WHAT GERMAN VICTORY MEANS

WHAT GERMAN VICTORY MEANS
The victory of Germany would
mean the crucifixion Of the highest
dreams Of man, for with the broad
ening Of her political border would
come q NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Of all human hope, and the ultimate
extinction Of every ideal, treasured
in and created by the spirit Of man.
Such an eclipse would be the great
tragedy! Matter, as matter, would
be enthroned, canonized, defied and
the lie given to that band Of holy
men, the Prophets, who said they
saw God "face to face" and the
benefit Of the doubt withdrawn from
those other holy men, the Gods Of
the Intellect, Plato down - Kant,
who throughout the ages, spite Of
everything, have kept an altar light
befort the unknown. And the sweet
dream Of Jesus would become lost!
Freedom Of thought-more prec-
ious than freedom Of action-would
forever fade from the fair earth.
Loyalty would be in US, but no faith;
religion, but our spirit dead. Worse
than all this, we would become like
selves, efficient but with no percep-
ton. Witless manikins all, goose
stepping against a leaden sky. And
our masters would be as cowardly
aggressive to us as to the other sub
ject races, until in our enforced do
cility we, too, would cry out for
our brothers blood.
The domination Of Roman law
narrowed all Roman consciousness,
20 that these conquerors had to ape
Greek culture and initiate or steal
Greek designs. So has German mill
tary law crippled all German con-
sciousnsss, manufacturing, at the
same time, q race Of mental perverts
with minds 30 overstrained that the
tail Of the Fatherland wags at the
professional logic Of its Wilhelm
strasss bureaucrats. German rea-
soning il not European or American
reasoning, making for confusion all
round. Read outside Of Germany, in
any nation where the mental nerves
are responsive to the treatment Of
moral logic, the diplomatic notes Of
Zimmerman and Jagow were unin-
telligible. On the other side Of the
Rhine, addressed to a national con-
scipuepsss made in Germany" they
are taken for natural products and,
strange - it may seem to the rest Of
the thinking world, even invincible in
their logical processes.
The tree Of knowledge Of the Kan
tian circle Of German dreamers blew
its blossoms into the air. The inter-
national concentrations of these
spiritual giants have been substituted
by death-dealing- Krupp-formulaes.
The race has since learned, through
many strange teachers, to yearn
downward. And now, in place Of
spiritual Systems" the German
scholars affinity for the matter has
made him precocious in issues Of
chemistry. Where once he starred,
the black night Of European material
ism, he is now quite satisfied to lead
the world in the production Of ami
line dyes.
No, we cannot stop until we have
forced this blue-eyed race back to
its own boundary. And if it ever
replaces the poison Of its bland baby
stare by the white light Of its once
great soul, we may take it back into
the family Of these nations who are
somewhat concerned with the claims
Of the true and beautiful and the
good, as she now values exclusively
the rewards Of force. But not be-
fore !-Monroe News-Star.

ANIMAL RESOURCES ARCTIC
 RELIEVE MEAT SHORTAGE

lizing the food resources of the Arc tics, the Boston Globe says.
 It appears that the Eskimo, be- licving animals are sent by the great spirit to be killed for food, conceives it to be his duty to kill all he secs. Enormous quantities of most valuable meat are thus wasted-meat which the Northern tribes could, MT. Leden thinks, easily be induced to save and sell to the people of the lower alti- tudes.
 The German army, from the very start of the war, has been fe~ largely on dried meat. One pound of dry meat is equal to five pound of fresh meat, and 1t is, in addi- ton far easier to transport. The Eskimos are especially skillfui in drying their game, which would make a resort to this source of
