GERMANY FEARS
ARMY COLLAPSE
Panic SeiZes People as RumOrs

Empire.
LEADERS MAKE APPEAL

PerilOus, but More Sacri-
fices Are Needed.
LEADERS MAKE APPEAL

LONDON. Sept l. Germany appar-
emily Is in a state of panic over the con-
tinued successes OF the allied forces on
the western front since July IS. when
the present offensive was started. which
still shows no signs of slackening.
Dispatches coming out of Germany
through Amsterdam. which remains In
close touch with Germany despite the
war, and other information show that a
state OF apprehension exists and that the
leaders of the country almost daily are
counselling the people to be calm. that
no real military danger exists, but fur
ther Sacrifices by the people will be
necessary II the advances OF the enemies
Of Germany are to be stopped.
Wild rumors are finding expression
throughout the country. One is that
Field Marshal Hndenburg has COM
mitted suicide; another that the whole
| German army has gone over to the
Anglo-French forces: still another that
the British fleet has attacked and de-
stroyed Helgpland. These rumors have
| become so pronounced in the Essen dis
| trict-the munitions section OF Germany
that the commandant of that town has
, issued a proclamation to the people adj
vising them not to believe these "eXtrav-
| agant rumors."
Won Hertling Is Gloomy.
| Field Marshal Won Hindenburg has
seized upon the opportunity OF the birth
day OF Count Won Hertling, the German
! Imperial Chancellor. to send a congratu-
latory telegram which warns the people
OF the serious trend OF the war at pres
ent, but assures them that victory finally
will come to German arms.
Count Won Hertling takes more
gloomy view of the situation. for yes
terday he addressed a delegation OF the
representatives OF the Catholic Students
Union, telling of the sacrifices OF blood
and treasure from which hardly any
family had been spared. and adding
! these significant words: There are
! difficulties of food and clothing. and
manifold prvations. at the present time
and ] am anxious concerning the out
| look for the future"
Even the war correspondents at the
front have been called upon to reassure
the people that the battle Is not going
against Germany according to, an Asso-
ciated Press despatch from Amsterdam
Here again the correspondents assure
the German public that the Allies have
gained nothing except an arid waste.
, all due to the strategy of the German
commanders in ordering the retreat.
In his birthday telegram to Count Won

LENINE REGARDED
AS GERMAN AGENT
Kaiser GaUe Him Safe Con-
duct to Stricken Nation.

In career that encompassed only n
brief period OF meteoric dictatorship
over PROSTATE people Nikolai Lenine
wrote himself into world history as a
colossal architect OF ruin Whether
actually merely a fanatic or Socialist
dreamer, bS- far the greater part OF the
world viewed him as a paid agent OF
the German militaristic machine, into
whose hands his consistent, never
swerving course surrendered the Rus
sian people in shame and degra dation.
The ruin that now is Russias was
built upon the fantast!cally weird ideas
OF the wandering Socialist who had
lodged about the world for years fear
ful of the wrath of the then Russian
Car, who had exiled him. New York knew
him slightly. or at least that part Of
New York which seeks its news from
the pages of Socialist newspapers
printed in Russian on presses in East
Side cellars. But Paris. Berlin, Stock
holm and other centres for piping radi-
cal. international Socialists" and some
times. secretly though, even the cities
of Russia saw more OF him than this
side OF the world.
1t was out of the obscurity OF pollti-
cal exile that I.enine-a name used to
been driven out of Russia-rode in a
! sealed car across Germany from Swift
zerland and into Russia at the moment
when the power OF Kerensky first was
beginning to display signs OF waning.
To the world the: stood aghast at the
horrors being inflicted by Germany upon
the people Lenine and his followers in
| sisted they were trying to save. the fact
that Germany gave Lenine safe con-
| duct into his own country spelled sus-
picion.
Denounced by Diplomats.
The diplomatic corps OF the allied
Powers unitedly denounced him as a
pro-German agent and propagandist
| from the moment his name frst ap-
peared among those who had flung
themselves into the work OF building
| the Russian democracy out OF the wreck
Of the recently overthrown monarchy.
There were those even then. however.
who discounted that action as bunder
| on the part OF tine allied diplomatists.

doubt OF the fact that Lenine possessed

UNCLE SAM AND JOHN BULL WILL
BE FAST FRIENDS AFTER THE WAR

Americas soldiers are finding their
British comrades in arms bully good
fellows. And likewise, the British
Tommy has discovered that every Am
erican Isn't a rich braggart, forever talk
ing odlous comparisons between what
he finds on this side OF the Atlantic
with what he has at home.
We've both been rather unfortnn-
ate in the past In the types that have
visited the others country" said a flne,
two-1sted British soldier, who Is an in
structor In one OF the training schools
for American officers In France.

was a chlnless fOp, with Just enough
physical strength to lift a cup OF tea

ION the other hand, q lot OF Ameri-

give us a wrong impression Of your

WOMEN AND WAR SACRIFICE.
To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Sir-Permit a mere woman TO voice
her sentiments, through your valuable
pages, on a suggestion TO the women
Of cur State. As women we play
great part In this war Of nations for
democracy, but are we really doing all
that Is necessary; or are we really sac
rlncins anythng-for war means sacri-
1ce? Why should we. just because we
are women, shrink from it2
It's very beautiful to know that we
are doing a lot to help In buying LIB
erty Bonds, War Savings Stamps and
helping with Red Cross work, Hoover
izlng, etc; but why not be also will
ing 10 have our husbands offer them
selves 10 the government for service In
any capacity In which they can help.
our country calls for men, It has a
great need for them; aud why should
we have them hide behind the marriage
tie when we are able 10 work and
supnort ourselves and our children as
well?
There IA nothing TO prevent a healthy
woman In these days from earning a
salary large enough to support herself.
and her children as well: that Is, If
she be patriotic enough to do 50. When
we think Of Joan Of Arc, OF France,
and the noble women OF Russia who
have given their lives for a principle,
why should we sit at home and take
the goods that the gods bring us, while
many men are giving their lives and
others daily facing a life that's worse
than death, so that we might cit In
comfort and case at home.
We are reading daily Of mothers who
are giving up four and i've sons to
our country. Why should we younger
women be a stumbling block In our
husbands way when they are anxious
60 do what they can for their country
and we are well able 10 work In their
places.
"The hand that rocks the cradle IS
the hand that rules the world truly
but The hand that takes the pay envel-
ope plays a great part IN making the
world safe for democracy.
Personally, / am willing 10 support
