The dedication at Leipzig. in the year 1913 of the great monument to celebrate what is called the war of liberation" and the victory of Leipzig in the war of the nations, 1913, had undoubtedly kindled a martial spirit in Germany. To my mind, the course which really determined the emperor and the ruling class for war was the attitude of the whole people in the Zabern affair and their evident and growing dislike of miitarism. The fact that the socialists. at the close of the session of the reichstag. boldly re- mained in the chamber and refused to rise or to cheer the name of the em- peror indicated new spirit of re-
 sistance to autocracy, and autocracy saw that if it was to keep it's hold upon Germany it must lead the nation into a short and successful war.
 This is no new trick of a ruling and aristocratic class From the days when the patricians of Rome forced
 the people into war whenever the peo-
 pie showed disposition to demand their rights autocracies have always turned to war as the pest anlluOte against the spirit of democracy:
 People of other countries have been wondering why it is that the Germa n government is able so easily to i'm pose it's will upon the German people. ] have set out in another Chapter in detail the political system. from which you have seen that the reichstag is nothing but a debating society: that the Prussians do not really have uni yersal suffrage, but by reason of the vicious circle system of voting the elective franchise remains in the hands of the few. and that the government

kaiser was implicitly believed when, on the first day of the war, he ap- peared on the balcony of the palace and told the crowds, who were keen for war, that Before the leaves have fallen from the trees you will be back in your homes"
 The army and all Germany believed the kaiser, and believed, too, that few short weeks would see the de- struction of France and the conse- quent seizure of her rich colonies; that Russia could then be struck a good quick blow before she could con centrate her army and resources; that England would remain neutral, and that Germany would consequently be- come, if not the actual owner of the world, at least it's dictator. Some one has since said that the emperor must have meant pine trees!
 Working ever in the dark, either owning CT influencing newspapers, the great munition and arms factory of the Krupps insidiously poisoned the minds of the people with the microbe of war.
 Prince Lichnowsky, the German am bassador to London, called upon me often after the outbreak of the war and insisted that he had correctly re- ported the sentiments of England in saying that England did not want war.
 After Prince Lichnowsky's return to Germany the Germans quite un- fairly treated him as a man who had failed, and seemeed to blame him be- cause England had taken the only possible course open to her and ranged herself on the side of France

while dressing afterwards, asked him what he was He answered that he was a "Kaufmann or merchant For the German this answer was enough. It placed him in the rer- chant class. I asked him what sort of Kaufman he was He then told me he was president of a large electrical company.
 Of course, with us he would have answered first that he was president of the electrical company; but, be- ing a German, he
 his caste without going into details It is curious thing on the registers of guests in a German summer re- , sort to see Mrs. Manufactory- Pro- prietor Schultze registered with Mrs. Landrat Schwartz and Mrs. Second Lieutenant von Bing!
 Of course, there is no doubt as to the relative social positions of Mrs Manufactory Proprietor Schultze and Mrs. Second Lieutenant von Bing. Mrs. Manufactory Proprietor
 Schultze may have a steam yacht and a tiara, an opera box and ten
 million marks. She may be an old lady noted for her works of charity. , Her husband may have made dis
 coveries of enormous value to the human race, but she will always be l compelled to take her place behind i Mrs. Second Lieutenant von Bing,
 even if the latter is only seventeen , years old.
 1 Of course, occasionally, officers of the army and navy condescend to marry into the merchant caste, and 1 if a girl has a choice of three equ7l- i ly attractive young men, one a doc | tor, earning s10.0o0 a year: one a
 manufacturer, earning the same
 amount, and one an army officer
 with a won" before his name and
 5000 a year, there is no hesitation on
 her part. She takes the noble and the
 army officer.
 For years all the highest official
 positions of the government have beer

 German "Rat" System of Discipline
 One Of the most successful ways of disciplinilg the people is by the Rat system. Rat" means council lor and is a title of honor given t,, any one who has attained a certain measure of success or standing in his chosen business or profession. For instance, a business man is made a commerce rat, a lawyer a justice rat, a keeper of the archives an archive rat, and so on. The rats are created in this way: First, a man becomes a plain rat, then later on he becomes a secret rat or privy councillor, still later a court secret rat, and later still a ''Wirklicher," or really and truly secret court rat, to which may be added the title of "excellency," and puts the man who has attained this absolutely at the head of the rat" ladder.
 But see the insidious working of the system. By German custom the 1 woman always carries the husband S title. The wife of a successful build CT is known as Mrs Really Truly Secret Court Building Rat, and her social precedence over the other wo- men depends entirely upon her hus- bands position in the rat class Titles of nobility alone do not count when they come in contact with a high gov cTnment position.
 Now, if a lawyer gets to be about forty years old and is not some sort of rat his wife begins to nag him and his friends and relations look at him with suspicion. There must be some thing in his life which prevents his obtaining the coveted distinction, anu if there is anything in mans past, if he has shown at any time any spirit of opposition to the government, as disclosed by the police registers,

XXIII HOW THE PATRlCIAN OLD MAN OF THE SEA RESTRIDES THE SHOULDERS OF
 GERMANY

Prince Lichnowsky, the German am bassadOr in London, certainly reported 10 his government that England did not wish to enter the war. He claims now that he did not mean that Eng land would not fight at all events; but, undoubtedly, the German foreign office believed that England would remain out of the war. The raising ot the Ulster army by Sir Edward Car son, one of the most gigantic political bluffs in all history, which had no more revolutionary or military signifi- canoe than a torchlight parade during one of our presidential campaigns was reported by the German spies as real and serious revolutionary movement. Of course, it was believed by the Germans that Ireland would rise in general rebellion the moment that war was declared. In the sum- mer of 1914 Russia was believed to be on the edge of revolution.
 As l have said in a previous chap ter, the movement against militarism, eliminating in the extraordinary vote in the Reichstag against the govern ment at the time of the Zabean affair warned the government ana IHlllldiy people that the mass of Germans were coming to their senses and were pre- pairing to shake off the bogey of mili tarism and fear. which had rOosed so long on their shoulders like a Prussian Old Man of the Sea. The Pan-Germans and the Annexationists were hot for war. The people alive could recall all three wars, the war against Den
 mark in 1864, which was settled in few days and added the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein to the Prus sian crown, and the war of 1866, in which Bavaria. Baden. Wurttemberg, Hesse- -Darmstadt and SaXony were defeated, when the Austrian kingdom of Hanover disappeared and the ter ritory of Hesse- -Cassel. Nassau and the free city of Frankfort were added to Prussia. This war. from it's declaration to the battle of Konig
 gratz, in which the Austrians were completely defeated. lasted only two weeks. In 1870 France was defeated within month and a half after the opening of hostilities. so that the

There are almost 10000 owners of Hudson Super-Sixes. Now that cars which sold from $1200 to $14O0 cost as much as Hudson Super Six, preference for it is greater than ever. When materials bought last year are exhausted, then the Super-Six must cost more. Judged by the advances made on former cheaper cars, the Super-Six should cost above 5000. See the advan- tage of buying one now at $1650.

Jones this season has raised a tur-

Only few years ago the land oc-

could make 1t a training place to make
the negroes Of the south better, moro
efficient citizens and that dream is
coming true. The school now ranks

ton and with Jones' energy and en-
enthusiasm. bids fair to grow even

Extensive plans are being made by
the members Of the Piney Ridge
school in the south for an agricultural

southern paper, gives something OF
Jones' plans:
At the Piney Woods country life
school, Laurence c. Jones is marshal
ing his forces for battle with the
soil and hopes by dint OF industry
and intelligent culture to raise a crop
that will feed his own students anoth-
err year and leave something to be
thrown on the market to help feed the
state.
The Piney Woods school Is only
twenty miles from Jackson, about two
or three miles this side OF Braxton,
and while the school has closed for
the season, a visit to 1t is OF good
deal of interest and worth while.
The school stands in particularly
billy location, the terrain making one
think OF Switzerland The white build
ings are hidden by thick woods and
water for the school is supplied from
springs, high above sea level and bub-
bling out OF the sandstone, cool, pure
and sparkling.
