him. Work is missing from his GUS
tomary place, and Temptation has
been succeeded by Love as typist.
Vice, who for some time past has been
a close companion of Every Youth,
enters and chides him that of late he
has been cold and distant, insisting
that he should give him more of his
time. Vice becomes interested in
Love and asks Every Youth who she
is. He tells him that she is Love,
their new stenographer, but that he
mas not become well acquainted and
knows little about her. Vice advances
toward her, when she arises and looks
him in the eyes. Apparently cowed,
he sinks from the place. She tries to
drive Care out, but he hides behind
Every Youth. Love, admitting her
failure, leaves for her monday lunch.
AS she departs Care tells Every Youth
that the only way to get rid of him is
for Every Youth to take money from
Somebody's safe, flee the country and
start life anew, where there is no
Care. Every Youth agrees. He is
alone for only moment when Trouble
comes and tells him that she will be
with him all the time if he does not
mend his ways. Every Youth is so
frightened by her hideous appearance
that he leaves the safe and returns to
his desk. Temptation, Conceit, and
Vanity come in as Trouble exits. Vice
and Care enter. Through their united
efforts Every Youth consents to take
money from the safe. Love enters
and bids them all go. Truth, Reason,
Work, and Happiness, Every Youths
true friends, enter, and he heartily
greets them, vowing that forever they
shall be his inseparable friends.

"Germany's Dream
of Domination"
TREITScHKE DID MORE THAN ANY
MAN TO BRING ON THIS WAR
EXCEPT BISMARCK
Compare Patrick Henry and
Frederick the Great

Philadelphia, May l6.-Heinrich Won
Treitschke was described at the "Win
the War for Permanent Peace" con-
vention today as one who, next to
Bismark and Emperor William, had
done most to mould modern German
political thought and bring on the
present war. The speaker was DR..
Richard Heath Dabney of the Uni
versity of Virginia, who studied under
Treitschke in Berlin. DR.. Dabney's
topic was "Germany's Dream of Do
minion."
"Treitschke's whole aim," he said,
was "to Prussianize Germany and to
Germanize the world. l heard him at
the height Of his powers, from the fall
of 1883 to the spring of 1885.
Upon other peoples he poured forth
hate, scorn and contempt, particularly
upon the English and ourselves. we
German idealists,' 1 heard him say,
have time to mediate upon beauty:
The Americans chase the dollar" 1t
might surprise Treitschke, could he
now arise from the tomb and see
American dollars and American men
preparing to chase the Kaiser back to
Berlin.
"Treitschke's theory of the state as
an all-engulfing power has seized hold
of the German mind. The German,
submerging his personal identity in
the state, seeks dominion, through the
state, over others. The American,
intelligently combining with his fell
low-individuals, seeks national free
dom for himself and for them. If
Prussia conquors our armies the Prus-
sian theory will conquer our souls,
and the American conception of the
state, as an organization, deriving it's
moral authority from the collective
consent of INTELLIGENT individuals will
perish f. ~ N.

Synopsis.
PART l. Every Youth first seen in
Somebody's office. He appears for bus
mess five minutes late, and finds Work
and Happiness already there. Work
scores Every Youth on his lax habits
and is berated in return. AS Every
Youth starts on his daily tasks Pleas
ure enters, and tries to entice him
away to ball game. He is about to
consent when Reason comes and pre-
walls upon him to stay and attend to
business. Every Youth turns to his
desk while Reason and Pleasure go.
Care enters and is promptly driven
away by Work, and again Work and
Every Youth enter into an argument,
during which Happiness announces
that in consequence she is leaving.
Work protests, but Every Youth bids
her go. Pleasure appears and while
Works back is turned he entices Ev-
cry Youth away to the ball game.
PART 2. Second scene is in the
same office month later. 1t is in the
late afternoon. Temptation, Conceit,
Vanity, and Work are engaged in their
customary duties. Work complains to
Temptation that she is not doing as
good work as was formerly done by
Happiness. Temptation makes a
scornful retort. Conceit and Vanity
also have their fling. Truth enters,
and tells them plainly what others are
afraid even to hint at. In consequence
Work calls her brave. Truth leaves
and Every Youth enters from an ad-
joining Office. He looks a trife dissi-
gated. Apparently his thoughts are
on other things than business. Five
o'clock comes, and Work dons her
street clothes, and announces that she
has an engagement with Happiness
for the evening. Thereupon Tempta-
ton makes overtures to Every Youth,
telling him that she has an engage
ment with Pleasure, and asks him to
be the third member of this party.
She pictures to him the alluring vision
of a cafe, its bright lights, music,
wine and dainty food. Every Youth
finally consents and is about to leave
the office with her, when Reason en-
tiers. She inquiries where they are
going, and Every Youth tells her he
has an engagement with Temptation
and Pleasure. Reason protests, but is
thrust aside, crushed and helpless.
PART 8. Third scene is a month
later. Every Youth has the appear
ance of man who has gone the pace

be driven away, is sitting close beside

A RIFT, BUT NOT A BREAK

Heretofore the German authorities
have had a swift and effective method
for dealing with indictments. When
ever one Of the gentry has become too
yocferous he has been promptly
seized BY the military power and sent
to the front where he has been given a
nice and deadly post Of duty. So long
as the obstreperous ones were few In
number. this did the business. But
now it seems that the ranks Of the
compliments back home were swcllci
to such proportions that nothing short
Of the threat of the deadly bayonet or
the firing squad suiiced 10 hold them
in check.
The Quteung OF the strikers may
give the government som" satisfaction,
but the uprising cannot help but have
left soms effect on the 5ldiery of
Germany. The e1pericncesof Russia
shows that there is nothing so paralyz-
Ing TO military effort as revolution
airy development back in the country;
but there Is little as yet TO indicate
that conditions In Germany anywhere
approach the situation with which
Kerensky and his Bolsheviki success
sors were able to inaugurate the reign
Of anarchy in Russia. The germ Of
the same situation exists, no doubt;
but it will not be wise for any entente
nation to bank too largely upon its
virilty. Especially, the United States
should not be deceived. 1t is our bust
ness to push our war program as
though there were no other agency for
securing victory.

which brought such obstacles in the
wav at such a critical time. but with
our familiar winter climate that is. al
ways among the possibilities. and pos
sibilities should be considered IN deal
ing with the future. The most serious
defect in our preparedness for the sit
uation that has come upon us In the
last year was the condition OF our
transportation system. The made
quacy OF that system for what 1t was
suddenly called upon to meet was
mainly due to the hamperinS 10 which
1t had been subjected by misguided
legislation and administration Of pub
lie authority. II is unnecessary to re-
call how much development Of Indus

country is dependent upon capable
and well-managed railroad system.

NORWAY'S BAD PLIGHT

The practical refusal of Norway 10

with regard to supplying foodstufts
for Germany as the conditions for sup
plies from this country Tor her own
needs. is not an indication OF enmity
towards US or the Allied cause, but is
more a cry for consideration OF the
predicament Norway is in, truly be-
tween the devil and the deep sea She
