THEY ANNOYED GOD

Supermen play their little parts in excessive world dramas until their excessive weight disturbs the balance of human destiny and then a period is put their lurid The Kaiser has had many prototypes in the history of the word-men who like himself sought world domination, who arrogated to themselves divine right and divine annontment; men who lowered sufficiently high above men of their day to conceive and to carry vast conquest, only to find in the end omnpotent check to their vaulting ambitions Alexander Nero and Ceasar spilled cas- cades human blood in their lust for power, to have in the finger God wipe their hollow pretensons and sweep them into ingorious oblivion.
 Napoleon genius of and organization, failed of his souls desire and ignominously suffered i'm prsonment and death because he annoyed God said Victor Hugo, the great French writer and historian It not Wellington, Butcher that defeated the Corscan at Waterloo and put end to his dream of world domination but the Almighty, who had tired of the pretentious buccaneer early nineteenth century, says Huga, and decided it time he should fall Here is the judgment told in Les Miser- ables:
 e Was it possible for Napoleon to win the
 battle? We answer in the negative. Why? On
 account of Wellington? On account of Blu
 cher? No; account of God.
 "Bonaparte, victor at Waterloo, did not har
 monize with the law of the nineteenth century.
 Another series of facts preparing to which
 Napoleon longer had place; the ill will
 of events has been displayed long previously.
 Tt was time for this vast man to fall.
 His excessive weight in human destiny

 in single head-the world mounting to

 ments on which the regular gravitations of the moral order of the material order depend, X complained. Streaming blood, overcrowded grave yards mothers in tears, formidable plead ysars. Wben the earth is suffering from an sexssssive burden. there mysterious groans

 Waterloo is not battle, but a transforma-
 tiop of the universe"
 NOW, As then, there overcrowded graveyards and sreaming blood Solemn treaties and iternational compacts are scraps of paper. Death famine and destruction stalk the broad highways of the world Never before has the world so suffered and bled every insufferable bully and tyrant that made the -nVers run run with blood and the world travail in srief was called 10 final and fearful accounting by an unseen power. 50 will the Attila of Ger many hear the call to judgment It is not with the eternal plan that there shall repose within one mans brain the worlds desire and aspiration He must and will fall. Where itN will come and when no man can now predict but came it will. Great Britain. France.
