THE MONEY GETTER

AS l approach the end l am more
than a little puzzled to account for
the instances l have seen of business
success-money getting. 1t comes
from a rather low instinct. Certainly.
so far as my observation goes, it is
rarely met with in connection with
the finer or more interesting traits
of character. l have known, and
known tolerably well, good many
successful men''-"big" financially
men famous during the last half
century; and less interesting crowd
/ do not care to encounter. Not one
that l have ever known would | care
to meet again. either in this world
or the next; nor in one of them as

CHEERING EN- Up

The German propaganda at hOms
reflects a situation which is obviously
not altogether agreeable to the kaiser
and his military caste. To an outsider
who knows how the propaganda is in
spired and how poorly is fits in with
the facts, it is evident that the Ger
man leaders are pulling the wool over
the peoples eyes.
The most desperate efforts have
been made by Won Hindenburg to
check the British and French Offer
sive. Reserves from Russia have beeI
hurled into breach and for the tin!'
being the military situation is in t:
deadlock, but no one who has follow
ed the situation believes that the al
lies cannot resume the offensive whe'
ever they desire to do so. Even
Germany the hope that the kaiser.
forces will have any success in az
aggressive attack seems to have been
abandoned. Germany is fighting a
strictly defensive warfare.
Yet the emperor informs the people
that the foe has been definitely Chez
ed and that victory for the central
powers is in sight. The same kind
buncombe is credited to the crow
prince, who even claims that the su
marine has brought England to tn
very point of collapse. He, too, fore
sees an early victory-for publica-
ton; Notwithstanding that there is
growing disappointment in Germany
on account of the failure of the su
marine to do what it set out to do.
How long the government, by il
absolute control of the press, ca
keep the people in ignorance, is prof.
lematical. Just what the masses W
