WOMEN MAKE CAS-
Masks FOR ARMY

WASHINGTON, June i.-Women who.
as wives, mothers, and sisters OF sol
diers have a deep realization OF the
necessity for painstaking care in this
work, make the gas masks for the
American army.
Somewhere In the United States" at
plant whose location for obvious rea-
sons is not made public, thousands OF
them are engaged in the delicate and
intricate operations, and in conducting
tests on the finished products. They
have been organized in military fash
ion, and specially selected for the work.
1T soon became apparent that the
type of women needed could not be
secured through the ordinary chan
nels of employment" says statement
of the Gas Defense service, that sec
ton of the surgeon generals office
which controls the manufacture" and
men were sent to localities display
ing service flags to secure the services
of women vitality interested, who
would be most loyal in their work,
and extremely anxious to send out per-
feet gas-masks.''

tions, and making sure that the finished
mask will be impervious to gas re-
operations. Schools were established
and the women selected, were trained in
special courses until they became profit
cient in all the divisions of the task,
the statement adds.
After that they were assembled in
divisions, companies. platoons, and
squads, under women leaders, and the
defense service says that the method
produced unusual results both in dis
cipline and control of production.
Friendly rivalry as to the quantity
and quality of output is carried on
between the different companies"
Soldiers who have experienced the
horrors of being 'gassed" have lee

them just how the deadly fumes.

Too many years have come and gone
Since first I saw the morning light.

I am too old to join the line.

But / am not too old to give.
I am not yet so old that l
Have drifted from the world apart
I still can hear the helpless cry,
And mercy still can reach my heart
I still can share from day to day
The burden that our youth must
bear.
And 1 thank God that / can say
The Red Cross is my symbol there.

Across the shell-torn Flanders

I may not go where troops advance
And deaths grim terrors are re-

But I can hear the helpless call.
And I can serve them while live;
And 1 thank God that through 1t all

The moral and religious ideas of
the Germany of today have been
shaped to a remarkable extent by two
Germans of the last generation
Friedrich Nietzsche and Hermann Won
Treitschke. To know what seed they
sowed is to understand much of the
spirit which has produced this war.
Friedrich Nietzsche was poet who
wrote prose, much Of it in the manner
of the Old Testament-bu in very
different spirit. He starts by assum-
ing that belief in God and in a flu
ture life is as absurd for grown man
as belief in Santa Claus, and by re
jecting as not merely false but dan
gerous the teachings of Christianity
based upon the Golden Rule.
What, then, is the rule by which
man should live? He answers by di-
viding man into two great classes, the
Slaves Cor the "herd"), and the
masters The former are the over
whelming majority of human beings
the plain people. The latter are a
select few, the highly gifted. The for
mer are born to be ruled, the latter to
rule. For the former the old Chris

may be good enough They are of no
account anyway, end what they do or
do not do is matter of no Importance.
The masters, on the other hand, are
above all ordinary standards of right
and wrong. They may commit any
cruelty, permit themselves any breach
of faith, treachery, or any other crime,
if these are needed to gain and keep
power over the herd" For the
higher man. engaged in bringing his
fellowmen under the whip of his will
"everything is allowed"
The popularity of NietZsche's doc
trines in Germany is enormous. We
can easily see how they would play
into the hands of the governing class,
each member of which can think of
himself as by right a master" and
as such relieved of all moral Obliga-
tons to the herd" beneath him. Of
late the herd" have begun to be in
fected with them also, shaping them,
of course, so as not to interfere with
individual self-respect. KunO Francke,
Professor of German at Harvard Uni
versity, wrote some years ago, "In
moral theory the average German of
today is consciously or not follower
of Nietzsche" And certainly Metz
sche, at the lowest calculation, has in
the course Of a single generation in
fuenced the German people as no Eng
lish writer in any century has infiu-
enced the beliefs of the English
speaking world.
The second prophet of modern Ger
many has very different MESSAGE.
Nietzsche is interested only in the in
dividual, the exceptionally gifted in
dividual, of course. On the other hand
Treitschke, his rival for favor in mod
ern Germany, cares solely for the
State The individual is under obli-
CATION to obey without question the
will of the State. That is what he
