ARROGANCE OF THE YANOUlSHED.

In an outline OF the German counter proposals Il the
peace terms of the Allied and associated powers, which
was cabled here by the Associated Press, the complaint
is voiced that the treaty sets might above right, and that
this is the spirit which dominates the entire document.
Coming from any other source, such a charge might
be deserving of more than passing investigation, but
originating with that nation which more than any other
in the world has preached and practiced the doctrine of
might, the complaint is of such a nature as to merit either
angry scorn or mere ridicule. Ones first involuntary
impression is that no German delegation could have for
mulated such a laughable ccusation-laushabl because
of it's origin-in all seriousness, but it appears from the
context of the resume that apparently the representa-
tives of the vanquished nation were in dead earnest when
they let these words run into the pen.
The German arrogance. maintained even in the hour
of crushing defeat. should be seen upon the background
of Germanys own acts and of some of the maxims which
became an inseparable part of public sentiment in the
country. 1t is sufficient, for the present purpose, to re-
mind of the widely read Adolph Deissmann's cnthusi-
astically acclaimed sentence. written less than two years
ago:
What they tthat is, presumably, the rest Of the
worldly call barbarism, history will call primitive
strength. We proclaim-no, we do not proclaim, but it
reveals itself-the religion of strength"
And when Karl A. Kuhn made an attempt to an
alyze the causes of the war. he came to the conclusion
that the might of the conqueror is the highest law be-
fore which the conquered must bow"
There are on record thousands of other similar state
ments, and while it might be argued that they represent
merely the views of certain individuals, the reply in
evitably must be that they voice the sentiment of a ma
ton. When all things are considered, when the world
ambitions dating back to 1871 and earlier are taken into
consideration, and when the events of August, 1914, are
remembered, it is seen that the teachings of certain
apostles of Kultur must be looked at as thoroughly
typical.
The right of conquest is a we'll defined fact in in
ternational law: it has always been applied vigorously
but never more vigorously and ruthlessly than by con-
querinz Germany herself. Yet when that right is turned
against the nation, her spokesman bewail the fact, and
whine SO that all may hear it that poor Germany is a vic
tim of that obnoxious principle which she herself has
carried into practice more strenuously and consistently
than other nations.
1t is a case of swallowing their own medicine-but
it would have made a decidedly better impression on the
world in general, were the Germans able TO do it without
childishly wry faces.

THE WANE OF BOLSHEvISM

Reports from widely different sources indicate that
Bolshevisnn in Europe is waning; it is still a menace to
be reckoned with, but apparently it gains no new strength,
and its leaders are becoming discouraged because the sup
port they have counted on has failed to materialize at a
time when pale disaster faces them.
Lenine is downhearted, press dispatches say; he is
thinking of Withdrawing from Russia altogether, to seek
refuge somewhere out Of the sight of men. Trotzky is
plainly becoming nervous as witness some Of the desper-
Bolshevist premier of the Hungarian government, appar-
emily has the impression that he is losing ground, for
he is busy addressing stirring notes of justification to the
American and other delegations at the Paris peace con-
sress. z ,
Military successes Of the Allied attachments in Rus
STA have much to do with the sudden. change Of emphasis
in the Bolshevist movement, and it Is. even reported that
revolutionary army units have fled with wild and unre-
strained panic. 1t is far too early to say that Bolshevis,n
has been eradicated from its native country, but it seems
to be breathing its last. Added to the various factors in
dicatins imminent Reorganization Of the Red" hosts is
the reported fact that q process Of disntesration Of the
morale OF the Bolshevist troops has started. and that re-
ports Of desertions and dissensions are becoming so fre-
auent and general ~ to make the leaders pessimistic.
Thus It seems that Bolshevtsm approaches its doom

PHILOSOPHY.

This is 6, mighty world you're in
An so don't spread yourself too thin"
My wise old father used to say. .
Just do your. best from day to day:
But never undertake too much.
Remember as you go along
To sing a cheerful snatch. Of song
But be contented If a few
Into their hearts shall welcome you.
Life has It's tasks both great and
small.
But no one man can do them all. =
It's settled by a natural law i
How much al willing horse can draw,
And If beyond his strength he tries
A failure, broken-down, he dies.
Some men neglect the little things
To seek the praise which greatness
brings
And miss the goal. and in the end
Find they have lost the nearby
friend.
No man. however wise and strong,
Can bear the burdens of the throng,
Who seeks to serve too many here .
Brings no n happiness and cheer..
And this is also truth I tell,
Who tries too much does nothing
well.
God has assigned US certain tasks
And nothing more Of JUS He asks.
He shall succeed by every test
Who does no more than just his best.
This is a mighty world. you're in,
An SO don't spread yourself too thin
Be good and brave and kind and true
And serve with faithfulness the few.
Be satisfied to "a the praise
OF those who follow in our ways
II you bring happiness to them
You need not care what tongues cone
denim. ' Sta FEr @ag y
This is the test for every man.,
That he shall do the best he can.

PASSING PHENOMENON.

When it was suggested in the congress during the
early part of the week that work on pending immigration
legislation ought to be facilitated, the remark was made
that there was no hurry because there was no immigra-
ton. Although the latter part of the statement is not
literally true, it is a fact, nevertheless, that the influx of
foreigners to the United States just now has reached it's
lowest point for almost a century. Added to this is a
disturbing report that thousands of American citizens of
foreign descent are leaving for Europe every week with
the evident intention of remaining there.
At a glance the situation may seem serious enough
In view of the fact that American industry to a very large
extent has been depending upon the resources of labor
coming here from abroad; besides. there is something
sentimentally disquieting about many thousands leaving
for the Old World in the apparent belief that conditions
prevailing there are more satisfactory than they are here.
But however serious the situation may look at first,
a further examination into the subject gives the assur-
ance that the exodus to Europe is merely a temporary
symptom of the age. It will not last, and within a few
years a correct proportion between immigration and emf
grafton undoubtedly will have been restored.
Whether the time for new immkration Hesitation
is opportune just now, is at least a debatable question.
1t would seem that, taking things as they are, there Il, no
need for increasingly stringent measures which cannot
but act as a damper upon the enthusiasm with which
the youth OF many lands looks to America as their future
nome. In a very large number of cases the immigrant
goes to America in consequence of a fixed plan which
may have matured in his mind years before he actually
makes the voyage. Generally, he does not act upon i'm
pulse or as the result Of a sudden ~him. He decides upon
q plan--looks upon It ~ a business policy Of his own, and
decides to carry It out When he finds that hospitable
America makes it more dimcult for him to enter than
he had been wont to believe. he naturally becomes dis-
courased. and In many thousands Of cases, the United
States will be the loser.
In this connection II cannot have escaped the a&ten-
ton ofsthe careful observer that President Wilson IN his

Washington, July lit is doubtfui

signed statements by Secretary Lane,
and after attending mass meetings
called by the bureau of mines, spent
their last dollar prospecting Many
corporations invested sums of money
running into the millions in war
plants.
The American Mining congress de-
manded relief for these investors who
were caught in the slump when the
armistice was signed and the manu-
facture of munitions ceased. A bill
was passed making available 100000

There are many pitiful cases among
the claimants, quite number of the
producers having been forced into

claims based upon general appeals
from the government will be allowed
but that any claim where the individ-
ual or company was specifically So
licited by all five of the government
agencies named i'm the bill will be
given favorable consideration.
This means total elimination OF
