May Cause Revolution

There Is a general feeling the move
will confront the military party with
the choice Of such an unconditional sur
render as will be acceptable to all the
Allied co-belligerents or genuine pq-
litical revolution in Germany which will
bring about one.
1t has been pointed out that Presi-
dent Wilson's inquiry to Chancellor
Maximilian sto develop whether the
Chancellor merely was speaking for the
German leaders who have been conduct
ing the war probably was skillfully
framed to pave the way for an oppor-
tunity to INFORM the German people d.
rectly that no movements OF peace can
be made with the men who have be-
trayed the world
The present German Government,
which, as Secretary Solf says. was
formed by conferences and has the sup
port of the majority Of the Reichstag
was formed through the Imperial decree
which permitted 1t. There Is nothing
before any Of the Allied Governments
so far as Is known. to show that there
has been any change in the German sys-
tenn which would prevent the autocratic
power which uttered that decree to re-
woke It when it's purpose had been ac-
complished.
In Other words, an Ailleu oiPio"o'
considering the arrangement OF an
armistice or any of the practical de-
tails to carry out the application OF tine
terms of peace President Wilson mas
laid down might ask:
What guarantee have we that these
arrangements will not be regarded as
a scrap of paper?"
A close reading of President Wilson's
pronouncements on the subject when all
else has been eliminated shows him
repeatedly laying down the fundamen-
tai principle that no peace can be made
while the German people endure Kaiser
ism. In his reply to the Pope's note
August 81, 1917, the President said:
| I'VE cannot take the word OF the
present rulers Of Germany as guar
antee unless explicitly supported by such
| conclusive evidence of the will and pur-
pose of the German people themselves
as other peoples of the world would De
| justified in accepting"
In his subsequent pronouncements
finally coming down to his New York
speech of September 2S. the President
drives home the same point each time
with a new emphasis. The conclusion,
/ in the opinion Of close observers. woulo
seem that the military party, falling te

gives way to a POLITICAL party. or
President Wilson's estimate of how fai
the present peace party In Germany
represents the will of the German people
themselves and of what guarantees thert
may be that the military autocracy WI

work, the next step depends.

Vigilantes War Notes
A Remarkable Letter.


Mr. H. A. Miller Of Oberln, Ohio, contributes
to The New Republic the following translation
Of letter written by a Slovenian, a common
workman with only elementary education,
after he had declined the opportunity Of hon
orable discharge from our army as an enemy
alien. Mr.. Miller notes further that out Of two
hundred Slovenians from Cleveland eligible for
discharge only twelve accepted.
%. I received the civil clothes sent me
from Cleveland and at the same time thought
occurred to me, which never Iert me-that
should feel ashamed to leave the army and go
back to civil life. Indeed, how love my young,
healthy life; how long to be free again, going
my own ways without hearing the command
OF another. But alas, justified to think Of
my own liberty and happy life, when the moment
Is here that calls every young man to bring
liberty to others? Away, you selfish thoughts!
On into the battle! I am a Slovene myself and
my fathers and grandfathers never had any
opportunity to fight for liberty. Indeed, they
fought for hundreds Of years under the COM
mand Of the Hapsburgs to continue slavery and
tyranny. Goodbye my beloved young
life shall not return to my happy home until
the day has come when can proudly see the
liberated Jugoslavia IN a liberated world. Then
shall return, conscious that I have done my
bit If I shall perish-I am afraid I will-let
it be so; the only thing sorry about is that

are impracticable for various reasons, but
scores of them have been adopted and de-
veloped
Submarines are divided into two main
types, the coast defense and the cruising.
The much discussed Zone Man" subma-
rine has not proved feasible.
The pamphlet shows that the war
against the submarine is divided under two
heads, offensive and defensive.
Under the defensive head may be classed
all the methods Of detecting submarines,
the nets and screens which have been de-
vised, the decreasing Of visibility by cam
outage and the new plan to eliminate all
the superstructure possible, the increasing
of speed since a fast ship is relatively i'm
mune, the special construction with water
tight compartments, and the conveying
methods.
In the offensive warfare may be inclld-
ed the efforts to confine the U-boats to
their bases and also destroy the bases, the
mining Of vast areas traversed by the boats
in reaching bases, nets, trawling, aircraft,
gunfire, depth charges and the many de-
vices for detecting the under water boats.
The pamphlet is a condensed history Of
the long, hard fight that has been waged
against the submarine. Few realize how
close the submarine came to winning the
war for Germany, but the work that is
summarized in this little pamphlet is re-
Elected in the greatly decreased shipping
loss for May, and this long, arduous cam
paign will make the final victory Of the
Allies possible.

KuLTUR AND HUMANITY.


The difference between the war aims of
Germany and the Allies is strikingly illus
trated by the difference in the treatment
accorded the people Of occupied terri
tory.
General Allenby, when he occupied
Jerusalem, issued proclamation promis-
ing fairness and just treatment to all the
inhabitants of the country. That they
have taken him at his word is evidenced
by the fact that they have returned to
peaceful pursuits under a feeling Of Sc
curity that did not exist before the war.
They are now eagerly investing their saw
ings in livestock and equipment, and a
correspondent writes that they are pro
viding ready market for all horses
which are no longer fit for military SER
vice.
Is it possible to picture the inhabitants
Of poor stricken Serbia, Belgium or Po-
land investing their savings in livestock?
Anyone fortunate enough to possess live
stock, keeps it carefully hidden from
German eyes, and the inhabitants Of the
Ukraine, supposed to be now an independ-
ent state with which Germany is at peace,
are defending their slender supplies Of
grain with rifles or burning it to prevent
it falling into German hands.
It is the difference between Kultur and
humanity,

WASTE MOTION STOPPED.

At recent luncheon given in his honor
In Fargo, Harrison Riley Of Chicago the
head Of the western War Savings stamp
campaign, told of the competition for good
mechanics in the big eastern cities He
related an anecdote Of Pittsburgh firm,
which sent to Detroit, collected 100 trained
mechanics, and sent them to Pittsburgh on
a special train. En- route, the train passed
another special train bearing 100 trained
mechanics, who had been lured from Jobs
in Pittsburgh. The 200 men lost the time
spent in changing positions and moving
their effects, and the conditions were un-
changed. Labor shortage in neither city
was remedied.
It is such a condition as this that the
United States Employment service of the
Department of Labor is aimed to remedy.
The time is coming-in fact it is already
here-When the government will step into
a manufacturing plant engaged in non
essential work and say to the owner: eve

ehanics, some foremen and shop superin-
tendents'', A year ago that would have
given the employer apoplexy. Today he
submits to it, in the majority Of cases be-
cause he knows it is necessary to win the
war and is willing and eager to do his
share. The others know they have to sub

WAR "WILL BEGIN IN SEPTEMBER

WAR "WILL BEGIN IN SEPTEMBER"
GAS far as America is concerned, the
war will begin next September was the
remark credited to Representative Cald-
well Of New York, member of the House
military committee after leaving recent
conference with Secretary Baker.
In two months more Germany will begin
to feel the real weight Of American power
According to the last report Of Secretary
Baker, America now has 100000 men in
France. They are going across at the rate
of about 100000 weekly. Whether that
rate will be continued or increased, it is
not wise to speculate upon.
And American troops are likely to go
into battle with unheard Of supplies Of
guns, artillery and airplanes. The vari-
Gus stupendous programs for supplying
American troops, are just attaining the
quantity output desired. The country that
can build more automobiles than all the
rest of the world put together, can build
more guns, airplanes and tanks, and make
more rifles, machine guns, gas shells and
bombs. We are holding 38 miles of front
or more now, but "the war will begin in
September.

You get that mechanicians!
He says he tainted past their line
His watch exactly half past nine ,.-
Now who brought home this pal o. mine?
Well, have my suspicious.
Don't hand me that subconscious stuff;
I'm not religious, half enough;
But you can note this on your cuff
It is a. Higher Power
Than gasoline that drives a. plane
And brings limp airmen home again
Through fog and sleet and hurricane
A hundred miles an hour!
