Only England remained steadfast.
And in the end through the stubborn
courage and faith of England, Napoleon
was defeated and sent an exile to the

1t was a war of attrition in which the
holder of the'biggest pile of dollars and

win.
SO in this war, when we despair, when

The British movie artist who has be

ness has just signed a new contract for
eight pictures at s1,075,O0O
That's S134,375 a picture.
On the liberal estimate of 100 tumbes
to each picture he receives a thousand
and some odd hundred dollars for every
time he sits down on chair that isn't

he enjoys it.

Federal income tax experts have not

But then-the hundred dollars the
court awards the man bumped by a street
car may not be real money, either, if the
company appeals.
Can it be that it is more profitable to
act in the movie than to hurry home to

The Virtue of Sitting
Steady-the Allies Hold
the, Winning Hand!

In many par ) of the world many men,
who ardently desire to see the overthrow
of the German military autocracy, must
often despair of that hoped-for consum-
nation.
They must often say to themselves that
German efficiency and German organiza-
ton have mad, German defeat impossi-
BILE.
They must often sit down and figure
how Germany has for three years resist
ed the attacks of England, France, Italy
and Russia, four of the greatest nations
in the world.
They learn of ammunition and supplies
still going forward in steady stream to
German armies which are still being re-
plenished by fresh drafts from the
youths who are becoming men.
They read of the slaughter attendant
upon every mile gained from the Teuton
armies.
And they wonder whether it is possible
to defeat the most brutal force that was
ever let loose upon an anguished world
It so happens that little over 100
years ago men all over the world were in
like case.
Napoleon, like the kaiser, represented
to them the acme of all that was evil, and
at that Napoleon never made war upon
helpless women and children, never de-
ported civilians into slavery. never as
sassinated the Cavells and the Fryatts Of
his time.
But Napoleon did stand for organiza-
ton, for efficiency, for military science,
for tremendous employment of artillery,
for sudden and terrifying marches of his
devoted legions.
For years and years he kept Europe in
\ turmoil.
For years men were poured into the
caldron of war never to appear again.
For years endless blood and treasure
were spent in the endeavor to topple the
emperor from his seat of power.
Nations entered the lists against him

So Nothing Remains
ToBe Done, Now, But To
Crush Germany, Utterly
Germany has dropped the mask.

Germany mas uiVPPSu viz '
Convinced that there is no further
hope of fooling the people of Russia and
America by fair words, and alarmed at
the effect which their liberal propa-
0anda. intended for outside consumption
in stimulating democratic sentiment at
home, the Berlin autocracy has aban-
doned all pretense.
It has dropped all the hypocrisy about
defense of the fatherland, freedom OF the
seas, etc., and proclaimed its cause 1or
what It is, and has been from the first,
a ruthless war of conquest on behalf OF
German Imperialism.
These are the only conclusions IL Is
possible to draw from Chancellor holl-
wep's long-awaited Reichstag speech, an
utterance which we commend to the
careful consideration of such persons as
may still believe that anything now snort
of the utter defeat of the German gov
eminent can bring about a peace which
would not be infinitely worse than war.
Answering the demands of the Ger
man liberals for declaration Of war pol
icy, based on peace without annexa-
TONS" the chancellor is reported as hav-
ing said:
Peace without annexation is not &C
ceptable to Germany. / cannot declare
our terms. Germany can win if she
holds out"
How the chancellor's words were re-
ceived has not become apparent at this
writing.
It is probable, however, that the autoc-
racy is sufficiently powerful to complete
ly crush any resentment which the liber-
ais may manifest at this treatment Of
their demands for a statement Of inten-
tions which would open way to the end
Of the war.
But, in any event, Won Bethmann Holl
veg, in taking this stand, has perform
ed an enormous service for the Allies.
He has absolutely and finally justified
the statement of the British premier,
concurred in by President Wilson, that
peace on any other terms than the utter
defeat of Germany would be the greatest
disaster which could overtake the world

Toward Unity.
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

1t is at least interesting, tho il may
sometimes render one nuisance, to take
long look ahead. | say it makes nui-
sance Of one. Did you ever reflect that
the main trouble with those enthusiasts
who would turn the world upside down"
is that they have got drunk on the Fu-
ture? Fixing their gaze upon far dis
tant point of human development, they
are apt to be impatient with their plod-
ding fellows who have to rub along with
conditions as they are, feed the children,
run the government, and keep the furnace
going in the school house.
Such are Christians (what few real
ones there may be-, Socialists, anarchists,
pacifists, single takers, prohibitionists,
and the like.
But let us see what the Future will
probably bring to the race. Certain goals
are clearly indicated What are they?
l. The trend of all forces now extant
among men is toward Unity. All lines of
development are converging. 1t is no
mere fine phrase of Tennyson's:
The one Zivine far OF event
To which the whole creation moves.
2. For inStance, there will never be
another new race, such as German. Afri-
can, French, and so on. What caused
these races in the first place was isolation.
IF the ancestors of Swede and Arab,
Saxon and Negro, Greek and Chinaman
had all lived together and freely inter-
married there would never have been any
Swedes, Arabs. Saxons, Greeks. or C1rina-
men, but instead homogeneous race diff
fering from them ALL said Professor
Maynard f. Metcalf of the Orchard Lab
oratory of Oberlin, Ohio, in a recent add
dress before the Chinese Students ALI

1--WE are entering upon a new anthro-
biological period, period in which diver
gent evolution has ended and fusion of
the races will begin. The ultimate human
species will be one complex race fused
from all those present races which sue
coed in persisting.'
3. There never will be another Ian
DldleCIS dlSO were CtuStu anu uc-
veloped by isolation. Time will bring
some day that universal compound tongue
toward which Volapuk and Esperanto are
the artificial strivings.
4. Nationaism will eventually cease.
1t is too expensive and too dangerous. The
Parliament of Man is nearer than we
think. 1t is becoming stern, military
necessity.
5. The present form of religious ex-
preston, by denominational organize
tons, will die away. The moral senti-
ment of mankind is steadily unifying.
More and more emphasis is being laid
upon those ethical impulses common to
all creeds In time there will be one
