Though Mr.. Patrick had paid 50 for

When an American is told that any
thing is impossible his impulse is to
try to do it without delay. For this
reason no one will be astonished,
though everyone will be interested, in,
the story of member Of the Ameri-.
can Aviation corps in France who was
disciplined by having his machine ia
ken away from him temporarily be-
cause he had used it in looping the
Ioop-a dangerous evolution, on ac-,
count of its peril forbidden to be at
tempted in this machine. While, "well
up in the blue" the aviator had start
ed to perform the feat and made five
graceful loops in descending to the
ground His commanding officer clos
ed his reprimand by asking. "Why did.
you do it," and the aviator replied, "a
Frenchman told me it could not be,
DONE" 1t was not unnatural that this
explanation made a favorable impress,
sion on the officer, and that he related

The Friday meetings of the Red Cross
were of unusual interest. In response to
the request that all gauze workers make
every effort to keep the dressings free
from lint many wash dresses and aprons
were worn. Hooks were provided for
garments in the clipping room An afghan
was displayed and greatly admired. The
center was formed by an American flag,
12tyl8 inches, knit by Mrs. A. E. Trundy.
This is the fifth afghan completed A
letter from Boston headquarters compli-
mented' past shipments and requested that
in future only white clippings be used
for comfort pillows. The covers are also
to be of white material, experience hav-
ing shown that colored cottons run"
when wet. A local appeal is therefore
made for quantity of white cloth for the
comfort and ring pillows Unless this
material is provided it will be impossible
to continue making these needed sup
plies. Following the announcement that
the funds were low it was voted to hold
series of card parties in the Red Cross
Rooms. February 18th was set for the
date of the first and Mrs. c. N. Meyers,
Mrs. A. B. Pendleton and Miss Margaret
Pendleton volunteered to act as hostesses.
The evening was devoted to picking
oakum. Twenty-seven were present.

The Caste System in Germany

Published State Council of Defense

They attempt to tame men as they
attempt to tame animals" says Lieb-
knecht.
A civilian, when he has to deal with
an officer, is in even worse plight. At

After his army service, the work
man, back at his job, has longer
hours and poorer pay than almost any
other European workingman. AS re-
suit, SIS per cent of the wOrkmen's
families in Berlin live in a single room,
according to Ambassador Gerard.
If the laborer does not like his
wages of course he can strike, but he
must not forget that the Kaiser once
proposed, on his own initiative, law
making strikes punishable by three to
five years of penal SerVitude. Against
sickness, unemployment, and desti-
tuition in old age the government
ShreWdly protects him, in part, Of
course, at his own expense. He will
have to pay large share of his slen~
der savings into the governments in
Surance fund-and, if he should ever
leave the country, he will lose all he
has paid in! There's a reason! 1t is
an indirect method of restoring Serf-
dom and of imprisOning the German
within the bounds of his own country,
SO that he and his children may fur
nish the Kaiser generous supply OF
cannon fodder.
The German-American who loves
freedom and the blessings of peace
cannot therefore love a system, which
is the deadly foe of both. ''Kultur",
says a celebrated German writer,
Thomas Mann, "is spiritual Organi-
zation of the world, which does not
exclude bloody savagery. 1t raises the
demOnic to sublimity. 1t is above mo-
rality, reason and science" Since this
picture of German Imperialism is only
too true, is it astonishing that it holds
out little attraction to anyone who
knows it for what it is. Is it astOnish-
ing that many a German-AmeriCan,
who has gone back to pass his old age
in the fatherland which he had left as
a youth has found life there so mar
row and freedom so restricted that
he has after a short time come back
again to a land where the common man
enjoys full political liberty and finds
every business and social opportunity
open to him and his children?
