An Industrial Epic

TIE HOUSE OF CONRAD. BY Elias robcnkin.
With frontispiecc l2mo. PIP. SO. The Frederick
A. Stokes Company.
The story of dreamer with energy
to undertake the practical and physical
achievement Of his dream; of one who
conceived his dream in Europe, because
of the conditions which there pre-
vailed, and thought to realize it in
America because Of the different condi-
tons which here prevailed, without per-
ceiving the fatal flaw in his argument
and who finally was himself conquered
by the new spirit of his adopted land
Such is the theme of this very unusual
and impressive book. AS simple ro-
nance, of adventure and love, it is ad-
mirably interesting. AS an exposition
of European Socialist theories and
American industrialist organizations
and practices it is most informing
More than most other books which deal
with such themes, it is written with
moderation and restraint and with an
air of veracity. The spirit of propa-
gandism is absent, unless it be the
propaganda Of America, which is al
ways welcome. From first to last it is
easy, natural, and instinct with truth.

Yet they are made to be such, and the

THE WEEK IN WAR.

We are approaching the end of the
most eventful week of the entire war.
After many weary weeks of desperate
fighting, in which victory has follow
ed victory in unbroken succession,
evidences are appearing that the
spirit of the enemy is breaking.
Pressed to the last ditch Bulgaria
cries out for peace. 1t is the break
ing of the first link in the chain that
has so long held together the four
criminal nations of central Europe.
Bulgaria has accepted terms of un-
conditional surrender, and her arms
and her wheat fields will no longer
support the palsying arm of the Hun.
The surrender of Bulgaria, lying as
it does in the pathway between Turk
ey and Germany, will force Turkey to
make terms with the Allies. With
Bulgaria and Turkey out of the way
the Allies will be able to attack
Austria with a powerful army on its
eastern front. Austria has with much
difficulty been held in the war, and
it is doubtful if her people will stand
the pressure of great allied army at
her back door. Should Austria desert,
hunder such pressure, her German
ally, the end of the war would be near.
We would not encourage a too hope
full optomism. There are many ifs in
the conditions we are mentioning.
The only certain fact is that Bulga-
ria is definitely out of the war, and
other events referred to are only
highly probable consequences of Bull
garia's withdrawal.
On the western front conditions
are more favorable for the Allies than
at any former period of the war.
Every day is a day of victory. The
Hindenburg line has been smashed at
many vital points. The stronghold of
ST. Quentin has at last fallen, and the
march to Berlin continues from day
to day. Only yesterday the entire Ger
man cabinet resigned and these be
troubled times in the tossed and torn
German empire. The Huns national
spirit is breaking under the terrific
strain. and it seems a fair promise
that the year of the double nine will
see the dominion of peace again re-
stored to the peoples of the earth.
But glorious as the news is let us not
relax our efforts. The end is not yet.
Duty demands that no sacrifice be
spared that will hasten the end. The
German war machine is still strong
and powerful and may weather the
storm of blood and death for many
WEARY days to come. But be of good
cheer. The dawn of the peace day is
breaking in the east, and the thunder
of our artillery is giving the Hun a
rude awakening from his long and
pleasing dream of military DONNA
ltion of the earth.

GERMANS ADMIT
DREAM IS over
I'VE Must Fight For Our
Existence Says
Hun Press.

Amsterdam, Sept. 2S-Germany
is beginning to realize that it is a
nation of scoundrels.
Press comment, always the best
key to the public opinion of a ma
ton, is veering around to the point
where it is confessing Germanys
faults. Frankly the German papers
are beginning to admit that they
must abandon the idea that their
armies are fighting for conquest, and
realize that what they are fighting
for is bare existence.
ut is a matter of damnable I'M
portance, says the Cologne Gazette,
always regarded as a semi-officiaI
journal, whether we are or are not
regarded turnout the world as ma
tion of blackguards. Indeed we are
being so regarded"
Charge Misrepresentation.
The people of the Fatherland are
slowly awakening to the fact that the
war has been misrepresented to them
The Kaiser himself has been forced to
warn his soldiers of the American
troops.
How completely disillusioned the
German people have been is made
clear by the following comment by
the Munich Post:
Let us say, it openly and fearlessly
Germany situation for the last
two years at least has been falsely
and lyingly misrepresented by many
of our newspapers and in the public
utterances of majority of our states
men.
For the last four years we have
been assured again and again that
only five minutes separated us from
the complete and crushing overthrow
of our enemies. Yet at this moment
Germany is fighting for her very life.
Must Decide Fate.
"This is the kernel of the whole
question. The fate of our people lies
in their own hands to decide. 1t goes
without saying that before the people
can clearly see their way to their own
salvation, every annexationist phan-
tom must be dispelled.
1--WE are not fighting for Flanders
and for the Baltic provinces, but for
our bare existence. We are fighting
for a peace that will yield us nothing
and deprive us Of nothing.
"If we can secure such peace as
that in the teeth of so formidable a
superiority in enemy numbers, we
shall have achieved a fame far great
er than any triumph of arms could
give us.
Let that satisfy u.s."

THE JUNIOR RED CROSS.

Mrs. John b. Wilson. who has so
efficiently managed the Junior Red
Cross organization here, has been
appointed chairman of that organiza-
ton for the entire county.
Mrs. Wilson will undertake to Or
ganize the entire county through the
schools, and with this end in view
asks every teacher in the county to
take an interest i'm the work. 1t is her
plan to have the teachers organize
their schools into Red Cross Aux
iliaries, with the teacher in charge.
This is a useful work. both to our
soldiers and the children. The
children can make and contribute
many useful articles for our soldier
boys, and at the same time receive
useful and practical training. Mrs.
Wilson asks every teacher in the
county to get in communication with
her either by letter or telephone, and
she will take great pleasure in out
lining the work for them.
A special monthly schedule of
activities for the Junior Red Cross
work will provide some definite un-
dertaking for each month. One hun
dred percent of the schools and one
hundred per cent of each school is the
lend contemplated. Every teacher in
the county should lend at once his
hearty cooperation to this work.
