Process Extends Over Cen
tury, Says Speaker AT
Baptist Church
CLERGY AND EDITORS
SUBSIDIZED TO CAUSE
Teachers In Public Schools
Reserve Officers; Kaiser
Is Supreme Power

How for the past 100 years the
German imperial government has
been working to get control of the
public opinion in Germany; how,
when it did control that opinion, per-
sonality was suppressed in the army
among the ranks; how the clergy and
school teachers were put under IL
cense and made members of the mil
itary before they could go about their
respective duties, were the ideas
worked out by Prof. w. A. Chamber
lain Of Denison university, who spoke
at the Baptist church Tuesday even
ing on THE German Grip on Public
Opinion" under the auspices of the
Denison lecture course.
Two ideas stood out in Prof Cham
berlain's lecture; The power of the
German imperial government over
the clergy and teachers and the mill
tary training given every man of ply
steal fitness.
The first, the power over the clergy
and teachers, was described to the
most minute detail, the speaker
showing how, before the clergyman
went into the pulpit, he was forced to
take an oath to support the German
government and preach the policies
of the government to the people and
how even the teachers in private
schools were licensed and how the
majority of teachers in the public
schools We're reserve officers.
Another step, one to suppress the
leaking Of any unfavorable informa

and Division streets asking for this
benefit on a similar plan. Both the
petition and the recommendation of
the service director were referred to
the finance committee and the city
solicitor.
ASSESSMENTS LEVIED
An ordinance providing for special
assessments against properties in
South Catherine street to pay for the
paving OF this street between High
and Gambler streets was passed. The
ordinance provides for an assessment
of 1856 per foot frontage.
On motion of Mr.. Hookway the city
solicitor was instructed to call a
meeting of the board of equalization
which was appointed by the former
council to work in connection with
the assessments against properties in
several streets recently improved.
The board is composed of Riley
Moore, William Appleton, Sr., and
George Lepley.
A long discussion on the much
mooted telephone case resulted in
the passage of a motion to instruct
the city solicitor to attend the hear
ing before the public utilities COM
mission in Columbus in the matter of
the merger of the two companies in
this city to care for the city's inter.
ests.
Many matters of Il routine nature
were also before the council Monday

army work in the United States at
present. comprising about one-eighth
of the physicians of the country.
In contrasting medical and surgical
attention given soldiers in the civil
war with that given the soldiers at
present, DR., Larimore had slides
shown on the large screen, put up for
the purpose, showing conditions ex-
listing in the civil war from actual
photographs from which he had slides
made for this lecture. Then there
were no Red Cross nurses, no system
of treating the wounded and the re-
construction of the bodies of soldiers
was unknown.
In connection with this actual con-
ditions and maps of the Battle Of
Shiloh, in which Dr. Larlmore himself
was a participant, were shown on the
screen and the battle refought with
many personal instances brought in
which added to the realness of the
sketch.
Following this slides were shown
of present day surgery as exerted in
saving the lives and health of many
American. French and British fight
ers. Reconstruction of bones and
limbs, irrigation of wounds, one of
the greatest surgical institutions ev.
er developed, and many other ways
of treating the wounded Of the battle
fields of Europe were shown.
During his lecture, DR.. Larimore re
counted his own experiences with
"gray.backs", more commonly known
now by the name Of "cooties body
lice--which the soldiers in the trench
es without fail always acquire.
Chairman Dowds, at the close of the
lecture, which lasted about two hours
and half, announced that early IL
March another series of slides witt
lectures would be shown at the same
place on the work of the American
Red Cross in France.

ton, was taken by the imperial gov
ernment through the press Of the
country. Editors were forced to give
the name of some responsible person
lice and although 1t was not called
censorship at the time, advance cop
les of every newspaper had to be Civ
Ell to the police authorities for in
spection. The result was that many
editors were placed in Jail and many
issues of newspapers were suppress
ed.
In connection with the military
side of controlling public opinion,
Prof. Chamberlain spoke of the com
plete subjugatiCn of the privates and
non-commissioned officers in the
army to those higher up. Often men
were beaten, but they did not com
plain.
The absolute power of the kaiser in
Germany was discussed The reichs-
tag is cnly a legislative body in name
for the kaiser has absolute authority
as emperor of Germany and kaiser OF
Prussia. The few rights granted the
people are made in the form of priv
ileges given through the grace of the
kaiser and not as rights through the
reichstag.
Professor Chamberlain was the
last speaker on the course.

How the life of American boys in

and through the Army Y. NJ c. A.
we're the two subjects discussed at
the big joint meeting at the Church

S. G. Dowds presided over the meet
ing as chairman, first introducing b.

Army "i".
Mr.. Williams brought forth the testi.
mony of many army officers as well as
privates as to the great good being
done by these organizations under one
centralized head in the different parts
of the world, even taking up the work
being accomplished by them on the
deserts where English Tommies are
combating the Turks.
Possibly the most forcible remark
made was that which came from an
u Battery man, Sergeant John l..
Breeze, who is in training with that
battery at Camp Sheridan, Montgom-
cry, Ala Breeze, in reply TO ques-
tions from Mr.. Williams, said that
there was nothing he could suggest

accomplished by the organization was
beyond comprehension, There is no
word except of praise at Camp Sheri

for the Army Y NJ c. A.

Municipal Bonds Will Carry

In Future

Despite the fact that all street i'm
by the property owners benefited by
the Improvement through the levying
of special assessments against their
property, the city loses money on ev-
cry piece of work of this kind done,
was the startling declaration of City
| Engineer Anderson before the coun-
Gil meeting Monday night.
This loss, the city engineer says,
is due to the fact that the cost of the
| improvements is certified to the coun-
| ty auditor and treasurer for collec-
tion and under the law these offices
are given 296 of the amount for the
cost of collection.
The engineer says that he is III the
dark as to whether the city can right
ly tack on this 2qo before certifying
the sums for collection, but does not
believe it can be done. This condi.
tion not only causes the city dead
loss of $4,000 on every 100000
worth of work, which must be made
up from somewhere, but also oper'
ates against the citizen who pays
cash for the assessment against his
| property as he Is automatically
charged for collection just the same
