no VERY nation in the pres

discovered the superb
s1rity of compulsory military

These men would be just as
logical if they would also in
Sist that taxes for carrying on
The war be levied upon a vol

plan of securing recruits means
ahe raising of an army on a
passthe-hat b a sis. The
strength of the army. as far as
men are concerned, is left to
chance. II we can do that

TWO GERMAN VIEWS OF
DEFEAT

NNN HEN Count zu Reventlov
w wrote the other day
that without a German
victory the German monarchy
will soon cease to exist" he
may or may not have been con-
templating inevitable defeat,
He is.one of the fiercest of mi
litarists, and his recognition
for any reason of the fate al
home of a war lord vanquish-
ed abroad is significant.
Even more interesting was
the utterance of Maximilian
Harden, on the same day, that
Germany's future does not de-
pend upon conquest but upon
the acquisition of higher spirit
ual values. Elevate the con-
science of mankind" he con-
tinues, "and light up the Ger
man house also" Mr.. Harden
is one of the most radical of
democrats and his appeal is
for immediate constitutional
reforms as the only means of
saving the monarchy in defeat:
Then" he concludes, "what
the enemy demands too loudly.
but what we in secret feel to
be a necessity, will come to
pass"
The doom of autocracy may
not be written in such words as
these; that must be pronounced
upon many another field of
battle; but it is foreshadowed
by two of the most outspoken
nnen of the empire-by Revent-
low no doubt in sorrow and APP
prehensiOn, but by Harden
with ill-concealed pleasure in
the splendor of his vision.
These expressions will be all
the more impressive to Amer
leans when they reflect that
they are inspired no less by
Wilson's address to
congress than by the porten-
tous news from the 'front.'
