IS THE LIGHT BREAKING?

The kaiSer'S Standardization speech
delivered recently at army headquar-
ters on the thirtieth anniversary OF
his assuming the imperial crown. is
not sitting we'll with the more intelli-
gent class of Germany. In the full
vanity Of his belief in the success Of
German arms, the Kaiser admitted
that his real aim in preparing such
military power rs he has was to estab-
lish it throughout the world. This
was the purport Of his words. Here
tofure whenever there has been a
prospect that the real purpose might
NOT succeed, we have had him pitiful
" exclaiming that he did not will The
war. and there has been pretense that
there were hostile designs against
Germany and it had TO defend Itself
from aggression. The people were
made 10 believe that there had long
been a menace of that kind and that
all the military preparation was for
denfenSe against it.
The reception OF this speech among
the German people is encouraging that
they are al last awakening from the
delusion forced on them that they
were fighting for the very existence
OF the Fatherland. In what is said
in, fi.nnffh from IN
rich 10 Washington, there is quota
ton from the Frankfurter Ieitung in
and many Germans will agree with US,
that the Kaiser has made war and is
continuing it for the sole purpose OF
enforcing German supremacy on the
world" Il is said that the people
were not told by their rulers OH .Au-
gust /. 1914. that they were going TO
make war to put down AnSio-SaX9n
supremacy. If they had been told that
or he slightest allusion had been made

would have been unanimous. and the

NOW A MATTER OF RATIoNs

The scarcity Of food may have some
thing to do with the deterioration OF
the force of the Austrian offensive.
which seems to have utterly collapsed
onsthe Piave. 1t is significant that an
Austrian prisoner told his captors that
there was no food for the people OF
Austria and next to none for the army.
~ had" he confessed, but a few
pieces Of bread and potatoes before
s: the fight, and since the fight began l
have had none. The army cannot last
more than couple of months at the
best"
Germany is not any better off than
- Austria in the food line, and it is not
to be supposed that she finds the pro-
visioning of her large army on the
western front simple or an easy mat
ter. While the German forces were
! distributed over a wide range 1t was
= possible in great part TO vlctual them
: from the immediate region, thus re-
ducing transport. Conditions have now
i changed for the worse. A shortage OF
= food is now general; all Europe Is
hungry" The food which in armies
-. on the eastern front had been drawn
= from the occupied regions must now
be collected and sent TO them, or re-
:: placed by stores drawn from Germany,
in either case making a considerable
new demand on Transport But trans
port is over-burdended, and for years
has been progressively deterioraung.
1t is doubtful, also. whether at pres
s5sent the troops still left on the eastern
front can be Withdrawn, for the SIM
pie reason that they are needed to
J.. protect the crops and the transporta-
ton Of grain to Germany. The Ger
man people have been put on very
short rations, with no promise OF an
increase before August, and even the
: army ration seems to have been re-
= duced. These conditions may have
their bearing on the military stua-
ton. If, for example. it should be
found necessary 10 keep several hum
dred thousand potential German re-
serves in the east till the harvest has
-cbeen reaped and safely shipped 90

-,arrival Of a greater number Of Alneri-
/: ~can reserves for the Allies on the
9.western front. The war increasingly
~ becomes a matter OF rations.

made a speech. Mr.. Marshall is al
ways ready with speech. and his will

to the sedate members Of his party.
He was particularly offensive on this
occasion in his illusions 20 Republi-
cans and the party. There is no OBJ
lection 20 the Vice President making
"a partisan speech. but the country is
getting tired Of the assumption on the
part OF the administration that loyalty
IDS an exclusive Democratic virtue

apce Of the Vice President be con-
strued: What is lamentable in Re-
publican organization patriotism is its
duplication in American ltfe oS the
Prussian idea. II is not needful 20 De

Of this professedly non-partisan admin
is tration, the emission OF such bali

is of slight significance compared TO

thirty when Mr.. Vance, the man
who came with me from Camp
Taylor, and L got settled in our

visions of possibly lying there
for hours and stealing out in
the darkness of the night, but
not so. By four O'Clock we were

were not allowed to make our

We could look from the Win

down the bay. away from the
pier and there was marked diff

and the one time departure OF
such a ship. No crowd on the
wharf to say good bye, in fact nc
one except those actually sailing
