Kaiser Asks Continued Resistance.
Berlin, Oct. z, (via Basel, Switzer-
lahd) emperor William yesterday is
sued a proclamation to the German
army and navy in which, after an
nouncing that the Macedonian front
had crumbled, he declared that he had
decided, in accord with his allies, to
again offer peace to the enemy.
The text of the emperor's proclama-
ton reads, in part:
sFor months past the enemy, with
enormous exertions and almost with
out pause in the fighting, has stormed
against your lines. In weeks Of strug-
gle, often without repose, you have had
to preserve and resist numerically
far superior army. Therein lies the
greatness of the task which has been
set for you and which you are fulfill
ing. Troops Of all the German states
are doing their part and are heroically
defending the fatherland on foreign
soil. Hard is the task.
My navy is holding its own against
the united enemy and naval forces and
is unwaveringly supporting the army
in its difficult struggle.
whether arms will be lowered is q
question. Until then, we must not
slacken. We must, as hitherto, exert
all our strength unwearily to hold our
ground against the onslaught Of our
enemies. -

your strength and in Gods gracious
enough to defend our beloved father
land,

THE GERMAN MIND
(By Harvey O'Higginsl

1t is not hottomless mystery, this
outrageous record of the Germans at
war. 1t is a clearly consistent ex-
preston of the servile mind. - To un,
derstand it you have only under
stand the peaceful virtues of me peo-
pie whom Bismarck called "a nation
| of house servants"
They have long been governed by
| the most arrogant of all the governing
classes of Europe-the Prussian mill
tarists. They have submitted with
| touching faith in their oppressive pro-
! tectors. Timid. sentimental, poetic.
and comfort-loving, plundered for CEN
turtles by their marauding neighbors,
they have been glad to league together
in the German empire with no matter
what loss of personal liberty, under
the domination of their tyrannous war
lords. They have seen in that tyr
amy their only safety. 1t defended
them superbly in the procured wars of
the last century, first from their old
rivals the Austrians, and then from
their old cOnquerors, the French. They
believe that it has defended them as
efficiently in the present war BY in
spired news and forged dispatches
they have been convinced that they
were invaded before this war was de-
clared and they still believe it. They
believe that they are fighting in self
defense under the leadership Of an
autocracy that is their only self-prc-
lection
And they are fighting as the timid
fight. The man who has been gov
erned by arrogance and has bowed
down to fear is man who under
stands no instrument but cruelty to
compel respect. He will invariably
resort to frightfulness as his, eSapon
in war. He will know no compassion.
/ He will have no dignity-not even the
, dignity of pity. He will be at once

lombard hospitals, kill the wounded.
torment prisoners cut down fruit trees
and defle with animal filth what he
has not time to destroy like a dis
charged servant taking his revenge
on the kitchen. 1t is inevitable. 1t is
in the nature of the servjle mind to do
these things, and to fail to see why
they should not be done.
His officers will order them done.
because it has been by brutality that
his officers have ruled him, and they
will hope by brutality 20 rule the
world. And he will do What he is
| ordered because he knows the eff
cacy of fear in his own case, and he
will hope by frightfulness to strike
fear into his enemy.
His instinct of subserviency. in fact,
makes him perfect military instru-
ment. He obeys orders like a devoted
hound. He has the courage of un-
questioning obedience He must be
sent to the attack in mass formation,
but he will go blindly, linking arms
with his fellows, singing solemnly. in
state of exalted meekness When he
is behind the lines, in safety, he will
encourage himself with hymns of hate

he is taken prisoner he will be gentle,
biddable, hard-working and happy.
For the same reasons he makes a
perfect spy. He will be humble, in
gratiating, as treacherous as an in
timidated child, and servilely free of
any sense of the obligations of hospi-
tality. His ambassador in a neutral
country will be faithful servant. dis
guised as a gentleman, gathering serv-
ants gossip in a plot to betray his
host. His very arrogance is the AFRO
gance of the servant who is proud of
his master. He will tell you, 1--WE
Germans fear only God" because his
very religion is a religion of fear. If
he were really as devilish as he pre-
tends he would say, I'VE Germans
love only God" Elm feste Burg ist
unser Colt" All of Germany's plum
dered past is in that line. Who but
an inundated people, longing for
Chinese wall, would sing Our God is
a strong fortress? 1t is this lack of
real courage that makes him continu-
ally boast of his lack of fear. He bull
lies, because he has always been bull
lied He does not understand why
the world will not cringe, and he fails
to understand it because he is himself
always inwardly cringing to the auto
Gratis whom he trusts to defend him
from the world.
1t is the problem of this war, first
to break the military autocracy of Ger
many, and then to set free the minds
of the people. Any attempt to punish
them for their cruelties will drive
them, hereafter, with a new timidity
into the arms of some new despotism
They must be persuaded of their
safety in the world They must be per-
suaded to dare the responsibilities of
freedom. These people. who have
never had a revolution in the whole
eoures of their history, must be first
liberated and forgiven, and then pro
tected in their freedom and encour-
aged to feel self-respect.
1t is pathetic sort of problem 1t
is problem that can not be solved
in terms of hatred and revenge 1t is
peculiarly the problem of the Ameri-
can people, who have nothing to gain
from the defeat of Germany but the
safety of democracy in world politics,
and who can not establish that safety
till Germany is itself true democracy,
nnservile and treasured.

He was right. for soon groups of
the enemy started back through the

poured in a deadly fire. but %unfortu-

GREAT ITALIAN
POETS UNEARTHED

Rimini. Italy, March Portraits
of Italy's two greatest poets, Dante
and Petrarch. have been discovered in
the church of ST. Augustine. The like
nesses represent the poets in their
youth and form part of large fresco
paintings made in the 14th century
by students. it is supposed. of the
celebrated Giotto and covered over in
1880. after the Black Death pest of
thai year when the walls of many
hundreds of churches in Italy were
whitewashed. Independent of the
artistic value of the frescoes, it is
stated they will be preserved in order
to settle disputes as to the appearance
of the two poets when young.
