Germany Learning Through Defeat.
Seattle TimeS.)

Seattle Times.)
 Even the official German mind has been enlighten- ed by defeat. Failure to dominate the liberal nations of the world, failure to win which it deliberate ly provoked failure to impose "Kultur' upon man. kind-these things have exercised a profound and salutary effect upon the thought of responsible men in the empire.
 Witness the statement of Von Bethmann-H Hollweg former Imperial Chancellor: Above all, we must by the sins of general behavior we have con- tributed to the warke tension which filled the air for the last few years"
 This admission from who promoted the spirit and devised the policies that were respon- sible in great measure for the "warlike tension in the Old World.
 Von Bethmann- -Holweg sword-rattler a -hreather disciple of the blood and ron' pol ices of Bismarck. Like his master he believed in Germanys destiny to spread it's influence all over the world He subscribed, officially at least, to the who proclaimed military might the only right which nations need recognize.
 The former Chancellor alludes to these as deficiencies of national character" The phrase is singuary felicitous. It sums up in a nutshell the trouble that Germanys and which drove it on- ward and the sacrifice of its manhood by the hundreds of thousands.
 It was correct these "defciences' that America broke with German autocracy. It was to prevent the triumph of those whose vision had been distorted by overong worship before false atars of thought that dom.
 From defeat, Germany derive valuable lessons, if it will It learn those lessons if it is speed fly regain its place in the circle of world states whose policies trusted and whose people not feared by all their neighbors.

DULL WIT OR UNCALLED- FOR SARCASM.

The Associated Press sends word to the Alaska pa pers that the Washington City correspondent of the Seattle Post lntelligencer had wired his paper that the Conference of Governors next year wanted to meet in Alaska in order to get as away from Washington as possble-oe- cause, he said, the Cabinet officers took up most of their time this year.
 That is either very dull wit or uncaled-for sar- casm. If Cabinet officers took up great deal of the Governors time it is safe to that they invited to do so matter what MT. Post-intel- lgencer Washing Correspondent might to the contrary.
 The Post-Inteigencer shows signs of returning to that old school of partisan Journalism which gray headed associate with their childhood-the school which required partisan newspaper to miss no op- portunty denounce those of opposite political faith to condone praise all of it's own party Most of newspapers of that school have reformed been rel egated to obscure position silently taken to the newspaper graveyard with the consent of newspaper patrons.

Bank clearngs in twenty-seven leading cities of the United States and Canada for the week just end ed again show Seattle away up among the leaders in the percentage of increase over the corresponding week of last year. her total clearngs ping $36,334, GOO and her increase being 61 per cent
 Gratifying as these fgres are as demonstrating that Seattle has maintained her rate of progress ing the year. that satisfaction is enhanced by the temptation of the figures for the last eleven months The first eleven months of 1917 recorded clearngs $,O41,764,416 This year the same months record total of $1,686,646612 increase of $644,S82,196 The year of 1917 showed average daily increase in bank cearings of little more than a million dol lars 1916, but already this years figures reveal a daily average increase of more than double that 
 And further interest in the perusal of these statis ties is to observe the position Seattle occupies in relation to other cities which. until a short time ago. uniformly ahead of her. A line drawn directly from Chicago reveals that financially Se atte is the largest and most important city between that line and the northern boundary of the United States, having passed in magnitude of business the cities of Minneapolis.

 It is apparent that the final month of the year will increase still further the prosperous showing of this city for 1918 and there plenty evidence that the pace will not sacken the newly opened era of na- tonal prosperity advances.
