Germans Not Discouraged.

However, the majority OF the Germans
are far from discouraged to the point of
apathy. Indifference of laziness. The loud
walls made before the signing, of the
peace treaty were for the purpose OF
softening the terms, while at the same
time the Germans were working hard
to start on their trade campaign as soon
as the blockade bars were pulled down.
AS indicating the matter OF fact and
optimistic view taken OF the forced stu
alton the following Is part OF a circular
issued for German circulation with the
object of bolstering the nerve of the
downhearted ones in the country:
THE German people have proved their
mettle before and they will prove II
again. There is no doubt that once more
we will become the most industrious and
productive nation in the world. Backed
by our kultur. indomitable will and well
known efficiency, We will be at the front,
with the country prosperous as before.
Look at the French. Their modern
prosperity dates from the indemnity OF
1871, And as a nation they cannot be
compared with the Germans. True, our
indemnity Is hard load to carry. and Is
an enormoSs crime. but we will rise"
Germany. 1t appears, to pay her In
demnity will have to export $12 worth
of goods for every dollars worth she
imports. 1t IL pointed out that with no
large army or navy to maintain and
with economies at home she may be
able TO reach her new goal.

The evil use OF wealth and power

the future is looked upon as an aid
to gaining eternal life. That the
mere possession OF wealth is not TO

gotten in disputes between capltal

labors rights often fall into the er-
ror of branding the acquisition OF
great wealth as wrong in itself.
Though a man may be rich in

LEAGUE NEW SHIP
OF STATE, HE SAYS

Eugene Munson, national lecturer
for the Theosophical Society in Amer
lea. gave the first of a series of three
Tree lectures at the Theosophical
headquarters. 12l6 II street northwest,
last night
Mr.. Munson's topic was the League
of Nations which he compared to a
new international ship OF state.
The old system of international re-
lations, he said. had been destroyed
by the war and that we were now
going through the process OF building
new ship to take its place. He
compared the old ship and the new
ship of state to an ordinary wooden
ship-both OF which had three funda-
mental parts-keel and hull and su-
perstructuVe.
The old ship OF state had for its
keel selfishness; for a hull treaties.
and for superstructure diplomacy.
These served a very important pur-
pose in the development OF the race
and civilization; but their day of
service was over and humanity had
now come to a time when a better
system must be devised. Therefore
the ship OF state which Mr.. Munson
said was being built had also its
three fundamental parts-justice for
the keel; federation for. the hull and
brotherhood for the superstructure
Mr.. Munson speaks tonight at the
same address on "Reincarnation."

theme OF a sermon last night on

Christ was condemned not by a

Though the same law that q man
once acquitted OF the charge Of crime

question, What will you do with

Just as the Jews failed to answer
this great question satisfactorily for

The worlds dreamers have been

hopes realized, but never without
some effort. By exerting the >iri-
