The Declaration Committee.

Robert Livingston, Roger Sherman,
John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and
Thomas Jefferson, as chairman, were
appointed by the Continental congress
to draw up the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. Policy demanded that a
Southerner should be chosen to write
the Declaration in order to increase
the probability Of it's unanimous adop-
ton. Logically Jefferson was the man
to carry this work through, for the
mastery style of his pen was well
known. With such coworkers, though,
it cannot be supposed that he alone
was the author Of the resolution, for
the responsibility had been assigned
to all five jointly and the counsel and
advice of. all were necessary. How
ever, the credit of the phraseology is
given to Jefferson, while John Adams
is said to have given close attention to
the revision and the amending Of the
resolution.

the shoulders or the strongest man.
Oppression Of farmers, underpaid
workers, enslavement OF women and
children industrially, shocking housing
conditions. chronic undertaking with
resultant fearful infant mortality,
counterfeit social insurance-are n few
counts in the indictment made by Mr..
Easley against Germany before the
war.
German efficiency goes to appalling
lengths, whether it is breeding German
subjects from the enslaved young
women Of France and Belgium: or In
issuing lying propaganda with which
to break down the morale of the

nothing too awful for the Potsdam

Yet fools in America still mouth,

l
When the wars last battle is done and
the smoke has rolled away,
And the things that were hidden from
sight stand forth in the glare Of day;
When reason returns to It's place, and
you balance accounts again,
The loss and the gain together-pray, how
will 1t seem to you then?
When everywhere ruin on ruin comes SOL
EMMY out to view,
And the nations of all the earth are point
ing the finger at you;
When the vision Of souls Of the slain rises
silent as mist of the sea,
And they ask you the cause Of it all,-oh,
what will your answer be?
When the records no hand can erase, and
the motives all hearts must reveal,
Go up to be judged at last In the Court Of
the Final Appeal,
Where only the truth will survive. and
every falsehood and fraud
Must vanish like chaf In the tlame,-then,
what can you say to God?

COMFORT TO GERMANY
BY ROBERT ADGER BOWEN
Of the VIollantes.

OF the ViotIantes.
It has been cause for amaZement
mingled with sharp regret that, dur
ing the dark days of the German drive
against the British lines In Flanders,
following that upon the British lines
in Picardy, there should have broken
out in press and public alike that mar.
row and warped antipathy toward
England, which If it ever was other
than ungenerous and groundless, sure
ly the debt we of America owe Great
Britain today should have silenced
into Inundated but very sincere 10y
atty. On the contrary. there has been
far too evident disposition to attack
England. Almost, it has seemed, the
disposition in the present instance has
been based on a fear that was akin
to panic. The fighting quality of the
British has been openly belittled, and
this in the face Of splendid resist
ance against all but overwhelming
odds that was being exemplitied even
as these false accusations we're made.
And this, it may be added, in the face
of all that history teaches since the
days of Alfred the Great to the pres
ent years Of this most momentous of
wars.
Such prejudice in us Of Anglo-Saxon
Lineage is at any time unworthy of
our own best traditions. Today it is
contemplate. If the echo of it has
reached Germany-and we may be
sure it hast is music to the ears of
those who, however they may have
looked upon England before this war,
have learned to their cost that they
can prevail against her only by force
of superior numbers and the insensate
power of modern artillery-whose hat
red of her has become tinged by a
deadly fear which is to be measured
by the horrible price Germany is will
ing to pay for the hope of victory.
For those of us in this Anglo-Saxon
country whose heritage is British to
seek to defame England is truly a
graceleSS act. It Smacks not Of supe-
rior merit upon our own part but of
something very different. At least, let
us reserve our caustic criticism Of her
until in this war we have done what
may be compared with what Britain
has so nobly done.
