WAR DESPONDENCY,

tBv Rev. r. ]. Campbell. Famous Brit

A wave of encouragement has been

various sources, chief among which IS
the italian disaster. It is somewhat
disconeerting to find that three wears

time, before the Germans would be
compelled to retreat from the coast
and relax their hold on Belgium. Now
1t looks like beginning all over again
1t is not for the mere lavman in

1t would be idle to DENY that doubt

whether our affairs are being as well

of events; there is tendency toward
pesSimlsm in the general outlook upon
the future, not only as concerns the
war, but everything else. We are said
to be a phlegmatic nation, logged and

Dress In London.

Something might be said of the
changes that three years Of war have
brought about in our clothes, says the
Manchester Guardian. Evening dress
is not abolished, but 1t is becoming
much less customary In theaters and
restaurants, and people coming up to
London who used to bring evening
clothes with them no longer do so.
Stiff white collars are disappearing,
and the soft collar is worn by all
classes. The democratic process had
already set in at the house OF COM
mons. One remembers the shock that
Mr.. Kerr Hardie's cloth cap created
on its first appearance there, but 1t
has advanced immensely since the war
began. Frock coats are in small and
diehard minority. Spats are on their
last legs. Top hats survive mirac-
ulously, it might seem, until one re-
members their enduring qualities, so
; that their persistence is only a form
of war economy after all.

But there are stronger proofs. One
of them is the meddlesomeness of the
Berlin government. The Kaiser once
remarked that nothing must go on
anywhere in which Germany does not
play a part" For long time before
1914 the Empires staggering, saber-
rafting habits kept all Europe in fear
of the terrible thing that finally hap
pened. More than once-as when the
Kaiser's government tried to form a
coalition of European nations against
us in 1898 to prevent our going to the
relief of Cuba-Our own country has
felt the sting of this German desire to
have hand in everything.
But if any one still doubts that the
German purpose was to rule at all
costs let him consider the Empires
record in army and navy building, and
it's attitude toward the reduction of
ornaments. From the days of Bis
marck, every interest was subordina-
ted to the ends of military efficiency.
AS late as 1918 the army-although
already much the largest in western
Europeans increased at stroke by
100000 men. Beginning in 1893, a gi-
gantic navy was built up, with view
so men in high position freely said
to Germany's future control of the
seas.
Furthermore, the Kaiser's govern
ment persistently blocked all propos-
ais for a reduction of ornaments. In
ternational conferences were held at
the Hague in 1899 and 1907 to discuss
this subject. But Germany both
times prevented action. Her delegates
at the first conference declared that
big ornaments are mot a burden but
a privilege; and shortly before the
second the Kaiser told King Edward
VII of Enelend that he would go to
war rather than allow disarmament
to be discussed. English proposals in
1912 and in 1913 that the two powers
take a holiday" from bodybuilding
for one year met no response.
Here is a striking fact. In the
spring of 1914 representatives of Great
Britain and Germany signed treaty
settling all territorial disputes be-
tween the two nations on terms so
fayn-able TO Germany that leading
German imperialist writer, Rohrbach,
was moved to pronounce the treaty
astonishing" and to add that it met
every reasonable demand. Yet Ger
many was moi satisfied, and within
six months had dragged Europe into
war.
She knew, as all the world now
knows, that the international arrange
ments at which she was aiming were
of such a character that no nation
could be made to accept them until
brought to its knees by force.
Macmillan Harden, the most fear
less of German editors, knew whereof
he spoke when he wrote, in Deem
Der. 1914: mot as weak-wilied blum
derers have we undertaken the fearful
risk Of this war. We wanted It."

How Foods May Be Conserved.
BY MISS DONNA DOWNS

(Member Food Conservation Conn.,
The body has two needs which food
supplies. Worn out tissues must be re-
paired and rebuilt and energy must be
supplied in order to produce heat for the
body and energy to carry on the processes
of life.
Sugars, starches and fats are heat and
energy producing foods, while meat,
eggs, fish, milk, cheese and cereals al d
and legumes (peas, beans and lentils)
are not.
Neither of these classes of foods can be
eliminated from the diet, so the problem
for the patriotic housekeeper during the
continuation of the war will be to SUBJ
stitute for the more generally used foods
of each Glass; some others which are not
needed by the army and by our allies for
food.
Our government urges us to use fish or
some cheese dish, or some lentil or eggs
instead of meat. Meat has always been
the principal dish of the meal on Ameri-
can tables. Stop this. Plan to have
some dish such as macaroni and cheese
or rice with white sauce and cheese. Use
nuts to take the place of meat when you
make meat loaf" Season it with sage
and onion and you will make your cam
outage hard to detect. Amy one of these
dishes will supply the same elements to
your food that meat dish would.
Sugar is needed for the use of the SOL
diers and our allies. Use fruits for des-
serts instead of sweetened buildings or
ices. Use corn syrup and honey as
sweetening when you cook or bake.
Make fruit dainties for your your child
rem instead of candies. They will not
only be patriotic but will be healthier for
it.
There is very little wheat left in our
country. Our soldiers need it. We have
many things to eat that they have not, so
we must get along without wheat bread
and without using wheat -four in our
cakes and cookies. Make good use of
the substitutes that you purchase with
your -four. Serve them at your table.
Use corn meal and flour and potato -four,
as we'll as barley and rye.
And above all other conservations of
special articles Save All Food. Do not
waste anything. Preach and practice
the gospel of the empty plate.

Germany's Plan, for World Power
By FREDERIC AUSTIN OGG Professor of Political Science
University of Wisconsin.
published under direction of w
If Wisconsin State Council Of Defense.

What is Germany lighting for? In
the memorable days of July, 1914,
when the peace of Europe hung by a
hair, England and France begged her
to throw her influence against war;
and without a doubt she could have
prevented blow from being struck
if she had wanted to do so. Why did
she want war?
The Kaiser himself answered the
question in 1915 when he said: 1.-THE
triumph of the greater Germany
which some day must dominate all
Europe, is the single cad for which
we are fighting" Nothing indefinite
about that. And no one can dispute
the right Of the Kaiser to say what
the war is tor. After all, it is his war.
But the German purpose to domi-
nate was not suddenly reused by this
war. AS long ago as 1902 the Kaiser
declared, in speech at Aix-la-Cha-
pelle, that st is to the empire of the
world that German genius aspires."
In 1912 the Imperial Chancellor af-
firmed that Germany's purpose was to
make her strength and capability
prevail in the world. 1.-THE German
pSOPlC 40 oO oAtuotO0 Al CuAOPO oA-
neberg gloatingly remarked in 1911,
in his Greater Germany, that it
needs only to run and take whatever
it desires"
The means by which Germany ex-
pected to achieve dominance was war.
At his accession the Kaiser said to
the army that they were born for one
another. In 1913 the Crown Prince
wrote: ut is only by relying on our
good German sword that we can hope
to conquer that place in the sun which
rightly belongs to us. Till the
world comes &c or end the ultimate
decision must rest with the sword"
On the Imperial ships of war the fav-
orite toast has long been Auf den
Tas-"Fo the day"-that Is, the day
on which the German dreadnaught
should be let loose upon the British
Navy.
Back of the plan to dominate has
been the cool assumption that the Ger
mans are superior ts ali other peoples,
and that it is part of She alvine order
that they shall rule. I'VE are the salt
of the EARTH" asserted the Kaiser at
Bremen in 1905. THE Teutons are
the aristrocracy of humanity" de-
clares Woltmann. God has called US
to civilize the world" said the Kaiser
in the Bremen speech; I'VE are the
missionaries OF human progress" I'VE
shall conquer everywhere" he said
again; "for there lives a powerful
ally. the good old God in heaven, who
>. has always been on our side"
Thess views-which for twenty
five wears have been dilirontlv Quilt
waited by government officials, army
and navy men, scholars, journalists,
and even preachers clearly betray
the German purpose to gain power at
the expense Of other peoples.
