It will need not only all of its physical and material resources, but it must exemplify the very highest moral qualities at the same time. Discipline, self-restraint. courage and tenacity must be shown. if we are to rid the world of the plague which this philosophy has brought upon it and enable civilized man to again re- sume his progress in the direction of humanity, respect for treaty Obliga- tions and international decency.

| the attainment of a moral end can only be reached through immoral means He even went so far as to say that the impulse of a youthful state to destroy an old and degener- ate state stands higher than all max inns of positive law.
 To Shakespeare for an Analogy It is difficult for one who has l known Germany as resident, who has received such kindness and hos pitality from German friends, and who yappreciates the finer qualities of the | German character, to reconcile his personal memories with the undis- puted facts of recent history, and l | find myself obliged to resort to an analogy for an explanation. We must. regard this war as a frightful tragedy. In most of the great tragedies of lit erature we find some overpowering passion-it may be love, it may be revenge, it may be jealousy, it may be ambition, dominating the life and actions of people with the power of fate The best parallel I can think of in literature to the tragedy of Ger many is the tragedy of Macbeth. Shakespeare has given us here the picture of a man who was in every way successful in his career as soldier He enjoyed the confidence and recognition of his king, and, far from being a brutal soldier, he was [ described by his wife as being "too full of the milk of human kindness But the witches poisoned his mind by the suggestion of ambition. He was hailed ''Thane of Glamis," "Thane of Cawdor," and King that shalt be-" and Lady Macbeth undertook to translate this prophecy into deeds. The first step was the murder or Duncan. and, as a part of it, the at tempt by lie to place the guilt upon Duncan's own attendants. The first step having been taken, the next step inevitably followed in the murder of Banquo, and one atrocity led natur- ally to another until the news was brought to Macduff; Your castle is surprised; your wife and babes say agely slaughter'd. Macbeth, however, still relied upon the prophecy of the evil spirits. Be bloody, bold and res olute; laugh to scorn the power of man, for none of woman born shall harm Macbeth" and he followed the fatal advice until it led to his death.
 Parallel to Germany
 The course Of Germany in the pres ent war offers a parallel to the trag- edy of Macbeth, which is almost star ting in it's details. The part played by the witches and by Lady Macbeth in the tragedy has been played by the professors and the pan-German- ists of modern Germany who have made Germany believe that it was destined to be a world power.
 We must accept the German chal- lenge, if we would have peace. If We were contending with an uncivilized people. we might hope to gradually educate them to higher standards, but we are not. We are cOntending with a philosophy of scientific savagery evolved by a people who. in their personal relations, are civilized, but who collectively, acting as a state. are under what seems 10 many tragic obsession. The only thing that will cure them of this obsession is a conclusive and overwhelming proof
Bisbee daily review., 1917-09-16

Few people who talk of German ef- ficiency and of German ruthlessness realize how relatively modern both of these qualities are. I nave had the advantage of a personal acquaintance with Germany extending over half a century, and can speak, therefore, from first hand knowledge. When I went to school in Heidelberg, in 1865, there was no Germany, in the politi- cal sense. Germany was mere geo. graphical expression. The states which now form the German empire had no common government, no single mon etary standard, no uniform system of weights and measures. We school boys had to learn no less than three different systems of currency in or der to be able to make our simple purchases at the shops, because we were liable to receive change in any one of these three systems. When the war of 1866. between Prussia and its allies and Austria and its allies, broke out, our sympathies were with Austria, and We gave the troops of the Grand Duchy of Baden, who were going of to fight the Prussians, the kind of sendoff at the railway station which were given to our troops at the outbreak of the trouble on the Mexican border last year. In what seemed an amazingly short time the Prussians returned from their victory over Austria with oak leaves in their helmets and were quartered upon the town of Heidelberg. The following year the North German federation was formed, but it was not until the war with France, which ended in 1871, that the German empire was formed, and the South German states includ- ed under a common executive and a common parliament. Even then little was heard of German ruthlessness or German efficiency.
 "A Pleasant, Friendly Country"
 I visited both France and Germany in the summer of 1871. having friends in both countries, and although Paris had been besieged and captured by the German forces, and although a part of eastern France was still oc- cupied by the German pending the payment of the war indemnity, heard no such complaints as have filled the world with horror during the present war. The French did say that the Germans were fond of carrying off keepsakes, particularly clocks, but cannot recall any charges of cruelty to women, children and nOn-combat- ants, or of wantOn destruction of works of art and monuments.
 When I returned to Germany as a student few years later I sat at the feet of professor of Berlin who has been much quoted of late. and may almost be said to have been redis- covered by the reading public of the United States since the outbreak of the war. The doctrine which Hein- rich von Treitschke taught centerea in the idea that the purpose of the state is power and that everything must be suboIdinated 10 this purpose. ] have heard Teitschke say that, if there was any mortal sin in politics, a sin against the Holy Ghost of poli- ties, it was weakness. He held that when a state has a choice between the neral and the immoral. it should choose the moral. because good faith is real power in politics, but often

TIE IS dining. Of course, with
RI a woman. To be exact,
L l she is dining with him. He
is not in the least in love with her,
but he likes and admires her. Most
Of all. he likes to talk to her
especially about himself. She is
such a good listenerI
He begins with the story OF his
rife. He tells her of his obscure
origin, of his first start, Of his
struggles, his failures, and his sue
cesses. He tells Of business rivals.
Of competition, OF deals" and Of
coups.
The woman has common sense.
She listens with absorbed interest
for such stories are among the
most fascinating in life. They are
the stun that books are made Of,
and few books can give US the
thrill that lies in the hearing OF a
good life story, we'll told-with its
lights and shadows, its incidents
and action, its conscious and un-
conscious revelations Of character.
Told IS this one is told, over a
tete-a-tete dinner in a restaurant,
where the fights are soft and
music is coming from a distance
the effect is all It should be. The
woman listens with eyes on the

the story, and she shows it.
The mans chest swells. He is a
fine fellow and he knows that he is.
He has made q success-not spec
tacular one, perhaps, but a real
and lasting one. He is proud Of
his success and Of all that It has

Then suddenly feeling Of self
pity surges over him. His voice
falls to a minor key.
But with 1t all I'm not happy"
he mutters, sombrely.

The woman knows what is com

this stage. She sighs-for herself,
not for him-and languidly pro-
duces her lines in the eternal dia-
logue. For her the interest of the
evening is over.
"Why aren't you happy? she
softly asks. "You ought to be,

He hesitates. A qualm Of con-
science troubles him. He recalls

Short Haul Embargo Suggestion Respectfully Submitted

It is the short haul that bothers the railroads

Where the motor truck can do the work. free the rail-
road to that extent.
The modern truck with trailer can carry load almost
unbelievable on any fairly good road.
Every ton carried short haul by truck means one
ton less for railroads to carry.
A short haul embargo would mean great saving in
demuage releasing freight for other ways
venting use Of freight cars for storage during slow unloading
It Is notorious that the small freight shipment for
snort haus ties up cars cutting down their value at least
30 per cent.
In hauling by the motor truck there is no demurrage
The load goes from the point of LOADING to the point of
