Germany had been evident, and
such a war could not leave out

Thrift Stamp Girls Party

The entertainment at Academy
last Friday night in honor of the
Thrift Stamp girls was highly
pleasing to all, especially to the
little workers. Irene Straton
took first prize, a beautiful
necklace and two silver dollars,
her Thrift Stamp sales being
$394.07; Clarissa Smith took
second prize, very pretty neck
lace. her sales being $316. "a;
Pearl Willis came third with
sales of Stamps amounting to
$314.08 and received Baby
Bond and two silver dollars.
Helen Fillerup got fourth prize,
a months movie ticket and So,
having sold S43.78. The total
sales amouted to $1068.17. We
understand that Pearl Willis
overlooked a few dollars in max
ing returns which if had been
turned in at proper time would
have given her second place. 1t
was a great campaign and the
little girls did extra we'll and

England'S Friendship

Nevertheless, Lichnowsky goes
on to say, London Quilted down
on the Moroccan affair" The
Haldane mission had gone to
Berlin to come to an understand
ing with Germany, and that
mission failed, Lichnowsky con-
fesses, because we demanded
a promise of neutrality" from
Great Britain in the event of a
European war, ..instead of being
satisfied with a treaty which as
against British attack or against
any attack with British sup
port" He continues: "Howev-
err, Sir Edward Grey had not
given up the idea of coming to
an understanding with us, and
his first attempts in that direc-
tion were in connection with
matters relating to trade and
colonies. -. After reaching a
settlement with France and
Russia on the old questions in
dispute, the British stateman
intended to come to similar
agreements with us. What he
aimed at was not to isolate us,
but rather to have us, as much
as possible, take share in the
existing partnerships. Having
succeeded in bridging over the
differences which existed be-
tween England and France and
between England and Russia, he
also wanted to remove, as we'll
as might be, the differences be-
tween England and Germany,
and to insure the peace of the
world by means of network Of
treaties which should ultimately
also include a settlement of the
miserable naval question; where
as the consequences of our own
foreign policy up to then had
been the formation of the entente
partnership in which these ma
tions pledged themselves to rend-
er mutual support in case of war.
AS he himself expressed it, Grey's
policy was this: Without in
fringing on the existing friendly
relations with France and Russia,
which in themselves contained
no aggressive elements and no
binding obligations for England,
to seek to achieve a more friendly
rapprochement with Germany,
and to bring the two groups
together. F"

LiChnOWSky Made a Goat

LiChnOWSky Made a Goat
When, in spite of his efforte
to prevent it, England was in
volved in war against Germany,
he returned to Berlin and saw, as
he says, that he was to be made
the scspegoat for the catastrophe
which our Government h a d
brought down on us, despite my
advice and warning. 1t was de-
liberately given out, from official
quarters that | had let Sir Ed
ward Grey hoodwink me, He
retired to Gratz smarting with
this injustice, and there he pre-
pared a memoir, called my Mis-
sion in London, " for the private
information of his kinsmen and
his intimate political friends.
Of this memoir he had five or
six typewriter copies made,
One he sent to Herr Ballin, head
of the Hamburg American Line;
a second to Herr Gwinner, the
head of the Deutsche Bank; and
a third to Herr Theodore Wolff,
editor of the Radical-Democratic
newspaper, the Berliner Tage-
blatt. A fourth copy went to a
friend, an officer attached to the
political department of the Ger
man General Staff. This officer
appears to have manifolded it on
his own responsibility and sent
copies to various State officials
and politicians. He did that,
Herr Theodor Wolff says, because
'he felt the longing to aerve the
dictates of peace with complete
devotion, and n e surrendered
himself to a pacifsm which is ab-
solutely incompatible with mil
itary uniform. He confessed
to Herr Wolf what he had done.
"It was impossible" the editor
says, to convince him by any
logic or on any grounds of reason
that his action was wrong, sense
less, or harmful. He was a Mar
quis Posa, or, still more, a Hora-
titus Coolies, who, out of love for
Rome or for mankind, sprang in
to the abiss."
One of his copies Of the mem
oir reached the socialist newspa-
per Politiken in Stockholm and
was published piecemeal. The
German press took it up. The
Reichstag debated it. Lichnow-
sky was deprived of his diplomat
ic rank, forbidden to write for
publications, and virtually i'm
prisoned on his own estates. The
newspapers demanded that he be
court-marshaled. A typical let
ter, printed in the semi-oficial
Cologne Gazette, demanded that
he ''be held up to public con-
tempt ruthlessly." The writer
argued: What will our thous-
ands of war cripples say when
this affair is brought to their out
ragged notice? Have these men
joyfully sacrificed their health
only to be told at this stage of
the war by a Prince Lichnowsky
that it was not necessary"

ever, have for almost four years
been inoculated with the view
that England laid all the mines

which the Secretary of State

the evidence of the ambassador
prince Lichnowsky), has now
declared to be false! 1t is, how
ever, by this false view that the
whole war policy of the German
Empire has been directed-fr from
the declaration of unrestricted
submarine warfare, which
brought us war with America,
down to those chancellor speeches
which say that Belgium must
not again become England's area
of military concentration. If all
the parties concerned were con-

Germany'S Place in the Sun
But to the American reader,
the most important part of
Prince Lichnowsky's exposure
is not his conclusion that Ger
many forced a declaration of
war. We have long believed
that. Our German sympathizers
have largely admitted it. But
they have pleaded that the Kai-
ser declared war only because
war was inevitable; that Ger
many was denied her "place in
the SUM-; that a conspiracy of
Russia, and Great Brit
ain prevented her from obtain
ing colonies and extending her
trade; and that, consequently,
Germany had either to take up
arms or be throttled to death by
Great Britain's trade enmity.
Many of us have been persuaded
that these excuses are true ex-
cuses; that the British policy
compelled Germany's appeal to
the sword, and that Britain's al
lies are merely pulling Britain's
chesnuts out of the fire., as the
German propagrndists are con-
tinually charging.
Of these procured lies, Prince
Lichnowsky's memoirs give a
very happy disproof.
1t has been pleaded that the
policy of France and England in
M Morocco was anti German.
Prince Lichnowsky writes: Our
obscure policy in Morocco had
repeatedly caused distrust of our
peaceful intention, or. at least,
had raised doubts as to whether
we knew what we wanted, or
whether our intention was to
keep Europe in a state of sus-
pense, and, on occasion to humil-
