Rejecting European Thought

Especially at this stage of the international tangle
is it interesting to read the views of European
cotemporaries These graphically set forth by
The Stars trio of special correspondents located at
three strategical points
George S. Barnes-who sits in the British Par
lament and is participant in, we'll interested
observer of, his nations polices-wrtes of the Eng
lish mind.
Andre Tardieu-a distinguished Frenchman who
has lived among High Commissioner for his
government and who is close in her counsels, is in
wonderful position to accurately reflect public opinion
there-which he is doing in his weekly letter in
The Sunday Star.
Maximilian Harden, the German publcist, is
plain and forceul writer with clear vision of condi
tons on both sides of the ocean-and is interpreting
for Star readers the political and economic mind of his
countrymen.

LOOKS BAD FoR GERMANY.

THE German Republic is threatened with dis
@ solution according to reports now coming
from over there Americans who are Interested in
seeing the world strike some sort of a balance
again in economic life will be quick TO sense the
II disaster which would follow such happening.
Germany is tottering upon: unsound grounding
with a dozen political parties worrying her. The
nonar chists although few in numbers, have been
ruthless1y on the trail OF republican leaders ever
since the republic has been established Every
time the republican party has produced an out
that man has been marked for death, and since the
collapse OF the German monarchy, the$repu bHcans
have lost 37S men, by open assassination or sud
den disappearance. Only a few of the murderers
have been caught and executed.
The assassination of DR.. Walter Rathnaeu# re-
moves a man of such strength and influence that
the entire republican government is badly shaken
The mon archists cannot hope to restore mon
archy Immediately the event the republic falls,
but in the scramble for ascendancy along the!
socialists, the church, and half dozen other pol;
teal parties there will be a dog eat dog period,
with no law nor order possible and the frightened
population is likely to recall the peaceful days pre-
ceed;nE the war and to remember wilhelm 8 most
vigorous statement that he nor his ministers We're
in any way responsible for the World War
1t would be a bitter day, and day that saw a
Germany prostrate before any Of the German
royal line would ever see the German crown bu.
like wolves around wounded stag the monarchist#
party awaits it's chance, and makes the chance as
rapidly as possible. One OF the first things the
new German ambassador did upon his entrance
into the German ambassady in Washington, was
to remove the agnificent painting Of the exled
emperor, saying, This has place in this house
now. 4 These words echo German popular feeling.

PLENTY OF TEACHERS

I T has been a long time since the number Of ap-
plcations for positions as teachers in the public
schools has exceeded the number Of positions avail
able During the past five years many schools
have remained altogether for lack Of teach
ers and many have had to accept teachers but
poorly qualified to serve such for West Viz
ginia's young people!
The report now comes that the supply is exceed
ing the demand already, and that more applica-
tions coming in by every mail This is one
Of the finest things that could happen affecting the
betterment Of the general educational outlook.
Marion County now, instead OF having to take
what she can get the first time in years in a
position to select her teachers from an overflow
ing field. It means, not only that the children in
the country going to have better teach but
it means that those men and women with ambition
to teach will put forth more personal energy and
effort into preparing themselves for their work.
