Social Invention.


The world has always been In need Of

IL will need them to solve the s~tupendous
social problems certain to develop after
the great war.
There can be no return to pre-war
social conditions. with the injustices which
the war has brought so sharply into

tho absence OF truly efficient plans for
social reconstruction.

Russia was q land of privileged tyranny.

Alas! They had not been giving sufficient

Some years ago Louis d. Brandeis, now

to the point at the time he made 1t
and still more to the point today. Said
Mr.. Brandeis:

AFRICAN ELEPHANT TO

Mr.. Ringing and Edmond Laplea. of

met in conference here the other day
and discussed plans for using the here

tion work In Europe.
The men agreed hat the loss Of
horses and mules could o be replaced
for many years, and. since African ele-
plants may be found In vast numbers.
and be tanned easily, both felt positive
that tho allies would assist IN the ship

BELIEVED ALLIED
ARMY WAS EXHAUSTED

New York.-Long before Marshal
Foch began his brilliant counter Of
fensive on the Marine, the Germans
had been told that his reserves had
been exhausted. This Is shown by a
Wolff Bureau dispatch published In
the Berlin Tagebiatt, which described
the fighting about Chateau hisrry.
"The hope of the entente regarding
- decisive Intervention OF the great
army Of -maneuyer has been definitely
shattered. The proud army OF reserve
which the wal council OF Versailles
played al Its trump exists as such no
longer" read the dispatch.
"The great victory OF the crown
prince has shattered a considerable
part Of the enemies fighting force and
has resulted In the dissolution and
complete dispersal Of the Foch army
OF maneuver. The tremendous losses
suffered by the entente on the extern
asive fronts between Yprss and Rheims
will be difficult to replace"
This was published in Germany
about q month before Marshal Foch
struck the Germans or the Marine and
drove them back to the Vesle. II prob
ably shows why the German public
was 30 greatly surprised by Marshal
FOch's brilliant stroke.

RUSSIA A VICTIM

No one imagines that the Russian

norance Of Russia. Tor which they
paid very dearly, and we even more
dearly" and In the coruse OF this ar.
ticle the writer says:
The Germans have made a thor
ough study OF Russia. During the
past 20 or 30 years. when it be-
came clear that an armed collision
was inevitable. the Germans in
formed themselves of the whole re-
sources OF our country, and entered
into the war with us armed not
alone with guns but also with q
most detailed knowledge OF our In
dustrial, economic and intellectual
life; not to mention the fact that
during the past 80 years the whole
OF Russian science and almost all
u intellectual activity lived and
developed under the domineering
influence OF the German mind. Our
Jurisprudence Is German, our phil
ology Is German, while our So
ciaiism also bears the stamp
Made in Germany"
The statement Is worth studying,

may detest kultur as we detest poi

hesitate to use ourselves when the
military need for II became urgent;
how much more reason Is there to op-
pose German kulture. which we con-
slider a detestable thing. with our own
culture, which we consider q noble
thing. Before the war We were perhaps

took our soap too much for granted.
