German Psychology

IT HE functioning Of the German mind Is
an interesting study. The why's and tho
wherefores Of many acts Of the Berlin gov
ernment battle understanding. Some Of the
things it does seem utterly puerile as to
be beyond belief. Others seem to have deem
or dark motives behind them, motives which
are to De hidden not only from the outside
world, but from the German people as we'll.
An example OF this has just been fur
nished by the German government 1t be-
came necessary a few days ago, for that
government to reduce the bread ration to
the people Of the empire. This is mani
testify a serious thing. 1t means that the hope
of great quantities Of foodstuffs from the
Ukraine, Roumania and tho Baltic provinces
has been abandoned, and once more the Ger
man nation finds it necessary to live upon
its resources.
From many neutral sources came the in
formation concerning this circumstance; then
all at once the German government wire
lessed the fact all over the world 1t was
paraded in the face OF enemy countries with
the same flourish that great victory would
have been heralded. The messages which
came across the German frontier were al
most boastful in their wording, notwith-
standing the fact that they announced an
economic defeat which must have chilled the
hearts of millions Of German women and
children.
Why did Germany make such a show of
this sort Of thing? There Is no ready an
swer. The chances that it was done in
anticipation Of a leak. 1t could scarcely
have been done to deceive the outside world
for there could be no reason why such de-
ception should be undertaken. But this in
cident is not IN isolated case Of Germanys
peculiar mental processes She has been
guilty of them from the first day Of the war,
She stupidity assumed that Belgium would
not fight, If invaded. She imagined she
could buy British neutrality. and deliberately
undertook to bargain for it. She did not be-
lieve that the French could possibly stop the
onrush Of the German war machine She
never dreamed that England could, or would,
develop into a powerful military nation
She acquired the notion that America was
more interested in tLe dollar than in pro-
tecting her rights. and it never occurred 70

No government Of sane men in the his
tory OF the world has been so often wrong as
has Germany Her miscalcus.ious are end

are mysterious. 1t is wonder that the

the law forbids, and which, If practced by
every man OF means in America would force
starvation conditions in tens of thousands of
less fortunate households
But DR.. Nash, according to the official
statement. makes no denial OF his guilt, al

him, pronounces the charges against her and

Fight On!

(By Joseph L. Slattery)
Fight on! ye sons OF freedom
For soon shall come the hour
When all In Wilhelm's kingdom
Shall feel your strength and power.
Fight on? ye friends OF justice,
And prove with sword and pen:
To tyrant King serve notice
That America fights with men. =
Fight on! We men Of labor,
Builders of ships and guns;
Hit hard and show no favor
TILL the fight is safely won.
Flight on! we Spartan mothers
OF those boys across the sea
If they die. they die for others:
Their reward a crown shall be.
Fight on! We timid women
For now has come the hour
To prove with deeds. like freemep,
That you have strength and power.
Fight on! ye men Of wealth and fame
With the sinews with which you can.
