We'd Dislike To Be The
Kaiser When 1t Comes To
The Day of Settlement.

Isn't 1t really question with the
Eoism Of how long the financial wheel win

And isn't this . pretty heavy question
- dsal with and pretty vital when peo-
- are hungry and the cupboard is low :?
When the war lord has wanted war
finds, he has issued war bonds.
The people have bought these bonds.
Then the Kaiser has used the money to
Nv soldiers and the wages Of workers in
government munitions plants and in other
government jobs.
Thus, the wheel turns so that the peo-
pls's money is always circulating from the
peopae to the government, back to the
people and again to the government, the
people finally having bonds representing
their money and their services.
The Kaiser's wheel has so gone round
and round until he has about IL billions
Of bonds outstanding in five popular loans.

dollars.

A bond that defaults on interest is an
object of suspicion, and the Kaiser has
but two ways In which to raise interest
One way is TO take it out of the new
loan.
The other Is % raise it from current
TAXATION.
The first way would leave him only
about twelve hundred millions for war
purposes. and would also be dangerous as

Except 1t Die

Thou fool, that which thou sowest is

There is no life that Is not prenarei
by death. Death is the door of life.
A grain of wheat may live In one of
two ways-it may be planted and grow
other grains, or il may be made into
bread and nourish men. In both cases it
must be destroyed before it is rendered.
useful II must rot in the ground TO
sprout, or it must be ground TO flour
in order TO make loaf.
The apple blossoms exquisite exist
ence perishes so that the fruit may come
into life.
All living things emerge from the
womb of death.
Every dollar of profit is the spent life
of some worker.
Life is an endless procession. All liv-
ing things go down into death and come
up again having received the strange
baptism of new life. The plants, the
flocks. the human creatures of today all
move toward decay; short time and
everything that now is alive will be gone.

Life is not a continuous stream; IL In

Old ideas and beliefs likewise perish
that the new may draw sustenance from

From the death of the old creduhties

democracies.

1t is of great concern to men how
they may keep alive their Institutions;
it asIght Ia occupy them still more how
they can bury them. For in time every
institution ceases to minister TO life and
becomes an instrument Of death. The
thing is to get rid of it with as little
violence as possible when it ceases to
serve men.
In time all sects must die, that religion
may live; all nations must die, that hui
