GERMAN VIEW OF CHRISTIANITY

Frederick Wilhelm Nietzche was
one of the most noted Of modern
German philosophers. How much
has his philosophy affected the views
and character of the Germans of to.
day? Is not the answer written In
the blood of the women and children,
the old men Of occupied France and
Belgium? Are not the Lusitania vic
tins witnesses to German adoption Of
Nietzche's faith?
Here is his indictment Of Chris
tianity:
With this / conclude, the pro-
nounce my sentence: condemn
Christianity. To me it is the great.
est of all imaginable corruptions. The
church is the great parasite; with
its anemic idea of holiness it drains
life Of all its strength, its love, and
its hope. The other world is the mo-.
tive for the denial Of every reality.
| call Christianity the one great
curse, the one great intrinsic deprav-
ity, the one great instinct is sufficient
ly poisonous, secret, underhand, to
gain its ends. / call it the one i'm.
mortal shame and blemish upon the
human race"

WHERE IT NEVER FADES

1t cannot be that the earth is mans
only abiding place. 1t cannot be that
our life is a mere bubble cast up by
eternity to float moment on its
waves and then sink into nothing
ness. Else why is it that the glori.
GUS aspirations which leap like angels
from the temple Of our hearts are
forever wandering unsatisfied? Why
is 1t that all the stars that hold their
festival around the midnight are set
above the grasp Of our limited facul.
ties, forever hooking us with their
unapproachable glory? And, finally,
why is 1t that bright forms Of human
beauty presented to our view are
taken from us, leaving the thousand
streams of our affections to flow back
In Alpine torrents upon our hearts?
There is a realm where the rainbow
never fades; where the stars will be
spread out before us like islands that
slumber in the ocean; and where the
beautiful things which now pass be.
fore us like shadows will stay in our
presence forever-Geo. d. Prentice.

WHEN OUR SOLDIER BOYS COME
HOME FROM FRANCE.
BY T. M. BORGFORD.

When our soldier boys come home
from France,
They will be met with cheers,
With mothers and fathers dearest
love,
With joy-with smiles and tears.
In wives and sisters embraced arms
Their welcome home again.
And sweethearts, with their charming
eyes,
Will meet them at the train.
When our boys come home from
France,
The battle must be won.
They have fought there, side by side,
Rich and poor mans sons.
Up in the air, amongst the clouds,
Where no man ought to be,
They have faced the cannOn's roar
On land and deep blue sea.
They hoist our dearest flag at front,
With free and noble minds,
Against the drastic devils rule,
Disgrace to all mankind.
They sacrificed their bravest blood,
Both poor and rich mans sons.
And moving forward, step by step,
They stood there till they won.
When eur crippled boys come home
from France,
They must not have to beg.
They will show their broken bones
and arms
And artificial legs.
They knew what they were fighting
for,
Do you? To be sure / am,
They make you believe it was the war
Between Bill and Uncle Sam.
All those millions made in war,
BY grafters here and there,
While millions of boys are giving
their lives.
1t don't look quite so fair.
When soldier boys come home from
France,
They might not-but they might
Level off that profit pile
And give them what Is right.
What they will do with slackers then,
Is mighty hard to say,
They'll probably have no use for
them,
They may not-but they may
Send them over to Kaiser Bill
To drink his beer and wine.
And give them chance to wipe their
face
In the valley of the Rhine.
Whatever you do-you do your best,
Then you are not to blame,
And you can face your God and man
Without the fear Of shame.
Don't you worry, you'll be there,
If you know you have done your
share
When our boys come home from
France.

ENTHUSIASM HIGH
HERE LABOR DAY
EVERY LOCAL UNION REPRE-.
SENTED IN BIG PARADE AND
CELEBRATION.

With every organization in the city
represented among the 900 persons
in line, organized labor of Olympia
celebrated Labor Day last Monday
with the largest parade and greatest
enthusiasm for years. and at the close
of the SPECIAL program at Priest Point
park in the afternoon adopted ring
ing resolutions pledging the heartiest
support of the war Ito carry the con-
fiict to a speedy, triumphant conclu-
sion"
Everybody Joined in the days OBJ
servance with vim and interest. from
the time the band started the parade
at 10 o'clock in the morning, until
Home, Sweet Home" greeted the
dancers at the annual ball at the
Tumwater clubhouse in the evening.
The spirit of the day was evidenced
most concetely in the resolutions:
Whereas, Labor Day is the spe-
cial holiday of working men and
women upon which to celebrate their
share of the worlds tasks; and,
Whereas, Our common task for
the moment has become the abolition
of autocracy and tyranny; and,
whereas The men and women
who toll in shops and factories, in
mines and mills, in fields and on the
aterways, are but the driving power
behind the men in khaki and blue
'ocer there to whom falls the greater
burden of the conflict. Therefore,
be it
Resolved, That this mass meeting
of workers reassure their brothers
and comrades on the firing lines of
democracy that we are sparing no
effort of muscle or money, so that
their sacrifice shall not be in vain;
and We give further assurance that
there will be an abundance Of the
goods, ships, munitions and arma-
ments of war SO urgently needed to
umphant conclusion"
A large American flag headed the
mornings parade, which was led by
the Musicians Union band, the va
rious local unions falling in line ac-
cording to schedule. Starting at Sew
enth and Adams, the marchers pa
raded through the business section,
each local carrying service flags in
dicative of the participation of its
members in the war or banner ex-
pressive Of their sentiments.
Then all joined in the big picnic
dinner at Priest Point park at noon
and the formal exercises in the at
ternoon at which Joseph Collins, a
soldier recently from the trenches in
France, presided. The chief address
of the afternoon was delivered by,
George F.. Cotterill. Governor Lister
making a short talk. Mr.. Cotterill's
address in full appears on this page.
The speaker digressed from the sub,
ject of his speech at one point to
uay compliment to Louis Post. who
delivered the Labor Day address in
Seattle.
The formal exercises opened with
the reading Of the presidents Labor
Day message by Chairman Collins and
an original poem, when the Boys
Come Home from France" by T. M.
Borgford, an employee of the ship
yards. and the rest of the afternoon
was spent in playing various sports,
for which Thrift Stamps were offered
for rizes.

ut would be better" Favre rejoined,
''to give you the whole city. That would
be more to the point and simpler. How
could you expect a French Assembly to
deliberate under Prussian cannon? That
is another proposition which I cannot
undertake to report to my government"
Favre then suggested abandoning the
idea of the naturalization of Paris. He
said the Assembly could be called to
Tours. where the government was al
ready situated

in that case it is agreed, according to
what was said yesterday, that we shall

hold"

You admit, thereby Favre said
that if you consult the Inhabitants. thew
will be unanimous in rejecting you."
Il know that perfectly" Bismarck
answered. 1--WE shall not please them.
but we do not include them among the
electors you will consult, since we intend
to govern these districts absolutely"
These were the conditions the Govern
ment of National Defence refused to
accept at the end of September But
three months later starvation had
brought France to her knees, and after
five days of negotiation between Bis
marck and Favre an armistice was
signed on January 2S, with the declared
object of permitting an election to be
held in France to choose a National AS
sembly which should decide whether the
war should be continued or on what con-
ditlons peace should be made

put on half rations and more and more
obliged to starve, that ought, I think, to
work. 1t is like fiogging. When it is
administered continuously it is not felt
so much. But when it is suspended for
time and then another dose inflicted, it
hurts. I know that from the criminal
courts, where was employed.''
"The Chancellor" according to Dir.
Moritz Busch, in his "secret pages" of
the history Of Bismarck, twas guided by
the principle that the civil population
must suffer by the war in order to render
them the more disposed to peace"
Busch, by his own account, had "offi-
cial and private intercourse with the
great Chancellor" for more than quar-
ter of century, including the period Of
the Franco-Prussian War.
Theirs, in the meanwhile, had made a
tour of the courts of European the hope
Of securing mediation by neutrals. He
found plenty of sympathy, but no
thought Of help, and in November he
took up direct negotiations with Bis
marck.
At first there seemed probability
that an armistice of twenty-five days
would be arranged, with the provision
that Paris should be supplied with food
during that time. Bismarck in the be-
ginning raised no objections, but after
ward refused to allow any food to be
sent to the starving city, and this refusal
on his part once more brought the nego-
tiations to an end.
With a few scattered and half-armcd
armies being defeated in detail in the
field, and the population of Paris being
reduced to diet of rats and being MUIR
dered by the German guns as they sought
to dig potatoes from the frozen ground
where they had been buried in the sub
urbs Of the city, France held out until
January %, 1871, when Favre once more
sought Bismarck.
New-York tribune., 1918-11-10
bismarck as
~ the Conqueror

'But Nj. de Bismarck would listen to
nothing. His language was impetuous,
almost passionate, and his tone was
harsh. 1t was easy to see that he was
under the influence Of violent feelings
hostile to our deliberations | had no
difficulty in understanding this, because
/ knew that the evening before he had
received the news Of the dispatch Of Lord
Granville. l was in no way surprised to
hear him exclaim with furious gesture:
81 see quite we'll that you have no
other idea than that of beginning the
campaign again. You will have in that
the support and advice Of your good
friends, the English"
This was in relation to the question of
indemnity. Bismarck had at first in
sisted on $1,000, 900 .00O But the French
delegates protested, and they were sup
ported by England, Lord Granville send
ing telegram of protest in the name of
the British government to the British
representative at Versailles. The in
demnity was finally reduced to $1,000,
100000.
Favre continues
Il stopped him and asked him what he
meant. I combated for, perhaps, the
twentieth time his pretended apprehen-
sions. l added that if we found friends
in Europe it was certainly to him that
we owed them This piece of sarcasm
was probably lost on Bismarck.
Bismarck submitted certain conditions
in connection with the payment of the in
demnity and named the people to whom
the carrying out Of the scheme would be
lntrusted by Germany. Theirs objected
to the conditions and wanted to consult

to begin on the ratification Of the treaty,

be evacuated at that TIME, and the troops
in the other departments to be gradually
withdrawn as tho indemnity was paid.
4. The German troops to be main

6. Prisoners of war to be Immediately

cation of this treaty.
8. The administration Of the depart
ments occupied by German troops to be
intrusted to French officials under con-
troll of the chiefs of the German corps
of occupation.
The treaty was negotiated OF the part
Of France by Theirs and Favre. The
elections for new National Assembly
that the armstice had provided for were
held on February 8, and the assembly
quickly met at Tours and voted for peace.
Theirs and Favre went again to Ver-
sailles and met Bismarck on February 81.
With characteristic brutality the Chan
cellor whistled the "Halali" and re-
marked to his staff, "This, gentlemen, is
the death of the beast"
Favre wrote of the negotiations, which
extended over five days: eve found him
particularly excited On Saturday morn
ing. His reception was constrained and
almost supercilious. He showed himself
more than impatient He rebuked NJ.
Theirs for returning to topics that had
already been debated and settled. Moth
ing, however, was more justihable on the
part of M. Theirs. He had the right to
defend the interests Of his country and
he discharged that duty in manner to
which the Chancellor had no ground for
taking offence.

THAT Other Meeting
l. at Versailles

The meeting took place at Versailles,
where, on January 18, in the Hall of
Mirrors, King William of Prussia had
been proclaimed German Emperor.
In the first meeting between Favre
and Bismarck in September the German
Chancellor had demanded the surrender
of Strassburg, which was at that time
still holding out.
''The King" Bismarck told Favre, "ac-
cepts an armistice under the conditions
and with the object agreed upon between
us. AS told you, we demand the occu-
patton of all the fortresses besieged in
the Vosges and the occupation of Strass-
burg, with the surrender of the garrison
as prisoners Of war;
Favre interrupted him. Il promised
to report to my government all my con-
versation with your excellency," he
said. ~ do not know, however, that I
shall have the courage to convey to them
what you have just told me. The garri-
son Of Strassburg have evoked the ad-
miration of the world by their herosm.
To surrender the garrison voluntarily
as prisoners of war would be an act of
cowardice which no man of spirit would
advise"
II am not Of your opinion" Bismarck
replied "My reason is very simple.
Strassburg is exhausted We have only
to make final assault to capture it. If
we cannot come to an understanding the
place will certainly be in our hands by
Friday, and the garrison will be ours
Then" said Favre, "lct US set that
