The German Mind
BY Harvey o'Higgins.

1t Is not bottomless mystery, this
outrageous record of the Germans at
war. 1t is clearly consistent express
sion Of the servile mind. To under
stand it, you have only to understand
the peaceful virtues of the people
whom Bismarck called "a nation of
house servants
They have long been governed by
the most arrogant of all the govern
ing classes of Europe-the Prussian
militarists. They have submitted
with a touching faith in their oppres-
sive protectors. Timid, sentimental,
poetic, and comfert-loving, plundered
for centuries by their marauding
neighbors, they have been glad to
league together in the German EN-
pire with no matter what loss of per-
s0nal liberty, under the domination
of their tyrannous war lords. They
have seen in that tyranny their only
safety. 1t defended them superbly in
the procured wars of the last cen
fury, first from their old rivals the
Austrians, and then from their old
conquerors, the French. They be-
lieve that it has defended them as
efficiently in the present war. BY in
spired news and forged dispatches,
they nave been convinced that they
were invaded before this war was de-
clared; and they still believe it. They
believe that they are fighting in self
defense under the leadership of an
autocracy that is their only self-pro-
lection.
And they are fighting as the timid
fight. The man who has been govern
ed by arrogance and has bowed down
to fear is a man who understands no
instrument but cruelty to compel re-
spect. He will invariably resort to
'frightfulness as his weapon in war.
He will know no compassion. He will
have no dignity-not even the dignity
Of pity. He will be at once incredibly
cruel and incredibly petty. He will
prosecute noncombatants, outrage
women. mutilate children. lombard
hospitals. kill the wounded. torment
prisoners. cut down fruit trees. and
defile with animal filth what he has
not time to destroy like a discharged
servant taking his revenge on the

FOOD BOARDING.

More power to the Food Administra-
ton in its announced intention to en-
force the provisions Of the control act
of last August against the boarding Of
essential food commodities. County
Food Administrator Graham deserves
and should have the hearty support
and cooperation of all loyal citizens in
his undertaking in this county. No
loyal American patriot will hoard food
in this emergency. No one would
think Of doing SO. Those who are not
patriotic and devoted enough to the
nations interests should be made to
obey the law.
There is little flour, less than two
thirds the amount for ordinary de-
mands, in the country now. There
will be no other before the next har-

SUNDAY CLOSING

Columbia officers are deserving
thanks and congratulations for the
manner in which they have enforced
observance of the Sunday closing
laws. The Herald has long insisted
upon the observance of these laws and
it is very much gratified at the re.
Spouse that the officers of the city
made to the request for their enforce
ment Laws should either be execut
ed or abolished. Both by state and
city law the Sundays are set apart as
days upon which the ordinary avoca-
tons and business of life, as far as
possible, should cease.
The people have taken the enforce
ment of the law in the right spirit. II
is to be hoped that there will be alb
solutely no relaxation of vigilance
upon the part Of the officers in the
execution of the Sunday laws.

REAL REFORM

II congressman are really sincere in
their desire for more thorough con-
centration and unification of war
powers they will speedily pass SEN
ator Overman's bill which confers
wide and sweeping powers in this d.
rection on the president. 1t goes d.
rectly to the point of the whole con-
troversy and provides for a real con-
centration of authority and that with
out the creation of vicious and un-
constitutional "war cabinet" or with
out adding any more boards or COM
missions to our already overburdened
war organization.
No more vicious or unconstitutional
bill was ever introduced in the con-
gress than the proposed war cabinet
measure. Under the express provis-
ions Of the constitution the president
is made commander-in-chief of the
army and navy. Any act to limit his
power over either the army or navy is
not only dangerous and vicious but it
is in direct contravention of the or
ganic law.
In a great emergency like this there
can be no division of authority.
There must be supreme and direct
ing hand. The power requisite, is
vested in the president, a power that
has never been and will never be
abused. To attempt to circumscribe
the president in the exercise of his
war powers is simply to create fur
Their division among the American
people, raise doubts in the minds of
some and finally give encouragement
to the enemy.
Senator Overman's bill meets the
demand for coordination. It is con-
stitutional and practical. 1t should
be passed without delay.

HOMES IN COLUMBIA.

There will be large numbers of very

as result Of the big undertaking
there who will be unable to secure
suitable homes because of the rush,
An effort should be made to locate
many of these families in Columbia.
Here they would have every conven-
fence, the best schools for the chill
dren, delightful companions, health,
charm and in short everything that
goes to make life attractive. The
head Of the house could easily make
the trip here every night and back in
the morning or else could come home
once or twice a week.

nature of the servile mind to do these
things and to fail to see why they
should not be done.
His officers will order them done,
because it has been by brutality that
his officers have ruled him, and they
will hope by brutality to rule the
world. And he will do what he is Or
dered, because he knowns the efficacy
of fear in his own case, and he will
hope by frightfulness to strike fear
into his enemy.
His instinct of subserviency, in fact,
makes him perfect military instru-
ment. He obeys orders like devoted
hound. He has the courage of unques-
tioning obedience. He must be sent
to the attack in mass formations, but
he will go blindly, linking arms with
his fellows, singing solemnly, in a
state of exalted meekness. When he
is behind the lines, IN safety, he will

any sense of the obligations of hospi-

his master. He will tell you, sWe
Germans fear only God" because his
very religion is a religion of fear. If
he were really as devilish as he pre-.
tends he would say, "We Germans
love only God" ''Ein't feste Burg ist
unser GOtt." All of Germany's plum
dered past is in that line. Who but
an inundated people, longing for a
Chinese wall, would sing, "Our God
is a strong fortress? 1t is this lack
of real courage that makes him con-
tinually boast of his lack of fear. He
DULLES, because he has always been
bullied. He does not understand why
the world will not cringe, and he fails
to understand it because he is himself
always inwardly cringing to the au-
tocrats whom he trusts to defend him
from the world.
1t is the problem of this wear, first
to break the military autocracy in
Germany, and then to set free the
minds Of the people. Any attempt to
punish them for their cruelties will
drive them, hereafter, with a new
timidity, into the arms of some new
despotism. They must be treasured
OF their safety in the world. They
must be persuaded to dare the res.
possibilities of rcedom. These peo-
pie, who have never had a revolution
in the whole course of their history.
must be first liberated and forgiven.
and then protected in their freedom
and encouraged to feel self-respect.
1t is a pathetic sort of problem. II
is problem that can not be solved in
terms Of hatred and revenge. Il is
peculiarly the problem of the Ameri.
can people, who have nothing to gain
