There are about 10000 physicians

GERMAN UNIVERSITY INFLUENCE

The German university is the medium through
which, in large measure. there has been instilled into
the German people the thought and purpose that gave
rise to this war, and which, in fact, made it inevitable.

three typical writers. preached the supremacy Of the
state, the glory of war, and the contempt Of. men for
obligations of any kind. 1t has been denied that these
men had exercised any important influence over Cor
man thought because outside of a rather small circle
their names were unknown and their books were un-
read. But they wrote their books and preached their
doctrine, and that doctrine was in perfect accord with
the ambitions of the ruling caste. Quickly the prin-
ciples which they enunciated were assimilated, and pres
emily they found their way into the universities, and
thence, into the minds Of the common people.
The fact that there are millions Of Americans who
never read a word written by Alexander Hamilton or
John Marshall, and who have merely a vague knowl-
edge that such men existed. does not alter the fact that
the theories Of national government are based largely
on the arguments of Hamilton and Marshall. And so in
Germany. the thought has become ASSOCIATED from the
individual who gave 1t form, and while the individual
remains unrecognized, his concept is accepted by the
mass because Of the weight Of authority that has been
given it. The German university L. largsly responsible
for the war.

THE UNDERSTANDING OF EXPERIENCE

The address delivered by H. G. Evans at the Baptist
church on Tuesday evening was rsplete with thrilling
descriptions of war scenes. Mr.. Evans had visited the
battle lines, had travelled through the country lately
traversed by great armies, and has talked with the people
Of the warning countries and had become familiar with
their point Of view. His description Of all these things
was interesting and instructive. But tho most interest
ing thing about the address was the fact that It was de-
lvered by a man who went to Europe hrm In the convic-
ton that reason could be made to take the place of
-feree-and that thu heads Of the warning nations could
be induced to -declare an armistice while they entered
upon negotiations which would lead quickly to peace.
Mr.. Evans, as has been stated in the notices of his
address, was a member of the famous Ford peace COM
mission. He sailed with the peace party, participated
in its discussions. and was one Of the five Americans
designated to remain in Europe and continue the nego-
tiations after the main body had left. And, while his
desire for peace remains as earnest as ever, his belief
as to the means by which peace is to be reached has
changed utterly.
People sometimes ask me- said Mr.. Evans, IF I
nm still a pacihst. 7 am. I believe in peace and desire
IT. And that is why I am in favor Of this war;"
Mr.. Evans went to Europe to promote peace. He

A WAR OF N

This war 10 often described az q war OF kings. In q

preston a. the actual will Of the people.
William Of Germany began the war whom outside Of

This contrast can be accounted for
by the policy Of the government with
regard to tho special institutions Of
the various groups, chief among
which institutions are the language
and religion.
The foreign language press, plat
form and pulpit serves a double pur-
pose. viz: VI.
First-1t is q means. and in many
cases the only means, whereby we
can communicate to foreign elements
Of our polyelot nation American ideas
and ideals. The foreign press. plat
form and pulpit have, done a great
mission in the making Of the Ameri-
can nation. and it's work in this line
is not yet finished.
Second-It is a means of trans
planting to American soil the best
there is of ideas and ideals in the
various lands where their language Is
the native tongle. In this line their
work will be finished. It has
been the perennial watchtower
whence the keenest minds Of the var
ious groups catch the glimpse Of real
values in their homeland; it is the ev-
er-ready importer who receives and
transmits these values to the Ameri-
car public. This is%-service is invalua-
ble-it is like the goose that laid the
golden egg. That America is a great
cosmopolitan. sympathetic and aftru-
of democracy is in q great measure
due to these institutions now so mer-
cilessly assailed by men whose zeal
by far. exceeds their knowledge and
robs them Of the wisdom, which in
other things may be theirs.
