GERMAN OBEDIENCE.
SUSTAINING KAISER,
SEC. BAKER STATES.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Germany's
greatest preparation for war in the
last forty-five years was psychologist,
not physical, according to secretary
of War Baker. who outlined his views
at the annual dinner. Of the Phi
Gamma Delta
It IL not the war machine built up
by the Kaiser which is sustaining
Germany today, he said, SO much as
the military education which has
made the people blindly obedient.
So automatic Is the German, as
the result of his training, Mr.. Baker
continued, that by merely touching
a button" he forgets the ordinary
dictates of mercy.
The German Emperor. he declared,
teaches Ibis supernatural relation
ship with God" and that "his, people
are worshiping II, and at the same
time are tolerating it."
Abiding to the enemy's submarine
outrages, Secretary Baker said the
idea is that nobody will dare resist
their pretensions, no matter what in
dignities are perpetrated upon foes
and neutrals.
THE state Of the national consci-
ence, at the behest OF the ruling
power, accepts the national adop-
ton Of assassination on a wholesale
plan for war" the. Secretary said.
He declared that the real tragedy
Of the Lusitania was the approval OF
the deed by the German government.
Secretary Baker told the fraternity

daily from all parts of the United
States and a great deal also from
Europe, which is censored like any

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Icopyright, 1911. by New York Evening Post

Now that Colonel Roosevelt's daily
articles have been printed locally for
several weeks where they can be read
by official folk in the National Capt.
tai, it is pertinent to assess the value
and effect here of the former Presi-
dents criticisms on the conduct of
the war.
Two years ago anything that Theo
dore Roosevelt wrote or said attract
ed attention and was given consid-
cradle thought, Notwithstanding the
outward indifference with which the
Administration officials professed to
regard his outbreaks.
Officials Indifferent.
The situation today is changed to this
extent: The indifference is no longer
artificial. but real.
From the beginning OF the 1872 cam
palm Mr.. Wilson adopted a policy
toward Mr.. Roosevelt not at all pleasing
10 the latter. The Democratic candidate
never 50 much as mentioned Mr.. Roose-
Welt by name.
In the 1916 campaign the President

But at the same time a good deal OF
attention was paid by Administration
people here and there to the points Mr..
Roosevelt was making.

HeveH't Read 1t.


Il haven't read it." was the reply
on every side. NO, I rarely read
what Roosevelt says"
The general feeling seems to be
that the Colonel has impaired his
usefulness as a critic by his personal
attacks on President Wilson. About
the only attack, it is pointed out,
that is being made in the United
States TO-DAY on the President OF the
United States is coming from the
man at Oyster Bay, who was disap-
pointed because he could not get
General Pershing's job.
Maybe this is not the animus be-
hind his criticisms.
Maybe he is not disgruntled be-
cause President Wilson twice defeat
ed him IN the race for the Presidency.
Maybe Theodore Roosevelt is actu-
ated only by the most impersonal
motives, but there Is no escape from
the fact that official Washington re-
CARDS him as merely one OF the great
number who have had personal griev-
ances and axes to grind.
Welcome Fair Criticism.

The Administration has made mis-
