AN INSPIRING "DRIVE.v

The United War Work campaign Nov 11-18,
furnishes this country with an inspiring week.
For the first time in history, we see workers
of the three chief religious divisions in this
country-Catholics, Jews and Professionals
working together in common cause
The collection of $107, 100000 for war work
among our Yanks in France, therefore, becomes
only one of the reasons why this campaign
should be supported.
The other great reason is the impetus it
brings to unity here at home
Of the great need for these millions which
we are asked to contribute there is no doubt.
If peace comes the need viii be even greater,
during demooiization, for work among the SOL
ders, than it is today.
Seven organizations are cooperating:
Young Mems Christian Association
Young Women's Christian Association.
Knights of Columbus.
Jewish Welfare Board.
War Camp Community Service.
American Library Association.
Salvation Army.
Thousands of Yanks in letters home, and mil
lions by their smiles you see in their photo
graphs, have testified to the great good that
every one of these "seven sisters" has done and
is doing in keeping up American morale.
1t is the direct request of President Wilson
that the seven campaigns for funds are CONSOLE
dated into one
Whatever you give will be divided among the
seven according to each organizations needs.

THREE MEN AND THE VISION THEY SAW
By BRUCE BARTON

In certain city dwell three men, And by
accident OF birth one of them is a Catholic and
one is a Protestant ana one is Jew.
For thirty years they have engaged in bust
ness side by side and the Catholic has not dealt
with the Protestant; and the Catholic and the
Protestant have had no dealings with the jew.
What is he to me?' each man has said He
is not of my faith; will avoid him."
So for thirty years they have dwelt together,
strangers in friendly world.
Then came the shadow of a fearful war. And
out Of those three homes three boys went forth
alone. Three fathers waited heart-worn for the
letters from over there.
There are Soldiers of Friendliness over here, y
the boys wrote home s"They bring us chocolate,
and motion pictures, and baseball, and good lee
Help those friendly agencies when you have
the chance" each boy wrote home.
So it happened that the three fathers found
themselves working shoulder to shoulder in a
great campaign for funds.
Not as Catholic and Protestant and Jew
but as good citizens united in aseommon cause
And as they worked they came to know each
other, and they were ashamed that for so many
years they had been strangers side by side.
Surely this is one of the conversations of
war;" they said, that in our deeper love for our
boys we have learned a new respect for one
another"
So a new spirit was born into that city. AS
though in its heart it had discovered something
of the greater religion, whose God is Father;
and whose faith and creed are love.

THE ALL-HGHEST FALLS.

The last and least-the most sinister and the
most sordid-of the Caesars has fallen, and
gone into self-imposed exile.
This bloody brotherhood of Cain, which has
ever sought to substitute might for merit and
steal by murder what brother has won by
sacrifice, has come to an end in the master-mur-
derer of Berlin. The brotherhood began in
Babylon, whose site the free soldiers of Britain
have just liberated from the petty, salacious
Caesarlsm of the Sultan; it's has reared its dra-
gon-head in the mother cities of mankind from
Thebes and Rome to the Paris of Napoleon. and
now it perishes in Berlin that boastful mush-
room metropolis, born of modern, money-mak-
ing Caeserlsm which deliberately trafficked IN
human life for the gathering of gold with all
the calculating callousness of a band of slave
traders.
The last of these towering tyrannies, the gain
seeking German Kaiserism was the most igno-
bic. In the piping and commercially propagan-
dist days Of peace the Kaiser was often called
'the first bagman" of his empire And he was
precisely that. It was commercial expansion

With the House of Hohenzollern yanishes a

and beaten army will fall far short of govern
ment by the people. If Hohenzollern is per-
mitted to pretend to reign, he will be a tanned
trimmed and handcuffed Hohenzolern. But the
cry is resounding throughout Germany for re-
public; princes and their families are reported
in hiding; crowds are singing the Marseaise
before the captured palace of the Crown Prince !;
Socialist is German Chancellor; another So
cialist has leaped from prison to the leadership
of revolution in Bavaria; the late masters of
Germany are plainly and hurriedy hiding their
shrunken forms and shattered prestige behind
the hitherto despised ranks of the Social Demo-
cratic party.
Have they sought shelter in time? That is
the critical question of the hour-not only for
Germany but for civilization With an orderly
Socialist Germany the outside world could treat
and feel some security in its pledges. But a
Jacobin Germany would be as uncertain as an
Imperial Germany-and under present circum-
stances far more menacing.
At all events, the formidable and threatening
form of what Kiping calls "the old king has
now wholly disappeared from Europe. There is

the Wilson policy has already triumphed.
The Kaiser and that jingling jingo, his son
and heir, have given up, not merely the imperial
crown branded upon the forehead of William the
Stupid by Bismarck, but the crown of Prussia
as well. 1t is now question whether the Prus-
SLAMS will establish constitutional monarchy
with docile and biddable Hohenzollern for
their chief hired man" or found republic. If
the latter course is TAKEN it is difficult to see
how any Of the petty German princes can sur
vive the storm The hoofs will go with the hide.
As for power, few of them have enjoyed much.
It was long ago taken from them either by the
aggressive and imperious House of Hohenzollern
in the name of the Empire, or by their own peo-
pie who paid little respect to monarchs who will
lingly walked second or fifth or tenth to the
Kings of Prussia.
The German people will be greatly the gamers
if they can rid themselves of the burdensome
costs of their various courts. The local courts
have never paid for their keep since the days
of the Empire, and would have been cashiered
by not few of the smaller States if they had
not enjoyed the powerful support of the imperial
house. Germans have generally believed that
the Empire paid. But that belief has been
pretty well blown to pieces by the present disas-
trous war
And the chief business, the great and essen
tial merit, the only possible excuse, for this
paint-new, gold-plated, gold-grubbing Empire of
Iget-rich-quick Germany was that it paid To
