SAVE THE REMNANTS.

Many keen observers Of conditions
in Germany have believed that II the
German government were over
thrown. the impetus would come
from the top and not from the bot
tom.
In Russia the revolution was an
upheavaI of the masses. Such an
occurrence, it is felt by many. is i'm
possible in Germany, because Of the
respect for law and order which has
been drilled into the German mind
for generations. The German ma
chine runs too smoothly for a revo-
hutton Of the Russian type to get
started. The German steam roller
would crush the first hint Of insur-
rection.
But that there is a possibility Rf
a peaceful overthrow Of the Prussian
government in a movement starting
among the big business men OF the
country, is becoming more apparent
In recent issue of The Saturday
Evening Post, A. Curtis Roth. former
American consul at Piauen has an
interesting and enlightening article
on the passing Of German industry
He pictures the complete collapse OF
the industries which Germany spent
fifty years in developing. and ques-
tions whether the country will have
the courage. the resources and the
Initiative to again become a factor In
world commerce. with each month
that passes. he says. this condition
grows worse.
Recent dispatches have told Of the
open break between the Kaiser and
Herr BALM. Germany's greatest
shipping magnate. who bitterly crit
icised the submarine policy for an
tagonizing the neutral nations and
bringing about the loss OF the great
er part OF German shipping.
President Wilson's reply to the
peace proposals ended the talk Of an
economic war after the war, and it
left to Germany the hope Of rebuild
ing her commerce and industry with
out unfair discrimination against
her. The men who control Ger
many's banking and industries may
decide that the time has come to
save what can be saved from the
wreckaEe. Their combined influence

War Departments Lessons For
Men of The National Army

This course Of thirty daily lessons
Is offered to the men selected for
service in the National army as a
practical help in getting started in
the right way. II is informal in tone
and does not attempt to give bind
ing rules and directions. These are
contained in the various manuals
and regulations Of the United States
army, to which this course Is merely
Introductory.
LESSON NO. Is.
SOME NATIONAL TRADITIONS.
This course should include a back
ward glance over the military his
tory Of the United States. It is
worth while for the soldier to recall
why and how the men before us
fouht for American principles and
rights. You, are representing today
the same ideals and fighting for
many of the same things they fought
for in 1776. 1898. 1912, 1S46, 1851, and
1898.
In 1875 our forefathers refused
any longer to submit to the demands
Of a tyrannical government and de-
clared themselves independent. The
farmers and Shopkeepers and me-
chanics and fishermen who rushed
to arms at the beginning of the
Revolution did not at first realize
they were forming a new nation.
But before long they saw clearly
that in order to enjoy liberty they
must shake off the rule of the auto
cratic government which had its
seat in London. +
Our First War.
In their attitude they had the
sympathy Of a great many English
men who were broad enough to see
that the American colonists were
really fighting for the rights of all
free peoples. In the British Parlia-
ment Pitt and Burke and other
great Englishmen openly defended
the American patriots. If / were
an American as am an English
man., said one Of the great parlia-
mentary leaders, while a foreign
troop remained in my country ]
would never lay down my arms. 1t
was not the English people who
were seeking to suppress liberty In
America, but a small body Of court
politicians-an autocratic govern
ment-which misrepresented the peo-
pie.
The Americans of that day on their
part did not hesitate to take up arms
for their rights, even though they
came into conflict with the seasoned
troops of a great power-even though
they had to meet invasion and par
tial conquest Of their own country.
Nor did they long hesitate to break
completely away from the mother
land which many Of them still loved.
In 1898 we found ourselves in
state of war with the French gov
eminent. This Is not usually thought
OF as an American war, since there
was no lighting except for a few en-
counters on the high seas. There
was no declaration Of war and 1t
was all settled within a few months.
Yet the fact is that a state of war
actually existed. Here again we had
no quarrel with the French people,
whom we admired and, loved for the
help they had given us during the
Revolution. We are really at war
with a little group known as the
Directory, who had seized the gov
eminent Of France and misrepresent-
ed its people.
In the war of 1912 with Great Brit
ain, the principal question at issue

World In The Making
(By Ralph Barton Perry of The
VioiIantes.l

The thrilling thing about the pres
emit is the possibility OF getting some
thing done. Who has not at some
time felt the brutal, insolent inertia
Of things as they are? Who has not
hurled himself against the system of
his day, only to be thrown back,
bruised and bleeding, and with de-
SPAR in his heart. But today IL is
possible to move mountains. The
old world, which we have mistaken
for eternity, is in fiux. 1t is molten
lava; we can dig channels and direct
its flow, we can pour ii into moulds.
Now is the time for your ideals.
Whatever Is stamped into the world
now will be its character in the time
to come. II, then. you believe In
democracy act now. Whether there
shall be more or less of 1t in the sue
ceeding age or whether it shall be
crowded out, or spread wide among
the nations. depends on what you do
now. The men of this time will never
have their chance again.
Today there il not only an oppor-
tunity for you, the rare opportunity,
to do the big thing, to give some
drive and carry to our lives. In a
certain sense life is always the Same
thing over and over again. We COL
lect a little energy, and then give
1t out; we earn a little money and
spend 1t; We acquire appetite, and
then satiate it; we grow tired, and
then we rest. All life follows these
cycles, on whatever plane we live it.
What we need is a sense that il is
all worth while; otherwise we are
likely to feel that there is something
fatuous and ridiculous about this
everlasting see-saw, in which we
merely go UP and down, or to and
fro. What we want is to feel that
we are going forward; that the ef-
forts we make sum up to something
in the long run. We want to make
a difference. Here, then, is the OPP
portunity to leave your imprint on
civilization. This is a crucial time
when the worlds in the making, and
when your effort may prove decisive

WHAT WHEAT Will BUY.

The purchasing power Of wheat Is
what counts, in the last analysis.
Whether wheat sells for 81 or 81
or IS is not so important to the
farmer, as what he can buy with the
returns from a bushel Of wheat.
II there were no money as a med
ium of exchange, and the wheat were
traded directly for other necessities
and luxuries. this years crop would
disclose a condition not altogether
unfavorable to the farmer.
Two years ago 81 wheat was con-
sidered a good price. On that basis
It would have taken four bushels Of
wheat to subscribe to The Forum
for one year. This year the farmer
can get The Forum for a year 70:
two bushels Of wheat.
Shoes that sold two years ago for
81 or IS, sell today for So to SO. Two
years ago they would have cost four
or Ave bushels OF wheat. Today they
would cost three to four bushels of
wheat.
There has been little change in the
price of the cheaper automobiles.
The car that sold two years ago for
$500 can be bought today for not
more than $500. Some have not in
creased in price at all. In addition
the buyer is getting considerably
more car" as the dealer puts 1t. Two
years ago the car would have cost
500 bushels Of wheat. Today a bet
ter car can be bought for 300 bushels
of wheat.
Two years ago farm labor could
be employed for 50 to SO a day. To-
day the wages range from SO to 81.
Two years ago those men would
have cost two to three bushels of
wheat. Today they cost from a
bushel and a half to two bushels.
Suits of clothes that two years
ago cost $40 to $35, today cost pos
lISibly $40 to $45-perhaps a little
.ess. Those suits would have cost
Y 30 to 35 bushels of wheat two years
ago. Today they cost 20 to 22h
bushels.
Farm machinery-welI the farmer
knows better than The Forum does
what he has to pay for farm machin-
cry. The price has risen perhaps so
per cent on some lines. Figure it in
bushels Of wheat.
Figure the coal in bushels Of
wheat.
OF course II the farmer hasn't any
wheat to sell above his seed require
ments, he can't buy, whether wheat
sells for 81 or IS, but as one farmer
expressed 1t to The Forum recently:
I'D like to make a FIVE year con-
tract with the government on this
basis.

hands of small groups who betray
their own people and drive them for
ward in ruthless assaults on the
freedom and rights OF other peoples
IL Is a government Of this type that
now menaces all liberty loving ma
tons throughout the world and
savagely attacks American rights.
In all our previous wars against
foreign powers the American people
have fought for principles, not for
wealth or power, just as they are
fighting today. They have fought
against governments, not against

day. They have fought fearlessly
and fairly, just as you and the other
American soldiers of this war will

Was riding on a train the other day
W@th his head out OF the window
So that nobody along the right-of-
way
Could see him, when his head was
struck
By a telegraph pole, and the pole
Was broken off short and the wires
torn down
And communications cut off for sew
eral hours.
When his head was examined by a
bonesetter
There wasn't a nick in 1t anywhere.
If the pole had hit him anywhere

Would have killed him.
