SOCIAL RANK IN GERMANY
Of Life That Existed Under Auto
cratic and Military Rule.

'"The great majority of immigrants
belong to the poorer classes" said
Richard Lieber in a speech in Indian
apOlis, according to the German De.
mOcracy Bulletin. "But no matter
how poor or weli-to-do, they belong in
circumscribed class out of which
they cannot move except in extraordi-
nary circumstances. What has Ameri.
ca done for them? If it had not done
another thing than to remove this
damnable barrier it would be entitled
to our undying thanks and devotion.
Here we meet on a common plane; in
Germany we were assigned to q def
mite spot in their medieval layer cake
and there we stay, our children and
grandchildren.
"YOu remember, of course, that in
Germany the youngest lieutenant is
eligible to court attendance, whereas
in civil service Ne rank has to be
very high to be most graciously COM
manded.' That circumstance gave rise
to the striking expression attributed
to shavetail Of Potsdam guard Of
ficer: In civilian life, human beings
only begin with the rank Of private
counselor
"HOw many of us under the classi.
fication would have right to consid-
er ourselves human beings at all?
"It may be said that this is merely
joke, but know whereof I speak,
for my father was an officer of the
government and the army and although
he had practically only three men be-
tween himself and the emperor, l do
remember how that high-minded and
liberal man ached under the restric.
tions of class and rank. for one got
enough of it in time, and although !
have many pleasant and even tender
memories of the old country, they are
strictly disconnected from any tOler-
ance Of the absolute and medieval
claptrap of royalty and its adulators.
''TO those few, however, who even
now fail in unqualified loyalty to our
country, and who still live in their
thought in Germany, to those few l
say:
"'YOu are not wanted over there
and you are not needed here. You
want to be citizen of two countries,
and you are a citizen nowhere. Ger
many sneers at you for your academic
sympathies and the United States
holds you in contempt for your pitiful
attempt to be true to two political
wives
"Walter Damrosch and I, about ten
years ago, had discussed America and
Germany; when speaking of the many
beautiful things abroad, he suddenly
sighed and exclaimed:
"'But with all, should want to be

that I am in America, would at least
have to be Landgrave Of fhuringia or

LENROOT AND CHILD LABOR

"The employment of children In
premature labor is an assault on the
found1tions of society,"" say the sociol-
ogists. They point out that wartime
conditions have enormously Increased
Juvenile delinquency through violations
of child labor and compulsory educa-
tion laws. They say:
1T is difficult to measure the sac
rifice that the relaxing of child well
fare regulations has already meant
in terms of human welfare and happi-
ness. We can only guess as yet what
the price may be that we shall have
to pay. But certain facts make it
quite clear that if we wish to preserve
our national treasure-the children
we must increase rather than lower
our regulations; give greater protec-
ton instead Of less; take more chill
dren out of industry rather than put
more children in"

P0LAND'S FIRST PRESIDENT-IF

If out Of the great war comes the
republic Of Poland and Jan Ignace
Paderewski is made it's first president,
the new republic will not have to tell
the world who its chief executive is.
For all the world knows that he Is the
foremost pianist Of his day and gener-
alton and among the greatest perform
ers the world has seen.
Born in 1859 In Podolia, which was

JAMES R. MANN-NEXT SPEAKER?

The election of November 5
changed the political complexion of
congress. When the members-elect
take their seats March 4 next the Re-
publicans will control both houses.
When the Republicans organize
the house, who will be elected speaker
to succeed Champ Clark? The West
thinks James r. Mann Of Illinois is the
man. The East picks Frederick H.
Gillett of Massachusetts. Nicholas
Longworth of Ohio is considered the
dark horse.
Mann represents one Of the most
important districts in the whole cOun-
try-several South side wards of Chi
cago. He is an old-timer, having served
ten successive terms. Gillett is even
more of an old-timer, having served
II terms.
In picking Gillett the East elimi-
mates Mann after this fashion: ut is
now generally accepted that Mann, the

LESSON FOR DECEMBER IS
JOSEPH FoRGIVEs HIS BRETH-
Rem.

LESSON TEXT-Genesis 451-15.
I GOLDEN TEXT-If ye forgive men

also forgive you.-Matthew 6:14

I. Joseph DiseIoses His Identity 70
His Brethren wv. 1-3).
He treated his brethren harshly at
flrst, his purpose being to ascertain as
to whether they were the same cruei'
heartless men as before, and to
produce penitence in their hearts. They
keenly felt their guilt and heartily re-
pented of their folly. Judah's pathetic
appeal overcarne his sfapparent harsh
ness, causing him to disclose his iden-
tity. Being unable to restrain his pent-
up emotions he orders every one from
his presence. This act on the part or
Joseph troubled them; it ought to have
made them glad. Their sins prevented
it being a time of Joy for them. This
most beautifully illustrates ChristS
dealing with his brethren, the Jews.
Just as they who had rejected him and
sold him were compelled to come to
him for aid, so when the great tribula-
ton comes, Christ's brethren, the Jews,
will cry unto him for aid Daniel 9:27;
1921; Matthew "a :21; Zechariah II 10
14). Joseph dealt severely with his
brethren to test them and bring them
to repentance. So Christ will do with
the Jews (Hosea 5 5:15; Ezekiel % :19-
%. AS Joseph's love was behind his
harsh exactings, so back of Christ's
treatment of the Jews viii be his great
love for them. /
II. Joseph,s Efforts to Assuage the
Grief Of His Brethren wv. 4-s).
When Joseph revealed himself to his
brethren, the remembrance of their
sins pierced them through. Joseph's
first question was about his father.
This shows that his desire was to put
their thoughts far away from their
crime. He invited them to come near
unto him, and assured them God had
overruled their crime in sending him
for their salvation. They meant it for
evil, but it was part Of Gods plan for
good. This does not excuse them from
the guilt Of the sin. In some future
time Christ will become reconciled to
his brethren, the Jews, and be their
Savior and benefactor (Isaiah II 10
16). Peter, on the day Of Pentecost.
showed that the Jews treatment Of
Christ was such, and that Gods over
ruling providence had turned it out
for good. Just as Egypt was obliged
to come to Joseph for sustenance and
become servants for Pharaoh through
him Genesis AZ 1920, so will all the
world yet come to Christ for his bless
ing, and be reconciled to God through
him (Isiaiah 2:2-4; 11:1O; Psalms
72 :7-17; Zechariah IA 4:1G. s.
III. Joseph Sent His Brethren With
Good News to his Father wv. 9-15).
AS soon as Joseph's brethren knew
him and were reconciled to him, they
were sent with the glad tidings to
their father. He assured them that he
would nourish them and that they
should be near him. They were direct
ed to tell of his glory. Jacob would
not have mourned the death of Joseph
had he known of his glory. He now
gave them the kiss Of reconciliation
and they were permitted to talk with
him. Reconciliation precedes com.

ALBERT !, HERO OF HEROES

If the world were asked to choose
the hero of heroes of the greatest war
of all history, on whom would the
choice fall? The list Of popular heroes
is long-Wilson, Pershing, Lloyd
George, Haig, Beatty, Sims, Clemen-
ceau, Petain, Joffre, Foch, Diaz, Luf-
berry, Guynemer, and so on.
Each of these popular heroes
would undoubtedly have his adher-
ents. But many people in all the ma
tons of earth would choose as the
hero Of heroes:
. Albert /, king Of Belgium.
They would not claim that Albert
was the superior of these men in the
qualities that make them great. They
would simply say in his behalf:
"Here is a man who instantly saw
his duty and did 1t forthwith because
1t was his duty. When Germany de-
manded passage for her troops he re
