THE GERMANS IN DEFEAT

| Under the above head the following
editorial appears in the Youths Com
panian of January 9, in which the
German mental attitude has never
been more clearly set forth IN print /:
Through four long years we have
had an opportunity to study the Ger
man character as It revealed itself in
victory or in the hope of victory. The
conclusions that we reached were not
complimentary. Now Tor two mouths
we lave watched the bearing of Ger
mans in defeat, and We cannot revise
those conclusions. Germany in de-
feat is the reverse of the medal of
which Germany in victory is the face /:
the qualities that are stamped on the
one determine those that are stamped
on the other, in appropriately revers-
ed form.
The arrogance that tore up the most
solemn treaties and that struck blow
after blow at smaller and weaker ma
lions finds it's complement in the
hasty readiness to make an abject sur
render when the tables at last are
| turned. The savage cruelty shown to
those who were temporarily in the
power of the Germans is replaced by
whimpering plea to be spared the
hardships and sufferings that must
follow invasion. As the Germans
fought without chivalry in victory. so
they fight without spirit in defeat.
Like their Bulgarian allies. they
would not defend their own soil;
when aggression failed they were
ready to quit Their navy surrend-
cred without striking blow. The
kaiser ran away in a panic from his
own army and his own people.
1t is all applicable enough when you
get the keyword-materialism The
Germans would fight for loot. for con-
quest, for material gain; they would
not fight for anything else. When It
began to appear that 1t would cost
good deal more to fight than they
could hope to make by fighting, they
we're only too willing to stop. That
nay be businesslike, but is also de-
spicable.
rhe case would be different if there
were any reason to believe that Ger
many surrendered because ii recog-
nized the evil 1t had done and the
falseness Of its wartime ideals. There
is no such reason. There is not the
slightest opposition on the part of the
new German leaders to be repentant
or contrite In heart. They merely
recognize that Germany made a mis-
calculation, that it would have paid
better to keep out Of the war. There
are few honorable exceptions. but
the lie still remains powerful between
the Rhine and the Vistula. The peo-
pie do not look the facts Of Belgium,
of the submarine war, of their East
ern policy, in the face and say, I'VE
have sinned." They do not even ad-
NIT that their army was whipped.
They lie to one another Just as the
imperial government again and again
during the war lied to them. Having
avoided the final military catastrophe
by begging for peace, they boldly well
come home their "unbeaten" soldiers
The Prussian philosophy, subservi- |
ence in adversely, materialism and de-
ceit always, has marked this people
so deeply that no political rev olution |
can altar their habit of mind.
1t is even questionable whether a.

Seventy four souls, which but in
the yesterday year of their lives had
beat as thirty seven, Tuesday after
noon wended their way to the chan
Gerry court where they witnessed the
setting of their matrimonial stars
and the ringing down of the divorce
curtain on their domestic lives by
Chancellor w. 3. Garvin.
1t was a sorrowful and heart -rend-
ing sight to think, to know, to see
that there could be so much unhappi-
ness in this world, that people could
be thus deceived, misled and mis-
treated as these seeking divorce had
charged against each other.
There were beautiful young wives,
yet on the threshold of young wom-
anhood, fondling their babies; middle
aged women, with children. whose
laughter outside was ringing in the
court house corridors; women far
past the middle age in life who had
lived years and years with their
helpmates until the limit of endur-
ance, Of things unpleasant, had been
reached-all came to seek relief.
There were colored girls, women
and some old ones who came in and
told pathetic stories of mistreatment
and abuse And then there were
husbands few of them.
The October sun was setting and
the shades of beautiful fall day were
falling when Chancellor Garvin was
forced to adjourn his court and post
pone the remainder Of the cases be-
fore him until Wednesday. The docket
was the largest the chancellor has

| ever had and the call for the rest
Of the week Is equally as heavy. The
divorce evil Is truly a growing one.
The chancellor however says he
realizes his divorce docket as the
most serious of his duties as chan
cellor and he so acts. He takes the
place of the absent defendant and If
a man or woman comes into his
court in an uncontested case and
makes charges against another they
must prove by witnesses beyond a
doubt that these charges are true.
Never does the learned judge grant a
divorce when he sees there has just
been q mistake made and there is a
possible chance for husband and wife
to get back together again. The di-
Vorces granted Tuesday afternoon by
the chancellor are as followss:

London, Oct. 15.-With Gen. Deni-
! kne's Cossack army advancing from
the south and the northwestern Rus
sian forces almost within striking
| distance of Petrograd. the soviet gov
| ernment of Russia appears to be fac
ing a crisis. Bolshevik headquarters
at Petrograd were closed last Thurs
day. according to dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Reval.
The northwestern Russian army

cate the line of advance to be nearly
125 miles in length.
On the south the Denikine troops
appear to have approached quite near
, the town of Tula, which is consid-
cred the key to Moscow from that
side. A dispatch received here says

day in an Exchange Telegraph dis

ing forces were said to be Just out

Tide Turning Against
Russian BoIsheYiki
(By Associated Press }

Today's developments from
Russia are of an extremely dis
couraging character for the boil
sheviki regime.
Gen. Denikine, whose forces are
advancing on front OF about 45o
miles through central Russia, has
in the center captured OreI, only
23S miles from Moscow and the
most important railroad center
south OF the capital. The north
western army of Gen. Yudenitch,
also operating on a broad front.
Is reported to have smashed
through the bolshevist lines west
and southwest of Petrograd and
to be within fifty to rs miles of
Petrograd all along the front.
Meanwhile Kolchaks Siberian ar
mics are improving their advan-
tage along the Tobol river and
now are within few miles of the
boundaries of European Russia,
from which they were driven by
the recent successful bolshevik
offensive.
Riga apparently is held firmly

With the exception Of the gap
between the Volga and the Siber-
ian frontier, a fairly continuous
line of offense Is established
against the bolsheviki, reaching
from the gulf of inland sixty miles
beyond Petrograd due south to
Dvinsk, thence along the Polish
front southeastward to Gomel,
which in turn is barely rs miles
from Chernigoff. Just completed
by Gen. Denikine. His right

due east of Chernigoff on the

BISHOP ATTACKS CHINA

Detroit, Oct. 15.-"Shantung, re-
turned to China by Japan, would with
in two years be bartered to some other
nation" declared Bishop John McKim,
of Toxic, to the triennial general con-
vention of the Protestant Episcopal
church here today. during discussion
of mission needs abroad. He MAIN
tanned that the recognized Chinese gov
ernment is corrupt and untrustworthy
and that there is no stable government
to which Japan could return Shantung.
Bishop McKim also said he believed
Japan had some good reason for hSd-
ing Shantung.
Japan says she will return Shan
tung to China" he continued, "and
Japan always keeps her word. wish
/ could say the same for the United
States government"
Bishop McKfm, in answer to ques-
tions, declared that the unjust acts
credited to japan in Korea were not
the acts Of the Japanese government
or of the Japanese people and that
the guilty. soldiers are being court
martialed."
