demnity, which he demanded and
which exceeded the whole cost OF
war he did not speculate whether
his enemy could pay it or not. lie
knew that without it Germany
must face bankruptcy and he made
his claim without scruplc. Here
we may learn a useful lesson from
him. 1t is our business to ask that
our costs shall be paid. 1t is Ger
many business to find the money
as best she can.
Bismarck was hard man, without
pity without truth, without con-
science, and be believed what his
ilatterer Carlyle told him. that
noble patient, deep and solid Ger

into nation and become Queen
OF the continent" That the SEQ:
historian should have written such
stuff. in the hour OF Frances dis
comiiture, is little to his credit. 1t
was as gold to the Germans. who
owned that they could not improve
upon it, and who printed it in the
Moniteur to add to the misery OF
Versailles. And Bismarck believed
also that one hour that William II.
would be King OF the continent.
He wishes to take the Government
into his own hands" said the chan
cellor; che is energetic and deter

with parliamentary co-regents, a

hap' he may one day develop into

stand in need"
The Kaiser has not proved a rock
OF bronze. lie has been as a heap
OF sand 10 those who put their trust
in him, and Bismarck discovered
long before his death the stuii
which his master was made And
to one article OF faith the man OF
blood and iron was always CON
stant. He knew that, If Germany
went to war at once with France
and with Russia, she would not be
certain to win, and that she would
get no profit by her victory, even
ii she did win. lie put no trust
in the military preparations of Aus
tria and he believed that Italy
would resume her irredentist
schemes and claims against Austria.
His prophecies have come true,
one and all. The empire, which he
inspired with his own brutal cyni-
cism, has vastly improved upon his
brutality and lies today in the ashes
OF complete defeat. Thus the wheel
OF fate has come round full circle
and we are discussing today from
the opposite side the same problems
which Bismark discussed with a
fierce contempt for his Zoe at Yer
sailles. We can only hope that we
shall make harder peace than his,
since Germany deserves the hardest

COUP D'ETAT A LA BERLIN

A PPARENTLY the attempt last Sunday OF the
~ Spartacans Liebknecht wing of the present
German mbroglio TO overthrow the Ebert re-
gme at Berlin flash in the pan. The Germans
are by no means such experts in the coup deta line
as the French in times past have shown themselves
to be. No contemporaneous Victor Hugo OF Teutonic
blood will be able to write another History OF q
Crime such as the Gallo Hugo wrote after the no.
toriouS seizure OF governmental reins whereby Ma
poeon the Little became emperor OF France. There
is excellent ground for the belief that such quick ac-
ton is not in the German blood The Teutonic mind
IS stodgy phegmatic, caloric and quick like the
French mind
Germany has yet to show to the world that she is
worthy OF the worlds respect Until that time comes,
as 1t may come in the course of generation or so,
the rest OF the world will be under obligation to keep
close watch on Germany and to maintain over her a
strict uorship in the elements OF civilization For at
least generation Germany will be going to school so
to say it, to the civilized world
1t IS OF course the desire as well as thc purpose,
10 let Germany work out her own destiny so far as
S"e may prove able so to do. But it must be insisted
upon that in recent years Gcrmany-this same Ger
many remember-has shown herself TO be a Zoe 10
human rights and progress as understood by civilized
peoples. For that reason it bchooycs the rest Of the
world to make sure that Germany i, so crcum-
Stanced IN the immediate future, and pcrhans for
many years to come that she cannot run amuck again
Inc world will watch events at Berlin with more
than far-oft interest Germany is today and must
remain for considerable time virtually yassal TO the
rest Of the nations. What is done in Berlin cannot
be tnal, whether it be overthrow or something else,
until the stamp OF the worlds approval is put upon it,

The English's Radicals Critism

Editor Massineham of the London Nation has
been writing pieces about US, after spending few
weeks in the country getting acquainted. On the
whole, he thinks well Of u.s. and likes America
and Americans very much. He has criticisms to
offer, however. Before we take them up, let US
recall that his weekly paper speaks for the in
tellectual" group of radicals in England. The
New Republic and the Nation of New York
preach a faith similar to his.
Mr. Massingham believes that were too
sternly repressive of free speech during the war.
That we were too hard on the pro-German press,
the pacifists, the semi-seditious, the opponents
of consumption, and the conscientious objectors
He calls attention to the near-coercive measures
used in some sections by committees of patriotic
citizens to require residents of alien birth to
prove their loyalty by subscribing for Liberty
bonds.
Our visitor seems to have found out about u.s.
all right. The trouble with him, according to our
view, is that he draws the wrong conclusions
The American people were tremendously in
earnest about the war. They stood together in
a mood of such stern loyalty as to make the
right minded eternally proud of their country.
Perhaps they were intolerant in dealing with the
lukewarm, the slackers, the pro-Germans and
the enemies of our allies. Never the national
conscience and the national will more unanimous
ly bent upon the achievement of a single purpose
This spirit, this manifestation of the real
America, is not national blemish, as M. Mas
singham seems to conclude On the contrary, it
is the very thing that enabled this country to
march straight through to victory, instead of
muddling through.
In ordinary times, we are just as prone to
argue about non-essentials and beat about the
bush and listen to blatherskites, and allow our
selves to be enveloped in fogs of sophistry, and
permit politicians to asphyxiate with their
emissions of gas, as any other people on earth.
No one could be more tolerant of charlatans and
preachers of strange doctrines.
But in time of danger, when the house is on
fire, we brush aside the wranglers and hair
sptters, and Put Out The Fire.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair In
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkaH. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful Mulsif1ed cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and entire
ly greaseless), is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
pooing,as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather. and cleanses the hair
end scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle Of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive Oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get Mulsif1ed cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. It is
very cheap, and a few ounces is en-
ough to last everyone in the family
for months.-Adv
