And then he added:
There is no getting away from the impression

The New York Times points out numerous in.
stances of how the military is ruthlessly overriding
the civil authority and says "the most striking. be-
cause the most ruf6anly instance of the kind was
that in which Gen. Won Echhorn overthrew the
Ukraine government marching soldiers into the ses-
sion of the Rada and arrestng members Of the ad-
ministration at the very time when negotiations
going on between the Ukraine ministry and
the minister at Kiev 1t caused such shiver OF
fear in Germany that Vice Chancellor Won Payer
was obliged to make explanations. to pretend that

edge of the German minister, to do everything he

The roots of modern government are weak in
Germany. Until almost the middle of the nine
teenth century she an absolute monarchy. Her
assumption of constitutional forms and checks on
the throne was more or less routine matter.
What is the hope that devoluton can be halt
ed-that Germany can be stopped in her mad plunge
backward and downward and he brought back to the
family of the Western nations? There is only one
hope: Absolute, crushing and complete defeat for
the military ring which has reduced the foreign
office and all the civil authorities to mere pup
petry, which intends to maintain Germany as "a
despotism after the war is at an end
Only then can there be rebound upward, a
rebirth of German thought German policy, Ger
man conduct. The military has burned all bridges
and set out to reach the goal for absolute control
of the central empires, whence it once more
aspire to satate its lust for the conquest OF the
world. Bunting the edge of the sword it brand
ishes will not do. 1t must be shattered and
the arm that wields it must be withered-like that
of the Kaiser, who is hardly more than pawn IN
the hands of the supreme command.

Dearth of Nocturnal Melodrama.

Berlin reports an ebb in the wave
of crime that was observed there
in March. At that time the news
papers were filled with the daring
ventures of burglars and thieves
generally. Houses were broken into
right and left every night, and
some thieves even chose the daytime
for their operations An occa sional
murder accompanied their exploits.
Things finally became intolerab BILE.
and then the authorities began to
act. They had decided that one
substantial cause was the shortage
of policemen, many of the force
having been called into the army.
They remedied this by adding rein
forcements. Soldiers temporarily
exempt from military duty were
also assigned to the police force.
In this way patrolling parties of
police or soldierss secured the
streets throughout the night. The
result is that Berlin is now COM
paratively free from night robberies.

''The German Revolution"

There is a revolution in Germany. Perhaps it
might be better to call it devolution. The empire
is dizzily speeding back into the Middle Ages. 1t
is assuming the iron-gray prison garb OF absolute
despotism.
For three generations Germany has been con-
stitutional monarchy. 1t would be rich but cruel
Jest to call her today. Her constitution, which
never amounted to much, has become mere scrap
of paper" The militarists riding the country
under whip and spur They defy the civil power.
There is only the shadow of civil power left in Ger
many.
There is nothing remarkable about this case OF
atavisn--cyccpt that the Liberals OF the Western
world, who have been preaching German revolution
for more than two years, have found their revolu
ton going backward instead of forward Politically
speaking, the German government has reversed the
engines and is plunging wildly and at full speed
backward The whole power of the nation has been
absorbed and concentrated in the military.
Speaking OF the military ring and the nominal
government OF Germany, Deputy Noske said few
days ago before the main committee of the
Reichstag:

Enter Italia, May 23, 1915.
By EDMUND VANCE COOKE.

1t happened the twenty-third of May;
Gounod and Handel, carrolling along
Were joined by Verdi with burst of song.
Turner was spreading colors with Millet,
When, as they fell to musing for a spell,
Who should coming hurrying in but Raphael.
Voltaire had raised his glass; "a votre sante!"
When Shakespeare, jumping up, cried, "Here comes

When Garibaldi clapped their shoulders laughing.
And when they looked amazed, / heard him say:

President and the Knockers.

Woodrow Wilson journeyed the other day. into
the very home of those who most busily en-
gagged in throwing bricks at him and his leadership
He went to New York. The time of his arrival was
not specifically announced, but cheering thousands
met him at the railroad station and other cheering
thousands greeted him along the busy highways Of
the metropolis, and wildly enthusiastic audience
compelled him to make felicitous little three-sen-
tence speech when he attended the heater The plain
people were anxious to show him their love and de-
votion. They were dcsirous of showing their trust
and belief in him. 1t was their way of demonstrat
ing what they thought OF the political bunkum that
is written in New York and drooled in the United
States Senate.
The President is very busy man, but it would
pay him every in while to make trip to
some big city-North or East or South or West. 1t
would blow the cobwebs from his brain. 1t would
actually rest him. 1t would give the great mass Of
Americans who have no political other AK to
grind a chance TO pat him the back, as it were,
and to tell him that the knockers knock in vain.

YOUR PLACE.

YOUR PLACE.
In days like these the smallest man,
No matter what his stature be.
Hath place in Gods majestic plan
To make and hold His people free.
A country's honor not alone
On shoulders broad and sturdy
stands.
But often finds its cornerstone
In steadfast hearts and willing hands
In willing hand and steadfast heart.
In purpose high and courage true,
That bears its sacrificial part
Unfaltering TO dare and DO.

Mr.. Hughes Investigation is to b,

Mr.. Hughes investigation is to be
limited by presidential dictate.
Some talk IL being INDUCED in by
members of Congress over the des-
ignstion of Col. Deeds and some OF
his fellow officers to aid Judge
Hughes in the aircraft inquiry. Con-
gress regards it to some extent as
an effort to make way for a COM
plete whitewash. That is precisely
what Judge Hughes will not do,
however. for it is known that ne
will go into matters in such a way
as to lay blame at the very doors
of those who should he blamed. That
is what the people OF the nation de-
mand-and there Is a widespread in
terest in this, 10 be sure-and it is
what the people will have IL they
have to achieve it through their rep
resentative committee, the Senate
military Investigators.
The entire discussion comes back
TO a question OF the frankness which
the war and all other public depart
ments should display toward the peo-
pie. The people furnish both the
money and the men to prosecute
the war. 1t is their war And the
People are entitled to an account
ing comprehensive in details and
without any effort whatever at con-
cealment. 1t is this Congress has
been steadily insisting upon as the
people have insisted TO their mem-
bers what view the administrators
here should take of the peoples in
terest in affairs The advances made
in this respect since the first of
the year have been most gratify-
ing. The stilted optimism has been
supplanted by studied efficiency and
by dispassionate determination to do
things and let the record speak for
itself. Earlier in the year some of
the officers hereabout were quick to
speak for the record-a reversed pro-
cess quite as productive of untruth
as uncertainty-and this arrangement
the people never regarded as either
fair or desirable.
