Germany's Sin In
The Bible Lands

When the day of reckoning comes for
the kaiser and his advisers. not the least
of the sins charged up against them VIII
be the woe they have permitted 70 come
TO thousands, even millions, of Christian
men. women and children in the Bible
lands.
Ii will not do for the Prussians 20 seek
to evade their blood-guilt by saying they
are not responsible for what the Mos'em
Turks do The terrible record. smeared
with the blood of the innocentS, cannot
be explained away. Before the way there
were millions of Armenian and Syrian
Christians turnout the Turkish posses
sions i'm Asia Minor. By their industry.
their thrift. they were the WorthleSt
portion Of the population The instant
Turkey was dragooned into the war by
the Prussians, a reign of hell unmiu-
gated began.
Thousands upon thousands Of Chris
tians were maSsacred. The women and
children were driven from their homes
and many Of the former were sold IN the
streets for as low as s. apiece.
In one instance the ArmenianS We're
ably defending themselves when German
army officers brought az cannon and dis
lodged the unfortunateS. Doubtless IN
stances could be multiplied showing
German participation
But even aside from this, much of the
guilt rests upon German shoulders be-
cause the servants of the kaiser have had
finger in every Turkish pie. They have
dominated the Turkish government.
This being the case, il is clear if the
Germans had wished to save the Ar
menians and Syrians. they could have
done so. An order or to put it more
mildly, suggestion from them to the
Turks would have been sufficient. No
such hint was given. The Germans,
busily engaged in giving the Begians
and the French a taste Of ruthlessness
had no objection 10 their Moslem friends
and allies inventing their own peculiar
brand of schrecklichkeit for the unfor-
tunateS in the Bible lands.

The Enemy
eY OR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. BY Frank Crane)

Whoever YOU are there's somebody
that doesn't like you.
The one constant figure on life's stage
is the enemy. He's always there, sitting
grim and silent, or busy with hostility.
BE thou as pure as ice, as chaste as
snow, thou shalt not escape calumny"
Gentle maiden, as good as fair. with
heart warm and kind TO all Gods crea-
lures anxious to spread happiness as
May TO spread flowers, it seems incred-
ibe but there is some one TO whom your
presence is offense, and to whom your
'surcease would be pleasingl
In the chemistry of souls this repel-
lency is most curious, but undemable. No
human force ever comes into the world
without its opposite Every positive has
it's negative. In every love is little spot
of hate. Heaven and hell. in their deep
er significance, touch every human heart.
Caesar had his Brutus, Socrates his
Meletus, and Jesus the envious Phari-
sees.
When | read any book that pleases me,
human Dickens or quiet Wordsworth, the
exquisitely fooled woodcraft Of Vernon
Lee or the smashing liveliness of Conan
Doyle. it often comes TO me-somebody
doesn't like this.
Queer, isn't il? Sinister and strange,
but true Little dove, the hawk scars
Silly watching little fly, the spider
swings ready in his web; little doe, the
cougar crouches behind the bush little
soul, among the gods walks one who
looks darkly at you.
And the higher you climb, the bright
er you write your name upon flames
scroll, the louder your applause and the
more signal your triumph, the surer
there VIII be, somewhere muffted m the
cheering crowd, the sombre figure of
some "Mordecai sitting at the kings
gate"
Is not America a beloved country
There are those who loathe il unreServ-
eddy Is not President Wilson fine fg-
ure among statesmen? There are many
who would rejoice at his downfall, who
watch eagerly to find his mistakes and
herald them.
In way the strength of the enemy
lis a reliable measure of ones success.
The more you amount 20, the sharper the
Kisses. Many a man has been elected to
congress by his enemies, and many
writer has been bounded TO fame.
The best way to meet the enemy Is
to let him see that you do not think it
worth while to fight him. Nothing so
Ienrages malice as to discover that you
don't mind. Nothing so disarms attack
as for you to go about your business as
usual. Such defense is more effective
than blows; kindness is the most ex-
asperating vengeance.
When in doubt, say nothing Your
enemy can answer everything you can
possibly say, can retaliate against every
thing you can possibly do. except one
thing. That is silence.

Stories there have been in plenty Of
Teuton barbarism in Belgium, but, in
general. they have been accepted at a
heavy discount
It was hard for Americans TO believe
that civilized men could be guilty of the
shocking cruelties Of which the Germans
stood accused.
individuals, it was thought, might
have committed such excesses, but sure
" they were only isolated instances. The
Germans as a whole, it was believed were
innocent Of revolving crimes against non

all things German, to drive home the
fact that the German army has been
guilty of wholesale outrage on scale
unsurpassed in human history.
He has told in plain language the re-
voting truth concerning those incidents
which have been spoken Of only IN whiS-
pers.
He has described in detail the commits
sion of crimes against women and chill
dren so vile in character that the annals
of degeneracy scarcely furnish parallel.
He backs his charges with evidence
sufficient to convict in any court of law.
He deliberately accuses the German
government of having carried out these
cHnes with scientific throroness and &C
cbrding to a prearranged schedule.

are done by advice and consent o. the

His words should be pondered by those
who would make premature or incomplete
peace with the Teuton beast.

I true patriotism and understanding OF the
meaning Of the war. Various schools are
adopting some of President Wilson's notes
! as texts for study. Careful handling Of
such material is urged by "The st. Louis
Republic" which fears that hatred of mill
tarism may be allowed to extend to the
whole German people under the guise OF
patriotism. "To the children Of to-day
warns "The Republic twill fall in years
to come the task Of reconciliation, and
that reconciliation can be delayed for many
wears by any sort Of reckless or unfair
overstatement Of the case against Ger
many" The other extreme of what the
schools should teach in connection with
this German problem is that voiced by
THE Oklahoma City Oklahoman," which
thinks German should not be taught IN
the schools. Says "The Oklahoman":
MAY we further suggest that, though the
German language be cut out OF the COURSE
the high school pupils ought, by all means
to be taught things about Germany-about
the real Germany, not the fictitious Germany
servile and unntclleent devotion? 1t would
be an excellent piece of educational service,
IL seems to US, to inform our high school
pupils about the school system of Germany
And the beginning of the school year Is
most timely occasion.
Teach our young people the autocrst!c
character OF the miserable German school
system; its open acknowledgement and prac-
tice of the belief in the mental inequality o.
the sexes; it, unjust attitude toward women.
Teach them how, under the German schooI
system, the parent can exercise no cohtroi
over the education OF his child. Snow the
abominable caste system that prevails IN tne
schools of Germany; how the children OF the
lower classes are seldom, if ever, found in
the same schools with the children OF the
middle classes; and how the latter are not
permjtted TO attend the schools set apart for
the children Of the highest class. Explain
how there are four classes in the German
community. and the vicious arrangement oy
which an old, despicable segregation is MAN
tanned. And why Don't stop with the facts
Of the German school system. Probe into
its black philosophy.
at seems 10 US it would be highly inform
ing, too to impress upon our high school
pupils the narrow, denomInatlonal, bigoted
character of the German school system and
how that bigotry extends its blight into after
life. Show the alliance between Church and
State Explain how no German merchant
can employ a native German boy, no me-
chanic accept an apprentice, no housekeeper
a servant girl unless the applicant can pro

That is the common school diploma. The
only exception to the rule Of religious IN

Public Ledger" thus commends the eff
cheney of the great industrial combina-
tons, INCLUDING the railroads:
"That the railroads Of the country are
about to be confronted with the greatest prob
lem in their history by being asked to move
in a months time more than 100000 men,
while keeping the movement of freight and
crops on an even keel and not paralyzing the
business of the country, is only one of the
numerous gigantic issues connected with the
war that putting American efficiency to
the test. And that the test is being met in a
way that rebounds TO me credit Of all, not
only those in authority in Washington but
the great industrial executives throughout
the country agree, while foreign observers
have commented in terms of unstinted pra Sc
over what has been accomplished and over
the great speeding up that is to come
Further on THE Ledger" refers to the
situation to-day as compared to the stu
alton existing during the Civil War-a
situation that seemed, at its best, on occa-
sions to be mere weller of unframed
mobs acting in an undeveloped country
without resources, physical or mechan-
ical"
War as a teacher is seen by THE Har-
risburg Patriot" which says:

things we should do, but If among other
things it helps the railroads solve the big

As evidencing a measure of the magni-
tUde of the railroads task The Worces-
ter Telegraph points out that

time the railroads are 20 move the 100000

German spies also make too many observa-
tons and send the news 10 the Kaiser through
the Central American wireless stations"
That cooperation on the part of the
public is one Of the factors contributing to
efficiency is emphasized in a letter from
l.. +. Loree, president Of the Delaware
& Hudson, to his executives. Mr.. Loree
says, in part:
Cooperation Of patrons and public. in
many quarters where there has been inditfer
encc or hostility, it must be admitted, is
largely responsible for the splendid results
thus far attained. A spirit of helpfulness on
the part Of persons dealing with the railroads,
prompted by patriotism IL face of actual war,
has permitted economy and efficiency in oper
alton previously not attainGble.'
The railroad head speaks further of
keeping a record showing just how the
public attitude has helped"

II erman Socialists Voting Against
VI Fairness and Frankness

Whatever the facts of the case, the
decision of the school board is serving to
foster anti-German sentiment. THE Jour
nal" points out that five of the eight d.
rectors who voted against giving parents
and children a fair deal and against a
frank compliance with the state law" are
members of the German Socialist party.
These eight persons, "The Journal" says,
Twill find that they cannot treat the state
law as "A mere scrap of paper"
Closely connected with this trouble.
