The immortality of Nature

BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1918. by Frank Crane)

Back TO nature may mean many beau
tiful and desirable things, but It does not
mean morality The prevailing notion
is that the city is the center of all cor
ruption. while out on the farm or amid
the primeval forests all is pure and
wholesome.
Which is precisely the reverse Of the
truth. Morality is a product of the
town. Civilization is Of the crossroads
A nation is law-abiding and gentle in
proportion 20 its railroad facilities.
Before ever the white man came from
Europe the noble Indian roamed these
parts From most Of the sentimental lit
erature on the subject you would sup
pose that the high-minded redskn oc-
cupied himself, in those days before the
stalking about with folded arms, wor-
shipping the Great Spirit and composing
vers libre 70 the sunset, while his squaw
gathered the buebells from the rivers
bank and threaded them in garlands gay.
Alas. nix Said To was mostly busy
crouching behind a tree waiting for a
gentleman friend 20 come along whose
face he did not like. to chop him in the
head, or attending peradventure the adj
vent of some dusky Juanita that struck
his fancy, to grab her by the name and
drag her TO his tepee In other words,
the children of nature were bloody vii
lains and vigorous white slavers, TO such
an extent that the only way civilized folk
could get along with them was to tuck
them under the sod or confue them to
reservations.
Nature is not moral. To revert 10 ma
ture would be TO go back to anarchy, the
primacy Of Big Muscle.
As write this am up in the Catskills
sitting on a porch with Cliss Carman,

not true.

Early that same day, some OF the girls

Germany Begins To Crack

War-weariness, hunger, emulation Of
Russian revolutionaries- these things
perhaps involved in the first big crack
in the German military and naval ma
chine.
It is intensely interesting news. 1t
shows the iron discipline is breaking
down. It shows men are beginning TO
dare TO rebel. And, singularly enough,
this first outbreak occurred not among
those who have endured the terrors OF
trench fighting, but among sailors idle
at Wilhelmshaven-
The mutinous conditions apparent on
st least four big German battleshlps
must exist, even If in milder form, else
where. 1t sounds very much like the
Russian revolution
The fact that while savage reprisals
were ordered by the kaiser, the chancel-
ior did not dare obey his royal master,
testifies TO the dangerous mood of the
men, and perhaps Of the nation.
Probably the main cause of the revolt
was the submarine warfare. Not that
the Prussians were shocked by It's In
humanity, but they rebelled against the
increased danger to themselves. In the
early U-boat days it was not hard to
get volunteer crews. The higher rates
of pay and the prospect of prize awards
and honors and decorations were allur-
ing.
But by and by something happened
which made the German sailor do some
serious thinking. The number Of sub
marines which did not return to port and
whose fate remained unknown began TO
increase. And since American destroy
ers have been on the job, this number
has been mounting rapidly.
The German sailor, therefore, has lost
his stomach for the job. He may be
willing enough TO fight in a big battle
where he has about even chances with
the enemy, but he is not keen for this
thing of being drowned like rat in
tub. II all came to head in the recent
mutinies.
The satisfactory point to the allies is
that such news cannot be suppressed by
the authorities. BY now every German
sailor knows what has happened. He
knows some Of his comrades were shot.
and others sentenced to long terms in
prison.
This kind of thing does not improve
morale. It hurts it. 1t does not sup
press feelings of revolt II spreads dis
satisfaction. German warship command
ers are not now in a comfortable po-
sition. There will always be in the back
of their minds the efhhiAg fear tff1at IN
a pinch the crews may suddenly go back

Mrs. Joe Clark Passes Away

After "A lingering illness, fol-
lowing a bad case of measles,
Mrs. Joe Clark passed quietly
away near Spout Spring, Sunday,
aged twenty. five years. Funeral
services were held Tuesday at the
Vaughn's Mill Christian church
by Elder j. T. Turpin, after
which the remains were laid to
rest in the churchyard here.
Mrs. Clark was formerly Miss
Zella Sans, one of the best school
teachers in the two counties Of
Estill and Powell, and was a
daughter of Mrs. Mamie Pryor,
who survives, besides her hus.
band.
Mrs. Clark was beliked by all
who knew her, and was univer-
sally known as Christian wo-
man who will be sadly missed by
her many friends.
