with his fire when he had it. He
learned slowly fires uses-is still
learning.
The United States marines will
know what to do with their fire.
And by making fire-with matches
if they have them, with flint or la m.
boo if necessary-they may this by
brushing off the face of the earth the

Farmers of this section should read
Prof. Bolley's article in today's Trio.
une This is a crucial time for the
grain growers of the northwest. They
must not be swayed by poor advisors.
1t is just as we'll for the farmers to
wait until the government definitely
decides upon the distribution of this

uncertain and badly disturbed market.

in getting just pri> ) for his products.

JUSTICE RoBINsONs LETTERS.

JUSTICE ROBINSON'S IE Enc,
There has been some criticism from
the bench and the bar of The Trib-
une's policy of publishing Justice Rob
inson's Saturday evening letters. The
Tribune is seeking to give its readers
the news and believes that these let
tiers are unique.
OF course The Tribune and Justice
Robinson are not always in accord,
and the publication Of his letters need
not confuse The Tribune's readers.
They are signed by Justice Robinson,
and he fathers these children of his
brain. In no sense are the sentiments
always those of The Tribune's, and
Justice Robinson publishes them in
The Tribune columns knowing full
we'll that they are merely his own
expressions
This explanation is made in justice
to the author of these Saturday night
epistles as well as to allay the feel.
ings of those who may think their
publication is slur on the judiciary
The Tribune is an open forum for
its readers and it welcomes at all
times communications from, the bench
and the bar If Justice RObinsons let
tiers irritate unduly or call for an
swers, the Tribune will publish such
replies as conspicuously as the con
tributions of Justice Robinson.

WHY GERMANY WANTS PEACE.

WHY GERMANY WANTS PEACE.
The reasons why Germany would
like to have peace at :ne present time
are manifold. Aside from the fact
that she is stronger now than she will
ever be again during this war, that
she is now making war in enemy ter
ritory and holds vast reaches of Bel
gian, French, Russian, Serbian and
Rumanian lands there are conditions
at home that make it wise, if not i'm
perative, that the war come to an
early end.
The Germans are docile and disci-
plined people. They love a ruler and
master. They apparently delight in
being forbidden to do all manner OF
things. They have too wholesome
respect for the kaiser's soldiers and
the kaiser's police
But the ruling caste of Germany ap-
parently knows there is a limit to
which even Germans may be driven.
Germany today is a land of thin, un-
derfed, underclothed people. 1t is
land upon every home of which Death
has laid his icy finger There are
blind men and manned men in everv
village 1t is land in which people
never smile any more. Carking care
has taken the place of easy mirth.
And the depressed spirits of the
people are not uplifted when thew
read in a workers journal, like the
Textilarbeiter workers union, has EEK
changed the temporal for the eternal
life" Nor do they rejoice when the
article continues that his relatives,
applying for financial help, were in
stead given a death certificate by the
district medical officer which said.

Fifteen minutes after the clash
