MEGALOMANIAC
GERMANY
NATION.

Contributed by William English
 Walling to the National Security
 Leagues Campaign of Patriotism
 Through Education.)
 If there ever was a monstrous un- truth put into proverbial form, it is Burke's, You cannot 1ndict g. na- tion." You cannot indict all the in dividual citizens of a nation, but you can 1nd1ct the government of a na- ton supported by an overwhelming majority of it's citizens.
 The German nation has not become criminal in the ordinary sense of the term, but 1t has literally become a criminal of a certain well known type, that is, the criminal who, through an 1nsanely exaggerated egoism or me- galoman1a, honestly believes that he has the right to commit any crime whateber to force his will upon oth- CT persons.
 The German people have been suc- cessfu1 while under their present form of government. They, there fore, regard it as superior in peace and invincible in war. This idea has become an obsession and 8 relig- ion It so dominates the thought of the overwhelming majority of the German people that it enables them sincerely to believe any lie directed against their enemies and to tolerate any crime, without exception, provid- ed that it aids Germany to overcome them.
 How can the world permit this me- galomaniac criminal to continue his crimes, or allow his past misdeeds to go unpunished? Of course our pun ishment will not be of an antiquated kind Modern criminologists no long CT seek revenge on a criminal nor endeavor to make him suffer needless ly, but seek only to make him realize his crime, to reform him and to lead him to useful life. This must be the treatment of the criminal nation, Germany.
 But why should America undertake at vast sacrifice to aid in the pun ishment of this criminal nation? Her crimes against us were not among her chief offenses; and it Is not likely that she could make us suffer to the same degree as she has made Bel gium or France suffer-at least in the near future. The answer Is that America H just as much concerned with world affairs as an individual Is concerned with his neighbors. We could no more exist in peace and prosperity with a criminal govern ment like that of Germany dominat ing over half the world than we could exist quietly in community of pros porous and unpunished criminals. The mere fact that these criminals were subject to 0 mania instead of being influenced mainly by the more ordinary criminal motives of loot or revenge (and these motives also are certainly not absent among the ac- cepted rulers of Germany would not make our situation any more toler- able. On the contrary, we should be in greater danger, for the motives of loot and revenge are calculable in ad- vance and we might guard ourselves against them. Criminal megaloma- nia, on the other hand, is incurable except by superior force. And a megalomantac nation can be brought to reason only by decisive military de- feat. 4

QUEEN ALEXANDRA WILL CELEBRATE
 BIRTHDAY TOMORROW

Dowager Queen Alexandra, widow of King Edward VII, will celebrate her seventy third birthday tomorrow. She was Princess Alexandra Caroline Marie Charlotte Louisa Julia, eldest daughter of King Christian K, of Denmark and was married to the Prince of Wales in March 1863. The former King of Greece, Constantine, is her brother, and the Dowager Elm press of Russia is her sister.
 Alexandra is a particular favorite with the English people and they new ed fail to observe her birthday with out appropriate festivities, which, be- cause of the war, will be curtailed and modified, as all celebrations are nowa- days. Despite her age the Dowager Queen remains remarkably youthful in appearance, and she has the bearing and appearance of a woman of about forty. That she has retained hei health and beauty so long has been attributed to her diet, which is very different from that of the average Englishwoman. '"The roast beef of old England'' has no place in the Dowager Queens bill of fare. She never eats red meat of any kind. Chicken, turkey, game and occasion ally fish comprise her meat dietary, while vegetables form the greater part of her diet. Alexandra goes con- trary to another British institution in her abstinence from tea Hot milk and water, in fact, are her sole bev- erages.
 Another characteristic of Alexandra is her fondness for dogs, and in the gardens of Marlborough House there is a cemetery where lie buried the remaine of several of her four-footed friends. Each grave is marked by a stone bearing the name of the dog and the date of its death. In the case of Caesar, a pet of the late King Edward as we'll as of his wife, one of the lead ing English sculptors was called upon to design g. memorial for his last rest ing place. Caesar was 8 wire-haired terrier, and was noteworthy as the only canine in Great Britain allowed to pass the customs boundaries with out regard to the strict quarantine laws. For ordinary mortals it is a1- most impossible to bring a dog into England, so it will be seen that Caesar was a member in high standing of the canine nobility.
