SUB OPPONENT IN

Whether the resignation of nine
members of the Berlin cabinet is mere
ly another act of political legerdc-
main, having as it's purpose the divi-
sion of enemy and neutral sentiment
or whether there is measure of
downright reform therein remains yet
to be seen. That the news was Civ
en- the world through an official an
nouncement from Berlin would indi-
cate that 1t was the former.
One fact stands forth. A ruthless
opponent of ruthless submarine war
fare Is now foreign secretary and
Zimmerman, arch-plotter and con
spirator, is out. DR.. Richard Won
Kuehlmann. new secretary of foreign
affairs, was a vigorous opponent of
the Won Tirpitz group. More exact
information only will establish wheth-
err he has become clay in the hands
OF the kaiser or whether he has be-
come the central figure in a genuine
reform movement. A guess is that
that the former Is the case.

WANTED "PAY"

who Is going to pay me- for the
time I've taken away from my work 90
was the startling question put to one
OF the members of the local draft
board Tuesday afternoon by young
man who had completed his physical
examination and who had compelled
that particular member of the board to
accompany him from the court house
TO the office of the board In the Struble
building lih brder to secure a particu.
lar exemption blank. = 81
The same person who is paying me
for about two months work." replied
theodraft board member disgusted In
wardly at the attitude adopted by the
young man who, though probably inno-
cent' ieeked' asProper appreciation of
things.
Too strong emphasis cannot be laid
upon the fact that no member of the
draft board and no one OF the three
physicians receives a single cent of
pay for his work. This is a positive
financial loss to all men concerned
who have other personal business af.
fairs which could very we'll occupy
their entire time.
Furthermore, the board cannot esti-
mate, even roughly. just how long their
services will be required by the gov
ernment. II 1t becomes necessary to
examine 400 young men to fill the
county's quota, II would take IL days
for physical examinations alone, never
reckoning the time necessary in pass
Ing upon the innumerable claims for
exemption.
The young man who wanted "pay"
for being examined physically Is, for
tunately, the exception. The majority
OF those who have appeared before
the board have shown a willingness,
even a desire, to tighten the heavy
and annoying task which the exemp.
tion board faces daily.

A WEAK LINK

"A neutral observer from one of the
central powers paid flying visit re-
Gently to Petrograd and returned with
the information that "if Americans
think the Russians are anti-German,
they should keep an eye on the Aus
trians who are much more intensely
anti-German than the Russians"
1t is true that this statement is open
to ambiguous construction, as 1t might
be sardonic comment on the German
propaganda with which Russia teens.
The truth of the matter, however, is
that the observer meant literally what
he said-that real hostility toward
Germany exists among the rank and
file OF the dual monarchy.
1t has become an open secret that
Emperor Charles of Austria has set
his heart upon the earliest possible re-
conciliation with America, but, at the
same time, he looks for a peace with
Russia that he may concentrate all of
his armies against Italy.
A separate peace with Austria. in
the abstract, would be heartily well
coined in this country providing that
Austria could be induced to lay down
arms generally. Austria has long
been viewed as separate and apart, in
a sense, from Germany-possibly be-
cause her power is less There is not
the odium attached to the name of
Austria which leaps into the mind
when Germany is mentioned.
A peace with Austria, however, must
not be a German peace 1t must be
spotless of all Teutonic intrigue. 1t
must, in short, be a model for the
peace that later will be made with
Germany.

SILENCE RESISTERS!

That the death penalty should be
invoked to subdue the sporadic re
sistance to the draft which has sprung
up in the west is a stern, but fitting,
step, The acts of the band of mon,
most Of them land-poor farmers, half
breed Indians, etc,-not representa-
tive American citizens in any sense
or the word-are certainly reasonable
and deserve the fullest punishment
permitted by law. As there can be no
large, organized resistance to the
draft, making an example of one Of
the ring.leaders would do much to-.
ward stamping out the somewhat ri
diculous exhibition. There is always
somebody who leaps into temporary
notoriety, and sometimes gets n rath.
or doubtful place in history, during
times of a great national stress. The
government does not need the coun.
sci of John Browns or Daniel Shays
during the present war, The sooner
they are silenced the better.

YEARS A BANKRUPT

An editorial writer in the New York
Evening Post arrives at the conclus
Ion that Germany, as q nation, has be
come morally bankrupt, the Inference
being that all of the finer points OF de-
cency and civilization have ceased to
be characteristics OF the Teutonic race
as far as the present government is
concerned. There is no argument in.
volved in the proposition advanced by
the writer. The question is not de-
batable-it is conceded-but the edi.
torial, save for illusions to conditions
Of 1917. might as well have been writ.
ten in 1870. Germany is little more of
moral bankrupt now than she was
then. only at that time she more sue
cessfully concealed the fact from
the outside world. The exaction of a
million dollars indemnity from France
at the conclusion of the Franco-Prus.
sian war was as fully an uncivilized.
Hunnisb act, from a standpoint of ma
ihOidiS, db htI
the present war Next to outraged civ
ilization, Germany's chief creditor is
her own people-the Goethes, the Wag.
ners, the Munsterbergs-wh while, at the
same time, her biggest debtor is the
Prussian element within her own con-
fines. 1t was the Prussian element in
1870 which forced the German nation
to what has developed into a state Of
moral insolvency. 1t is the Prussian
element in 1917 which is, without q
tinge OF conscience and with maniacal
abandonment, deliberately increasing
this indebtedness. The worlds court
has silently declared the German ma.
tion in a state of moral bankruptcy
and It will be this self.same court that
will supervise the process OF restora-
tion and supervise it In such a way
that the Prussian debtor will utterly
exhaust his resources in paying his
score to the German people.

YEAR TO TRAIN MEN

That the new national draft army
VIII not be called to cantonment camps
until Oct. and that 1t will not be
ready for active fighting service abroad
until September, 1918, are two an.
nouncements from Washington which
Impress upon the civilian the, enormity
of the task OF securing, training and
equipping a new army.
Young men Of all occupations and of
all stages of physical skill, some Dor
and awkward and some graceful and
adept, must be made into one uniform
type OF fighting man and instructed to
point of utmost familiarity with the
instruments OF warfare which will be
placed In their hands. This Is a for.
midable task In itself and will take,
II Is estimated, ten months, to accom-.
plish satisfactorily. Not all of this
training need be done In the United
States, although II is a safe guess that
the majority will receive instruction
here, as some men will be sent to
France for intensive training behind
the fighting lines.
In this gigantic process, the civilian
must bear with the government. He
must not be too hasty in levying criti-
cisms for what may appear to be nee
essary delays In whipping the army IN
10 shane both In the matter of training
and that OF equipment 1t should be
horne In mind, above all things. that
this is, to all practical purposes. the
first time In history that the govern
ment has attempted to solve such
huge military problem, Let no one
worry. Things cannot move too quick
ly for the war department, but they
must, at best, progress slowly.

NORWAY'S SHIP LOSS

Why isn't Norway in the war and
waging the most active campaign of all
the allies against the German govern
ment, is the question which stands
forth on the perusal of a pamphlet en-.
titled "a List of Neutral Ships Sunk
by the Germans" compiled by Pref
w. Macnelle Dixon of the University
of Glasgow.
The list covers the period from Aug
g, 1914. to April rs, 1917 and shows
that a total tonnage of 1853, ,Gj4 has
been sent to the bottom of the seas.
Norway claims 9S7S16 tons of this,
while Holland is second with l4S,G2t
tons sunk, During this period, the
United States lost 1926 tons. "a
True enough, the geographical posi-
tion of Norway places her practically
at the mercy of the central powers, but
even this explanation, somehow or 9th,
er, seems inadequate. Although there
Is no basis for fact in the assertion, il
must be that there is secret under
standing between Norway and Ger
many over the lost tonnage. Certainly
such an agreement would have lent
color to Germany's pronounced decla|
ration that all ships, neutral or enemy
in her barred zone would be sent to
the bottom, inasmuch as Norway has,
since the outset of the conflict, been
recognized as one Of the imperial gov
ernment's neutral partners.
A promise of future financial assist
ance, coupled with a threat of eXtinc-
tion might quickly bring even strong
er nation in line.

1918, and even some small elements OF

announcement OF a condition to the
contrary only emphasizes the more
strongly that haphszard reports about

The crest OF Germany's wave has
been reached. From now on, the pro-
cess of modification must and Is set
ting In. The one opportunity for the
imperial government to accomplish her
dastardly purpose has departed, let US
hope forever.
The appearance in the ranks, ahead
Of time, OF the classes of 1918 and 1919
is bound TO create a suspicion In the
minds Of the German fighting men that
victory is not within such easy grasp
as they have been informed. The lurk.
Ing suspicion will arise, and has aris.
