"The Rule of Might
what is the German Nation Dying
forsr

The Germans once for all lost the
war in the battle of the Marne in 1914,
and they might as well have admitted
defeat then and there. since the
world would never permit Germany s
triumph or the realization OF her war
aims, which are so deadly to progress,
civilization and humanity. says X. L.
krause. in What Is the German Ma
tion Dying For"
The Enchanting Of the war was so
enormous a crime that II may not go
unavenged- Not to demand adequate
retribution would be a sin against the
millions who have suffered infinite
misery. Everything possible must be
done to bring the guilty ones to ac-
count The most fearful penalty of
all must be inflicted upon the imperial
family, the family of monsters whom.
when they thought the hour propiti-
Gus for their predatory expedition. did
not shrink from sacrificing to their
mad and bloody lust the peace and
happiness of the whole of civilized
humanity. They must be punished in
such a way that the people may wit
ness their punishment daily. The
people must exact their own retribu-
ton. Every widow whose husband is
on the monsters conscience. every
orphan must look upon their degrade
ton. And when they will finally have
perished from OF the face of the
earth. they will not have atoned for
even perceptible part Of all the woe

Living the Creative Life.

One of the great questions in con-
nection with the successful prosecu-
ton of the war. as well as the re-
construction period which must follow
the ultimate peace negotiations. is
that of placing the human race upon
plane of higher efficiency. Joseph
II. Appel tells the story of a success
full retail business man. who has con-
structed an organization which in
cludes more than 1900 persons in his
book Living the Creative Life"
The book is not blemished with the
customary unusual or technical
phrases and terms common to such
works, but is a life program along
physical and mental lines. told in a
manner which is comprehensive TO
the average American, and the points
therein are set forth with a clearness
which marks it as a valuable literary
work as well as a practical creed
which all may follow. 1t is common

women who are ambitious. Living

Quiet and Wonderful Revolution.

In 1918 Maryland found itself in the
condition OF family that had lived
recklessly and without a plan. name
ly, in a state of chronic poverty. In
its distress it called in a doctor of
accounts and finance. who reported,
after a careful inquiry, that the state
was without cash TO pay its bills and,
in addition, owed large sums to State
hospitals, training schools and other
institutions, making a total deficit of

Gov. Harrington selected the commits

THE CALL OF THE LAND.

The joy Of working on the land
and particularly in some of the more
highly specialized branches OF agri-
culture. is proving Irresistible to
English women of the educated
class. Under the auspices of one

agricultural section of the Women's
Legion, women at the present moment
are performing an extraordinary
variety of farming operations. Miss

An Old Idea in New Dress.

The League of Nations to Enforce
Peace Is a modern phrase, but the
idea is centuries old. Henry ". back
in the sixteenth century, conceived a
plan for the federation of European
states, with a central senate and an
international army and navy sup
ported by all the states, the ultimate
purpose being the settlement Of in
ternational disputes by judicial pro-
cess. The great work OF Hugo Gro
thus, in the first part OF the seven
teenth century. a work that Is the
basis OF international law, looked to-
ward a world court: and later Will
lian Penn. the Quaker. advocated a
congress of the European nations
One of the strongest pleas ever made
Tor world peace was by Kant Ger
many's greatest philosopher, a CEN
tury and a quarter ago. Kant's plea
Is the more remarkable in that he de-
clared that one OF the essentials of
a lasting peace was that the nations
entering into such agreements would
need TO be democracies. This is in
entire harmony with President Will
sons declaration that this war has
become a peoples war. that the peo-
pie must define the terms that shall
end IL and the conditions under
which the world in the future may
preserve peace.
The Holy Alliance. designed to keep
the world at peace after Napoleon's
downfall. was a league of sovereigns
instead of peoples, and despite its
holy name and protestations. is of
unsavory memory. There is little
hope that a league OF nations will
ever secure permanent peace unless
II be the expression of democracy.
A league of nations would not be
complete without Germany. but it
cannot be the German government as
at present constituted The militar-
ist Imperialism of Germany must be
destroyed. The Hohenzollern must go.
When the German people create
new government which shall be re-
sponsible to the people. there is no
reason why that government should
not be received into the league for
the preservation and enforcement Of
peace. This does not mean that Ger

Godfrey Dearmer's PoemA.

With dignity which approaches
grandeur; with simplicity of form
which seems almost austere end
with insight which may be regarded
as par excellence, the war poems of
Geoffrey Dearmer. a young British
soldier-poets, set forth what he has
seen along the Western front as
we'll as at the Dardenelles.
There is no spirit OF the glorifca-
ton in bloodshed in the works of
Mr.. Dearmer; yet he puts before his
reader first of all the battle with all
that a battle of modern war times
means. Feeling and emotion is ever
clearly defined in the various poems.
even to his verses on THE Turkish
Trench Dog" The verses are all
immensely human.

The announcement by the Shipping
Board that the return Of American
troops composing the expediionsry
forces will be accomplished within
three months after it is determined
that they may be safely withdrawn
from the theaters Of war has been
read with considerable amusement by
officials Of the War and Navy De-
partments. When IT Is recalled that
the Transporting Of troops and war
material has required more than one
year Of intensive effort and fully 20
per cent OF the undertaking has been
handled by our allies It is interesting
TO know how the Shipping Board Of
ficials expect to do the Job in three
months. The British and French
have helped US by placing their ships
at our disposal when their actual
needs called for all available tonnage.
American man power was a vital
factor. and our allies very generously
made the transportation problem pos
sible. The return OF our soldiers Will
not be A vital necessity, and prac-
ticaIly all Of the foreign vessels used
in this connection will no longer be
available. Our soldiers, IN the mean
time. will be supplied with the nee
essary food and equipment and VIII
no doubt be content to wait the or
derly progress OF their return as fast
as accommodations are available, but
certainly not within three months
from the beginning OF that operation.
Failure Of officers and the enlisted
nsrsonnel of the First Naval District
to render saIutes will bring punish
mont on the offenders. according to
notice issued by Rear Admiral
Spencer s. Wood. commandant OF the
district. Admiral Wood. in the or
der. states that complaints and re-
ports are so numerous and well su-
thenticated that they show a condi-
ton that does not reflect credit on
the district or on the navy.
The order, as quoted in the Boston
Transcript. requires that "All officers
will. herafter. take the name Of o.
cry individual whom he passes from
whom he receives no salute, or who
he notices is careless in salutinE 9TH
srs. These delinQUents will be re-
ported to their immediate command

once. Owing to the generous regula-
tions in the district regarding liberty
the streets of Boston and other cities
and towns are frequented by many
officers and men in uniform and this
carelessness in the military habit is
very conspicuous. Unless there is q
marked improvement in this matter.

~Htstory of Labor"

The subject ceertainly is one
making wide. popular appeal, for the
work is not a history of unions in
dlvidually, nor Of unionism generally.
1t Is rather a history of labor move
ments and PHILOSOPHERS in America
and gives the reason why they are
not revolutionary like those in other
countries"
I'VE have long had histories OF
manufactures, of commerce and of
finance, but until now we have never
had an adequate history of labor in
the United States The appearance
of this important story in two big
volumes of more than 100 pages is
therefore an important event in the
labor world. Practically every labor
organization in the United States has
contributed material to make this
work possible. and labor men every
where may feel satisfaction in the
result.

| watched you slog down dusty pike,
One OF many, so much alike,
With spirit keen as a breath of flame
Ready TO rise and ready to strike
Whenever the fitting moment came;
Just kid with boyish grin,
Waiting the order to hustle in
And lend your soul to the battle thrill
Cnafraid of the battle din
Or the guns that crashed from hidden hill
| watched you leap to the big advance,
With smile for Fate and its fighting chance,
Sweeping on till the charge was done;
saw your grave slope of France
Where you fell asleep when the fight was won.
Just kid, who had earned his rest
With rifle and helmet above his breast
Who proved, in answer to German ieers
That kid charge a machine-gun nest
Without the training OF forty years
l watched the shadows drifting by
As gray dusk came from a summers skv
And lost winds came from beyond the fight
And | seemed to hear them Groom. and sigh:
Sleep, little dreamer, sleep tonight;
Sleep tonight, for I'm bringing you

And III take them word of the big advance
And how you fought till the game was through
