DUTY.

Duly.
(By Edgar A. Guest.)
To do your little bit OF toll,
To play life's game with head
erect;
TO stoop to nothing that would soil
Your honor Oh your self-respect;
70. win what gold and fame YOU can.
But frs: of all to be a man.
To know the bitter and the sweet,
The sunshine and the days of rain
10 meet both victory and defeat,
Nor boast too loudly nor COM
plain;
To face whatever fates befall
And be a man throughout it all.
TO seek success in honest strife,
Blu! not TO value it so much
That winning it, you go through
life
Stained by dishonor's scarlet
touch.
What goal or dream you choose,
pursue,
But be Il man whatc'er you do.

condition that has prevailed in ibis

the owner of land has had to pro-

OFFERS HIMSELF IN SACRIFICE.

DR.. Theobald Won Bethmann-
tiollWeg, former German chancellor,
has formally asked the allied and
associated powers TO place him OH
trial instead of the former emperor.
The former chancellor says that he
assumes responsibility for the acts
Of Germany during his priod of Of
flee and places himself at the dis
posal of the allies.
The request of the former chan
cellor was made June 25th in a
communication TO Premier Glenn
cnceau, president Of the conference.
DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg, it is
said, desired to take this step Nav
2Oth but refrained at that time on
the expressed wish of the German
government. The communication
asks Premier Clemenceau TO bring
The following document to The
knowledge Of the allied and associ-
ated powers:
"In article 227 Of the peace
terms, the allied and associated
powers publicly arraign his males

or for purpose of trial.

MUST PAY THE PENALTY.

The Germans, with pretended in
diSnation and protesting that they
could not honorably do such a
thing, complained of the require
ments in the peace treaty, that they
acknowledge responsibility for the
war and deliver the former kaiser
Eor trial before an international
court. And yet when the history
of the great war comes to be writ
ten by fair and impartial hand, ii
will, without doubt, lay the respon-
sibility for the war at the door of
the kaiser urged on, encouraged and
supported by the German military
and the Junkers (the moneyed aris-
tocracy of PruSSia) military
aiming at a wider extension of its
powr and prestige, the junkers hop
ing for further domination and en-
richment. Behind these two AFRO
CANT classes, relied on by the Kaiser,
stood the masses of the German peo-
pie, in willing support, looking for
ward TO a great increase of the
wealth of the nation and a great
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the power, pres
tigc and dominant influence of the
German Empire and people, so that
all are responsible and the require
ment that German shall acknow-
ledge this responsibility is just and
reasonable, however much German
pride. arrcganc and pretended hon
or may protest and complain.
After years spent in the careful
preparation of a mighty army and
navy, Germany felt that she was
ready and set her armies in motion
TO invade and crush France, her an
cient enemy, not hesitating to in
wade. Belgium, whose neutrality she
was solemnly pledged to observe
and protect. To facilitate the speed
Ter realization of her evil designs
she did not hesitate 10 set aside tin
worlds code of morals, holding it
as so much junk worn out and use
lcss-a mere hindrance in the pros
ccution OF her ambitious schemes.
In place of all prevailing moral
principles Of right and Justice
known among men they substituted
q system of their own known TO
The world as German "kultur' justi-
flying every form of frightful wrong
and outrage they believed would
Put their enemies IN fear and force
them to speedy submission.
With the lie OH her lips that
France was preparing to invade
her territory and Russia moboliz-
ing to strike Austria, Germany,
thoroughly prepared, as she con-
sidered, furnished with a moral
code of her own devising and see
ing her opportunity, as she thought,
rushed to war. Then the world
caught OH and, seeing the momen-
tous issues involved, went forth TO
meet the mighty giant of Central
Europe, whose aim was conquest
and whose. success meant the hui
initiation and degradation of all who
dared to oppose her-the practical
domination of the world.
But Germany LOST, lost everything,
and now lies PROSTATE at the feet
of her conquerors in the dust of de-
feat and humiliation. Bue even in
defeat the Hun is still arrogant and
defiant and, if the Allied nations be
not always on guard, will some day

distant hereafter-strike again, if
only to recover his lost position
lost as the price paid for this un-
righteous and outrageous war of
unjustified aggression. Let the
Hun pay the penalty fully.

SOME IMPORTANT
CHANGES WILL Be
MADE IN TREATY
Rewriting Made Necessary by
Discovery of Errors and In
constituencies in Draft Pre-
Sented Germans,

The council of four devoted both
its sessions Friday to revision of the
text O fthe peace treaty, preparatory
to its presentation to the German
peace delegation, Premier Orlando of
Italy, was not present, having left for
Rome Thursday night to discuss at a
secret meeting of the Italian parlia-
ment the work of the peace confer
enCe and to reach a decision on some
important matters. Baron Sonnino,
the foreign minister represented Italy
at Fridays meeting.
The rewriting of the treaty of peace,
as announced in Paris dispatches, was
rendered necessary by the discovery
of errors and Inconsistencies in the
draft as at first presented to the Ger
mans. Many of the changes to be
made are of a highly important ma
ture, but most of them are of minor
character.
The latter is particularly true of the
reparations clauses which will be viz
tually unchanged in the new draft.
But the financial provisions will be
amended so that the reparation COM
mission will be given discretion to al
low Germany to gather a working
capital for the resumption of her in
dustries in order that she may meet
the requirements of the allies.
The plebiscite in Silesia and chang
es in the Polish frontier necessitate
new clauses, while a revised draft of
the provisions on the Danish from
tiers is expected.
The proposal of the council of for
eign ministers with regard to fixing
the Hungarian boundaries bordering
on Rumania and Czecho-Slovakia has
been approved by the council of four.
Holland has joined Switzerland,
Norway and Sweden and Denmark in
refusing to take part in a blockade
against Germany should the latter re-
fuse to sign the peace treaty.
British warships are reported in a
dispatch from Stockholm to be bonn
harding the base of the Bolsheviki at
Kronstadt. The dispatch intimates
that the Bolsheviki are endeavoring
to evacuate the base.

he senate on record against accepting
| the league of nations as now inter-
woven with the terms of peace.
After series of conferences and
much informal counting of votes there
We're various predictions as to the
course the struggle would take. Both
sides were optimistic but were predict
ing long and stormy debate.
Whether opponents of the resolu-
ton should carry their fight to the
point of parliamentary obstruction so
as to prevent a vote until after sign
ing of the treaty at Versailles was
discussed at a conference of demo-
Gratis, attended by Senator Hitchcock
of Nebraska and several other MEM
bers of the foreign relations commit
tee. Afterward the senators pres
ent gave conflicting views as to tho
method OF procedure but agreed that
it might be shaped largely by devel-
opments.
Senator Hitchcock said no filibuster
would be no serious opposition to
bringing the measure to a vote. He
predicted that every democrat except
Senator Reed of Missouri, would be
against it. and that they would be
joined by about eight republicans Civ
ing a safe majority to vote it down.
Other senators at the conference
made clear their intention to fight
the resolution at every step,

The first fight over the resolution
is expected to center about the sec

would have declared it a policy of the
American government that it shoul
cooperate in removing any future
menace to the peace of Europe
senator Fall, republican of New
Mexico, cast the deciding vote on
this question in committee, but
reserved the right to support the
provision in the senate. Oppo-
nents of the resolution generally
are expected to favor the sections

cning the resolution.
The measures supporters. however,
predict that the European section will
not be restored Even if it were, they
say, the resolution, because of its 9TH
