Pierce Park and Collister.

There will be a school election at
Pierce Park April l6 to select a sue
cessor to Sigel Clark, whose term of
office expires at that time.
Floyd White, who is superintendent
Of the big Collister ranch at Soldier
Creek, is here for few days. He re-
ports the season 25 or 80 days late
In that country. The bunch grass is
beginning to grow and their stock can
now live on pasture.
Lewis Bowers, who injured his knee
recently, and was on crutches for a
time, has about recovered from the in
jury.
Pierce Park mid week service waA
held at the home Of Sigel Clark Thurs
day evening. After the usual service,
a pleasant surprise was sprung on
Mrs. Clark, it being her birthday. Gifts
were presented, a social time enjoyed,
and delicious refreshments served.
About 20 persons were present.
Pierce Park Ladies' Aid will meet
with Mrs. Edwin Atkinson Wednesday
afternoon.
Charles Kromrei has a force of men
at work in Pierce Park, preparing the
grounds for golf links. Part of the
park is being cleared OF timber, and
other parts are being ieveled.

would have to stimulate him daily, per-
haps hourly.
ON VERGE OF BREAKDOWN.

So it is with the German nation. The
country is on the verge of a nervous
breakdown. Men and women, business
men and generals, long ago lost their
patience. They are undernourished,
they are depressed, distressed, suffer-
ing and anxious for peace. 1t is as
true of the Hamburg American linz
directors as it is true of the officers at
the front.
There have been more cases of nerv-
Gus breakdowns among the people
during the last year than at any time
in Germany's history. There have been
so many suicides that the newspapers
are forbidden to publish them. There
have been so many losses on the bat
tlefields that every family has been af-
fected not once, but two, three and
four times. Dance halls have been
closed. Cafes and hotels must stop
serving meals by l o'clock. Theaters
are presenting the most sullen plays.
Rumors spread like prairie fires. One
day Hindenburg is dead. Two days lat
er he is alive again.
But the kaiser has studied this war
psychology. He and his ministers
know that one thing keeps the German
people fighting-their hope of ultimate
victory; their belief that they have
won already. The kaiser knows. too,
that if the public mind is stimulated
from day to day by new victories, by
reports of many prisoners. of new ter
ritory gained, of enemy ships torpe-
doed, or by promises of reforms after
the war, the public will continue fight
ing.
So the kaiser CANDLES from day to
day with his peoples nerves. For two
years he has done this, and for two
years he has been supported by 49,
600 900 man power army and a larger
army of workers and women at home.
The kaiser believes he can gamble for
long time yet with his people.
Just as it is impossible for a physi-
clan to say how long his patient can
be stimulated without breaking down.
so it is impossible for an observer in
Germany to say how long it will be
before the breakup comes in Ger
many.
MANY CRISES WEATHEREp.
Many times during the war Germany
has been on the Verge of collapse.
President Wilson's ultimatum after the
sinking of the Sussex in the English
channel brought about one crisis. Won
Falkenhayn's defeat at Verdun caused
another. The Somme battle brought on
third. General Brusiloffs offensive
against the Austrians upset conditions
throughout the central powers. Ru-
manias declaration of war made an
other crisis. But Germany passed all
of these successfully.
The ability of the German govern
ment to convince the people that Will
son was unneutral and wanted war
caused them to accept Germanys note

Weary of the war, de-
pressed and suffering, the
German people are today
still fighting the kaiser's
battles because the kaiser
and his generals are the
greatest jugglers of human
nature in Europe.
When Americans ask,
Chow long can Germany
hold out - | reply, AS long
as the German government
can satisfy the vanity and
stimulate the nerves OF the
people, and as long as the
people permit the govern
mcnt to do the nation S
thinking
WHY NOT QUIT? THE ANSWER.
How long n time that will be no one
can say. 1t was formerly believed that
whenever a nation reached the limit
which Germany has reached it would
crumple up. But Germany fails 10
crumple. Instead of breaking up, she
fights harder and more desperately
WHY can she do this? The answer is
simple: Because the German people be-
licve in their government and the gov
eminent knows that as long as it can
convince the people that it is winning
The war the people will fight.
Germany is toda.' in the position
of a man on the verge of nervous
breakdown: in the position of a man
who is undernourshed who is de-
pressed, who is weighed down by CO.
lossal burdens, who is brooding over
the Joss of friends and relatives, but
of a man who feels that his future
health and happiness depend upon his
ability to hold out until the crisis
passes.
If a physician were called in to pre-
scribe for such u patient his first act
would in all probability be to stimulate
this mans hope. to make him believe
that if he would only hold out" he
would pass the crisis successfully. But
no physician could say that his patient
could stand it for one week, a month
or year more. The doctor would have
10 gamble upon that mans nerves. Ht

in the Sussex case. The defeat at Ver-
dun was explained as tactical sue
cess. The Somme battles, with their
terrible losses, failed to bring a break
up because the allies stopped attack
ing at the critical moment.
Won Hindenburg's appointment as
chief of the general staff gave him au-
thority over all the armed forces of
Germany, Austria Hungary, Bulgaria
and Turkey, so he remedied the mis-
takes of the Austrians during Brush
lofts attacks by recognizing the dual
monarchy's army. The crisis which Ru-
mania's entrance on the allies side
brought in Germany and Hungary was
forgotten after Won Mackenzen took
Bucharest.
In each of these instances it will be
noticed that the crisis was successful
ly passed by stimulation" The Ger
man mind was made to believe what
the kaiser willed.
But what about the future? Is there
a bottomless well of stimulation in
Germany?

NATION BEGINNING TO THINK.
An incident which occurred in Berlin
last December illustrates the fact that
the people are beginning to think.

Wilson's peace note the kaiser issued
an appeal to the German people. one
