The Whole German Declaration
Based on Lies

I'VE know we'll enough what wild rumors
float into the public's acceptance in times
of war; what does it matter whether We be-
ieve or do not believe that before the out
break of actual hostlities there was a
stream of French motor cars hurrying into
Russia laden with bags of gold and dis
gused French o1icers7 These things would,
admittedly, be of but passing interest were
it not that most of them were publicly and
officially announced by Germany as her rec
son for going to war with France.
"On the evening of August 3 the German
Ambassador at Paris informed the President
of the republic that acts of a hostile nature
had been committed on German territory and
that, in view Of these aggressions,' the Ger
man government was forced TO consider it.

THREE years is a long time if it hap
pens to be three years of war. And

THREE years is long time if it hap
pens to be three years of war. And
though the guns still roar on and
all the huge machinery Of war proceeds
without a moments pause, the last ten
days have seen each of the important bel
ligerents in the world conflict lift eyes a
moment from battle-eyes that were per-
haps for the first time in the thirty-six
months contempative and retrospective
and with some purpose beyond view Of
the immediate devastation about them. A
gathering of opinions and events toward
further simplifcation of the war has
been disclosed
Doubtless Russia is the key to much that
is happening in Europe and America to-
day-a Russia that has violated again and
again the certainties upon which premiers
and generals have relied, the certAinties of
imperial rule, the certainties of old-fash-
toned war doctrine with its creeds of in
demnity and annexation. All this has been
exchanged for the uncertainties of strug-
Cling new idealism, still unschooled, but
desperately in earnest. 1t is Russia trium-
phant which has given clarity to the new
aims of those who fight Germany, and it is
Russia in defeat which has spurred the
enemies of Germany on to new determine
ton that never again shall brigand ma
ton hold the world at bay. But the ten
days have seen much more than that a
sudden American awakening to the gravity
Of the situation, and again a crafty Ger
man attempt to win by sophistry and lies
what Germany has not been able to win
by arms.

There Was One Report That
/ Prussianism Had Fallen

George T. Odell, a correspondent for
"The Evening MAIL" stationed at Stock
holm, wrote of Germany's offer in glow
ing terms. a short quotation from which
may serve as an example of faith IN the
Teutonic word which few other organs
seemed able to duplicate:
stockholm, July 2s.-Germany has made
q new declaration of faith. Prussian feudal-
ism has been shattered by the powerful hand
of its monarch, Wilhelm II. The Hohenzol-
lern dynasty has relinquished all claim to the
divine right of kings and sovereignty.
1T stands to-day before the German peo-
pie seeking the right to rule as 'volkskoenig-
tum.' The king, sustained upon the shields OF
his chosen chiefs, has made to his subjects
the pledge to administer government in which
the people have the deciding voice.
"The new German government declares its
adherence to the creed OF popular govern
ment. The government at last announces Its
recognition of the principle that the German
reople. who have fought bled and suffered
mmeasurably and by accomplishing endur-
ance and strength of character have demon
strated their leadership, have the right to
self-government.
an declaring the new creed, the German
government does not expect to make a great
impression on the outside world, nor lessen
the intensity of the war being waged against
the Central Powers by the western nations.
Therefore it is not its intention TO decrease
any of its own military measures. On the
contrary it purposes to continue the use OF
all weapons"

THERE Can Be No Peace Without
/ Prussian Capitulation

The effect of the Declaration Of Paris,
as perhaps history may find it convenient
to label it, is suggested in this from 1.-THE
New York World:
Whoever is honestly seeking the peace
terms of the democracies now in the death
grapple with German autocracy can find them
in the formal statement issued in Paris yes
terday by the war conference of the Allied
powers, which are resolved not TO lay down
their arms until they have attained the end
which in their eyes dominates all others--to
render impossible a return of the criminal
aggressi sion such as that whereof the Central
Powers bear the responsibility.
"Unless the war achieves this end il is
lost so far as democracy is concerned. There
can be no peace on any other terms. There
may be a truce during which the world
would be compelled to stay armed to the
teeth pending fresh outburst Of Prussian
aggression, but no peace"
And the following from The Tribune:
"Now, after three years, we have rededi-
cation. We have a reaffirmation of the deter
mination of the nations which have been
fghting this war to continue until the Ger.
man menace is finally abolished, until the
doctrine Of force and the policy of ruthless
ness have been defeated Enthusiastically"
Over in London, Sir Edward Carson,
with Ulster clean forgotten, delivered him
self thus:
ave enter on the fourth year in spirit
Of confident determination TO see this thing
through until we have attained the aims we
proclaimed at the beginning, which could
not be better summarized than in President
Wilson's pregnant phrase, TO make the world
safe for dsmasrasy'"
But the climax Of this insYesting period

Tt Is Time for America to Say:
| They Shall Not Passl'

The Tribune had occasion to say of the
situation, editorially:
"To believe that Germany can win this war
is to cease to believe in all that life holds
for any of US. And there is nothing in the
present outlook or the past history of this
war TO warrant such a belief. 1t is
time for the people of the United States to
| seek to acquire something of the spirit and
something of the determination of the French
soldiers who said at Verdun, They shall not
pass!'"
And the Secretary of War. issued state
ment saying there was no occasion for pes
simism.
One of the most interesting comments,
as further disclosing the attitude of one
section of the public, was this from 1.-THE
New York Call" which is definitely and
avowedly Socialist in its expression:
Senator Borah. Of Idaho, has made speech
in the Senate urging peace with Germany, or,
at least. measures TO be initiated by the
United States government that may ulti-
mately bring peace. And here is his conclu-
sion:
If this war does not involve our institu-
tons; if the security and dignity and
safety of our own democracy are not in
voved; if we are not fighting this war
for the defence Of our own rights and
for the protection of our citizens, then
this declaration Of war was a bold and
| impudent betrayal of the rights of the
whole nation, and its continvInc for
single hour is a conspiracy against every
/ home in the land

announcement will signify by saying Aye!'

"'The commanding officer of the Sd

at would seem reasonable to suppose that
the German people, learning these things
would demand some explanation of gov

, The German People Know
About the Early Myths
"The German people know now that the
story of the caravan of French automobiles
filled with gold and disguised officers, flying
across thirty miles of Dutch territory to be
intercepted at Walbeck, is myth. Thay
had to be told it was myth because the
tale ran through Germany like fire, and so
many German motors, no matter what their
direction, were being held up by each excited
village magistrate that Germany's war opera
tions were actually in danger of being
hindered. Yet this report was given to Lon
don the necessity for invading Belgium
THE German people also know now there
never was any disguised French doctor pour
ing cholera germs in the wells; the official
Wolff Agency had finally to retract this
rumor, which, arousing something uncom-
fortably near to panic in German small
towns, was proving a boomerang.
"Why have the German people not asked
some time during these three years, for de-
tails of the grievances on the strength of
which Germany declared war on France,
fatty denied the charges of violation brought
against her by Germany. The purpose OF
lie Mensonge is to bring up the evidence
supporting that denial, and it offers, not
generalizations, but the names of regiments,
it specifies commanders, it gives addresses
and photographs and letters, it offers care
full annotations and page references. not
only to support its own case, but to back up
the counter charges Of aggression which II
brings against Germany. No such evidence
has ever been offered by Germany.

REPORTS SHOW SPLENDID WORK
 IF RED CROSS

Some idea of the vast amount of work being done by the women of the Phoenix Chapter American Red Cross was gained at the meeting of the exec utive board of the Phoenix chapter when it was reported that this chapter alone had expended nearly $1,000 for supply work the past month. With this amount, materials had been purchased which were made into hospital gar ments and surgical dressings, and there were enough of these to fill eight boxes. These boxes will now be turned over to Gordon Tweed, who will for ward them to San Francisco where they, with other supplies, will be sent to France in carload lots. All of this work is specially wrapped and packed in specially made boxes in order that 1t may be put into actual use as soon as it reaches the hospitals at the front. The boxes for the Phoenix chapter are made by J. T. Whitney.
 Over 500 Christmas packages have been shipped to headquarters and 500 more are in the stage of preparation. All of the branches of the Phoenix chapter have been active in their sup port of this special feature of Red Cross activities. It was decided at this meeting to leave, in the hands of the supply committee, the question of pro- viding fruit or other gifts for the Ari Zona men in camp during the Christ mas season. The supply committee will also see that the regular troops at the Roosevelt dam and at Granite Reef are not forgotten at Christmas.
 Mrs. W. K James reported on the supplying of the infirmary at Camp Funston with equipment, such as pill lows, towels, wash cloths, gowns, slip pers and so forth. This was done on very short notice at the request of the governor and officers in charge at the camp That work in the schools is also progressing was shown by the report of Mrs. James. Many special lines of ef- fort, in which the work of the school children can be used to advantage, have been developed and valuable as- sistance can be counted on from this source.
 MT. Prince reported the financial condition of the chapter and showed a statement of the collections for the war fund. It was decided that a monthly report be printed in the press and MT. Prince will prepare the same to con- form to the new methods of account ing, as suggested by the Red Cross War council.
 According to the report of MT. Good rich, a representative of the war coun- cil will be in Arizona very soon to CO., operate with the chapters and branches on war fund collections. MT. Goodrich also reported for the canteen com mittee.
 Reports from several other important committees were made by the chair man of each. Bishop Atwood reported on the financial matters, supplement- ing the report of the treasurer, MT Prince. Mrs. Dennett and Mrs. Heard reported for the service section and Miss Egleston for the First Aid. It was decided to ask each chairman to sub- init in writing, brief report each month giving the work of each con- mittee, and it was agreed to hold a regular meeting on the second Thurs day of each month for the presentation of these reports. Other meetings will be held as necessary.

 Grain Products

Under the proud care of M. T. Grier. chairman of the hotelmen's committee. in the food adminstra- ton offices, are halt dozen loaves of very attractive looking bread, neatly molded and vel browned, each with a label that tells a story of the practical con servation of wheat and of the use of Arizona products in a most commendable degree. The bread was brought in, entirely at his own voIition, by Art Krause, chef of the dining room of the Normal school at Tempe, an enthusiastic believer in the doctrine of teedins the vigorous appetites or ms young charges on the products ot the land in which they live. Each of the loaves is of different com position, respectively, 35 per cent milo maize and 65 per cent wheat; 50 per cent milo maize and oo per cent wheat; 35 per cent feterita and 65 per cent wheat; oo per cent feterita and 50 per cent wheat; 50 per cent shallu, a va riety of Egyptian corn, and oo per cent wheat; 50 per cent kattir corn and 50 per cent wheat.
 MT. krause is continuing his ex- periments with the expectation of steadily diminishing the percent age of wheat and flour and in even gaining in the toothsomeness of the product. His efforts are appreciated by the normal students who already have joined heartily in other plans in the saving of wheat, meat and fats.
