1t was extremely inconsderate in Bulgaria and
Turkey ignore Colonel Roosevelt so far as to sur
render Internationally without waiting for a formal
declaration of hostilities from the United States
The Colonel insisted in his ipse dixit manner that
the Washington Government could not be true to
the countrys loyal to the Allies, could not
play worthy part in the conflict make American
power and influence count for their due unless it de-
clared war upon Bulgaria and Turkey without the
loss of an hour"
1t seemed never to occur to him that in effect we
were waging potent upon the lesser as we'll as
the greater members of the Quadruple Alliance in
every blow we struck the Western front and in
our every act Of assistance to the Entente nations
1t seemed, moreover, never to occur to the Colonel
that the Washington Government was employing
keen and silent weapons of diplomacy as we'll as
laundering military blows and that like Foch in the
field it knew the peculiar value of thanking move
mens distinguished from frontal attacks Despite
the oracle of Oyster Bay the Bulgars and Turks
cumbed, and Austria swiftly followed There were
no reservations to their surrender; it uncondi-
tonal, just as Germany's will be.
What marvels do see! The war has been won
contrary to Teddy's advice The has risen with
out Chandeliers crow.

The ChiUary of the Turks.

There is no doubt of the justice and moral
necessity of plotting the Turks rule out Of
Europe. Yet it is worth noting, as a corre-
spondent observes, that "the soldiers who are
driving him into seclusion in Anatolia like him
better than any OF his allies"
Mr.. Masefeld astonished an Atlanta audience
some months ago when. in the course of lee
ture on GallipoIi, he told of the British leaving
little gifts for the Turkish soldiers who were
to take possession of the trenches abandoned by
the Ententes ill-starred expedition: the Turk had
fought so fairly that the British of sports
manship instinctivey sought to express apprecia-
ton. Many witnesses bear like testimony to his
chivalry as a warrior. "He poisoned no wells, -
they remind as, violated flag of truce, used
liquid fire poison gas In combat he
proved a thousand times humane than the
Hun, and in all military dealings a thousand
times more honorable.
But strangely enough when he faced helpless
civilian populations he became a monster after
the Huns heart. Some students of the Turk
attempt to explain his horrible ca1ousness In
massacring the Armenians by pointing out that
for centuries his fathers have been prosecuting
Christians so that now he acts by sheer habit
This construction of the case, discriminating as it
is for the Turks of the past, cannot absolve those
of today. True, there is more extenuation for the
barbarty of this people than for the barbarity of
the PTussians, but not enough to warrant the
civilized world in leaving them any chance for flu
ture outrages.
Confined to their ancestral and rightful do
main, the Turks in time may work out destiny
that will be worthy of their better traits; indeed
they may come to feel the regenerating impulse
of new world order. But first of all they should
be made powerless for future harm.
In the last analysis, the only argument the Re-
publicans have for their election is desire to be
the inside looking out.

How much greater than generally COM
puted are Americas resources of available wealth
is Indicated by the fact that the subscription to the
Fourth Liberty Loan exceeded by more than eight
hundred million dollars the colossal sum of six bill
lions which was asked. That excess itelf authori-
ties point out, is nearly three times great as
the proceeds of any public loan raised in a single
operation prior to this war" 1t was of course
the cause that inspired this wonderful outpouring
To the rank and nile of the vast army of SUBJ
scribers the impelling consideration was not the
-FOUR and quarter per cent interest nor even
the Incompatible security but the fact that their
money was needed to win the war. In all those
millions Of hearts patriotism burned with steader
lame than ever before and urged to intenser
service Yet the most ardent will could not have
created those billions of wealth out OF hand. The
resources were there. 1t love of country
glorifed in man. instances by heroic sef-denial
that brought them forth offering in freedoms
name; but anteC ating tits were the energy of
character and the fertility of nature that mark
America as nation peculiarly blest. We are
richer than knew.

The American Economist uses the following
language, according to the New York World:
I'm the great issue of 1918, far more is in
volved than the release of nations from the tyr
amy of Germany. True, that is the rally ground
the reason why the Allies and the boys from Amer
lea are fighting desperately.
''But back of all the shouts for liberty and free
dom is the BARE cold fact that this is an economic
war a war for national supremacy and security
Continuing, the Economist says:
"a conclusive and satisfactory peace in 1898
needed that undivided support of the American
people. A conclusive and satisfactory peace in
1918 would likewise need the undivided support
of the people, provided nothing but liberty and JUS
tice were involved.
But the present war is now economic
war"
This is pretty fair glimpse of the snake We
will have to scotch at home in settling up after
this war.
If the suggestion of the Economist is to be
adopted then to follow our armed conquest
of Germany by surrender to German ideals.
When we went into this struggle it was with a
flourish of trumpets announcing that our aims
were lofty that we sought only justice, that we

TT AVE you tried the sympathy cure for
n your nervousness? l can assure you that
it has worked like charm in innumerabe
What is that you say? You wish you had
chance to try the sympathy cure, but the fact is
you cannot find anybody who really will sympa-
thize with you?
That is not exactly what l mean. To try the
sympathy it is not at all necessary to find
other people to sympathze with YOU. What is
necessary is for you to sympathize with OTHER
PEOPLE.
Instead of requiring others to sacrifice them
selves for your comfort and convenience, instead
of perpetually demanding and never giving, in
stead of insisting being forever helped by
others, try the plan of making yourself helpful
to others.
There are countless ways in which you can
do this, both inside and outside your home You
will find it pleasant change from your present
tedious habit of sitting around doing nothing ex-
cept to think of your nervous aches and pains.
your indigestion, your insomnia, your obsessive
fears.
Hasn't it ever occurred to you that if you
could find way to forget these for a time you
might feel great deal better?
One way, one most admirable way, is to call
to mind the fact that other people have troubles
as we'll as you, and then bestir yourself to help
tighten somebody else's burden.
This you will find is good medicine. 1t is such
good medicine that it has benefited, even cured,
people much worse off than you are.
In certain hospital for the insane there is
interesting organization known the Society
oe the Helping Hand.
It's membership is made up of unfortunates
who have had to be committed to the hospital be-
of mental breakdowns. Mentally diseased
though they are, they busy themselves in altruis-
tic activities
On certain afternoons every week they meet
to work for other patients. They make hoods
and slippers for the tubercular insane who have
to keep outdoors mittens for the shovellers
and so forth. On at least occasion they sent
to DR.. Grenfell in Labrador a large box packed
with useful articles they had made.
AS physician who has seen them at work i'm
cisvely expresses it, 'They act like ordinary human
beings" And the joy of it is that their work for
others is of really curative value to themselves
You not insane, you are merely nervous
But are you now acting like ordinary human
being?
Surely to sit around in idleness day after day
is extraordinary behavior. And remember, too
ordinary human beings prefer to be helpful rather
than to be eternaly helped.
Make a start tomorrow in the sympathy cure
Lend a helping hand to somebody, and rejoice to
lend 1t. Good results Evill not be long in coming
to you.

THE EDITOR MAN

When you reject our flowing verse,
We mark you for a downright snob;
And call you names that sound much worse,
And wonder how you hold your lob:
With heart and soul both waterlogged
You sit upon your sanctum chair;
A gloomy Gus" with brain befogged,
And owlish eyes that coldly stare.
californian, you are the devil:
That's straight goods now and on the level.
But when you print our simple wall,
No matter how uncouth or rough,
We tell the world different tale
We can't find words of praise enough;
massive brain, tender heart,
sense of Justice-ft and right
A soul that understands our art,
being filed with holy light.
o californian, you are most dear,
And all the world holds not your peer

Secession an Germany9

new State, entirely divorced from Prussia COM
posed of Bavaria, Wurttenberg, Baden and prob
ably German Austria. No mention is yet made of
Saxony but it could be counted upon, in the event
of imperial disruption either to go with the south
confederation to declare itself independent.
These kingdoms and duchies are undoubtedly
weary of dancing to the Hohenzollern fiddle. They
constitute the pacific and tolerable elements
of the present Empire They had less inclination
to the war, realizing they did that if it were I'M
successful it would hazard their ampls prosperity
and that if it were successful it would but

potent of them ALL 1t is in no wise inconceivable,
then, that they would grasp an opportunity to es-
cape the odium that hangs upon Prussianized Ger

demption before the world.
They have impeling example in the Dual
Monarchy whose component States going their

Though the situation in Germany is not
analogous to that in Austro-Hungary, there being in
the former racial solidarity which the latter lack

deal in freedom and prestige by breaking away
from Prussian tyranny and shame. But the ques-
tion is yet entirely speculative. In the profoundly
changeful period now at hand many things may
happen in the German Empire many overturnings
and conversions; of which may be the seces-

is safely practicable.
