INCREDIBLE CRIMINALITY

If there ever were in this world any
persons who deserved the universal ex-
ecration of mankind it is the set of men
in Germany who started the great war.
The German people, of themselves. did
not care for war in the same spirit in
which it was sought by the men who
had the power to bring it on and who
did so. The commencement of the war
was crime enough. but they did worse
than that. They deliberately prolonged
the struggle after they were of the
opinion that Germany could not win. In
other words, their criminality against
Germany was on par with that they
showed against the world. They deep
ened their original guilt by practical
treachcry to their own people.
The ground for these statements is
afforded by the German newspaper,
Norwarts, which has just published
articles showing conclusively that the
German army leaders knew immediate
ly after the first battle of the Marine
that Germany had lost the war and

THE WANDERERS.

Over the sea our galleys went,
With cleaving prows in order brave
To a speeding wind and bounding wave
A gallant armament:
Each bark built out of forest tree
Left leafy and rough as first il grew,
And nald all over the gaping sides.
Within and without, with black bullhides,
Seethed in fat and supplied in flame
To bear the playful pillows game
So, each good ship was rude to see,
Rude and bare to the outward view.
But each upbore stately tent
Where cedar pales in scented row
Kept out the flakes of the dancing brine.
And an awning dropp'd the mast below,
In fold fold of the purple fine.
That neither noon-tide nor star-shine
Nor moonlight cold which maketh mad
Might pierce the regal tenement.

But when the night-wind blew like breath,
For joy OF one days voyage more.

Each helm made sure by the twilight star,
And in sleep calm as death,

In a circle round its wondrous tent
Whence gleam'd soft light and curl'd itch scent,
And with light and perfume music too;

OLD AGE AND THE DOLLAR.

One of the most pathetic things in
Germany is the aged couple who saved
for years to provide for their old age
and now find their life savings wiped
out by the collapse of the mark
value. But to how many has it oc-
CURED that the same thing on small
err scale has happened right here in
America? Old people who thought they
had saved enough to care for them in
their old age now find that the dollar
will buy only as much as 60 cents
would have bought in 1914. In effect,
40 cents of the original dollar has
disappeared as result of the rise in
cost of living. That's unfortunate, but
war is war, and there's no escape
from paying the piper once We dance
to Mars music.
However, every cloud has silver
lining. For instance, 60 cents saved
now will be worth about one dollar
later. not counting any increase by
interest, provided the buying power
of the dollar eventually returns to
normal. A score of years may pass
before cost of living gets back to its
old-time level, supposing that it ever
will. That's just about when old age
will be creeping up to, many of us.
Even if the dollar does not return to
its pre-war value in purchasing power.
the dollar saved now will be worth
much more later. So, il you would
provide a nest egg for old age. save
now. Money at 4 per cent doubles in
less than IS years. That's one way to
offset depreciation of buying power.

, the reports issued by the army head
quarters and kept the German people
for four years in complete ignorance Of
the facts.
1t is somewhat remarkable that such
an achievement should be possible in
any country. In America, such a thing
could not have been successful for long
er thar thirty days-probably not that
long. Some correspondent of some
newspaper, at Washington, would have
obtained some inkling of the truth and
before long it would have been public
property.
Vorwarts asserts that Field Marshal
Won Moltke, the German chief of staff,
knew in the autumn of 1914, that Ger
many had no possible chance to win
the war and that the reports from his
headquarters became so short and in
definite that it was evident that some
thing must be told to the German peo-
pie at once or they would know as
much as the leaders of the army knew.
The quartermaster general of the
army. therefore. gave out on Sept. %,
1914 report that the German advance
on Paris had been thrust back at the
Marine. This dispatch was given to the
Wolff Bureau, the official German news
agency. This report. as published by
Vorwarts. declared that, after their ini-
tial victories the German army in France
had been stopped by the French at
tacks on its flanks which resulted in a
rupture of the German line for great
distance. This break had necessitated
the retreat of the German left wing
which was followed by the retirement
of the center and the right 1t was also
announced that the entire German army
had been compelled to fall back and
take up new position which was of
defense and not offense.
Naturally. such report would have
caused profound depression throughout
Germany as the people had been led to
believe that their armies were highly Sue
cessful everywhere. The officials of the
German government. realizing this fact,
suppressed the report issued from army
headquarters and gave out to the Ger
man people reports of various successes
of a local character which could not,
however, have much effect in COMPARE
sor with the result of the Battle of the
Marine.
According to Forwarts, the govern
me,t would hear of nothing in the way
of peace, although it knew that it had
no chance to win the war. 1t listened.
declared Vorwarts, to the schemes of
the eHpsnsionists who believed that all
of Europe could be brought under the
sway of Germany.
Exactly four years later, on the ami
versary of the suppression of the re-
port Of the, lost battle of the Marine,
the German army made its first appeal
for an armistice.
And the war that these men brought
on and continued after they knew they
could not win, cost the lives of 100000
600 people.

LOOSING A BOOMERANG

ne Argentine NepuOnC is furnishing
an interesting example of the power OF
any idea to turn into a boomerang
Wher President Alvear signed the de-
cree making the new pension law eff
fective in April, this law providing a
pension for anyone who had worked
twenty-five years, he turned against the
government just those elements sup
posed to be more greatly benefited by
the law than any others, that is, the
working classes.
Strikes in various basic industries
have been the answer of the workman,
their concerted refusal to pay the five
per cent of their incomes towards the
erection of this pension fund. In this,
they are supported by their employers,
who are also compelled by the provisions
of the law to pay five per cent of their
pay rolls into the fund.
Old age pensions have been one of
the foremost planks of all labor plat
forms. and labor influence has been re-
sponsible for the enactment of such laws

but nc legislation of the kind has been

Perhaps a reason for the workmen's
former acquiesence is that all such legis-

largely. Perhaps it is Just that those
who own and control large industries

lege of doing so, but this is all diff
cult and complex economic problem that

old rule. the simple plan" that those who
have the power shall exercise it. has gen
orally been the basis of life no matter
what idealists may hope and dream.

the burden upon the employers of labor
and the laborers themselves. Five per

employers and five per cent of the salary
from the workmen, and capital and la

Such protest is not without Justice.
