TWO SIDES oFA SHIELD.

We have traced the history OF the
Prussian ideal government to the pres
ent, and have found that it's very ex-
istence depends upon an aggressive
militarism which must ever conquer
new dominions, or suffer decay and
death. It follows that the American
ideal of governments must in the end
conquer or be conquered. There Is
no truce in this warfare Of ideals.
Lincoln realized that the Union could
pot exist half slave and half free.
The Hohenzollern realizes, and we
must realize, that the world cannot
sxist half in political slavery and half
IN political freedom, half autocracy
Ind half democracy. y
It is fair to ask, however, whether
after all the Prussian ideal of govern
ment may note the best, if wisely ad-
ministered. Human instinct may in
cline all mankind toward individual
freedom, but instincts are not always
safe guides to action. There is no
a priori ground for assuming that the
American ideal of government is SUI
perior to the Prussian ideal, and many
an intelligent German has conscien-
tiously argued that the Prussian Gov
eminent is the most efficient, the
most liberal and the most truly free of
all modern states. Let us in all can
dor consider whether the American
ideal is so good or the Prussian ideal
50 bad that we would shed American
blood to preserve the one and de-
stroy the other.
No fair-minded man will deny that a
government of the Prussian type may
attain the highest efficiency in many
fields of action. With an intelligent
and energetic ruler at the helm. with
centralized control and responsibility,
decisions may be quickly reached and
promptly translated into action by the
orderly teamwork of disciplined peo-
pie. For more than five centuries the
Hohenzollern dynasty has consistent
ly and efficiently progressed toward
the ultimate achievement of a single
ideal, while more liberal governments
have Numbered in confusion. and
through disastrous revolutions and
profound changes of national policy.
To-day Prussianized Germany, hope
lessly outnumbered, holds the world
at bay, counting her military victories
while her enemies count their dis.
astrous blunders. In social legislation,
in municipal government, Germany
gives lessons to the world. In the
application of science to the arts she
has no equal. Autocracy is admitted.
ly efficient, democracy is certainly in
efficient.
When every count in its favor has
been duly recorded. however, the truth
remains that the Prussian ideal Of gov.
eminent is so immoral, so iniquitous
so debasing to the mind and soul OF
man, that it's humiliation becomes the
| supreme duty of the hour. Let us
review the indictments against this
monstrosity of the Hohenzollern in
tellect.

that many of the beneficent features

truly says: "This is the brutal, over
whelming fact which Americans must
face If they wish to learn the sole solu-
ton of the war which will assure to
them, as well as to the rest of the
world, durable peace"
Realizing the vest extent Of her sue

may lead to its undoing, Germany is

OBITUARY.
SHOCKLEY.

W Frank Shockley died at the Cni-
yersitv Hospital, Philadelphia, early Sat
urday morning, March 23, 1918, as the re-
suit Of an operation two days before.
Death came as a shock TO his friends
and acuuaintances, as only relatives and
nearest neighbors knew Of his serious
condition, for though fatally i'll he per-
formed his every day duties with a
thoroughness and painStaking character
site Of his life, his last Saturday having
been spent in attending to his business,
and his last Sunday in the church pew,
his very presence being pathetic to those
who knew him well, pastor included.
He met his death uniinchngly as
true Christian can, his only concern be-
ing that his wife and babies would be
left alone.
As the writer looks back over the life
Of Frank Shockley, she realizes that
Cedar Neck has been the better for his
having hved-true, honest, industrious
faithful, and his example Of Christian
steadfastedness means much to many.
We have lost one near and dear, the
true friend OF our childhood, girlhOOd and
womanhood; one who shared with us
hours of joy and pain, one kind and ten
der, yet stauneh in every principle Of
Frank Shockley was lifelong Democrat
and stood for everything tending to up
life public conditions.
He spent his whole life upon his farm
in Cedar Neck where he lived with his
mother until he married Miss May Ben
nett Of Philadelphia, seven years ago.
Marrying, as he did, late in life, wife
and two baby daughters-one but four
months old-were doubly dear to him.
His funeral was preached, in Cedar
Neck Church on Wednesday March %,
by Rev j. H Gardner. assisted by Rev.
W. w Sharp, of Frederica, a cousin Of
the deceased. The funeral was largely at.
tended by friends from far and near. In

little daughters, and many relatives and |
