In the third place, Germany believed that at the
first hint Of war the colonies would revolt, severins them
selves from the empire, and setting up separate govern
ments Of their own. Canada, Australia, New Zealand,
South Africa and India, 1t was confidently believed, would
take this course. The assumption on the part of Ger
many was natural, for Germany has never held a colony
except by force. and any other idea was foreign to the
German method of thought.
The passing months have demonstrated how false
were all these German ideas. The British government
would make no bargain with Germany which would per-
nit her to raid other nations with impunity. Without
counting the cost, and without thought that any section
of the empire would play the laggard, Britain went to
war. And she went to war whole heartedly and unre-
servedly. The little first hundred thousand" which aid
ed in saving Paris during those early fateful days. had
grown into an army of five millions, and the Germans
have had many a taste Of the mettle Of those men. In.
stead Of taking advantage of the pre-occupatlon Of the
central government and cutting loose from the empire,

KNITTING THE EMPIRE TOGETHER

German inability to understand other peoples has
mover been shown more strikingly than. in the concep-
tons entertained by the German ruling clique Of the atti-
tude Of Great Britain and the outlying sections Of the Brit
ish empire with reference to the war.
In the first place, German officialdom did not believe
that Great Britain would enter the war under anv cir
cunstances. Berlin relied on Britain being Indifferent
to the fate Of the little nations Of Europe, an indifference.
which, Of course Berlin has always felt save az the fate
Of the little nations affected directly the junker interest.

HOW WE HAVE CHANGED

In his address at Saratoga the other day, Colonel
Roosevelt enumerated some of the things which must be
made possible by the force of arms of the Allies, and
which must be carried into effect. He said:
Belgium must be re-instated and Reimbursed.
France receive Alsace, Turkey driven from Europe.
Italian Austria must so to Italy, and Rumanian Hun
gary to Rumania, and Armenia must be free, the
Jews given Palestine and the Syrian Christians be
protected, with the Poles and other slav races re-
leased from the menace of the German sword.
Roosevelt was discussing especially the things which
must be accomplished with the aid of the United States,
things to which America is committed. There are few
any of these propositions as laid down. and few who will
not agree with the speaker that it is the plain and simple
duty Of the United States to bring every ounce of its
strength to bear to make certain that these things shall be
accomplished.
What a change has come about in our way of think
ing. Only yesterday one had but to mention occurrences
just beyond gunshot from our own shore line to be met
with the solemn perversion Of washington's warning
against entangling alliances with foreign nations, and with
exhortations to stay at home and mind our own business.
and let the world wag.
Our changed attitude did not come about all at once.
1t has been a progressive growth. Within the year before
our entrance into the war, while there was much Ameri-
can indignation at the outrases inflicted on the smaller
nations and the defenceless people of Europe, very many
Of our people were reluctant to go further than to express
sympathy with the oppressed. When we went to war the
thought was uppermost in many minds that we were
fighting distinctly for the defense of American rights, and
that the violation Of the rights Of other people did not
concern US But today we stand upon a different plane.
We on this side Of the Atlantic are as definitely commit
ted to the program laid down by Roosevelt as are any
Of the entente powers Of Europe. and we are as ready as
they to shed our blood and spend our treasure for the
carrying out Of that program. We have not changed in
the sense that we wish to interfere In the domestic affairs
of our neighbours; but we have changed marvelously in
that we have reached the conception that justice and free
dom are the concern Of all humanity. and that we, as well
as other nations, are concerned with the establishment Of
justice and freedom throughout the world.

influence in Fastening the more complete unificatson Of
the empire. which. in all probability, would have come in
any event, but which is now certain to come speedily.
The British premier just the other day make statements
which must be regarded as important and significant. He
pointed out that war was declared without consultation
with the outlying dominions,' because time was pressing.
The government acted, therefore, and trusted to the colo
nies to sustain it. How splendidly that WAS done is now
history. But, said the premier, the dominions having
been drawn into the war without being consulted, 1t is
all the more imperative that they be consulted as to the
terms Of peace. and for that reason he declared there
must be an imperial council in which all parts Of the en-
pire should be represented. which should aid in shaping
the conditions on which peace should be made. Still fur
ther, he said, the home government must never again be
obliged to make a decision alone. The premier expects,
and is prepared to support, the creation of an imperial
body which shall act in all matters relating to the general
government Of the empire, and especially with reference
to foreign affairs. That this step will be taken admits OF
no doubt, and this organic unification, Of the empire.
which would doubtless have been brought about at some
time. will be effected in the very near future by the very
war which Germany fondly and foolishly hoped would re-
suit in the disruption Of the British empire If, indeed, its
central government dared to enter the war at all.

MODERN MIRACLES
(By Abbie Farwell Brown Of The

While there's life there's hope!
Never vas this saying so true as

The achievements Of modern surg.

Once upon a time the disabled

be an asset, IL trained to the limit Of
its power. Though he may not be
able to carry on his old trade Just al

FRANCE
By Ellis Parker Butler of The
ViGlanteS.

1 always think Of France as going
forth: Of England as standing firm.
Through the centuries the men of
England have seemed to say: These
are our rights; we will not give them
up!" while France has said: MAN
kind deserves new rights and liber-
ties; we will go forth and win them!"
The Frenchman's ideal Of liberty,
as of fraternity and equality, has al
ways been at least a few steps In ad-
vance Of the fact, so that he has had
to fight to make it a reality.
The E~nglishman, in nearly every
case. acquired rights by growth. as a
youth grows into mans estate. Hav-
ing grown, the Englishman fought to
maintain. The Frenchman foresaw
his rights while they were still ideals
and fought to make them real. The
! Englishman, never yielding the rights
he had acquired, pushed his foot for
ward inch by inch to cover new
rights. The Frenchman pictured new
rights and leaped forward to create
them.
It was this readiness Of his to de-
mainland die for-an ideal that
gave us the theory that the
Frenchman was too emotional to be
steadfast.
Wars. battles and human rights are
won in various ways; the Frenchman
has won his rights by a long series Of
brilliant charges against ~autocracy
and the remnants Of autocracy. After
each charge, each uprising. the
Frenchman has held new ground.
maintained new rights for humanity.
The Bastille, fell. freedom was won.
Napoleon followed. That seemed the
overthrow Of newborn ~autocracy in

Spanish Influenza

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Congress
to-day appropriated S1,000,oO0 to be
used by the Public Health Service in
fighting Spanish influenza and other
communicable diseases, and directed
the Secretaries of War, Navy and the
Treasury to use the medical forces Of
the army. navy and Public Health Ser
vice in aiding the work of local au-

Both the House and Senate passed
unanimously the resolution introduced
by Representative Gillett, of Massa-

thority for Federal aid. In urging i'm
mediate action in the Senate, Senator
Underwood, of Alabama, said while
the influenza situation might not prove
to be as serious it now appears, there
was danger of the epidemic reaching
d point where it would cause greater
disaster to the American army at home
than the enemy could cause to the
forces abroad.
