SPEAKS OF

Every once in u while some dis
tinguished citizen of German ancestry
but n%aturalized as an American
speaks in burning words that should
be dinned into the ears of all, native
born or naturalized.
Professor Max F. Meyer of the Uni
versity of Missouri, recently the re
cipient of an invitation to join one
Of the organizations with high sound
ing names whose real object is to par
alyze the fighting arm OF the Ameri
can government, in replying that the
invitation was an insult, said:
81 am thoroughly familiar with the
present organization of the German
social body and with its elimination
the present German government. ]
am much familiar. with it than
any Of your committee. l have lived
in Germany 25 years. I was born
there. l was educated there. l spent
10 years :Of my life in German educa'
tiOnal institutions from the kindergar'
ten to the research laboratory"
Professor Meyer cites these things
to show that he knows Germany not
from the outside, but from the inside,
as a land in which the military class
is the governing class. Stating these
facts, Professor Meyer then utters
this solemn warning to disloyalists in
this country:
III Germany wins this war, 50 years
hence it's government will rule the
American people. I do not want my
American children to be put under
this yoke, which I escaped by coming
to America. My hope is that the Ger.
man government will be O%verthrown
and that the German nation, my rela.
tives and friends, will enter an inter.
national organization for, peace and
justice.
But the German government, this
fearful danger to our future, can be
%overthrown only by raising armies,
not by sitting around your council
tables and working for the repeal of
CONSUMPTION laws"

versely affected defendants cause, the
defendant could then present to this
court the failure of the court below to
give such instruction as a ground for
reversible error"
4. otherwise, if the court fails to
explain or expound the law to the jury
relating to some Of the subject-matter
Of the action and the defendant makes
no request for instructions upon such
subject, the defendant is not in posi-
ton to complaint, and cannot after
wards in the appellate court success
fully contend that the failure OF the
trial court to give such instruction is
reversible error" asa N. w. Rep.
1922
The last sentence contains sixty.six
words. 1t is complex and compound
and i'll constructed. Please read it in,
this way and note well the difference.
4, Otherwise, when the court fails
to state to the jury the law of the
ase and counsel makes no reques.
for instructions on any subject, he is
not in a position to complain. And
afterwards in the appellate court he
cannot successfully contend that such
failure to instruct is reversible error.
In the first OF the above whale sem
fences you may note the subject and
the predicate are separated by fifty
words. Bring them together and read
thus: The folrth assignment OF error
is also without merit. 1t relates to
the failure Of the court to instrucs
the jury, &c. .
In the second sentence there is a
too frequent repetition Of the am
words: ''of the court ''by the court"
ito the court" request the court"
and the word INSTRUCTION" is used
three times. fif'
In the third sentence the word lin.
structi0n'' is used three times and
the word court" three times and the
words could or might, are used l..
lieu of the word ought" We may
reduce the four sentences to this
form: Plaintiff assigns error on the
failure OF the court to instruct the
jury, though he fails to request any
instruction. The ruIe'fis that where
counsel desires a special instruction
it is for him to prepare It and request
the court to give it. II II is proper
and material, the failure of the court
to give it is reversible error but with
out a special request such failure Is
not reversible error.
Consider the following sentences
with a view to clearness and sim
pllcity Of expression:
This was Hiawatha's wOOing,
Thus it was he won the daughter
OF the ancient Arrow-maker
In the land of the DacOtahs.
Dear Nea, let us roam no more
Along that lonely distant shore
Where late we thOughtless strayed;
Twas not for lis whom heaven in,
tends
To be no more than simple friends
Such lonely walks were made.
In the Bible VIC find the best il.
lustrations Of lucid, simple sentences:
From the beginning to the end Of the
book. there is not a long winding or
complicated sentence: In the begin.
ming God created the heavens and the
earth. And the earth was without form
and void. And darkness was upon
the face Of the deep. And God said,
let there be light on there was light,
and God called the light day, and the
darkness he called night.

LESSONS r o ITALY,.

The allies are rushing supplies to
Italy. .-4.,a,
In the meantime, presumably, the
Italians are getting along as best they
can without those supplies. Which
consist in what? For the time being,
shells primarily, say the news dis
patches. .
But a number of months ago Italian
statesmen indicated unless coal and
food, as well as shells, were hurried
to them, it would be impossible for
General Cadorna's brilliant activities
on the Isonzo front to continue. Coal
was particularly important, for with
out coal the wheels Of Italian indus
try--munitions and other factories
would necessarily stop turning.
All thoseSathings an army in the
field is dependent upon were in turn
dependent upon the fuel situation.
Is the apparent Italian collapse due
to failure to heed those early appeals?
Withstanding the fire of the German
big guns with bayonets and fighting
spirit is a bad business, as demon
strated previously in Russia and Ru.
mania. 1t can't be done. ,
And from all that can be cleaned
from carefully censored cablegrams
this appears to be what General Ca.
dorna is up against now.
The allies are rushing supplies. al.
though the situation may still be
saved, this would seem to be a poor
time to be rushing anything-to Italy.
The supplies should have been there
long ago.
The lesson for the allies is that alb.
solute coordination among themselves
Is essential if the Germans are to be
effectively checked at an early date.
The lesson for America is that,
more than ever. we must do our part.
Also that, in doing our part, the in
dustrial factor is of prime Importance.
1t is all very we'll to be sending
troops to France in as rapidly increas.
ing numbers as practicable. But at
the same time, it must be remem-
bered, the bulk of our limited shipping
is still faced by the job of rendering
impossible a repetition of what ap-
pears to be the real Italian disaster,
not alone on the Italian, hut on all
other European fronts.

and acclaim it a notable victory. If
he can't lay his hands On real money,
he will collect stage money from the
German people and announce it as a
financial triumph.
! just SO much exchange Of paper be-
tween the government and the people.
The workmen and their employers
are paid in pieces of government pa
per--Germany's promises to pay.
These papers are good for their face
value in Germany-because people
have to take them at that value. They
arc good for their face value nowhere
else in the world.
Even in the last year Of u Civil
war, when the surrender at Appoma-
tox was in sight. the confederate peo.
pie could have. floated millions of dol
lars worth of bonds, when there was
hardly a dollar of real money in the
southern states.
When the government announces a
new loan the obedient German people
hand in their paper money-govern-
ment promises to pay-and take in re-
turn government bonds-more prom
Uses to pay. Little, if any, real coin
is involved.
The government apparently has
made no provisions against the reck-
oning in the future. No arrangement
has been made for paying off part of
the Indebtedness by taxes or a sink
ing fund. The Prussian war makers
were 50 sure they would conquer that
they assured the money lords they
would make the enemy pay Germany's
debts. But the war has gone to the
point where all the German inner cir
cles realize they cannot obtain indem-
mites anywhere. This means their
finances are pyramided to a point un-
usual in history.
The day of reckoning will come.
Even when peace reigns once more,
German promises to pay will be of
little value outside of Germany. Cold
blooded bankers will see simply pieces
of paper proffereI by a nation head
over heels in debt, which will be hard
put to 1t to pay the interest, much
less the principal. They will want to
see the color of Germany's gold and
silver. And if Germany complies it
will not be long before the empire is
completely drained of all it's metallic
currency. On the other hand, if it
boards it's gold and silver, 1t. will
largely bar itself from the marts Of
the world. The kaiser is entitled to
all the pleasure he is able to extract
from the present and future financial
situation of his deluded people.
