Cause and Effect

Wheat crop breaks all records" that is the glad word from the U. s. A. Vienna cuts bread ration; Berlin cuts meat ra- ton; this is the gloomy word from the central powers And what Is the effect of these widely divergent messages upon the battle line in France? To the allies this re- inforcement from mother earth comes like a new army while to the Germans 1t comes like foe from the rear. Looking behind them from their newly won lines in Picardy and Flanders, the Germans can see only the Austrian retreat, discomfort at home, hatred and smothered rebellion in their newly conquered provinces and no reserves at all looking back from their grim and gallant defense lines the allies see a proud, devoted and hopeful people; they see ships by the thousands dotting the foam; they see line after line of grand English troops march ing from Calais they see mighty flow ot tall, thin, eager men from over the seas with the reflected glory of the stars and stripes in their eagle eyes; they see vast stores of wheat and corn and beef and bat tie supplies What will be the inevitable, immutable, implacable result? The turn of the tideI And those waves of war, ever turning, piling backward, will never stop their flow until their crimson crests shall lap the pillars of the Brandenburg gate of Berlin.

Bold Words

While this column pays but little atten- ton to all the discomfort and rebellion stuff that is being circulated lately by the tons under the label of having come out of Ger many and Austria, yet this gem printed in Vorwaerts, one of the great papers of Ger many, and credited to Deputy Haase in a speech he made recently in the reischstag, cannot be printed or reproduced often enough throughout Christendom. Haase, in his speech, was making bitter attack upon Won Hertling, the chancellor, Won Kuehlmann the foreign secretary, and Won Payer, the vice chancellor, and he described these three civil leaders of the German em- pire as fig leaves used to hide the naked ness of the military government And then he asked that dumb, hopeless, slave driven reischstag, why is not Won Luden- dorff made the chancellor?" This IS bold ness and plain speaking undreamed of in Germany And it is bold printing, too. Vorwaerts snapped shackle when it sent this article to the press This speech and its circulation has more weight with this column as indicating real unrest and re- sentiment in Germany than anything that has come out of that empire since the be- ginning of the war It is mere than straw, showing the way of the wind; it is a weather vane on a high steeple where all men may see.
