A PROPAGANDIsT VICTORY.

Belated explanations of the German
Austrian drive across the Italian from
tier have swept away the mystery az
tending that disaster. 1t appeared from
first accounts that the Italian army had
been caught asleep and, unprepared.
How, observers asked, could General
Cadorna have failed to observe the en-
emy's preparations, and why did he not
make ready to meet them?
The answer Is that Cadorna was
aware Of the plan. He knew before.
hand the place Of attack and the prob.
able time. He had even issued com.
munique announcing that 1t would oc-
cur, and that he was prepared to meet
il. His failure was the result of over
confidence rather than blindness.
And the reason for his overconfi-
dence Is one that does Cadorna's heart
more credit than his head. He be-
leved implicitly in the loyalty and
courage of all his troops. He knew
that the Germans had been trying to
tamper with them, but thought that
all their effort would prove futile.
And that Is where he was wrong.
The German propaganda, carried on
across the Italian front. had gone much
farther than Cadorna knew. German
emissaries had been sowing there the
false and poisonous doctrines by which
they are seeking in all quarters of the
world, to establish German peace.
They had deceived or corrupted great
numbers of Italian troops. IL was the
same plan used effectively against Rus
sia And so. when the Teutons surged
forward, the Italian wall yielded easily
and let them pour through the breach.
There is another lesson in this for
any country or any person not yet on
guard against Prussian wiles. Fear
the Greeks, even when bearing gifts
was the old Trojan motto. Likewise,
the democratic world is learning to fear
the Germans when they come in the
guise of friends-indeed, to fear them
then most OF all.
There is hardly a country in Chris
tendon or heathendom that has not
felt the force of their insidious pro-
paganda. Americans have had special
reason to look for the Prussian wolf
in the pacifist sleeps clothing. And
vet over and over again the American
public has to be warned of the perils
of proposals or ideas emanating from
German sources.
The cry of the pro-Germanist now Is
for free speech" The Socialists raised
that cry in dozen cities in the re-
cent political campaign. In nearly ev-
cry case it is a false cry. The men
responsible for il want not free speech,
as a guarantee of human freedom, but
free propaganda leading to German
victory and human slavery.

ANOTHER PROBLEM SOLVED.

One OF the problems the United States
had to face when II entered upon its
big airplane building project was the
lack OF properly seasoned wood. All
the air'seasoned wood suitable for the
construction OF airplanes had been
bought up by the allies for their own
needs. The usual process of drying
wood for that use required from one
to three years-rather a long time to
wait for materials needed at once.
But the problem was being solved
even before II arose. For some time
past the Wisconsin Forest Products
Laboratory had been working at a new
process for drying wood that take much
less time than the air-drying and would
be just as satisfactory. The former
kiln-drying did not produce wood suit
able Tor airships.
1t is now reported that the new pro-
cess works, that ash and spruce. the
most in demand for building airplanes,
can be kiln-dried successfully. with
even less injury to the mechanical prop
critics Of the wood than the air.season-
ing.
Again science has come to the rescue
with new and better methods and with
a saving OF time that is of vital import
ance to the nation and to civilization.

laration OF war against Germany ap'
pears TO have confounded the pan-Ger-

were so cocksure that South America
would become imperial reichsland
What a shock Brazil's entrance into
the war must be. for example. may be
judged from Otto Tannenbergs Gross.
deutschland, published In 1911. in which
he says:
"The German settlement in Southern
Brazil and In Uruguay are the only
bright spots In the dark picture OF
South American civilization. Five hun.
dred thousand Germans live In these
regions: and II Is to be hoped that, In
the reorganization OF South.American
relations, when the Indian.Latin half.
breeds have completely ruined themsel-
yes, the immense basin of La Plata,
with it's adjoining western. eastern and
southern coasts. will fall into the hands
OF German people. 1t is really
marvellous that the German nation
should not long ago have decided to
take possesson Of this territory"
There has been a very large output
OF German literature during the last
decade based on the assumption. as Joh-
annes Unoid puts II, that "the Ger
mans have been called, by reason OF
preceptors and guides Of these nations
in intellectual, economic and political
affairs" Nothing. however, approaches
in scope and daring the vision Of
Klaus Wagner who In his work. Krieg,
announces:
mot only North America. but all
America, must be a bulwark Of the Teu.
tonic races. South America must also
and may easily become home of new,
free Teutonis- Teutonoid races. Teu-
tonic states! Resettlement of the terri.

shells General French needed.
II took courage to print this, but II
was printed. and a storm RACED. But
| the upshot was a complete upheavel In
the war department-and the British
army got shells.
One OF the tragedies OF this war is
| that the British came within an ace OF
winning II when they planned their
Gallipoli campaign, designed To force the
Dardanelles, capture Constantinople and
put Turkey out of the war. Had this
occurred. Bulgaria would never have en-
tered.
But there was blunder after blunder,
England buzzed with the rumor OF IT,,
and finally parliamentary committee
made report which astounded all En-
gland. Names were named-the list
including some OF the most powerful
men in Britain. II showed the English

And now comes Admiral Henderson
In caustic survey Of what he deems
the outstanding failures Of the British
admiralty. He scores the navy for not
aiding the Russians in the Baltic. In
discussing the famous battle OF Jutland
he says II was really a defeat for En-.
gland, In that the German high seas
fleet was allowed to escape utter de-
struction. His most bitter shafts are
aimed at Lord Jellicoe. at that time in
supreme command OF the fighting for
ces. and now first sea lord.
These cases all point one way. There
Is no disposition on the part Of any
American to throw single stone in the
path OF those charged with the duty
OF waging our part Of the war. There
IL no desire to fling rocks lust to be
flinging them. But it is just as well to
remember that this Is a democracy and

Shall they hear it. rush and slay and
