Berlin's System.

Thenceforward, for nearly half n
century. Prussia went on in peace to
develop her military system. She
organized her system Of education so
that this should he part OF the mill
tary. and in this way every Irussian
on reaching manhood had been taught
absolute loyalty to the sovereign and
the most rigid military obedience. The
deepest instinct in the Prussian ma
ture-lust OF war-was fostercd hy
every kind of teaching; and gradual
ly the idea spread that, just as the
Hohenzollern had acquired lands and
wealth by fighting in the old days. so
successful war would now have n
similar result.
In 1852 Count Bismarck became
the chief minister of the Prussian
king. He believed thoroughly in the
doctrine that Might makes Right. so
that If a nation succeeds in piratical
crimes, nobody can call II to account.

made up the German confederation.
Prussia and Austria were rivals, Aus

slaught, down to the recent drive on
tho west front, where fourteen British
divisions were pittcd against forty
two German divisions, the German
general staff has always taken care to
have superior force on their side be-
fore going into fight. This Is obvious
ly n cardinal rule in warfare: but the
results have proved that the superior
German numbers cannot always or
often defeat the Allies and that the in
dividual German soldier. for all his

better fighter than his antagonists.

GROWTH OF RED CROSS.
From the Outlook.

The latest returns from the American Red Cross drive of last
Christmas indicates a stupendous total Red Cross membership. The
figures given in the "Red Cross Bulletin are 2~3,475,OOO. They seem
almost incredible. Taking the country population as now ~106,693,000,
this means about % per cent.
Reports from the territorial, insular, and foreign possessions of
unprecedentedy unfavorable weather conditions which prevailed
throughout the drive have continued, and even at this late date returns
from all the outlying chapters have not yet been received.
Meanwhile the Red Cross work continually increases not only in
extent but also in picturesque features. For instance, t is contributing
the necessary articles to supply kitchens and material for serving the
population of the Italian village of Spreziano. This village is on the
Pave river, and is, of course, in the midst of the danger zone. The
inhabitants of Sprezano are mainly engaged in the manufacture of
and their industry to the country by transferring them elsewhereq
Accordingly the Italian government decided to move the village popu-
lation intact to another location. 1t chose a suburb of Leghorn, quite
across Italy, and will transport thither all the SpreIano workmen,
with their families, machines, and tools. 1t is a satisfaction to feel
that our Red Cross is to be represented in the undertaking.
In France, aside from what the American Red Cross is doing for
American soldiers there, It is gIving-Or selling where it can-meals at
its eanteens to about 100000 French soldiers every month. Major
that in the old days the French soldier on leave would come to the
junction points where he changed to take his train for home and some

and wet; after sleeping in the open they got little food and that at an
exorbitant price; the result of all was that they arrived home dis
couraged and possibly diseased. On their return they were buer
and still more discouraged.
In cooperation with the French government, which has borne
most of the expense, the American Red Cross has opened a series Of
canteens where there men are given comfortable quarters where they
can eat we'll, and sit about and sleep well too. The barracks are
clothes are put through a process and the vermin killed. Moreover.
amusement is provided. when these fellows arrived at our canteens

state of mind from that in which they left the trenches.

History of the Ukraine.
From the Christian Science Monitor.

n Science Monitor.
blow through the invasion of the Tartars
In the 18th century, causing the center Of
gravity to shift to Halich and Vladimir,
the capitals of Galicia and Volhynia,
which kept their independence for another
100 years, but succumbed to the princes Of
Lithuania, and finally became incorpor-
ated with Polish Lithuania- Much Of the
eastern region Of the ancient Ukraine Is
now comprised in the territory Of the Don
Cossacks. The ruthlessness of the Tartar
invaders reduced this section to a military
state, and out Of it finally evolved a Cos
sack republic. Later the Hetmans Of the
Cossacks were made rulers of the rest Of
the Ukraine, but In the 18th century the
pressure of Poland became so great that
the ruling Hetman applied to the Russian
car for protection. The result was 4
treaty for joining the Ukraine to the Mus
covite state. The arrangement called for
a personal union and the full autonomy
Of the Ukrainian state. But the treaty
proved to be the beginning Of the end. The
czars began to ride ~roughshod over the
rights and liberties Of their new subjects,
until Peter the Great put an end to all
independence by abolishing the laws and
the institutions of the country. which
he assimilated to the empire. The Ian
guage was placed under a ban as a
local dialect, and the people were re-
duced ethnographically, to the position Of
q subordinate branch Of the Russian peo-
pie. The name Ukraine became lost after
the struggles OF Mazeppa, the deeds and
fate of whom are preserved in romance,
and today the Russians know the Uk-
~rainians as the Little Russians" while
the Austrians, refer to them as the RUS
sanjacks," or Ruthenians.
But the memory of their lost liberties
has survived. Their capital city, Kieff, Is
still a cultural center with a remarkable
academy, Libraries, and a host of savants.
The Ukranians as a fact are a highly
gifted people, though of a slow and phleg-
matte disposition. This characteristic
makes for q profound depth of feeling. It
Is claimed for them that they are not less
musical than the Italians, and nave con-
tributed the best music to Russia.

The Awakening Giant.
George PattuIlo, in the Saturday Evening Post.

Uncle Sans men are coming better every day. Perhaps it's
because they've had a chance to train-anyhow, the new regiments
arriving look 100 per cent ahead of our first units. We've got conin-
gents over here now from every state in the union, and mark my
words: Wen dub and flivver, veil make colossal blunders, We'll
probably have severe setbacks, but before this business is wound up
the American army will be the finest army ever gathered for war. No
matter what may happen in Europe during the next two years, one
fact stands out: The United States can't lose, and it will be the
greatest military power on earth by 1920. We were a peace loving
'people, slow to anger; but Bombast Bill sure started something! 1
hope that the military fever won't run away with us.
There's no other army whose average caiber of men compares
with ours. I know this sounds like cheap talk and making the eagle
scream; nevertheless, it's so. Put them alongside other troops on the
recruitment of Europe and you'll see in half a minute that their average
physique is superior to any, and their average of intelligence and
infinitely higher. The only other considerations are
discipline and quits. They'll soon acquire discipline, and as for the
Iother-well, send them against Henie and watch what happens.

From the Christia
For more than a century nationalist agi-
!ations have profoundly troubled European
peoples. A good nan nations have sue
:essfully effected political changes within
their borders, either by separation, ag-
ylomeration, or emancipation. During the
great war, however, another noticeable
method has been the pursuit Of autonomy
within the framework of a larger state.
Out Of all the medley Of confusing claims
sor national expression, none Is more inn
portant or significant than the demand
u the UkrainianS for autonomy and their
prompt recognition, by Petrograd, as a re-
public. In q night, as 1t were, another
nation has leaped into existence, a nation
little known outside Of Russia, because of
It's forced political submergence in the
newer appellation of Little Russia" Yet
It's territory was once as distinct and as
extensive as Poland before the division.
indeed, sections of eastern Poland, such
as the present Volhynia and Galicia, were
once an integral part Of the Ukraine. The
world heard the cry Of Poland, but the
Ckranian cause remained one of the many
tragedies of race which seem doomed to

Sinct from the Russians proper, have long
striven for self expression.
The boundaries Of the present Ukraine
lie to the north Of the Black sea. Roughly
traced, the country once included the
southern part of the European plains, or
steppes, extending from the Carpathians
to the Caucasus. and from the Black sea
and the Danube delta to the forests of
the Pollssje, at the middle course Of the
the Dneiper river. The capital city was
Kieff. Within this boundary lie the i'm

Daniel Willard, president of the Bal.
timore and Ohio railroad, has resigned
IS chairman of the war industries board.
His resignation will be accepted as soon
as successor is found.
In offering his resignation Mr.. Will
lard gave as his reason that the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad required his en-
tire attention. 1t was stated his resig-
nation was not brought about by any
apparent conflict between the war In
dustries board and the Reorganization
of the War Department.
Road Needs Services.
Mr.. willard's friends here said today
he had had the step under considera-
ton some time. He was confronteds
they said, with the alternative Of re-
more and Ohio If he remained as chair
man of the war industries board. It
was said the situation was presented
in this way to President Wilson, and
it was decided the importance of the
Baltimore and Ohio in war work was
sufficient to demand Mr.. Wizards en-
tire attention.
Mr.. Willard's letter of resignation
was presented at the White House last
night John D. Ryan of New York has
been mentioned as the possible suc-
cessor.
Several others have been mentioned.
but no definite selection yet has been
made. 1t is believed some member of
the board who is familiar with the work
already done and that planned for the
future would be named. Bernard NJ. Ba-
ruch of the board, who has been in
charge of raw materials. minerals and
metals. has been suggested for the
place. Robert S. Brookings of st. Louis.
another members of the board. and a .
member of the allied purchasing COM
mission, also has been mentioned.
The appointment of successor lies
with President Wilson. who will make
it probably with the advice of the
Council of National Defense, composed
of the Secretaries of War. Navy, In
terror, Agriculture, Commerce and La
Dor, under which the war industries
board serves.
Director Clifford Suggested.
Director Clifford of the Council OF
National Defense is the man. most
prominently mentioned to succeed Mr..
Willard as chairman of the war in
dustries board. 1t is understood that
several officials pressing for the war
supply reorganization are suggesting
his appointment.
