GERMAN ASKS ALL
WORLD TO FORGET
Prof. Shuecking Pleads for
Universe to Swear "hever
Again."

BERLIN, Dec. 25.-'In the memory
of all that has happened, let US raise
our hands spiritually in the dark of
Christmas night in every land, toward
the starry heavens, and swear never
again."
Prof. Walter Shocking, Germany's
leading pacifist and former member
of the German peace delegation sent
this Christmas message TO the peo-
pie of the United States today.
Christmas impends, and the con-
ciusion of peace" shuecking said,
but Christmas Joy IL lacking in our
hearts. Humanity has suffered too
much.
MANY millions of our brothers
have entered that dark land from
which none return. When the holy
evening comes there will go through
the world a great sob from the for
lorn, aged mothers whose sons are
dead. Grief stricken women will lay
beneath Christmas trees gifts for lit
tie ones who never have seen their
fathers. Lonesome girls will rail
| against fate which took away their
hope for happiness in marriage.
No Home Uniform BY Death.
There Is no home in Germany in
which the family circle is untorn by
death. oh, could one this Christmas
evening adorn the graves of the dead!
"In the ages OF history humanity
erected pyramids over the vaults of
its dead in honor of their memory.
But where are the dead of this war?
Unburied, their bodies purify ove-
miles of war torn wastes. No flow
er blooms over their graves. There
are no linden trees near them, where
the lark in the spring may sing its
song.
Instead throughout Europe there
turks the spectre of hunger. need and
want, grinning at a grieving populace
through door and window.
"Will we succeed after all these
years of war in again making the
world sound? Can we restore these
dwarfed children crippled through
years Of undernourishment?
This is a Christmas after four
years of war--and one year Of the
armistice. Individual men may not
have had so much guilt therein as
peoples. They did not overcome the
power of hate. But now we must
battle against the world hatred. We
must link up what is common in all
the world. Doesn't the French, Brit
ish or American mother feel the same
toward her children as the German
mother When good Is common to
all of us, why should we hate?
Right Higher Thar Might. -
Let US unite to forget all we have
done wrongfully to one another.
Let us educate our children in the
thought that right stands higher than
might and that right must rule be-
tween nations.
"All wrong done Belgium and
France must be rectified and the
wrong that has been written into the
Versailles treaty must be made right.
Let US work together for a great
league of nations which will be a
refuge Of peace in a community of
labor. In the memory of all that has
happened let US raise our hands spir-
itually in the dark of this Christmas
night, in every land, toward the starry
heavens and swear never again."

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

About year ago the Fourth of July
was observed as festival in coun-
tries to which it had no previous sig
niticance. 1t was celebrated in France
1t was even celebrated in England.
1t is matter of record that it was
observed in England with even more
punctiliousneSS than in France. In
plain language they made fuss over
it.
George V took official part in the
ceremonies, and there were services
in cathedrals, and pyrotechnics
both chemical and oratorical. There
was flag waving, singing, parading,
and promiscuous demonstrating.
In this country considerable COM
ment was made upon the official par
ticipation of George in the ceremon-
les. Not that George counts for
much, either here or there; but Geo
rye is a remote descendant of George
III, whose personal humiliation is
commemorated in our national festi-
val.
BY what rule of logic George-V
should be restrained from celebrating
the humiliation of George Ill is diff
ficult to grasp. George ' is the son
OF the son of the niece Of the brother
Of the son of George III. He is the
flea on the tail of the dog of the Wild
Man of Borneo, so worthily acclaimed
in ancient vaudeville. If the remote
ancestors Of cousin of yours was
hanged for horse stealing, that fact
does not in any way compel you to
champion horse~t thieving as polite
diversion,
Representative government was es-
tablished as precedent in England
in Cromwell's day-shortly after the
Pilgrim Fathers sailed. Only an ac-
cident prevented Cromwell from emf
grating later on. George Ill, impreg
mated with autocratic ideals by his
German parents, tried to stifle this
Anglo Saxon instinct both in England
and the colonies. Contemporary lit
erature proves that public feeling in
England was solidly antagonistic to
lhin.
| sOn this continent the Illustration of
his purpose was quick and decisive,
In England it was gradual, but com
plete. We may we'll unite on both
shores Of the Atlantic in celebrating
| this anniversary.
