erument Is most frank and reassuring.
Hts country Is pledged TO defend China
against aggression, just as we are pledged
to protect South America. He maintains
that Japan has no desire TO attack
Chinese sovereignty and that the door
IL open to the worlds trade.
Ishil asks us to cast out the devil OF
suspicion and dlstrust." His principal
message seems to be that all thought of
a future possible war between his country
and ours should be abandoned forever,
and we certainly have met him half
way. Distrust of Japan's motives has
always been a manufactured product In
this country. Whenever a Congress-
man wanted to strengthen an argument
for more battleships, he said, Look at
japan" He was not concerned for
Chinese sovereignty. and he knew that
eghting was no way to get trade. But
is was an easy argument to cry, LOOK
at Japanr and the habit was FORMED IL
is habit that we are going to cut OUT
beginning now.

TWIN ALLEGIANcEs

DHILADELPHIA and New York are
4 now engaged in fight to a finish
with gang autocracy. The issue in both
cases is whether the people are to own
their own city or hand II over to little
group Of corrupt men. While we are
lighting for democracy abroad we are
fighting for II at home.
Thus the pacihco-Socialist, that strange
hyphen Of the times, is answered He
has been whining that we ought to make
America safe for democracy while making
the world safe for It, But that is what
we are trying TO do, while he helps the
Kaiser with one hand and the city gang
with the other. He will not vote for
Mitchell, Just as he would not vote for
Blankenburg or for Porter.
1t may be said that a man has twin
one to his country and one
to his city The two go hand in hand
1t is not only civic patriotism, it is ma
tional patriotism as we'll, that demands
the defeat of the gang in November. Fol
the outrages committed by city gangs
distract mems attention from their ma.
tional duty. These gangs help our enc.
mics abroad by stirring up dissension a
the very time that we should be mos
united

COAST DEFENSE REsERYIsTs
To The Editor Of The Epeninn Ledaer:

10 me EdtOr OF the EOentng Ledger
Sir--It was with a great deal of pleasure
that l noticed in yesterdays EVENING
LEDGER the pictures of some Of the coast
defense reservists at Cape May.
l believe that this Is the first that any
OF our Philadelphia papers have printed
regarding this camp, and so far as the
newspapers are concerned l don't believe
any one outside of those who have bovs in
this camp knew that there was such a
place. l hope that your paper will give us
more of what is going on at this camp, as
most of the boys are from Philadelphia.
Another subject that l wish to comment
on is the discriminating charges in the fare
the railroad companies are making. Last
Saturday 500 of these boys had leave to
come home and stay till Sunday evening
The Philadelphia and Reading consented
to run a special for them leaving Cape
May at 1880 Saturday afternoon and re-
turing leaving Camden Sunday evening at
o'clock. For this accommodation they
charged them $3.50 for the round trip. Now,
II it had been a party of Philadel-
phians that wanted to go on fishing trip
and good time they would have had the
same accommodations for 81 round trip
Here are lot Of boys who have left their
home or schools, some of them good posi-
tions to answer their country's call, and
for the privilege of serving their country
these great patriotic corporations charge
them two and one-haf times as much as
they would an ordinary person.
l understand that these boys will be
allowed TO come home every two or
three weeks and there will be 500 to 1000
that will come at time.

DREAM UNFuLFILLED

Three years ago Germany began this
war for the conquest of Middle Europe.
What has she gained? What has this gain
cost her?
She has gained by her arms the terri
tories Of Belgium, Luxemburg, Serbia, a
small but rich section of northern France
and parts of Lithuania. Poland and Ru-
mania-a total Of little less than 2O4, 900
square miles.
She has lost:
Except for an insignificant corner in
southern Africa, all her colonies, over a
million square miles.
Virtually all her shipping not bottled
up In Bremen and Hamburg a loss esti-
mated in tonnage at $500 600.
OF the flower Of her youth more than
10000
In cash. nearly $4,000, ,OOO,O to be
added to her national debt.
Before the war. though unpopular as a
people. Germany was honhred among ali
nations for her intellectual scholarship and
her industrial efficiency. She IS lost ire
trievaby this respect and won In It's place
the mingled hatred and contempt Of the civ.
iliEed world. Scarcely considerable neutral
nation Is left except those whose safety oom-
pels their neutrality.
No one thinks Germany can retain her
gains. No one imagines that she can re-
cover her losses. II is not strange that
some Of the German people are SERIOUSLY
discussing among themselves the question
whether II Is not time 10 change their busi-
ness managers.--The outlook

METHOD IN GERMAN MADNESS

KITCHENER at the beginning of the
AA war asked Parliament to authorize
the enlistment of 100000 men, which
seemed so trivial a preparation, begun at
the eleventh hour to head off Germany's
countless legions that Matthias Erzber-
ger broke into loud outlaws. He wrote:
Germany will be enchanted when this
half million advances against us. We
will put some old military man, so de-
crepit that he can hardly sit on his horse,
in command of a squadron of semi-inva.
lids, and he will soon capture all these
English and turn them over to a Barnum
to be shown at fairs as the latest wonder
Of the world
But Great Britain has raised nearly
5,5O0,0OO men and her dominions another
100000 for the British army. So there
must be new joke, the American army.
Says the Leipziger Neueste Nachrichten:
Really any one who has seen parts of
the regular army of the Americans and
knows something of the modern history
of these braves is reminded of Fastaff's
Guards. Hindenburg will make short
work of the recruits and volunteers from
the other side of the great pond should
there be time enough to enable them to
be trained. Conscientious and cautious
study enables us to say that we need not
overestimate the American danger.
And now Won Tirpitz informs the Hun.
garians that Americas army is a phan.
tom and that all Central Europe has to
do is to hold fast while the U-boats win
the war; although he knows that the
U-boat campaign is a failure.
But 1t would be most ilnwise to dis.
miss this talk as mere froth. There is
method in the madness Of these state.
ments. They prove that it is the inten-
tion of the German ruling class to deceive
the people to the end. They prove that
what we have before us is no mere -four.
ish Of arms, but some very real and ter
rible fighting. The masters of Germany
know their country is beaten, but they
are only concerned for themselves. 1t is
their own future they are fighting for.
II they made peace now on reasonable
terms they would see their own power
gone Rather than that they will prefer
TO see Germany so crippled and hu-
inflated that she will not have spirit
enough left to ask for self-government.
They are not waiting for the Allies to
wear themselves out They are waiting
for Germany to wear herself out, so that
she will fall broken and intimidated
slave, TO be ruled over by their sons.

SATURDAY, at 1880 p. m. approM-

cream soda at a wellknown Chestnut
street candy store where the material is
good and the girl behind the counter
bit untidy. / paid ten cents for said soda
and had not less than one thousand dol
lars worth of fun out Of it; to wit as
follows:
A husky girl (Swede perchance) at my
left was counting pile of checks when
the dame entered. She looked round and

voice said, "You poor, benighted useless

proper as would become a duchess walk
ing incog., but there was a suspicious color
on her cheeks that ended in a suspicious
straight line at the jaw.
Enter little girl back of the counter
slim, black.haired, untidy, not pretty, but
rather intelligent as to looks.
The voice came forth again, to the lit.
tie dark girl. There was class to that
voice. l know class when | hear it, or
ought to, but l can't tell yet whether that
voice wasn't just a little too classy. Any.
way, it said: I'D like sliced chicken
(what'd she expect, chicken a la kingD
sandwich and a ginger ice cream soda
with a good deal Of ginger, please Chat
was a new one on mel. How much will
that be?"
And the voice said: "'Tis 1! Behold!
I, the most wonderful woman in tho
world, who condescend to address you.
You, you insignificant, useless, low-down,
good.for-nothing atom of humanity. Be
impressed! There is nothing like me in
the world. Bow down, worship, and ulI
derstand that, though l am always polite,
l have not as "A matter Of fact, seen you
at ALL" and the queen, duchess and
granddame all in one went across to the
desk to buy her thirty.flve.cent check.
Was the blackhaired kid duly i'm.
pressed? She was-not! She clicked her
heels together, stood up very straight, put
her left arm against her side, brought
her right hand, palm outward, to her
temple in the saluting posture and for
an instant stood without a smile Then
she opened her mouth in mock wonder,
her tongue flew out and downward over
her lower lip--not at the duchess. Then
she rolled her eyes and grinned at me
and l heard her whisper to herself, my
goodness" and the voice said: Forget it!
You can't pull none o. that stuff round
here. Say! l see more real ladies in a
day than you do in year. You can't
put none o. that over on me-"
I slipped off my stool and went my
way. But if the duchess sees these lines
ri be indebted if she'll tell me whether
that red stuff was only paint or some
terrible affiiction. A. CRABB.
