German society is based on abso-
lutism and militarism The ambition of
the house of Hohenzollern is to dom
mate the world; its preteXt is to
spread Germanism. German culture
we have hitherto warmly welcomed
and we shall do so again. But the
Kaiser's brand of Germanism we do
not want. We prefer our own civiliZa-
ton which is based on liberty, not on
despotism.
The Kaiser says: "The soldier
should have no will of his own; you
should all have but one will, and that
is my will. There is but one law for
you, and that is mine.
He says to his recruits: Should
the necessity arise, you must even
shoot down your fathers and mothers
at my order"
He says again: "Only one is mas
ter in the land. That am Il Whoever
opposes me l will smash in pieces!"
He refers here to Social Democrats,
the only important party in Germany
that stands for democratic liberty and
for the rights of the common man.
He calls them "a gang unworthy of
the name of Germans, traitors to
their country"
The Kaiser and the government are
intensely militaristic. Wilhelm's first
speech as Kaiser was to the army and
navy. These are his idols. German
militarism is the best thing we have
achieved in the course of our develop
ment as a state and a people, says
Chancellor Won Buelow. A chorus of
professors and politicians joins in.
Professor Sombart proclaims war "the
hottest thing on earth, and all re-echo
Moltke's words that perpetual peace is
only dream and not even beautiful
dream.
Under such a government there is
little liberty, and much oppression.
1--WE Germans in Prussia, says Karl
Liebknecht, have three cardinal
rights: to be soldiers, to pay taxes,
and to hold our tongues between our
teeth" In Prussia they are not very
considerate of the common man.
In the first place. is he educated for
his own good? Of the common-schOol
teacher and of the university professor
alike the Kaiser says: According to
his rights and duties he is, in the first
place, state official. In this position
he should do what is demanded of him.
He should teach the young and pre-
pare them for resisting all revolu-
tionary Ii. e. democratic) aims"
The German boy not only learns at
school that he must not be Social
Democrat, he learns that he is to be a
soldier,-not a very pleasant business.
His drill-masters do not treat him very
humanely In 1902 the Reichstag pro-
tested, and 600 officers were condemn
ed for cruelty tc soldiers-one lieuten-
ant for 600 cases of mal-treatment, and
one non commissioned officer for 1920.

What is Germany fighting for? In
the memorable days of July, 1914,
when the peace of Europe hung by a
hair, England and France begged her
to throw her influence against war;
and without a doubt she could have
prevented a blow from being struck
if she had wanted to do so. Why did
she want war?
The Kaiser himself answered the
question in 1915 when he said: 1.-THE
triumph of the greater Germany
which some day must dominate all
Europe, is the single end for which
we are fighting" Nothing indefinite
about that. And no one can dispute
the right of the Kaiser to say what
the war is for. After all, it is his var.
But the German purpose to domi-
nate was not suddenly reused by this
war. AS long ago as 1902 the Kaiser
declared, in a speech at AiX-la-Cfa-
pelle, that sit is to the empire of the
world that German genius aspireS."
In 1912 the Imperial Chancellor af-
firmed that Germany's purpose was to
make her strength and capability
prevail in the world. THE German
people is so situated in Europe, Tan
neberg gloatingly remarked in 1911,
in his Greater Germany, that it
needs only to run and take whatever
it desires"
The means by which Germany ex-
pected to achieve dominance was war.
At his accession the Kaiser said to
the army that they were born for one
another. In 1913 the Crown Prince
wrote: 1T is only by relying on our
good German sword that we can hope
to conquer that place in the sun which
rightly belongs to us. Till the
world comes to an end the ultimate
decision must rest with the sword"
On the Imperial ships of war the fav-
orite toast has long been Auf den
Tag-"To the day'-that is, the day
on which the German dreadnaught
should be let loose upon the British
Navy.
Back of the plan to dominate has
been the cool assumption that the Ger
mans are superior to all other peoples,
and that it is part of the divine order
that they shall rule. I'VE are the salt
of the EARTH" asserted the Kaiser at
Bremen in 1905. THE Teutons are
the aristrocracy of humanity" de-
clares Woltmann. God has called US
to civiliZe the world" said the Kaiser
in the Bremen speech; I'VE are the
missionaries of human progress" I'VE
shall conquer everywhere" he said
again; for there lives a powerful
ally, the good old God in heaven, who
=. has always been on our side
These views-which for twenty
five years have been diligently cult
waited by government officials, army
and navy men, scholars, journalists,
and even preachers = clearly betray
the German purpose to gain power at
the expense of other peoples.

THE PART OF WOMEN IN FOOD
PRICE REGULATION.

Woman's work in food administra-
ton extends beyond the home, for
she has distinct police service to
perform. Prices and profits on nee
essary food staples are controlled I'M
der the license system of the Food Ad-
mlnistration, amplified by personal
pledges given by retail food dealers,
and backed by fair price schedules
published in each community news
paper.
The housewife chances over the fair
price schedule for butter, say, and that
same day finds that the price asked
by her grocer is several cents higher
If she fails to understand her function
as volunteer inspector of the Food
Administration, she may pay the price
without protest to her grocer, and later
enter complaint with the local food
administrator. If she understands,
however, that food control machinery
has been organized with a distinct
funtion for her as an inspector she will
take the matter up directly with her
grocer, asking his reasons for charg
W
opinion of the Food Administration.
In some cases the high price may be
justified by superior quality in the
product. Or she may trade at a store
where she enjoys credit and delivery
service, which naturally involve price
somewhat higher than is charged in
cash-and-carry store. If there is
lawful reason for price difference, she
is entitled to know about it, and sue
cessful food control depends upon her
efforts as a volunteer inspector far
more than upon any system or profess
sional inspection that can be devised.
Where overcharges are actually
found, they should be promptly re-
ported to the local food administrator,
who will take up complaints and deal
with Violators. The shopping house.
wife should confine her purchases to
stores that display the retailers
pledge under which the merchant
agrees to sell licensed food articles at
a definite maximum profit. Where
this pledge is violated the pledge pos,
ter is taken away from the merchant.
Food control naturally involves mis-
understandings leaves many loop
holes open for violators, and burdens
local food administrators with detail
work The housewife who constantly
keeps in mind the fact that she, as
pledge signer, has become a member
of the Food Administration, can do
more than anyone else to see that
food control is enforced. This duty
is as definite war service as economy
i'm her kitchen and at her table.

THE MONEY COMES BACK

The cycle OF money invested in Lib
erty Bonds is short and complete. The
people lend the money to the Govern
ment, the Government lends some to
our Allies, and our Government and
our Allies straightway spend the
money, or the greater portion of it,
among the people of the United States.
In some instances the money paid in
by wage Gamers on one installment of
Liberty Bonds is paid by the Govern
ment to their employers, and by their
employers paid back to them in the
way of wages before the next Bond
installment is due.

MADE-IN- GERMANY LIES
CIRCULATED IN CANADA

Canada is also having trouble with
Made-in- Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation ac-
cording to an official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food adj
miniStration.
The stories bothering Canada are
of the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced in this coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power of destruction that lies
in battalion of soldiers.
Stories without even a vestige Of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement
"Nor have they come TO life casually.
They have started simultaneously In
different parts of the country and in
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public Indignation.
They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent. Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust. the great essential in the work
of food control.
1T lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; TO refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
TO cooperate in work which is going
to mean more than the majority Of
people yet realize"

AMOS PINCHOT FOR
HIGH PROFITS TAX

NEW YORK, Aug. 12-Amos Pin
ehot in an open letter to Congressman
Kitchin, chairman Of the Ways and
Means Committee Of the House, urges
an 80 per cent excess profits tax on
American business corporations.
The corporations that are perform
ing the tremendous work Of supplying
the Government with war materials
should be encouraged" he says. "They
should be well paid for their efficient
and invaluable services in helping to
beat the Kaiser. But IL seems a little
too much that the public should have
TO pay S115, 900 900 a year to less than
800 companies, in order to keep them
on the job. and key them to the neces-
sary degree of patriotic activity. After
all intense as may be the patriotic
effort Of the executives and stockhold-
ers- Of these companies, 1t amounts to
q lesser sacrifice than does the effort
of our officers and common soldiers in
France, who are facing death on the
firing line for q much smaller re-
ward" -.
Regarding pronteers he writes:
-I believe that, II the profiteer were
directly appealed to by persons of au-
thority as. for instance, the gentlemen
forming your comInittee, he might, in
many instances, be persuaded to act
like q good loyal citizen. Such an .ap-
peal, of course. would not obviate the
necessity Of q drastic revenue bill: but
IL would, think. give the war strong
er moral support in business circles,
clarity the atmosphere as to the obli-
cations OF wealth in war time, and
make proper revenue legislation a
comparatively easy matter"
