THE JUNIORS
Are Well Taken Care Of by the Chau.
tauqua Leaders and Big Time :
Is Promised Them.

The Young woman who has charge
of the Junior Chautauqua Is called
Junior Leader. 1t is her business to
know all the stories that boys like
best, and the games that will be the
most fun to play and to be real
leader.
Do you know why the Kinghsher
wears his head feathers up on end!
Why the mountain lion Is long and
lean? DO you know who Jerry Moore
is? and why men who held big gov
eminent positions in the unHed
States came to talk with him although
he was only twelve years old? The
Junior League knows all these things
and will be glad to tell you about
them.
The Junior Leader is college girl
who knows Just the best kind OF new
games and who likes to get up early
in the morning and go hiking. She
knows how to play volley ball, basket
ball. baseball and many other games
Won will want to learn. She knows
the folks dances of the different coun-
tries and will teach you how to dance
them all. If you like to be in plays
he sure to tell the Junior Leader
about it for there are some fine parts
in the play which the Juniors VIII
give during the Chautauqua.
The Senior Chautauqua program Is
full of good things which all will en-
ioy. The music is particularly good
this year and a number of the attrac-
tions couldn't be better If they had
been especially chosen to suit the
needs of the Juniors.
The last sentence of the Law OF
LOYALTY is: 81 will try above all TO
be loyal to humanity. Then | shall
surely be loyal to my country, my
town, my school and my family
He who obeys the law of loyalty
obeys all the other nine laws of my
family.
Every Junior who attends the Chau-
tauuua will be given little booklet
containing the full code and 1t is wei
worth having. Father and mother
will be interested in it, too.

German families and in German
schools. 1t permeates the very life of
Germany, and, therefore, an act OF
barbarism as Americans think of bar
barism is not barbarism to the Ger
mans who commit it.
"Had continued to live in Ger
many it would never have occurred to
me that l had done anything wrong.
l had only followed the custom all
Germans are taught at home and in
school, but after ! became a man |
settled in America, and as / came to
understand the spirit of American
civilization 1t grew upon me that l
had committed crime, and now for
% years,-as some atonement for my
sin, | have been supporting that Grip
pied man and his widowed mother.
But bear in mind, had | remained in
Germany no one would ever have
thought of suggesting to me that
had done wrong, and it would never
have entered into my head that | was
under any obligation to the man had
MANNED. In the light of American
civilization l understand the differ
ence and l am seeking to atone for
my sin, but all Germans have been
taught. The Germans, therefore. in
their campaign of frightfulness are
committing deeds which from the
viewpoint of Germans are not crimes
at all"
Probably no clearer light was ever
thrown upon the reason why Ger
mans can commit the awful crimes
that have stained the life of that ma
ton was ever given than this testi-
mony of a rich German-American who
has now so thoroughly imbibed the
spirit of American civilization that
he looks with horror upon the crime
which he committed and seeks to
atone for it.
His statement bears witness to the
truth of the philosophical conclusions
reached by Mr.. Mullins in his illumi-
mating review of the development of
German Kultur. We must therefore
understand the brutality of the Ger
man nation as it has now lowered
into fruition the teachings of many
years and realize the character of the
country that is making war upon us,
and fight this demon-like power unto
its complete destruction. This is a
definite war of barbarism and brute
force against civilization, and one or
the other will inevitably be DESTROYED.

THE GERMAN NATIONS BRUTAL
ITY A NATURAL PRODUCT OF
GERMAN "KULTUR"

at is easy to discern why Germany
feels no qualms of conscience in the
use of any criminal method employed
to win the war. She does not DELHI
erately become a criminal. For tire
German in this war there is no such
thing as crime. What we call crime
she considers means to a holy end.
She hos organized in thoroughgoing,
scientific manner the whole domain
Of crime as a measure for winning the
war. Cutting off the hands of Bel
gian children and the scattering of
disease germs accomplish two results.
They kill or main the enemy and they
fill him with terror of the German
name"
The foregoing is an extract from a
broad philosophical discussion of the
history of the growth of German Kul-
tur by Rev. E. Y. Mullins, d. D., L.
D., president of the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary, one of the most
widely known and most learned min
fsters in America, who in tracing the
history of German Kultur reaches the
conclusion which he has thus so
clearly and graphically stated. Here
Is a statement Of great religious
leader that the German nation has be-
come so stepped in crime and bar
barism that it has no computations of
conscience. 1t is against such a fear
full condition of Immortality that we
are fighting to save ourselves from
this Hunnish, devilish brutality. DR..
Mullins article is published in full in
this issue.
A specific illustration will illumi-
nate the whole story and doubtless
give even to DR.. Mullins a clearer in
sight into the reason for German bar
barism than that developed from his
philosophical researches. The story
is this:
Mr.. William c. Seldom, Baltimore
banker and son of the Secretary OF
War of the Confederacy, has in New
York a friend of German birth. who
however, to his everlasting credit, has
to some extent overcome that handi-
cap and is now wholly American in
spirit. Some months ago Mr.. Seldom,
in conversation wit hthis friend, de-
nOunced the barbarism of Germany;
and this gentleman in reply said:
"Mr. Seldom, you must remember
that the barbarism of Germany is not
barbarism as viewed by Germans, and
/ will illustrate in nv own life the
reason for this.
when grew up in Germany there
was student in the same school who
had something which / wanted 1t
belonged to him, but wanted it, and
jumped on him and beat him up so
badly that l MANNED him for life, but
/ got what / wanted. When I went
home my parents patted me on the
back and commended me for my pow
ess in taking from my student
what I wanted. They told me that 7
must always follow that method
