DECIDING NOTHING, MILITARISM
RUINS ALL

The German high command having
had to make two drives at the same part
of the Allied line, and haying Jared im-
mensely worse in the second attempt
than in the first, there must begin to be
a grave question in the minds OF many
thousands of the German people as to-
the sense or purpose Of thus wasting
luives and eating up reserves in accom-
plishing nothing. The dullest intelligence
among them must realize that the power
O fthe Allies is constantly increasing with
the arrival Of Americas contribution,
while that of the Central Powers is Ge-
teriorating in an ven more rapid and
fatal ratio. f.
It would appear that recent events
must inevitably have had an important
effect upon the state of German opinion.
Until there shall be satisfactory evidence
that the Kaiser's subjects have reached d
complete change of heart there is 10 use
in pretending to think that the world has
come within hailing distance Of peace.
But after it is admitted that the sword
cannot bring about a decision such Us the
Prussian m~ilitarists, have been counting
upon, there should be little difficulty in
admitting the logical corollary that a
militarism which can decide nothing j.
itself q 'lostcause. When that much is
conceded and when the German theories
of war and conquest are entirely swept
away it will begin to be time to build in
ternational agreements upon q new foun-
dalton and reach an international under.
standing that will give promise of per-
manence and effectiveness. AL this con-
templates that the scales must first fall
fro mthe eyes Of the German peoples, so
that they may Sc clearly why they have
come to their present plight, and how
they can come out of it. Their present
system with its despotism and inhuman-
ity is an utterly impossible institution in
the new ordr Of things. If the German
people will bring about the extinction of
Prussianism with all that the odious term
implies, the horrors of war can be speed
lily stayed. If they will not do this them
selves, the Allies are determined to 10 it
for them.--Deseret Nws.

AUTOMOBILE WRECKS

Most people who drive an automobile
do not realize the tremendous power Of
the mechanism, nor the damage that it
can do If not correctly controlled. But
the garages that handle automobile
wrecks often see things that the general
public might well know
There is q tendency among many
newspaper reporters, in cases where q
bad accident results from carelessness,
to gloss over the affair. They have some
feelings for the relatives Of the dead
man, and do not like always to reveal
the whole story of his folly. While this
attitude is creditable to q reporters SYM
pathies, vet it would be for the public
advantage to know why these things
happen.
A high speeding car is easily DETECTED
by faults in the road SO that it will leave
the travelled way. A friend tells us Of a
csse where q car thus sideswiped an OBJ
struction several outside the Travelled
road on one side. The wheel wa

hour. " -SsAs~~
The energy in a big a is enough to
turn the wheels Of a good sized factory.
The driver does not realize the havoc it
q create, or the dangerous positions it
can get into, if it strikes another car or
leaves the travelled way. 1T would do
many people good to be present at ore of
these wrecks, and hear the piteous walls
Of q victim calling Tor help.

publish a list of the many reliable savings

will be found helpful in this connection.
Help yourself in the practice Of thrift
by reading the advertising Of Dayton's

In addition to such regular savings as
you may figure upon you may always
add a little more by taking advantage Of

Whitley" tithan and his teammates
lost six games, which leaves only four
games lost i'm the other five seasons
This record is more remarkable when
it is considered that Girard doesn't ar
range easy contests. but meets the best
prep school qu!ntets in this section.

the ambition of the coaches of the Phil

Players Under Eighteen

Another fact about the Girard teams
that mustn't be overlooked; The day a
player reaches eighteen years Of age
he graduates Therefore all the players
on the Girard teams are under eighteen.
Coach RalstOn, athletic director of
the school, attributes the wonderful sue
cess of this years quintet to the excel
lence of the second tQam, against which
the varsity holds its practices.
The youngsters proved on many oc-
casions this season they had the neces-
sary speed and ability to hold their own
with the best first teams throughout
the city, for they gave the first team
men IA harder fight than many of the
teams which the latter met.
