Senator Reed predicted that 100000

Baker Against Amendment.
The first outburst of applause in the
debate occurred when Representative
Kahn of California, quoted the testi-
mony Of Gen. Peyton c. March, chief
of staff, to the effect that they pro-
posed under the man power bill to put
1000, 900 on the western front by June
80, 1919.
Secretary of War Baker went on
record Thursday as strongly opposing
the Mckenzie amendment.
According to Gen. Crowder's fig
ures," Mr.. Baker said, 'it will not be
possible to have eighty divisions
abroad by July l withut using the Is
and 10 year old men"

4 WASHINGTON. D. c.. Aug. 49,.
Brisk debate on the man-power bill
engaged the attention Of both houses
throughout Thursdays session. The
fight revolved about the proposed
drafting of men under the age OF 81
years Considerable sentiment was
manifested at both ends Of the capitol
against reducing the draft age mini
mum limit.
Some members Of both houses open

under 20 years Of age. Others declar-

amendments to compel the war depart

Made In Germany

From The Youths Companion.
1t is q maxim old warfare that enemies
should always remember that they Will. by and
by, be friends. and therefore commit no act that
will make a future friendship difficult or fnsn-
cere. The Germans have deliberately disregard
ed the maximum, and they must take the conse-
quences, Ror. however the war may end the con-
duct Of 1t by Germany has built up the most in
tense adherence.
Do we hate the Germans? NO; hate is not the
word. We do not hate the wild beast that lies in
ambush TO spring upon us and suck our blood,
We do not hate the sneak thief or the midnight
assassin owe look upon them without anger but
as something that must be destroyed. and We do
not make friends with them even when they pro-
fess to reform and give up their evil practices.
We shall not be friends with the Germans All
such intimaCies exchange professorships, hon
orary degrees for their eminent scholars naval
visits betW cen their country and ours-al the
days have been interchanged between Americans
and Germans-are things Of the past. Perhaps
the Germans will reconcile themselves to the
situation contentedly "a we. But kultur does
not disdain world wide hsSEe IN articles produced
by German industry. ia movement to thwort
the Germans in any osadueS% of foreign markets
has made great progress and increases in mo-
mentum every day. Through their national or
CARNATIONS English and French sailors have
pledged themselves not to serve any ship en-
gagged in trade to Germany from it.
They first set time that the boycott should
last, and now they add month for every new act
Of maritime brutality, such as sinking q hospital
ship. Commercial bodies in all the countries Of
the Allies are making agreements not to sell for
export to Germany and not to buy German goods
even after peace is restored. Governments are
considering by what laws they can encourage
trade to their Allies and block trade with Ger
many. Private citizens everywhere are deciding
for themselves that hereafter they will neither
buy use articles made in Germany.
All such measures can be carried into effect
II the Allies win. What If they should lose?
Even the most overwhelming would not enable
our cOnQuerors to control either the sentiments
Of individuals or their choice Of those with whom
they will trade; therefore, the ability to boycott
all things German would remain. Indeed such
victory would intensity the feelings that led to
the boycott.

The Pacif1st Mind

Andre Cheradane in The Atlantic Monthly
Inc deep seated cause OF pacifisna, generally
speaking, Is the very incomplete knowledge Of
external affairs-and hence, of Germany-Which
unfortunately we are obliged to recognize in the
countries now, allied. VThe result of this ignor-
ance is that those persons who are Temperament
tally inclined to idealism discuss war and peace
through the medium Of abstract principles and a
Prlorl theories, having no knowledge Of definite
facts carefully scrutinized to save them from
errors Thus they foreign countries as they
would fam have them and not as they are
Now, 1t is from this category Of minds preds-
posed to theory, that the pacifists are recruited
Again, 1t is readily understood that, while they
nave very little familiarity with external ma
teral facts, they are even more ignorant of ex-
ternal irnnateral facts-notably the psychology
Of the German people. And each and every pa
ciftst error has its definite basis in this ignor-
ance. The acts Of pacifist foreign policy from
1890 to 19l4-the endless concessions made to
Germany and Austrla-were generally regarded
in Great Britain, Russia and France as wise and
prudent and calculated~to insure peace; this es-
innate could proceed from nothing else than ut
ter failure to comprehend German psychology.
Those persons in the Allied countries who be-
lieVed and still believe that to make a concession
to the Germans is the surest means Of inducing
them to respond with reciprocal concessions are
absolutely mistaken. Prussianized Germany sees
evidence OF weakness in every voluntary conces-
sionl and Is tempted thereby to demand more ere
long 1t Is OF vital Importance that people in the
Allied countries should become imbued with this
fact, which is known to all those who have
watched Germans closely. The Germans by rea-
son Of an ages old atavism which cannot be sud.
denly changed, respect nothing save material
force guided by an intellectual force which knows
them through and through.
q Thus the only way to persuade Germany to pre.
serve the peace is to constrain her to do SO by
forcible methods more powerful than her own
and always ready to be set in motion.

Playing blackboard

INFORMATION WANTED.

Pan-German and Liberal factions in
Germany are now engaged in q controversy
as to which is responsible for bringing
l.America into the war. Neither side, it ap-
pears, is willing to be it, says The Kansas
City Times.
The question is one that may be left to
I Germans to settle for themselves. There
Twill be number of such questions waiting
adjustment, we imagine, as soon as the
German people get little more time to be-
stow on them. It is conceivable that when
kthe war is over and they find themselves
kwithout O job without markets, without a
Eneighbor who will speak to them, when
| they find themselves thus cut off from the
world with nothing to show for their spree
/ but a broken head and a war debt, it is
7 conceivable they may want to know a
number of things. 1t is even possible they
may apply for the information to the right
tduarter Having been taught that all wis
dom resides in the kaiser they may ask him,
| in case he is still to be found at the old
I address, who it was that started the quest
for place in the sun. They may want to
know where the tradition Of the mailed fist
foriginated, who is responsible for the shin
ling sword theory Of national progress, who
gave his personal word that Colt had ap-
proved the teaching that the German was
the elect of the earth.
Perhaps the kaiser, if he is not too much
Eghaken, can think Of soothing and convinc-
ling answers quickly enough. But we mag
line he may be put to it. We imagine the
Fold recitation about his ancestor placing
the crown on his own head and daring any
Ebody to knock it off, the old tall talk about
! it being German highest pleasure and
duty to shoot his father if his emperor tells
him to, will hardly fill the bill. The kaiser
would do well to be thinking up something
new, for he is going to need it. His faith
full subjects are going to be Of an inquiring
turn Of mind after they get through seeing
stars, and the question Of who brought
EAmerica into the war will only be the open

What's Your "Jonah" Word?

Nearly everyone has some special word which
he mispronounces. Have you? The writer al
ways tries to avoid the word ''pebeian" through
an absurd desire to put the accent on the first
syllable, as in "plebiscite"
A laugh went round room once when a young
man referred to a ships DO and a woman de-
batting came to grief the word "epitone,"
to which she gave but three syllables instead Of
its rightfu four.
But how about the governess who told her 1T
tie pupils all about the "aborijeens Of Aus
tralia2 The writer one of the little pupils,
and 1t made an indelible impression. "Jetune' is
always tricky. "Aspirant" is worrying, too, until
you learn that the accent may be on the first or
the second syllable.
OF course, you know how TO pronounce Mac
pherson, Mackenzie and Machinery. Perhaps the
last word caught you mapping though-unless
you are too old bird!
