power, it was considered dangerous
to provoke a war without Austria's S
cooperation. 1t was better to wait
until Austria could be forced into it.
Germany readily acquiesced in the
annexation by Austria of the Serviap
provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
which naturally embittered the Ser
vians. because it was believed that
thereby Austria would the more
easily be coerced into the war which
Germany intended to start when the
opportune moment arrived.
The murder of the Archduke
Franz Ferdinand, the successor to
the Austrian throne, and his wife. by
a Servian on June %, 1914, gave
Germany the excuse for which she
had been waiting so long to start a
European confiagration and found
Austria as anxious for war as her
ally.
But even had Emperor Franz
Joseph shown reluctance to plunge
his nation into war and had Austria
refused to chastise Servia for the
murder of the Archduke I doubt
very much whether the Kaiser would
have allowed that event to have gone
unaVenged.
1t touched him in one of his most
vulnerable spots. The sanctity of
royalty is one of his most cherished
ideas. He felt sponsor for the mon
arches of the world, as we feel spon-
sor for the democracies. A thrust at
a throne was stab at the Kaiser's
heart. and with or without the CO.
operation of Austria, I firmly be-
lieve he would have gone to any
lengths to have avenged the crime
of Saratevo.
1t is true that the Kaiser sent a
message to the Car of Russia in
which he pointed out that Austria
ought to be allowed to chastise Ser
via without interference from the
other European powers, remarking.
We princes must hold together"
but there can be no doubt that that
was very far from the outcome dear
est to his heart. If. indeed, the pun
ishment of Servia had been accom-
plished without war. the Kaiser
would have been a most disappointed
man, and If Russia had failed to
mobilize her troops, which gave Ger
many a preteXt for crossing the Rus
sian border I haven't the slightest
doubt that Germany would have
prodded Russia into war anyway,
knowing that France would follow

which Germany had been planning

How firmly the Kaiser was welded
to the dynastic idea and how deeply

course of his life, and in his con-

A German U-boat had sunk a
British vessel upon which were some
of the relatives of the crew of the
Baralong. The crew of this U-boat
was subsequently captured by the
Baralong, and according to reports
in Germany they were harshly
treated. Then it was reported that
the Baralong had been captured and
that her captain and crew would be
summarily dealt with.
Il hear that we have captured the
captain of the Baralong," the Kaiser
declared TO me at that time. If we
can prove that he's the man. We'll
fix him.
The manner in which the Kaiser
spoke left no doubt in my mind that
the direst punishment would be
meted out to the unfortunate Brit
ish captain.
Booty is undoubtedly a legitimate
incident of war, but it is legitimate
only as an incident. Otherwise booty
becomes loot. In any event, when
invading troops seize private prop
erty it is customary to pay for it.
That the Germans We're good takers
but poor payers is revealed by two
incidents which the Kaiser narrated
derived from them can be fully un-
Gerstood only by those who know
how much the Kaiser appreciates
getting something for nothing.
"Rumania wanted our gold for
food products" he told me. They
demanded pure gold. and they set
enormous prices on their wares; but
we needed what they had to sell
and We were ready to pay even the
outrageous prices they demanded.
And then they foolishly declared
war on us, and We got it all for
nothing! When 1 81 oke to Hinden-
burg about the contemplated cam
paign against Rumania he said,
This will be a very interesting cam
paign.' 1t was. We got all we
wanted and din't have to pay a
penny for it,
The Kaiser beamed all over as he
contemplated the results of Ruma-
MAS entry into the war.
When the German troops entered
Tarnapol, Russia. at later time,
they captured vast quantities of
American-made supplies.

There must be some reason why
this girl was so terrified by the
danger threatening her. She must
care very little for Wade if she was
willing TO have his reputation TO
say nothing of her own ruined.
Perhaps there was another man.
Clifford Chaplin stopped short
struck by an idea that seemed to
illuminate everything.
Now he understood. The girl had
designs upon John Butler!
He recalled trifles to which he had
paid scant attention at the time of
how Elizabeth Wade had spoken in a
confidential aside to John Butler one
evening when Clifford was about to
take her driving. The pair had SEEM
ed on remarkably good terms even
then.
He, had it now! He saw through
it all. Butler had supplanted Wade
in the girls esteem. Butler was a
richer man than was the young ply
sician.

peCted.

they owned the world" declared the
Kaiser, when one of my officers was
approached by a group of long
haired, greasy Jews, who claimed
that these supplies belonged to
them. They are our private prop
crty; we bought them and we should
be compensated if you take them.
they contended. Did you pay for
them my officer asked. No, we
| didn't pay for them, but We gave
our notes. they replied. Then, said
my officers, when you take up those
notes We'll pay for these stores; in
the meanwhile We'll just take them.
We secured bandages, serums-
everything in fact that we needed
so very badly. and We got them all
for nothing"
1 did not know at that time that
the German army lacked medical
, supplies, but later l saw paper
bandages in use.
1 have previously referred to the
Kaisers defense of the use of Yep
pelins against Paris, London and
other nonmilitary cities. He de-
clared that it was proper to make
war on civilians, because England
was eHuSdNOTlnS 10 SIdTNe germany.
On one occasion I pointed out to
him that in 1870 the Germans had
besieged Paris and had starved its
population.
The cases are entirely different"
he answered, hastily. Then we
were besieging a city, and the civil
ian population had plenty OF oppor-
tunity to evacuate it before the siege
began. England is besieging a whole
nation, and trying to starve my
women and children, who have
nothing to do with war;
1 couldn't help thinking Of the
whole nations" which had been
absolutely crushed under the Kai-
ser's heel-of Belgium, Servia and
Poland.
The Kaiser never admitted that
the destruction of the Lusitania was
G result of special instructions from
him to the U-boat commander, but
in discussing the general subject of
submarine warfare he asked:
What right have Americans to
take passage on these vessels, any
way? If they came onto the battle
field they would not expect us to
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-08-21

stop firing, would they?, Why
should they expect any greater pro-
lection when they enter the war
zone at sea?
Don't ever forget" he went on.
"a bullet from a pistol would be
enough to sink one of our U-boats.
How can we stop and board vessels
we encounter to ascertain whethe~
they are neutral and not carrying
contraband? If what appears to be
a neutral should in fact prove to
be a belligerent, or if a belligerert
should heave to in response TO our
submarines, how can we safely send
boarding party over when a rifle
shot from the vessel in question
would send aus to the bottom? OBJ
Niously, if America persists in send
ing munitions to the allies, there is
but one thing for us to do-sink
the vessels"
When l suggested that while the
Nulnerability of the submarine un-
doubtedly lessened its value in con-
nection with the right of search
which belligerents have under inter-
national law, still the law ought to
be observed, the Kaiser interrupted
me hastily with the remark.
international law! Inere Is no
such thing as international law any
more"
In that assertion, of course, lies
the answer to all the questions
which have arisen in connection
with the conduct of the war. If the
Germans recognized no international
law but were guided solely by their
ideas of eXpediency and the demands
of "Kultur," then the whole course
of the war became perfectly clear
The use of poisoned gas, the de-
struction of unfortified towns, the
desecration of churches, the attacks
on hospitals and Red Cross units
the countless atrocities committed
against civilians and prisoners OF
war, require no other explanation.
No such thing as international
law any more!

They. of course, will want to know
! what is to happen next in the story.
And they probably will ask you for
the rest of it.
Always manage so that they will
be anxious for you to read to them
more than you do. Always speak of
reading TO them as a privilege, not
in so manv words, of course, but
through suggestion. Since they have
Tbeen in the habit of rebelling at tho

be well ut first to refer only to some
particular book which you are teach

they can get you to read.

ZZOU are laying the foundations

|VoU are laying the foundations
of real contentment for your
child when you lead him to
know and love good books. The
child who likes to read is easily
amused, the youth who reads learns,
the man or woman who loves good
books is never without friends.
And books feed the imagination
make treasure houses of the mem
ory, keep the dream faculty awake.
The old education crushed the child's
imagination; the new education fos-
ters it, knowing it is the child's most
priceless heritage.
Unfortunately many children learn
to enjoy trash while many children
never learn to take an interest in
books of any sort. Those children
are indeed TO be pitied who grow up
with a pronounced dislike for read
ing good books.
Here is an example. A mother
writes to me:
My nine-year-old daughter
enjoys being 'read to a great
deal and l enjoy reading to her,
but my r-and-a-half-year-o
twins do not enjoy it and rebel
every time a book is brought
forth. How would you deal
with the situation?"
Use suggestion in this manner:
With a new, attractive little book in
your hand, suddenly appear to be
very much amused. Laugh aloud SO
that the boys attention will be at
tracted to you. When they look up
at you. rs much as to say, We'll,
what is 1t all about?" say, "Oh, this
is the funniest story! Little Jack
here started to ride a big dog and
when the dog started to run-Come
over and sit by mother a minute and
we'll hear the rest of the story" The
boys naturally will do this.
Now. in n very enthusiastic way,
read several short passages which
involve great deal of action and,
when the boys are keenly attentive,
