 "When we crawled in through the trap door for the first time over. the shut in feeling got me" was the way one Tommy expressed first impressions. This was the horror, the sensation of rat-in- trap drowning, of helpless suffocation that the men felt during their first ex- perience. Describing the experience to me another soldier said:

representatives of the ancient Germans, whom Tacitus could portray as mod els for the decadent days of Rome, are to be found only without it's borders. Anglo-Saxon civilization is the heir to the spiritual and moral legacy of tha Germany of olden days-liberty and fair play justice. honor, and purity; Ger man civilization has become Prussan and is no longer German.
 The war has been ascribed to many causes, and most of them have indeed been very real factors, both economically and politically. But one reason for the conflict stands out above all the rest the concept well termed Prussianism. This Prussianism it Is which has given this war it's distinctive Characteristics. Morally the war Is not remarkable be- cause of the racial elements struggling against each other. The world has seen these things before and has become the better through them; in all proba bilityl 1t will see the like again in it's slovf struggle for liberty, dear though thi& be. In the last analysis we fight againsf principle even more monstrous than enslavement, and this is the reason why. more than in any other war that history records, the moral force of righteousness strengthens our arms against the well-nigh overwhelming pow CTS of WickedneSS.

 In the first attack I marched behiud tank across No Mans Land in charge that lasted perhaps five minutes and seemed to take hours, for the advance was made through a steady hail of lead that cut down whole platoons. But when we reached the Roche front a strange thing happened. There was no fight worth mentioning. The tanks stopped over the trenches and blazed away to the right and left with their ,all-round traverse. A few Boches threw their silly bombs at the monsters. The tanks, noses in air, moved slowly on. And then the Gray-backs swarmed out of the shelters and dugouts, literally in hum dreds and held up their hands, whining, Mercy, Kamerad,"

The theft has succeeded well, so well that it has been forgotten by the world; and the Prussian boasts today that not only is he German but that he Is the German. In a sense he is right, for he is but seeking to repeat in the present war the ruthlessness and the mercilessness which he practiced when first the Germans gained the mastery of the Prussians; and the world. honest in the main and wont to take men to be what they claim 10 be, has believed his vaunt.

If Allies Would Only
 Listen to Reason

"Our people will hold out further,
 but the blood of the fallen, the agon-
 ies of the mutilated and the distress
 and sufferings of the peoples will fall
 on the heads of those who insistently
 refuse to listen to the voice of reason
 and humanity
 WITH these high-sounding words
 w the German imperial chancel- Tor concludes his latest address to the Reichstag. If it were not such a tragedy for this sorely afflicted world the pious resignation of the Kaiser and his spokesman would be laugha- ble. The "voice of reason and human ity" is heard only in Germany-that Germany who ravished Belgium and put to the fire and sword nations who opposed her unholy aims to dominate the world.
 The Kaiser's mouthings may be sincere. He is insane enough to be- lieve that he is actually collaborating with mGott" in spreading "kulture' over the earth. Von Hertling apes his master, in tone and matter, but his words are merely another example of Teuton "camouflage." They are in- tended, as previous utterances of the same kind have been intended, to keep up the delusion among the German people that they are quite blameless in this war, that it is only the ob- stinacy and blood-lust of the allies which prevents the consummation of a lasting peace.
 Happily, the allies are not taken in by these spacious phrases. Neither are the neutral nations. It is only the German people who are deceived, and not a few of them are getting their eyes open. Prussians have nothing to do with treason and humanity The ~vhole history of these hybrid upstarts who have imposed their will on the German people, refutes any such claim. Belgium, Armenia, Serbia, Poland, Russia, cry out against this impudent assumption of a virtue which they do not possess, never have possessed and never will, for the nature of the brute is un- changing.

Sentence Was Not
 & Bit Too Severe
* * *

TN. time of peace officers of the N United States army frequently resign and their resignations are ac- cepted by the President without ques- tion. But in time of war or threat ened war it is different.
 Capt. David A. Henke, who had been trying since last May to quit the service, gave as a reason for rendering his resignation that he was of German parentage and did not feel like fighting against his relatives and friends in the fatherland. His atti- tude as expressed in his correspon- dence with the war departmeTs would have been sufficient to cause rhim to be court-martialed and imprisoned; but he was worse than faithless. He was a spy and, conscious of his guilt before his treachery had been discovered, pressed all the more to be released from service.
 When court-martial investigated his case and found that he had con- tributed money to Von Bernstorff's propaganda fund the sentence passed upon dismissal from the army and twenty-five years in prison at hard labor-was not bit too severe. Even had the court imposed the death penalty there would have been no ground for surprise.
 Henke was not a West Pointer, but rose from the ranks, passing through the Leavenworth school with high credit marks. Having served as an officer for many years one might have thought that he would have re- mained true to his allegiance to the end.
 1HdHh hedVeH, tHcn &Oi aeIlke 5 stripe are so rare as to make this offense a startling exception. There are many officers in the army and navy of German descent and thou sands of them among the enlisted men who are absolutely loyal to the
 
 government and are ready to shed the last drop of their blood in de- fense of their country.
 The ignominy of Henke will be much deplored by all patriotic Americans of German blood as his name will be execrated by right minded Americans without German ties.

"rREEDoM" IN GERMANY
From the Pittsburg Post. |

From the Pittsburg Post. 4
 Women on the Northside and in oth- CT sections of Pittsburg who came from Germany, and who cherish the Ameri- can flag as meaning more than is known to those who have never had to live under other colors, can indorse the words of Professor Horne of the University of the City of New York.
 He gives answer to the question. What makes the German so ready to assert. Bah. am freer than you, for all your boasted democracy'?"
 In the first place, the. German is an orderly soul who likes his paths marked out for him. When he sees a road labeled "verboten" he never dreams of using it. In the second place, the German government has made laws for the advantage of its working classes. old age pensions and the like. And it has carefully refrained from re- stricting it's voters on the subjects where they find enjoyment. A German can act toward his wife and children or in a dozen other everyday affairs as an American could not-and would not. So the German says "I am freer than you"
 The ruling class. of course. studious- ly fosters this illusion. For 1t has not merely prepared for war. but 1t has. also, carefully and systematically, but by different methods. prepared the na- tion against revolution.
