very things that the finance committee
will come face to face with tonight
as they assemble to consider of their
report upon this important affair.
We hold no brief for the city of

that the city supply this current, and

Translating from Caesars fourth

author describing the German char
acter IS follows: These people believe
that n is the greatest honor for

Their present concept of God is not
one fraction Of an inch removed from,
the idea they carried in the days Of
Caesar. Trietsche was one OF the
most distinguished lecturers In the
University Of Berlin. His writings are
as well received in Germany as those

}act of Cod That was what Caesar
said about them nearly 1000 years
ago, and that is what Trletsche says
about them today.
We need no modern authority to tell
of their religion Of devastation. The
civilized world knows with what re-
gard they hold the rights OF nsighbor-
ing states and the fact recorded by
julius Caesar in the early ages with
regard to the German attitude to-
ward the nations that lie around their
borders is truly exemplifed today.

never reached above that plane. The
ideals of the state are material. and
the ideals of the Individual German
are never higher.
What an awful commentary these
facts afford in reviewing the philoso-
ply of the present war as related
to the empire of the kaiser. With
