thing to see the women fall in a dead

externally, the body heat would vapor-

inhaled all night long, carry the medi-

Today this vapor treatment. Wick S
VapoRub, is almost universally used
throughout the South in preference to

the position taken by Lensch Is not esq

tion Of Socialists TO recognize 1.-The tBe-
mendous historical mission Of Ger
many'-that Is, to dominate the world
AS due TO a traditional sense Of in
feriority. In other words, they have
not yet digested the doctrine Of the su-
perman. Yet with few exceptions they
have supported the aims Of the junkers.
The idea put forth by Lensch that Ger

source Of this miscOnceptiOn. Germany
has a highly paternalistic government.

more precise to say that the German
theory Of the state is anti-individualis-

much legislation which is in effect so

There is another point: Whether So
cialist or iunker, the German is still
German. He has a full sense Of the
solidarity Of the German people, of their
moral and intellectual superiority to
other peoples and Of their mission to
rule all other peoples. He has been
completely obsessed by the teachings
OF half a century. There have been
manifestations Of sharp dissent from the
policy Of the government at various
times during the war; but whenever
German arms or German intrigues have
won a triumph we have seen an in
