ing classes who are accustomed to
sweets.
In the last analysis this concerns
not only Germany and France, but
also Great Britain. Yes, even Great
Britain will have to prepare for the
same fate. In spite of what we often
hear about the harmonious relations
between America and England, of the
AngIo-Saxon bloc, "Anglo-Saxon capt.
tal," "Anglo-Saxon policy" we are told
that the most dangerous world antag-
onisms lie between American and
Japan. This opinion, however, comes
from those who do not understand the
affairs of the world. The fundamen-
tai world antagonism is running
along the line of interests of the
United States and Great Britain. And
this fact will become more and more
pronounced as time moves along.

The Modern Innocents Abroad

masses were impressed by kings
Every time kings concubine had a
child or kings daughter was sold to
another kings son the papers made
quite fuss about it, the priests
dwelt on the affection in which the
royal families were held by God and
when the masses grumbled too much,
the Little Father would MARBLE a pro-
mise and say that he would right
those wrongs which some misguided
servants of his inflicted on the people
The kings were tolerated rather
than needed. Most Of them were equity
and rheumatic If not worse. Those Of
them who had the use of their limbs
were freQuenting the watering places
and setting up in business as bathing
beauty judges. A few of the mon
archs, notably the Emperor of Ger
many and the Emperor Of Austria
held on to their dignity, as best they
could. So also did the Gear OF Rus
STA. The poor fellow did not live long
to enjoy it. That however is another
story.
The real power in 1914 was in the
hands of the capitalists. In countries
like Germany, Russia and Austria,
vestiges of the feudal order remained,

when the European war started found
himself non persona grata with his
people, after he had killed several
millions of them playing tag with his
royal cousin the Kaiser. While the
two Cars were enjoying this game of
kings, none of them suffered as much
as a scratch. But the Kaiser had
better generals than the Gear and his
capitalists were more efficient, so they
produced more bullets than the Cars
capitalists with the result that the
Car lost more soldiers and got lick
ed. Instead of sympathising with the
Little Father in his misfortune as
they were taught by their priests, the
Russian workers and peasants and the
soldiers at the front simply said:
Here is where the Gear gets his and
we get ours" and they liked with
long swinging strides back to the rear
of the front and the Gear took a fast
train to the Crimea where he thot he
was safe. But he was only for a
while.
Socialists and capitalists got to-
gether with the intention of forming
a government and bluffing the people
of Russia with fine promises until the
strom blew over but they were caught
in the act by the Russian Bolsheviks,
who shouted to the workers and peas
ants: These rascals are only. agents
of the Gar in disguise. They will
murder you and starve you even as
the Little Father did. They want to
continue the war in the interests of
the Allied capitalists. You want peace

in the form of wages, the rest going
to the capitalists in the form of pro-
fits. The capitalists sold what they
could Of the accumulated wealth, but
as every capitalist country was pro
ducing more wealth than their own
population could consume, they were
competing for foreign markets. Final
ly they went to war to settle the
question.
For four years they battled. Eu-
rope was divided into two armed
camps and when it appeared that the
Central Empires were about to win,
the American capitalists who had bet
their money on the Allies stepped in
on the side of their investments and
helped to snatch victory from the
mouth of defeat. The Central EN-
pires and their allies we're vanquish-
ed. Democracy was saved! The war
to end war was over! There would
never be another! So the masses were
told by the prophet Woodrow Wilson,
who was the spokesman of the House
of Morgan when this country entered
the war.
But funny thing happened. At
first it looked good but a little later
not so good. One Of the crowned
heads that was in on the ground floor

MELANCHOLY

The one is longing from dark cell for light
Which behind CRATES tells him lie of liberty.
Perhaps already happier, who in the neighbor-cell
Is running against stone-WaII with the madness-sku.
The rest working animals
Straps cutting them deep in the flesh.
They don't more feel it.
They don't feel the whip upon the bony back.
They don't feel the wounds upon the naked foot.
They devour every fodder from the masters crib.
Joyess already long ago, also without will.
Their faith chokes
In illness, dirt and disgust of treachery.
Hunger strangles revolution.
The fists fall and the hate becomes tired.
The hope-spark of their eyes goes out.
The hunter-poets strophe hits upon deaf ears
Look your expIoiters' cynical luxury!

Do you hear raging the soIdiery's victor-sneer?
it doesn't provoke them.

made quite a hit in social circles in
the early. days of the war.
Simple minded people and others
not so simple minded held that the
cause of the war was the hatred of
Emperor William of Germany toward
England because Queen Victoria once
sneered at his withered arm. Others
professed to believe that the crazy
prophet Nietszche with his superman
philosophy was the cause Of it and
that the great blond beasts from the
Thuringian forests were setting out
to rule the world. The socialists (who
afterwards become known as Commu-
nists) held that it was a war between
rival groups of capitalist nations for
foreign markets and new territories.
The socialists (who afterwards
became lackeys of the bourgeoisie)
held that every country in which the
socialists found themselves, was tight
ing a war of defense and they felt it
their duty to fight for the fatherland.
The priests felt the same about it and
they asked their God to bring victory
to their country. At the same time
other priests in enemy contries made
similar requests on the same God.

was in a most awkward position. The
only thing he could do was to let them

In the year 1857 group of Amer
leans chartered a ship to carry them
on pleasure excursion to Europe and
the Holy Land. and Mark Twain's
famous book, THE Innocents Abroad"
one Of his best literary productions,
was description of the tour and the
great humorist's impression of the
places visited by the "innocents."
Again the innocents are abroad,
this time not to "see" Europe but to
save" it. And the impossibility of
saving Europe by the methods en-
ployed by our modern innocents, sug-
gested the title for this article.
The modern innocents who have set
out to save Europe and rebuild its
shattered constitution are the bank
ers and finance capitalists of America.
BY the time they are thru with Eu-
rope, that once healthy continent will
have either passed thru the under
taking parlor or revolution.

When patriotic Serbian fired a
bullet into the noble anatomy of the
Archduke Frederick Joseph of Austria
in 1914, causing that gentleman to
make hasty tho involuntary exit
from a then smiling world, Europe
was in fairly satisfactory state of
health and it's ruling class was quite
conceited, and looked on the shirt
sleeved aristocrats of America with
ill-concealed contempt. Most of the
American milliOnaires were of the
Jiggs type, made immortal by Mac
Manus in bringing Up Father" They
did not have much of family tree
If there ever was such an heirloom
it is likely that some INDECENT ances-
tor had to chop it up for kindling
wood, when making a fire to cook
his breakfast preparatory to setting
out to dig ditch or lay track on a
railroad bed.
But the shot that killed the archduke
was heard round the world and
before the echo returned to its base,
there was different story to tell.
Many of the kings of Europe who
made wars just to keep from getting

and some of them headless. They
started something that they were not
able to finish. Instead they got finish
ed.
The bullet that killed the archduke
did not really cause the world war,
tho it would appear that it was an
agreed signal like shooting off blank
cartridge in a hundred yards dash.
Hardly had the smoke from the ex-
plosion cleared away before Austria,
Germany, Russia, England, France
and other more or less consequential
countries were mobilizing their troops
and getting ready to shoot each other
but the monarchs never expected that
by the time the battle was over the
ex-navvies of the United States who
graduated into bankers, capitalists
and manufacturers would be on top
and the titled rulers of Europe would
be very much at the bottom. But it
came to pass.
Now, it happened that Europe tho
apparently healthy was on the verge
of a breakdown in 1914. The kings
were getting unnecessary and the
capitalists barely tolerated them for

He called attention to the fact that eiec-

public bodies in Canada, where tie policy OF
public ownership prevails, and by private
corporations in New York Stat where the
nolicy of private ownership Of water power
prevails. He pointed out that New York
consumers pay on an average three times
what the Canadian consumers pay for elec

A MYSTERY SOLVED

The tales told by those who go
and varied but perhaps there has
never been more fascinating story
than that of the mysterious disap-
nearance of the crew of the brig Ma
rie Celeste. The Marie Celeste sailed
frcm New York to Genoa in the year
1872. and after having been spoken
by passing vessel the previous day,
she was found drifting in the Medi-
terranean abandoned by every living
creature. The captain had his wife
and child on board, and in the dining
saloon the table was fully set for
morning meal. There was no confu-
sion in the appearance of anything on
the ship; it just looked as if the cap
tain and crew had vanished in to the
ether.
Many theories have been advanced
to account for the strange case Of
the Marie Celeste, and few yeas
ago several eminent authors had a
shot at calculating the mystery in
the pages of popular magazine. But
if the story which has just come to
light can be accepted, they were wide
of the mark After AZ years there
has just come a disclosure from q
Captain H. Lucy, who is well known
all over the Mediterranean. who
states that he has the true story Of
the Marie Celeste from a man whom
he met in Australia, who was former
ly the bo'sun of the ill-fated vessel.
The tale told by the bo'sun, in
brief. is that on the day before the
Marie Celeste expected to reach port,
there was sighted derelict vessel
On this vessel large sum of money
in gold and silver was found, and
Immediately scheme was formed,
participated in by the captain and
the whole of the crew, that the mon-
ey should be divided in certain pro-
portions, and the Marie Celeste abap-
doned. The crew arrived at the port
of Cadiz in boats borrowed from the
derelict, the names on which they had
changed, and after reporting the loss
of their fictitious vessel they scat
tered to various parts of the world
The old saying that the truth will
out sooner or later seems exemplified
in this case. Captain Lucy apparent
ly has no reason to doubt the verac-
ity of the ex-bo'snn. The disclosure
"ompletes the last chapter of story

ury in the telling.-Dearborn indie
