STUDYING OUR ENEMIES

Why do the Germans send their
Zeppellins and aeroplanes to drop
bombs on London? Why do they at
tack Paris with their guns of prodig-
ious range? Why do they issue state
ments for publication in enemy coun-
tries that they know every we'll inform
ed reader will instantly reject as false
Why do they charge their enemies
with hypocracy in asserting that their
aims are not power and commercial
supremacy? How shall we explain
the repetition of their "peace offers,
when they cannot discover among their
enemies any indication Of exhaustion,
or encouragement, or willingness to
accept a German made peace, or faith
in the binding force of German trea-
ty?
The answer is to be found, if it can
be found at all, in the German char
acter as it has been moulded by the
government. Take first the attacks
on London and Paris. They are cost
ly and futile. The purpose, openly
announced, is to terrify the English
and French civilians, who are unarm-
ed and defenseless, and to cause them
to demand pease on any terms. From
the very beginning the raids have had
and are sill having, exactly the OPP
posite effect. They make the people
of Great Britain and France more de-
termined than ever to defeat power
that resorts to such means. But the
mystery is cleared up, partly at least,
when we discover that as soon as the
Germans get taste Of their own medi-
cine they begin to whine, Knowing
what would most terrify their own peo-
pie and lead to clamor for peace they
naturally supposed that it would be an
effective weapon against others. Thank
God, those others are made of differ
ent stuff.

cited Of lies disseminated in this coun-

try for the purpose of German propa-
ganda. They did little harm because
it was so easy to refute them. But
the same statements were accepted in
Germany as true, for the people there
have been taught to believe what they
are told. Even the professors and
the clergy swallow the lies that are
fed to them by the state.
We-Americans, Englishmen, all
the rest Of us-are hypocrites, they
say. Why? Because Americans and
Englishmen must be like Germans. We
are in this war to grab whatever we
can lay our hands upon, and there
fore, you must be, too. You profess
what you call high ideals. Bosh!
Our own aim is the highest; the glory
of the state. Your aim is the same,
but you are trying to deceive the world
by your hypocritical cant about de-
mocracy."
There remains their apparent as
constituent when taeir enemies refuse
to admit that they are whipped and re-
fuse to listen to their peace offers.
They know that we know that they
have not won the victory that they ex-
pected and promised. They can dis
cover no sign of physical, financial or
moral weakening ON the part of their
foes. Why, then, always when they
have just failed to attain some great
military victory, do they offer peace
on their own terms and praise their
magnanimity in doing it? The an
swer is obvious: they would like to
quit if they dared do SO. They have
got the bear by the tail, and they are
yelling for someone to help them let
go.--Ex.

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY

This war is to be won, not by one
man or one thousand men or one mil
lion men, or one million people. 1t is
to be won by the united efforts of the
individuals of many nations.
Every American citizen has an in
dividual duty to perform, an individual
share of the responsibility. The more
powerful and effective the American
forces are the shorter will be the war,
and the shorter the war the fewer lives
lost. The greater the number of the
American soldiers who will return
home victorious.
Every American who economies in
consumption of material. who increas-
es production, who saves and lends saw
ings to the government, does some
thing to help win the war.

GREATEST OF VENTURES.

The Government of the United
States is now engaged in the great
est of all business undertakings.
There has never before been any
thing like IT, II Is Il venture that
may well cause anxiety and fear on
the part Of those who are responsible.
There is always possibility OF friction
in the wheels of the machinery.
There Is danger i'm extravaganza,
waste. neglect. hurtful delays. un-
necessary antagonisms between de-
partments or individuals, wrongful
interfcrences with each other or with
private management. The wonder is
that irretrievablc blunders Of great
magnitude have not already been
made. II seems apparent that such
an organization and system as have
been suggested are being perfected
The people of this country are con-
iidently expecting it and would not
be satisfied with less.
Presumably those in authority are
taking counsel OF the ablest and most
experienced men in order 10 reach
decision and determine action. Ad-
vice from the Wisest and most eX'
perienced, whather adopted or re-
jccted, is Of the highest importance
in any great organization.
Conservation and proper appllca'
ton OF our resources. with dlscrim'
ination and wisdom, are of immediate
concern. For instance, it would be
grave error to deprive our citizens
of enough fuel TO keep them alive. oil

We are appalled,, though we are
not stunned, by these conditions. Our
determination is unshaken: our teeth
are set. We have been forced into
the war and We are fighting in self

it is a combat between Prussianism

II stares us in the face. We have been
slow and stupid, or at least indiffer-

dangers which threaten us. and in

TO PROTECT INDUSTRY.

First of all they will have construc-
tive laws for the protection of indus
try; for the fostering and promotion
Of legitimate enterprise; for freedom
in the application of brains and in
the use of capital to the full extent
necessary. Everything requisite to
victory in the international contest
for financial and industrial position
will be permitted by legislation.
And there will be plenty of ships,
with ample power and speed, well
manned and supplied. With liberal
rules and regulations they will be
prepared to transport at lowest rates.
and ready to engage in the export
and import business, which is desir-
able and profitable. There will be
organization, system, intelligence,
and dogged persistence, stores, offices
and warehouses located at the best
points throughout the world, all de-
voted to the most important branch of
a nations progress and prosperity.
No stone is now or will hereafter be
left unturned to the neglect of the
largest measures of success
The necessities of the war, while it
continues. will not be minimized NOR
neglected; they are and will be of
principal Importance: but they do
not hide the one most consequential
question of providing food and raj

GERMAN INTRIGUE.

In addition to what the enemy has
constructed and will improve for

built up a system of intrigue, es-
pionage, poisoning of the human
mind, the distribution and aBplica-
ton or use of germs of disease and
physical impairment. There has
been agitation tendinr to discredit
and defy the law and to create trou-
bic between employer and employe,
and between different classes. such
as the world has never before wit
messed; and with all this goes the
most malignant and unconscionable
effort to destroy property and life by
fire or poison or other means and to
impede and interrupt the wheels of
industry. This is increasing and will
continue to increase. And the Prus-
slams have perfected a centralized,
comprehensive, powerful business or
ganization which, considering its
size and ramifications, has never be-
fore been approached. Their pro-

THE FUTURE
DEPENDS ON
DECISIONS
REACHEDNOW

In the midst of the most bitter and
destructive of all wars, il is appro-
pirate that the leading business men
Of our country turn attention from
the absorbing and overwhelming
cares of their usual daily life in
order to permit careful and sober
survey of questions which affect not
only the progres but the very exist
ence of national and individual life;
for the result Of the pending conflict
will be controlled by economic con-
ditions. 1t is a time for plain and
frank expression of opinion; not with
a selfish faultfinding spirit. but with
the desire to aid in bringing about
wise action.
In what shall be said at this time
there is involved no intention 10 un-
fayorably criticise OF TO condemn
anything that has been done or omit
ted Complaints or objections. even
though there may be cause, are not
helpful. Whether our legislators or
administrators were dilatory in max
ing preparation for war is not of
immediate consequence. Time never
returns simply to furnish a second
opportunity.
Nor is there room today for dis
cussion of reasons for the precipita-
ton OF the war or for inquiry as to
the Individual or nation responsible.
Indeed, II would be useless in this
presence, as you have already reach
ed conclusions and perhaps decided
