4 Shattered Dream

I T has been the passionate and the uncon-
1 troled ambition of the German Crown
Prince TO lead victorious German army into
Paris. He has dreamed from the beginning
OF the war OF another Sedan; OF another
overwhelming defeat OF the armies OF France
ny forces under his command; OF his own
cEaltation as the supreme military genius OF
tho war and Of an all-poworful German ma
ton acclaiming him the superlative hero
ana the master StratcgSt Of the most resist
less military machine the world ever saw
That this chinless, consciencclcss half wit
CT princeling has nurtured this ambition
and has schemed and plotted with every bru-
tai miitariSt in the empire la bring il to
pass is no secret. Every intelligent G. rman
KNOWS 1t is true. Every German newspaper
has commented upon il from time to time
ana tho record OF events since 1914 is tcs-
timony enough that it is the mad desire of
the crown prince to seize and Occupy the
French capital
In order that this contamination might be
WITHIN possible reach, this young man had
himself placed in command Of the German
2rmy nearest Paris. And il was Il, who
murdcrously threw hundreds OF thousands
or German soldiers into the bloody macl-
strom at Nordun For nearly three months
ne battered away blindly at the defenses Of
inns stronghold, sacrificing the flower of his
army IN his futile attempts to break down
Lhe S-perD resistance OF the French
railing completely in this enterprise the
crown r:-ncc remained in obscurity for nearly
TWO years. He was Giscredited leader and
II ne mad not been member Of the imperial
household he would have been court mar
ualcd and sent in disgrace to the rear. But
when Russia fell and Germany was i'm n no.
s'tlon to consolidate the whole of her mill
tary strength against the allies in France
once more the heir to the German II rome
was seized with the passion to conoucr To
be the immortal hero of the war. to take
and occupy Paris, debating terms of peace
I" the bruised and bleeding French nation
from the steps of Poincarcs palace
Reinforced by tens Of thousands of men
ana thtored by the abcst field officers in the
German army. tho crown prince nearly twc
months ago threw his forces again against
the lines defending Paris. For almost two
weeks he hammered and slashcd and hacked
MS way over blood-mirc terrain, but finally
re was stopped short at the Marine. his
forces shattered and his hopes defeated Then
lew days ago he again hurled his armies
forward sui determined to reach Paris But
ior thlrd time this madness has been check

There was Il time--only century
Sincc-when practically the one thing
needed by an army was food. When
the lord on the hill wanted to iigh,
his rival. to take slice Of his terri
tory away. he had only to concern
himself with having certain num-
Der of lighting men, and then with
supplying them with food. War is
now an Industrial game: and the
foundation Of industry, AZ we now
know it.. is coal.
And 1t is that We arc at the very
root and foundation Of the great war
industry. Unless we have an abund-
ance. or ut least n Sufficicncy Of coal
war cannot DO carried on.
We are in this thing because We
are determined to win. and we can
not win unless the industries that
depend on coal get the supply OF fuel
that is just as necessary to the con-
tinuance of the life OF the soldier
Now there are two ways OF deal
ing with problem Of this kind one
Is by the hearty cooperation Of the
men already engaged n tho industry
The other way is By compulsion.
Our experience In the Interstate
commerce Commission led US to be-
hcNe that the larger men in the rail-
road industry had quite as much vision
AS we mad. and IL VIC could show them
the Importance of an occasion they
"oulu Try 10 meet IL. So, instead Of
resorttns TO compulsion, instead Of
taking over mines and great opcrat-
ing plants. we are endeavoring to nut
the coal producers to their best efforts
ms war Is challenge to all Of us
1t is challenge to every miner and
TO every operator, = every railroad
man. ana to every inventor, as well
as challenge to every soldier.
IL Is up TO us to show what We can
DO. TO prove to the men on the other
