SET AN EXAMPLE OF HONESTY
Street Car Passenger Left Fare With
Woman Who Took Advantage of
Opportunity to Be Dishonest.

The man in the corner seat looked
worried. At last he spoke.
Madam" he said, will you kindly
take this nickel and give it to the con-
ductor when he comes around? have
been trying to catch his eye, but he APP
parently does not see me. VIII you see
that he gets it?"
The woman sat bewildered in the
presence of such extraordinary hon
eSty, but she goodnaturedly accepted
the trust After the man left the car,
she, too, attempted to establish line
of communication with the conductor,
but failed She was nearing her own
destination, but conscience forbade
her leaving the car until her neigh
boris fare had been said. Before that
feat was accomplished she had been
carried four blocks past her street.
When she finally got home her temper
was slightly damaged.
But you shouldn't have been so ac-
commodating," said her husband. you
should have got Off ut your corner"
But how could II" the woman ar
gued. with that mans honesty be-
fore me as an example of right living
l simply had to turn his nickel over to
the conductor"
Maybe you are right" said the man
admiringly. women certainly do have
fine notions aboH these things. But
it is too bad. You had to walk back. "
"oh. no, didn't walk" She said. 81

And that cost you another nickel"
mo. it didn't" she said. 1.-THE con-
duCtor never even looked my way
when he came through. and l got off
without having to pay"

greater the danger that he will be
influenced by humanitarianism; to
guard against this he must study mil
itary history, which will teach him
whether the prevailing customs OF
war are justified or not. With some
few exceptions. all attempts to make
laws to restrain war have Completely
failed. There is nothing but "a mu.
tual agreement which custom
and tradition, human friendliness and
calculating selhshness have erected.
Even this agreement has no external
sanction; only the fear OF reprisals
decides" That is, there Is no penalty
FOR disobeyng these rules OF war, un.
loss YOU are afraid the enemy may
do the same, OF worse, to you.
Having denied the spirit of the
Hague agreement, the War Book
theTeupon proceeds in detail to annul
large number of its most important
provisions, AS an example, the Hague
Regulations provide that private
property must be respected. The War
Book teaches that every damage.
even the greatest, may be done. II

But what was the Kaiser doins
while his General Staff was thus max
ing public sport of his treaties? He
was setting the example. He had
signed the Hague treaty, which pro-
Yided that "it is expressly forbidden
to declare that no quarter will be
given" But less than a year later.
when sending troops to put down the
Boxer uprising in China, he declared
to them, mo mercy will be shown.
No prisoners will be taken. AS the
Huns under Attila made name for
themselves which is still mighty in
traditions and legends today, may the
name of Germany be so fixed in China
by your deeds that no Chinaman shall
ever dare to look at a German ask
anCe Make way for Kultur once

Did the army obey? 1t was ex.
pected to obey And the German
newspapers of that time testified that
it did obey.
In the same year the Kaiser had
told his army: You have given your
selves to me, body and soul In view

il may come to pass that | shall com

God forbid. but even then yos must

And yet there are men who think

charged against it. And there are

DOLoROUS AUTO ACCIDENT.

Dan Meehan, who resides short
distance west of the M. E. church, had
the misfortune to be run over by ar
automobile Saturday evening. 1t hap
pened about 10 o'clock. His right arm
was broken between wrist and elbow,
also two ribs. and he otherwise sus-
tanned badly battered and bruised
face.
The accident happened near and in
front of the church. The car was being
driven by Leo Collins, farmer resid-
ing southeast of this city and was west
ward bound. Because of swag in the
street at this point to carry away the
water, the car was necessarily going
moderately slow. Mr.. Meehan was
also going west, and in attempting to
cross evidently became bewildered.

Many Americans have found 1t hard
TO believe that German soldiers would
commit the atrocities with which they
are charged Even when confronted
by the evidence of the barbarous
deeds we have been inclined to think,
These were individual acts. But the
army as a whole cannot be guilty, be-
cause officers would not command sol
diers to perform such acts, and SOL
diers' even II commanded would not
obey but revolt"
But German autocracy had taken
care 70 prevent just such a revolt OF
human nature In 1902 the General
Stan OF the German army published q
manual for the instruction OF officers,
entitled Customs OF War on Land. 2
This War Book deliberately contra
diets the terms of the Hague Treaty,
which Germany had previously sworn
to uphold
In reading the War Book, one finds
that the war lords teach the army
that any commanding officer is al.
lowed, without waiting for orders
from higher up" TO treat the people
and the land Of the enemy as cruelty
as he pleases, if only 1t is necessary
for military success. Study the his.
tory Of ancient wars--learn how
frightfuI war has always been--forget
that you are a son of modern civiliza-
ton. The Hague treaty is full OF sen.
timental nonsense. The only thing
which may hold you back from fright
fitness Is the fear that the enemy
may pay you back in your own coin.
Just what, in detail, are the facts?
In 1899 al the Hague, Germany signed
a treaty in which--to quote its very
words-"His Majesty the Emperor OF
Germany" and the other rulers of Eu-
rope declare they are animated by
the desire to serve the interests of
humanity and the ever increasing re-
quirements of civilization. They
wish TO LAY down certain limits to
the customs OF war, for the purpose
of modifying their severity so far as
possible" Sixty laws OF war were
thus established by solemn treaty.
Germany swore to issue instructions
to her armed land forces which
should agree exactly with these laws.
But when the War Book was pub.
lished, only three years later it
warned the German officer against
the humanitarian views" Of the nine
teenth century, which not intrequent-
ly degeneratad into sentimentality
and mawksh emotionalism" He was
told to beware of attempts to influ-
ence the customs of war in a way
which was in fundamental contradic.
ton with the nature OF war and its
object. Such attempts will not be
lacking in the future, the more so as
these efforts have found a moral rec
ogrtion in some of the provisions of
the Geneva Convention and OF the
brussels and Hague Conferences"

When the stories Of German atroci
ties in Belgium first reached the
United States, many men were un-
willing to believe them Even now,
when abundant evidence is available,
some still doubt, and even question
the fairness of persons who have
been convinced, Yet, We must face
the facts in order to keep our minds
alive TO the real nature OF the con
hict which we have entered.
To tell IN detail the story of Ger
man atrocities since August, 1914
would be long and painful task. The
evidence is open TO everyone in the
reports OF numerous commissions, in
the testimony of Cardinal MERCER Of
Belgium, OF other foreigners OF undis-
puted standing, and of our own min
listers and ambassadors to the coun-
tries affected by the war This evil
dence is supported by the diaries of
captured German soldiers and the
proClamations of German officials
These documents have been subjected
to the closest examination by experts
trained TO deal with testimony of this
kind There can be no doubt as to
their truth, And the more the Ger
mans have tried TO justify themselves
the more they have convicted them
selves by the acknowledgement OF
deeds which they can only excuse UNI
