traffic revenues on Ger
man railroads in the third war year
show an increase of 5.3 per cent over
the record figure of the last twelve
months of peace august, 1913-July,
1910, according to the Norddeutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung. In the first war
year revenues fell off 32.1 per cent,
and in the second war year q per

yielded an increase of per cent on
the record figure reached in the year
ending July 81, 1914. These figures
include the receipts from military
traffic, which, it is declared, taking
the average Of the three years, form
ed only an eighth part Of the total
railroad income.
The revenues for the month of

ord Robert Says That the German
People Have Set Up for Themselves
a Craven Image of the Kaiser, and
in the Name of That Image Perpe
trate Cruelties Beyond Belief
(By Associated Press)

| London, Jan. 12.-"Thc fundamen-
tai evil of Germany today is ldola-
try" SAID Lord Robert Cecil in a
statement for the Associated Press
today. "They have set up for them
selves a craven image, just as truly
as did the worshippers OF Baal
against whom the prophets of the
Bible preached.
"Germany's idol is the state. They
place the state above religion, above
! morality, above all laws Of God or
Man. They believe that any act is
justified which advances the inter
ests of the German State, however
base that act may be, however i'm
moral inconsiderate of the lawful
rights of others.
lotto Kahn, himself a German by
origin, mas defined this State-idolatry
as the demoniacal obsession of pow
er-worship and wold-dominion'
This idolatry is at the bottom ot
our whole fight against Germany. it
| the secret VI the whole revolving
| list of outrages and atrocities which
| Germany has committed against the
world. The violation of Belgium, the
Armenian atrocities, the unspeak-
able horrors of submarine warfare,
all these are the outcome of a creed
which holds that no laws of morality
are binding when the defense of the
state-idol is at stake.
"The results Of this violating Of the
foundations Of morality by Germany
! are bound to be colossal and far
reaching. They mean the degeneracy
Of the whole German structure, aad
the effects are already seen in the
wave of crime and immortality which
/ is sweeping over Germany. SO long
as the governing classes are infected
with this doctrine there is no limit
to the wickedness and cruelty which
will be put into execution. 1t means
the undermining ultimately Of the
whole fabric of their civilization. This
is what President Wilson has fore
seen. This is a reason for the deter
mination Of President Wilson and the
leaders of the Allies on both sides Of

is a delusion as far as the actual gov
elnment of England is concerned, and
believe that the British people as
a whole, including Lord Lansdowne
himself, are more determined than

conclusion.

per cent, and of AL per cent, as COM
pared with August, 1913, the last cor
responding month of peace. Freight
traffic rose 11.6 per cent, as compar-
ed with August, 1916, and 19.1 per
cent as against 1913.
