MUST NOT YIELD

England, France and the United
States, as we'll as other of the allied
countries, are united in the thought
that the military power in Germany
must be crushed before the world will
be a safe place in which to live. The
German war lords, as President Will
son has well said, are not to be trust
ed. Bismark's forged telegram, sim
liar acts in this war, the tricks of
Bernstorff and others, clearly spell
the untrustworthines of the Teuton
war lords. The world would never

SOLDIERS INSURANCE

IL one important respect at least
tac soldiers insurance legislation is
already an enormous success, says an
exchange. With 10000 policies re-
corded, the total insurance already
written amount to over a billion dol
lars. Every private can get as much
insurance as a general, if he will pay
for it-and the charges are very mod
crate. The apparent result is that a
great many of the rank and file are
evidently taking out the maximum, or
$1O,0 900 policy, although the average
policy is said to be for $500. If the
army is increased to 100000 men,
the government may have to insure it
for about II billions.

GREAT EVENTS

Greater events are tranSpiring these
DAYS than ever before in the history
of the world. The recent move by
the government in taking over the
control of the railroads would have
been considered a great revolution in
peaceful times. The task is stupen-
dous and if success follows it means
government control in the future,
bring to an end many perplexing ques-
tons. The government has fought
pooling and then with one big stroke
pools them all, the best thing to be
done. BY unifying the railroads the
greatest railroad system is formed.
Look at the figures:
Number of employees-about
100000, with an equal number in
related locomotive, freight car and
other plants.
Miles of tracks operated-about
100000.
Number of railroad companies
embraced-about 700.
All cars in SERVICE, 800, 600.
CAPITAL stock and funded debt
$17o0o,Oo0.
Gross annual operating revenues
$4,000, 600, 900.
Gross annual operating expenses
$4,000, 100000.
Tons of annual freight ,500,-
100000.
Passengers carried yearIy-1,-
25O,Ooo,ooo.
The outcome Of the action of the
government is a seven-league step
toward socliasm, socialists say, and
the result will be watched with inter
est.

ZEPPELINS A FAILURE

The boosted Zeppelins have proven
a failure as a part of the German war
machine. Thirty-five Of the f1fty-three
have been totally destroyed and 9th
ers are badly damaged or are miss
ing. In boastful pride the German
war lords came forth with the air
craft in 1914 to conquer the earth
at least about Germany-a are now
forced to look upon the scheme as a
dismal failure. The old adage that
pride goes before fall is certainly
true in this instance. They were only
useful in killing women and children,
a barbaric act of their owners.

there is a change The door of oppor-

THE TABLES TURNED

Anent the agitation to GUST German
teachers in the public schools of this
country, there comes a letter from a
Capital reader, telling of the expert
ence of a cousin, high school teach
er. who visited Germany in 1913 and
was forced to believe even then that
the Huns were teaching things in
their own schools which they did not
care for Americans to know about. The
letter. written from Helmstedt, Ger
many, said:
"Of course, we were wild to visit
Margaretta's school, and especially
what would correspond to our high
school. Margaretta went to ask per-
mission, and what do you think! We
lcan't visit single school in Germany.
They say it is against the rules. We
feel that they are afraid of us. We
do so want to visit them, but we
can't" However, further on the let
ter said, "They like to hear about our
schools, government and country"
And yet there are people posing as
patriots in this country who still con-
tend that German born school teach
ers should be allowed to teach the
children of America to "Hoch der
Kaiser" in the face of the fact that
Germany undoubtedly uses her schools

generation against this nation, and
