h. In the house Chairman Dent Of
the military committee was unable to
obtain unanimous consent to limit
debate: He gave notice that he pro-
posed to keep the house in continuous
session, beginning tomorrow, until
the bill was passed.
Chairman Chamberlain opened the
discussion on the senate floor with a
statement that while many protests
against the new draft ages had been
received, military necessity required
that the age limits be both raised and
lowered. ~
Senator Chamberlain made a Wig
orous argument for the work or fight
amendment, declaring men at home
should work or join the army since
the soldiers have to fight for $50 a
month and get shot if they disobey
orders.

Germany's Losses
(From Providence Journal)

Paris newspapers say that Germany
has lost 10000 0 men since the war
began. OF these 100000 have been
killed. .
There is no way at present Of test
ing the accuracy of these figures. But
Germany has certainly been called
upon for tremendous numerical sacri-
fee. 1t will take generations for her
to recover from it.
But this is nit all. She has lost
much besides men. She a deprived
herself OF, her old share in the worlds
commerce. She is, despite the col
lapse of Russia, bottled up in Central
Europe. Her financial system is in a
condition of chaos. Her navy is help
less at Kiel and Wilhelmshaven. Her
merchant. ships are sunk, or informed,
or locked up in her W ports or serv-
ing her enemies. Her railways are dis
ever her crafty plans for organizing
Russia for her selfish benefit have
gone wrong.
h dreamed of dominating the
world in politics and business alike,
but she will be fortunate if after the
war she is still among the f1rst-rank
nations in either respect. Great hosts
of mon and women in the countries
whose righteous indignation has been
stir ed up against her have pledged
themselves never again to deal with
her manufacturers and merchants.
Her greedy trade aspirations are
bhghted as her political ambitions are
also.
Her propaganda, intended as it was
to create a pro-German sentiment
throughout Che world, has had the OPP
|posite effect. Everywhere she is dis
trusted and hated Here in the United
States, which She looked upon as the
fatrest field of all for her campaign
of Germanization, we are roofing out
everything that bears the Hohenzol-'
lern mark. The American Berlins are
changing their name. Bismarck. the
capital of North Dakota, is talking Of
choosing a non-German designation.
Galeeburg, Illinois has added an III
SO ! that it will no longer suggest a
Teutonic origin. The German langu-
Eage is disappearing from our schools
and colleges. German phrases are
dropping out OF personal conversation,
the daily p~resS<and. periodical litera-
ture. There waslsuch a revolt
against any nation on the face of the
earth.
Germany has lost her reputation.
having sacrificed her character. There
are still moral values in the world;
the Ten Commandments will not
bulge for her and she Is beginning to
realize that she Is an International out
cast. Was there ever an equal tragedy
in human history? Germany strove to
gain h whole world and what has Il
prof1ted her? She has failed in the
attempt-and she has lost her own
soul.
