PRUSSIAN KULTUR AND BLOODY
SAVAGERY.

Prussian Kultur is below morality
reason and science. It is the en-
thronement of savage hate aided by
science. The extracts copied. below
are from the pen of the German poet,
Heinrich VierOrdt. The text appears
in "Out of their mouths, published
by Appleton in 1917. Here are the po-
cts of hate:
20 Germany hate! Salvation Will come
of thy wrath.
Beat in their skulls with rifle-butts
Let your clenched fist enforce the
judgment of God
Afterwards thou wilt stand erect on
the ruins of the world,
Healed forever of thine ancient mad
ness.
'tOr this, from the Hymn to the Ger
man sword:
I have Slaughtered the, old and the sor-
rowful
I have struck off the breasts of women;
And 1 have run through the body OF
children
VINO gaZed up at me tne eyes ~
wounded lion.
"These are no parodies. They are
real poems of the soul, a soul pervert-
ed, and as black as hell ITSELF They
speak not the philosophy of the mo-
ment, the product of a state produced
by war; but of philosophy which runs
through Prussian history from the
beginning even to the end, which we
hope is well-nigh here"

OF course it would not occur to a
German even when he is in retreat
that he might receive better terms
and be more esteemed in the world of
the future, If he would omit his usual
atrocities before giving up the stolen
lands. What god does it do him to
burn the cottage of some poor peasant
of France? What harm has that peas

HUT CIRCUIT PER-
 FORMERS KEEP
 BUSY AND ENJOY IT

Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 1.-The hut circuit of theatrical performances in the American army in France is per- haps the longest and largest in the world. Thomas Wood Stevens, head of the Department of Dramatic Arts at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, who has just returned from France where he was associated in the pro. duction of soldier talent shows, esti- mates that single company playing every night to different soldiers, would require eleven years to go through the American army in France.
 "The general scheme of diversion for our men ill France" said MT. Stevens is in three general divisions. There is the "Over There Theatre League, represented in New York 'by George M. Cohan, Winthrop Ames and James Forbes; the French concert companies managed by Walter John son; and the Soldier Talent Shows under the direction of Joseph Linden Smith. MT Stevens went to France primarily to help MT. Smith with the Soldier Talent Shows, together they selected 25 local directors for these performances with the various Young Mems Christian Association divisional headquarters. Now E. C. Cater, chief secretary of the Y. M. c. A. in France has asked for more directors and the Carnegie Institute has announced that as soon as the influenza quarantine is lifted it will begin to train 9 addi- tional men and women Y. M. C. A. workers for this work
 Difficulty in transporting proper ties and costumes is one of the hard est problems in improvising shows for the soldiers, according to Mir. Stevens. They had to be carried in small valis- es, instead of drays, piled high with trunks and the directors had to make their shows fit on the small stages of the "Y" huts insteod of the big thea tre staes.
 "One of my jobs has been to discov- l CT or write plays for use where nc costumes or props, even citizens clothes can be had; that is to say soldier plays, not war plays" said MT. Stevens. My first effort in this direction called Three Wishes has I been given in dozen camps at pres ent, but We want other plays just as we need many more directors. The twenty-five we have at work are far too few.
 One of the main performances given for the American soldiers was that 0 a festival play presenting the main features of the life of Joan of Arc written by Mir. Stevens. It was pres. ented at Domreny, the home of oJan three days after the great American drive on the St. Mihiel salient and dur ing it's performance Liberty motor! on the way to the front were purrins over the heads of the audience. Mis-
 Marie Young played the part of oJal but the performance as whole dit not depend upon the professional act ors but upon numerous soldiers play CTS who had been rehearsed for three weeks. Twenty-Five hundred soldiers attended the performance although none of them are stationed at Dom reny.

 What, back so soon?" l exclaimed. Detailed for special duty?''
 "Yes, back" he ansewerd; ond it struck me that his voice was slow and older, as though the weeks of his absence had been years. "Back-but not for special duty. There-there is another reason.'

 "We were cold, and you let the hut fires die: We were lonesome, and the movies stopped because there were no funds to carry On."
 Will that be their message of theil eyes to us?
 Or shall we stand confidently ir their presence, greeting them as men who have nothing to repent
 Men who in their absence gave freely of wealth and time, that there mgiht be warmth and cheer and com fort over there?

decidedly monosyllabic. But he could

Hazel found herself at Cariboo Mead

pointed out the place-an unnecessary
