DEcALOGUE PUBLICITY.

The Omaha World Herald refer
ring to the suggestion for an educa.
tional propaganda to be conducted
by the allies in Germany. quotes with
approval the following:
Two or three million copies of the
Ten Commandments are to be printed
in the German language and distrib
uted throughout Germany by air
planes"
It's an appealing proposal, and
there are no doubt some possibilities
in Il. Here and there a copy would
fall into the hands OF some old fash
Toned German not utterly saturated
with Notwithstanding Kultur, who
would give the document a respect
full reading. But in general, there
doesn't seem 10 be much hope in any
thing Of that sort The ordinary Ger
man to-day would see. at a glance,
that the Commandments clash with
the faith he's been fed on.
The Decalogue may have been all
right in its time. But ii doesn't 20
any more in Germany. How could
it. when il lacks the sanction of the
Kaiser and the Kaiser's God?

THE SENTENCED CRIMINAL.

The German advance in the first
few days OF this last drive has re-
minded many people of The early
weeks of the war. But Germany.
however strong she appears at the
business end Of her military battering
ram. is not the Germany OF four
years ago. This great lunge forward
is not inspired by confidence 1t IS
an act of frenzy and desperation.
Premier Clemenceaus newspaper
'L'Homme Libre,' put the matter
plainly
Germany is in a hurry to finish
the war, and she awaits ike a Grim.
inal the sentence Of death or life from
the supreme judge
THE allies are this supreme judge,
and they will hold until the arrival
OF the American army"
The criminal is merely tugsing at
his chains and beating his head
against the bars Don't be deceived
by the uproar he makes The bars
may bend, but they will not break.
The time Of judgment is probably
nearer than we think. And inevitably
the criminal will pay the penalty.
