PUPPETS TO THE KAISER.

Some surprise is expressed over
the fact that the new German fon
eign secretary is a pronounced oppo-
nent of ruthless submarine warfare,
difference does a foreign secretary S
conscience or a chancellor's judgment
or a peoples protest to the Hohen-
zollern autocracy and the German
general staff? 1t would be as vain
to expect an abandonment of U-boat
piracy on this account as it would
be to look for 4 humanizing of Hin
denburg through a change i'll his boot
black. There is but one power in
preSent-day Germany, and that power
is the black, imbruted power of q
clique of military despOts. The rest

bursts against the government, but
what care the PrusSi2n war lordS fer
seedlings of a debating society," as
the German parliament is truly term
ed? The day doubtless will come
when a disilluSioned people, realizing
how they have been misled and
tyrannized and betrayed by the muir
derous adventures they now serve,
will break their bondage. But that
time is not yet. The Kaiser with his
chief butchers, Ludendorff and Hin
denburg, rules absolutely. Not until
that ruthless autocracy is destroyed
either from within or without will
there be any hope of a humane Ger

THOSE WHO ARE DRAFTED.

The Youths Companion well points
out that those who go into the ma
tional army under the selective draft
have no reason TO be ashamed of the
fact that they were drafted, rather
than being volunteers.
You CO. the Companion says,
mot as reluctant victims of misfor
tune or a fatal chance, but rather as
our chosen ones; the pick and flower
of our manhood, whole of body, sound
in mind and spirit-what all of us
would like to be. And we who are
too old or too weak, or in some other
respect untitled to go in body, shall
go with you in spirit We know that
we ask much of you, and we expect
much for we expect things in keep
ing with our great traditions-thingS
born of the spirit of Nathan Hale;
but we know that we shall not be
disappointed
The men who are selected from
lHG III dlJ llluSI lGcl Ill
the fact that they have been decided
upon as worthy of the honor Of this
seryice-that they are free of physi-
cal defect and that they are, besides,
so situated that they can serve the
country without depriving those near
and dear to them of their support and
comfort. And, when these fortunate
selects" remember that, as the oCm-
panion says, They are to fight in
the noblest cause i'll which man ever
took up arms, and for a nation the
most generous in the world to her
soldier sons they should feel
great pride that they have been chos-
en- and go to the duty that lies be-
fore them with an eXaltation of spirit
that will nerve them to the noblest
deeds.

THE AMERICAN ARMY.

The national army now numbers
1875 900 men, including the 1908 Off
GERS and 419,S34 men who went into
the service last Sunday under the
call to the national guard. TO these
will be added, in the course Of the
next few weeks 687,000 who come in
under the selectiye draft
This will make the total strength
Of the United States army III the
neighborhood of 100000 men-in
other words, this country will have
that number OF men under arms, eX-
elusive of the men in the navy and
marine corps.
The problem of adequately train
ing this great army and then OF prop
erly transporting it to Europe, is one
which naturally calls for the great
est executive and military ability
The national guardsmen are partial
" trained, some of them being newly
enlisted, and practically the entire
selectiye draft list is made up of the
rawest of raw recruits. These men
will have to be qudrtered in camps
and taught the first principles OF
military duty and regulations.
The question is now how many of
these 100000 men can be trans
ported to Gurope and within what pc
Rod of time 1t is not regarded as
likely that the American forces can
get into actual battle before spring.
Most of them will not leave the coun-
trv before the first Of the year, But
if is highly essential that large mum
Der be sent across at the earliest
possible date, in order to refute the
impression which the German author
tiles are giving their people that the
United States is only "bluiling' and
that this country does not intend to
send any considerable number of men
to Europe. If q sufficient force can
he nut into the field within a month
or two to show the Germans that we
are really coming" it will have a
tremendous effect and may result i'll
a termination of the war at date
early enough to make ii unnecessary

THE "NEWSv OF YOUR STORE.

The news" is very absorbing in
| these historic times. The readers of
newspapers feel that they are read
ing today of current events which
will find their way eventually into
written histories.
There is, therefore, a sort of com
Polling interest-a thrill, a charm, a
lure-in the record of happenings at
home and abroad. The newspaper is
a necessity, to degree never before
known Without it the world would
come quickly to chaos.
Every reader of newspaper
knows that the ads are channels of
news, quite as surely as are the news
columns proper. In fact, the aver
age reader looks upon the advertis-
ing columns as news columns OF a
different kind.
In them he does not find descrip-
lions of battles, it is true. But he
finds the answers to buying problems
which bother him-and these prob
lens are often very perpleXing. They
are very near to the man and wom-
an who must find the right solution
or forfeit their own peace of mind
and peace Of purse.
The merchant must make his adj
vertisements match i'll news value
the cabled dispatches from abroad.
This is not to say thai it is Of as
much Importance to know what a
thing will cost as il is to know about
the sinking of another ship by sub
marine-but the merchants message
may still match the war news i'll

that upon his wise management of

serve his country through contribut
ing to her financial straightforward

berless ways in which money can
help to make the nations fight
He welcomes the news" of buying
opportunities, therefore, with an in
terest which is not wholly selfish
nor even half selfish, but which, at
bottom, is highly patriotic. Every

a dollar saved for the purchase of

proper to remember that much of
this war cost will be expended at
home, in greater manufacturing and
agricultural output and in develop
ing foreign commerce-in building
ships and camps and airplanes and
making munitions.
So, those who seem to fear that
the war will bankrupt the country
are far wide of the mark Three
years of it will not exact more than
one-fourth of our national wealth. and
resources. We need not feel uneasy
or fearsome about the financial side
of the war. Our only concern should
be for the loss of good American
lives.

THE NATIONS WEALTH.

An officer of the National City Bank
of New York recently estimated that
the total wealth Of the United States
is S240, 900, 100000. He could not in
clude in this estimate, of course, the
undevelopod resources of the country
Accepting this estimate, We find il
interesting for the purposes of com
parison, to cite it in connection with
the estimated cost OF the first yeai
Of the war SIT 100000. SupposC
tho war should cost more than that
say s2Oooo, 100000 yoar-ther
the total cost OF a three-year wal
would be $50, 100000, which wotild
be only rs per cent Of the totaI
wealth Of the nation.

 There was plenty of evidence last night that the rupture was complete. and 1t was generally accepted that General Goethals would refuse to continue his work unless both of the men gave up their positions and left him in full charge. MT. Clark said that he had not resigned and intend- ed to continue his efforts to put the wooden ship program across. unless removed The position of MT. Eustis. he said, was the same. They had in- tended no personal attack upon Gen. Eeral Goethals, but felt that the people should be acquainted with the facts as they saw them. MT. Clark frank ly, was willing to take the conse- quences and go out, if the blow; fell.
 General Goethals read the state- ments of Eustis and Clark and then asserted briefly that he had nothing Co say tonight It is understood that the whole matter will be taken sup at a meeting of the executive council of the emergency fleet cor

on between them for more than two hundred ships if 50 many should be desired.
 Entirely in addition to. these con- tractors we have about seventy-five wooden ship builders on our two coasts who can produce some hun dreds of ships.
 '"The question remains, how much of this emergency construction shall we, as nation, undertake? do not know what action the Emergency Fleet Corporation will take. The country should know what are the possibilities"
 Statement by Denman.
 Here is what Chairman Dsnman of the shipping Board had to say about the controversy:
 .None of the members of the Ship ping Board had any knowledge of tho statements attributed to the engineers, Mir. Eustis and MT Clark ,intimating q refusal by General Goethals to build as many wooden ships as he might, nor had they the slightest in- timation that they were to be issued. General Goethals,8 as head of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, in the service of which. they have been act ing, has entire responsibility for the shipbuilding program. wood and steel. That power was given him when the corporations was organized on April 16, 1917.
 The board has not insisted that

prefer snce be given either to wood or steel. All we desire Is the maximum of quickly constructed tonnage for immediate war necessities.. GenAfal Goethals has not requested any as- sistance from the Shipping Board. and any request for assistance from the board that he might have made
 or may make, would have received and will receive instant attention. I have previously indicated my, opinion as to places where discussions of such a serious character should bs initiated. Apparently these gentlemen do not agree with me-"
 Dr. Eustis is a resident of Boston, and MT. Clark comes from New York. Originally both were in the employ of the Shipping Board at $1 a year, and they brought here the plan for the great fleet of wooden ships. When the Emersehcy Fleet Corpora ton was formed, with General Gns- thals at its head. MT. Eustis and Mir. Clark were assigned to that organiza- ton and came under the Jurisdiction of General Goethals. MT. Eustis was a member of the Executive council, as we'll as assistant general manager.
 No publicity has been thrown upon their relations with General Goethals. but it was known that they Supported a program which tho General drowned upon as soon, at any rate. as he came to the conclusion that the steel inter
