Petrograd, Oct. 1.-THE generals

of Kiev. were compelled to walk three

they were jeered, stoned and threat.

The officers escaped alive through
the strategy of a member OF the
cadet guard. who, according to re-
ports, started the train out of the
station as it was being fired upon by
the mob. as
The prisoners were brought from
the guardhouse at 8 p. M. to wnere
motor cars, surrounded by a hostile
crowd, was waiting. The SO cadets
who formed the guard, had difaculty
in. standing off the mob, which de-
manded that the generals be rrend
cred to them for summary punish
ment. The mob refused to permit the
prisoners to ride and insisted that
they walk the longest possible route
to the station through h principal
streets. The mob followed, throwing
sticks and stones. The procession
was stopped at each street lamp to
prolong the batting. while the crowd
shouted "kill the traitors"
General Arloff was struck In tho
eye by a missile while General am
oufsky's spine was injured seriously.
When the prisoners arrived at the
station the mob demanded that they
be put in a convict car instead of the
coaches prepared for them. The
guard compromised on the baggage
car. but the mob still refused to perf

AIR ROAD TO VICTORY, CHARTED

IMPOSSIBLE BUT TRUE

When, q little over three years ago there were rumors
OF the probability of a great war in Europe of unreason-
the thing was impossible. War on any considerable scale
and reason instead of force was the element that ruled
its affairs.
When Werner Horn was arrested for using the ter
ritory Of the United States to hatch a conspiracy for the
destruction of the Welland canal, and he declared his i'm
munity from arrest on the ground that he was a German
soldier, acting under the instructions Of his superiors. that
statement was generally believed to be the raving of a
demented man or the fimsy excuse Of a criminal who
could think of no other at the moment. Germany and the
United States were at peace. The German government
was the government of a modern and civilized people:
and 1t was impossible that that government should so far
forget all the proprieties of international intercourse as
to authorize the use of the territory of a neutral to con-
duct a military enterprise against its enemy
When stories of German atrocities began to circulate
we believed them to be at the most the amplifcation by
excited people of isolated cases of wrong doing for which
a few individuals were to blame, and not the German
army as a whole, or the German government in any of
its branches. 1t was impossible that a civilized govern
ment could authorize the commission Of such enormities
as had been reported. i
We know more about these things today. War came
because at the head Of a great nation there was an am
bilious monarch and a ,sef-willed clique who were deter
mined on war. The Serbian.incident. was used as a pre-
text because it occurred at a time which matched with
the desires of the German government. War had been
pre-arranged, and war we had,
The Horn incident was an Insignificant item in a long
list of ofenses against American neutrality which have
been shown by indisputable documentary evidence to have
been planned and promoted by authority and under the
direction of the German government.
AS to the atrocities, the stories which were at the be-
ginning ridiculed as being impossible have proven to be
but mild statements of a small number Of cases out Of
the thousands that actually occurred.

AS Englishn1en Fought Britain in l776
10 Break Autocracy's Shackles So
Germans Should Uown Prussianism

Even al the colonists in fighting
the tyranny Of the Georges fought for
the whole English people, so are we,
the democratic peoples OF the world,
In fighting the mad militarism of the
kaiser, are fighting for the whole
German people," said Chief Justice
andrew A. Bruce in addressing a dis
trict Liberty Loan rally in Valley
City. -
I'VE r not making war on the
German people but upon an aristo-
cratic German government which
knows no law but the law of might
and openly asserts that no treaty or
contract is Of binding force If one
is strong enough to break it. 1t is
a wal OF right against might of honor
against dishonor.
Just as our American revolution
airy fathers fought the battle Of all
Englishmen in fighting against the
un-English tyranny of George the
third, and In doing 20 brought free
dom not only to America but to Eng
land itself. SO we r fighting the bat
tie of the great masses of the Ger
mans themselves.
mans in America to do what English
men in America did in 1875. They
fought against the ~aristocratic gov
eminent of their old fatherland be-
cause that government was false to
democracy n false to its trust and
they fought against relatives and
friends. They did this because,
stronger than the ties Of kinship and
language and birth, was the call of
humanity and Of universal comrade-
ship. We must choose between the
political philosophy of Nietzsche and
the Kaiser and the political philoso-
ply of Christ Christ taught the Cos
pei of a universal father and Of hui
man brotherhood and He prayed that
the meek the simple folk, might in
herit the earth. Nietzsche and the
Kaiser preach the gospel. not of
right OF of human brotherhood, but
of the strongest battalions.
Christ taught that liberty and OPP
opportunity and hope was for all
men. The Prussian a%ristocrat teach
es that all the world is for Germany
and all Germany is for the Prussian
a~ristocrat. The Prussian doctrine of
the Divine Right, Of might, and of
the German superman is opposed to
all that bur flag stands for and to
all that America means.
Liberty More Than Peace.
There can be no world peace until
right is placed above might. There
can be no world peace until inter-
national law is respected and lived
up to and treaties are more than mere
scraps Of paper.
I'VE do not believe in war for
wars sake. We are. however, Meth
er too proud o too cowardly to
fight. We prize liberty more than
peace. We place honor above mere
comfort and sordid gain. We are not
willing hat our ships should be
driven from the seas. nor are we will

ELECTRICITY SPEEDS UP MODERN WARFARE

"What I said Of searchlights ana

the big wonder Of the navy is 60

have already a proof in the American
naval collier Jupiter. "A team turbine

effective method of driving ships.
