tive Of the Lichnowsky statements,
and in harmony with all the known
facts. What Herr Won Jagow says
about the loss of German presuge in
the Morocco case throws light upon
what DR.. Muhlon says of the kaiser's
almost comic insistence that NOBODY
would be able to accuse him OF IN
decision this time. There Is an accu-
mulation Of evidence that the situa'
tion. instead OF developing suddenly
while the kaiser was innocenuy aD-
sent on a yachting trip, had Deen
carefully planned in conference oy
the responsible authorities Of Ger
many and Austria Hungary The time
was Judged TO be ripe to extend the
influence IN the
Balkan states, thus opening up the
way to Asia Minor, where Germany's
ambitions in recent years have Oeen
centered. The assassination OF the
heir to the Austrian throne PROVIDED
the occasion, Russia was not ready
for war, England probably would NOT
come in, and in the words OF the Ger
man foreign secretary, we must
simply risk It.
This is the inner history from Ger
man sources of the beginning OF the
war.which the German government
represents as brought on by England
and inspired by trade Jealousy.

ARE THE BEST HERE?

Some of the most devoted Americans and
useful officials of our government are men OF
German birth or antecedents. Many OF them
most of the more prominent, perhaps-are OF
the Hebraic faith; but the list of citizens with
Teutonic blood in their veins of whom the coun-
trv is proud is long and contains many notable
names Among them are the two kahns,
Schwab. Stettinius, Goethals, Warburg, BAN
berger Frankfurter, Rosenwald, Baruch, Sigel;
and there are many, many more whose Amerl
cans1n is one hundred per cent. Probably few
or none of these are of Prussian forebears, but
sprang from the old Germany of high ideals.
They are not in the same class intellectually or
morally with the Germans whose lack OF de-
velopment makes them the kaiser's unreasoning
tools Those and our pro-Germans here are of
ian inferior breed who accept unquestioningly
the atrocious theory that whatever seems good
for Germany is morally right. No institutions
built on such a negation can endure; and it is
not improbable that the high mark of German
achievement was reached in the century just
past. 1t is exceedingly doubtful if German
PHILOSOPHY, scholarship, science will ever again
be so widely acclaimed as they were in the nine
Iteanth century. The world will no longer seek
her schools. find it so desirable to learn her
Language. look to her for leading in the applied
sciences or waste time over the platitudes of
her university professors, as it did before the
war 1t is quite conceivable that most OF what
is really best of Germany is here in America to-
ldav contributing to make the great republic the
leading nation of earth.

THE FUEL OUTLOOK.

There is reason to believe that Senator
Reeds gloomy predictions concerning the out
put of coal this year supported by facts In
an address at st. Louis, Mr.. Reed said that pro-
duction had been less this year than IN the cor
responding season of 1917. He believes that un-
Hess production and transportation facilities
are increased at once, the fuel shortage will be
serious next winter as it was last. Probably
the trouble is due as much to the constantly In
creasing demand for coal in war industries as
to the decline in production and the car short
age Recently it estimated that SIX hun
dred million tons of soft coal would be suff
Gent to meet all needs the coming year, but
that figure has been increased and still larger
estimates are looked for as result OF study OF
the growing requirements of plants engaged in
war work. Evidently more coal must be mined
and more cars released for the service of the
coal carrying roads if there is to be margin OF
safety in the coal situation next winter.
