Apostles Of ESpsdienCy.

The most discouraging thing lover
OF German literature, philosophy an
traditions find in the German oifiicia
attitude is its Grass utilitarianism.
Whatever differences there may be as
TO policy are based solely on consider
ations Of expedency. Dr.. Won Keuhl'
man newly appointed secretary oil for
eign affairs is known as a foe Of the
submarine and as such has long been
target for Won Tripitz. But his pos
ition is summarized in quotation in a
remark, privately made, that the war
is a terrible bIunder and mistake" ."
The submarine was estranging Eng
land and Won Kuehlmann is one the
school Of German statesman, heretofore
in the decided minority, who have felt
that German interests lie in the West
rather than the Elst. He condemned d
Unrestricted submarine warfare, further

objection was on the grounis Of hum
anity or regard for the usagei Of civiIiz
ed warfare. II he had any conscien'
tious scruples he did not deem it worth
while to mention them. He recogniz-
ed that the only thing that German
tInkers we're interested in was whether
the polrcy would pay.
Vernon Kellogg, professor In the

The KaiSeI'S Speeches.

The K'iscr must have felt that it
was his duty 10 say something on the
thud arriv,isarY Of the war, hence
he too rrrclama'irns. N rhsr has
the FIRE oi his early speeches. He m
plimenis the troops on their intrepid
conduct, but ascribeS to them a resc-
lutte spirit that recen war prisoners DO
not possess. He still pr diets ctrry
aud says the Lord G d vii De wl'h
u.s." But he is not as emphatic as
formerly in dwelling on his partnership
with Deity.
Ii is in his proclamation to the Ger
man people that the swan note dis
,inclly appears. He calls it "a right
eous war Of defense" He EXPIRE, ses
grief over the dead and sorrow for Ian
gushing cap,ives. He talks Of the
enemies disdainful treatment Of Ger
man words Of peace, ascrbes it to ig
norance oil how Germany could fight"
In urging the Germans to new sacrifices
and priva,ions he gives the assurance
that German blood and German zeal
are not being gambeled with for an
empty shadow Of an ambition CT scheme
Of conquest and subjugatiop, but in
defense Of strong free empire in which
our children may live in security"
1t is SO easy for one 10 fool himself
that it might be harsh TO charge the
kaiser with insincerity. But there is
no reason why anybody familiar with
the causes and cen iuct Of the war
she share the kaiser's delusion.
Out VI the mouth OF the former chan

Aliens and the War.

Speaking OF possible riots here and
there because Of the exemption Of
aliens from the operation Of the draft
laws, it is proper 10 say that the Unit
ed States is not among the nations

government which has always insisted
that none OF its citizens abroad shall
be impressed into military service, it
must be consistent with itself. Once
We were on the point OF war with Aust
ria in defense OF the right Of natives OF
that country but naturalized in the
United States, and we have had pro-
longed negotiations with the German
Empire, since its creation in the early
70's, on our demands for the exemp,
ion OF naturaIized American cilizcns
from service in the German army,
There is hardly government in
Europe with which we have not ex,
chan ged correspondences on this point.

Great Britain has so scrupulc usly re-
spected her treaties with US in This re-
spec', that Americans wanting 10 take

Of conscripts. We fought war with
Great Britain in 1912 against the i'm
preston OF American sailors into Brit

citizens of one country, resident or so
journing in another county, from com
pulsory military service, might bt
called reciprocity treaties since nearly
all civiliz d nations OF the world have
recognized such reciprocal rights, dut
les and exemptions through treaty con
cessions OF this kind.
Il may be admitted that such que'
ton must naturally grow more acute il

HOW DOES IT
CONCERN ME7

A fair question, always. Let ~
think for a while how the War and
the Liberty Loan concerns the farmer.
We went to war with Germany
partly because the rulers Of that
country refused to let US send to
Europe our ships laden with grain
and cotton. They sunk the ships and
cruelty murdered our sailors. Now
suppose we allowed them 70 stop all
our shipping, where would you be?
None Of your goods would be sold
In foreign countries, with the result
that you would get nothing like the
prices which you get today. 1t Is the
enormous demand for what you pro
duce, that is securing you high
prices. II this demand were cut of
down would 60 prices. This war 10
being wased partly that you may OBJ
tain fair prices for your goods.
Farmers have been kept down In
the matter Of prices quite long
enough, and the government and the
people Of this country. are not 60
ing to let foreign power interfere
with their business-which ts your
business.
Having entered the war IN order
that we may have the right to send
your goods to any part Of the world,
what Is going to happen II we lose
the war? Prices of farm produce
will drop; the Germans will impose
taxation upon you which will cripple
you for the next twenty years.
Worse than that, II the Germans get
over here, they will treat you in Just
the same way as they have the farm.
erB Of Northern France and Belgium.
In these sections farm houses have
been shot to pieces, crops wasted
and burned; even fruit trees chopped
down, the cattle stolen, the men sent
into slavery to work for German
masters. their women ill.treated In
ways that cannot be talked OF IN
print, their little children have had
their hands chopped of in order that
they may never fight for their coun.
try, or do any more useful worS
again.
You may say such things will not
happen here" They said this In
France and in Belgium. Such things
Will happen here just as sure as you
are alive, unless we smash the Ger.
mans so that they are utterly unable
70 reach the shores of this country.
The German feet and the German
army will take just one week to get
here II we are beaten. They have
made up their minds that America
shall pay for this war. They have
made up their minds that our wealthy
men shall give their money, and that
you farmers shall provide the food
for their armies and their people II
