The Tlcilight Of the Kings

GSTT is the twilight Of the kings The republic
y marches east in Europe" said the Chicago
Tribune, in its issue of August q 1914, the day
before Great Britain entered the war, Today, in
Europe swift moving events commence to show
the editorial Of the Tribune to have been prophe
tically inspired. One great emperor is gone, two
other emperors and two kings see their thrones
slipping 1t is the twilight Of the kings fast dark
ening into night.
The editorial of the Tribune, remarkable con.
trbution to the literature, especially writer
when it was, in full Isl.
Before establishing hell earth the petistc kings
commend their subjects to God. Seek the Lord Is
sanction for the devils work.
sand now commend you to God, = said the
Kaiser from his balcony to the people in the street
$50 to church and knee before God and pray for His
help for our gallant army"
Pray that farmer dragged from Saxon field shall
be speedier with a bayonet thrust than wnemaker
4 taken from his vines in the Aube that Berlin
lawyer shall be steader with the rifle than Moscow
merchant; that machine gun manned by Heidelberg
students shall not jam and that one worked by Paris
carpenters shall.
Pray that Bayarian hop grower, armed in a quar-
rel in which he has no heat, shall out march wheat
grower from Poltava; that Cossacks from the Don
shall be lured into barbed wire entanglements and
caught ~ S masked that an Of sS
Go to church and pray for help, that the hell
shall be hotter in innocent Ardennes than it is in
equally innocent Hessen; that it shall be hotter in
innocent Kovno than in equally innocent Posen.
And the pietstic Gar commends his subjects to God
that they may have strength of arm in quarrel they
do not understand; that they may inhict suffer
ngs than they required to endure and the of
Romanof be greater than the of Hohenzollern,
that II may be greater than the name Of Hapsburg,
that its territories shall be wider and the territories
of Hohenzollern and the territories of Hapsburg
The pietstic Emperor of Austria commends his sub
jects God, TO seek divine assistance TO crush the
peasants of Seryia dragged from the wheat field
when. IL ready to be given to the scythe and
given to the scythe themselves. .8
This is, think, the last call of monarchy upon
Divinity when Asmodeus walks in armor The kings
worship Baal and call il God but out of the sacrifice
will come, think resolution firmly taken to have
wheat growers and growers Of corn, makers
Of wine, miners and fishers, artisans and traders,
sailors and storekeepers offered up with prayer to the
Almighty in feudal slaughter, armed against each
other without hate and without cause they know or
if they knew, would give penny which way it was
determined. -a4zs
This Is the twilight of the kings. Western Europe
of the people may be caught in this debaee but never
again Eastern Europe of the kings will be remade
and the name Of God shall not give grace to hun
dred square miles Of broken bodies.
III Divinity enters here il comes with a sword TO
deliver the people from the sword.
IT is the twilight Of the kings. The republic
marches east in Europe.
