responsible for war. If they had been
responsible they have certainly paid
terrible penalty, for 8,538,315 of
these men were killed or died from
wounds, over 100000 of them were
wounded, over 100000 were missing,
most of whom died without record.
The unrecorded women and children
who died number many millions more.
If the German and Austrian people
were responsible for the war they
have been punished; 1872, 900 of them
were killed, 7,186,O00 were wounded,
3,252,O0 were missing.
When America went into the war,
we had not a single doubt that the
German rulers were exclusively re-
sponsible for the war. We heard
about their invading unprepared and
unsuspecting Belgium and France and
Russia. We heard Of their poison gas
and their atrocities in battle.
Some Secrets of European Diplomacy
The records to which / have called
the attention of the Senate appear to
demonstrate that the German mill
taristic rulers did not will the war,
tried to avoid the war, and only went
into war because of their conviction
that the persistent notifications of
Russia and France meant a determi
nation on war and were secretly in
tended as a declaration of war by
Russia and France against Germany.
The records show that the Russian
and French leaders were determined
on war.
Entente Preparations for War
j In 1906 Sir Edward Grey, on behalf
of the British Government, entered
into an agreement with France which
in 1912 he reduced to writing.
In 1914 Sir Edward Grey delivered
copies of these letters exchanged be-
tween him and the French ambas-
sador to the Russian ambassador as
a basis for an entente between Great
+, Britain and Russia under which a plan
of naval cooperation between Great
Britain, Russia and France was
worked out.
When the German rulers ordered
German mobilization, p. M, Satur-
day afternoon, August l, it was fol-
lowed Immediately by the marching
of regiments through London equip

GOT 'EM GOING HIS WAY

Everything looks lovely for our
new mayor as far as regards the
Civil Service Commission, for if the
members are not in full accord with
the administration he has no one to
blame but himself. Probably for the
first time in history the incoming
mayor has selected all members Of
the body right off the reel, since It's
establishment.
First came Frank Knauber, who was
appointed to fill the vacancy caused
when Charley Kent resigned in order
to qualify as president of the city
council. But after Frank gave tho
proposition the once-over he reniged
and returned his commission with his
veto attached thereto. Whether or
not to accept the resignation is mat
ter not thrashed out by the mayor.
Then Warren Suter quit the job,
and U. G. Brilliant was selected in
his stead, and finally Ollie Irwin, who
was put on the job by ex-Mayor Orr
the day before his term expired, got
cold feet and threw up the sponge.
His successor has not yet bean
named.

COUNCIL ORGANIZED

The new city council wasted no
time last Monday on caucus mysteries
or star chamber sessions, but marched
right in On time and froze on to their
seats; and just as soon as they had
been sworn in got right down to bus
mess.
The first thing was the selection of
a president pro tenn. This honor was
unanimously awarded to R. A. Craw-
ford. 1t was wise choice, for no
one among the able new army of city
dads is better qualified for the posi-
tion than he.
1t was next decided that new clerk
OF council was desired, and the mantle
fell upon the shoulders of "Bill" Parr,
ex-councilman. He is also well fitted
for the job, and will make good of
fetal.

Under the constitution Of 1875, the
President Of France has a right to
make a secret treaty on his sole
authority without the advice or con-
sent of the French Senate or the
French Parliament.
It was under this authority that
the secret treaty between Russia and
France of 1892 contemplating mill
tary operations against Germany was
executed and withheld from the
French Parliament. 1t was under this
authority that the secret treaties of
1867 to divide German and Austri-
an territory between France and Rus
sia were entered into.
Great Britain's foreign affairs are
directed in like fashion by the British
foreign office, No. 10 Downing Street,
without being directed by or disclosed
to the British Parliament.
Sir Edward Grey, in his agreements
with the Governments of France and
Russia contemplating military and
naval cooperation between Russia,
France, and Great Britain along the
lines worked out by the military and
naval stats of Great Britain, France

lutte secrecy. He. did not submit these
records to parliament until after the
war had been entered into by Great
Britain. Six times the British Parli-
ament was advised there were no COM
mitments made.
1t is of supreme international i'm
portance that the world should under
stand the structure of these foreign
Offices and what they did in bringing
about the World War. How they SUBJ
sidized and controlled the press, how
they formed public opinion through
such means, and taught the people to
fear and hate each other and build up
armies to the limit Of their taxing
capacity.
Until these methods are thoroughly
understood by the world and correct
ed, the American ideals of interna-
tional good will is impossible of ac-
complishment.
The People Not Responsible for War
Until these methods are understood,
the great mass of the people who pay
taxes and die on the battle field will
never be able to realize that their
hatred of each other is completely ar
tificial and a result of the ambition
and pride of their leaders in charge

CHAPTER XII

The mind Of an old and long-experi-
enced lawyer, for years busted in con-
struggling and avoiding legal ambus-
cades, a creator of trusts and other de-
vious creatures of the law, is a strange
ly subtle thing, often very dangerous
one. Consider as the basis of q pos
sible theory of a case, the mind of one
great standing in a great community,
determined upon assuming and holding
the immense power of sixty million dol
lars of money and its accompanying
corporate interests. And then suppose
his ambition to be so great that he has
gone through actual crime to carry it
out. And let us assume again that he
is confronted suddenly with the very
lively chance of discovery and exposure.

Moslein peoples cherish a quaint and
attractive tradition which bespeaks
their gratitude for the palm tree that
is so nearly the STAFF of their life.
When God created Adam, they say
from the dust of the EARTH there re-
NAMED over little handful Of earth
from the raw material of His handi-
work, and with IT He created the palm
tree to be mans brother in the vege-
table world and the supplies of his
greatest need.
And the sign Of this kinship is pre-
served in the characteristic which sep
arates the palm from all other trees.
AS man can live, though MANNED in bis
limbs, so can the palm tree survive
though 1t may shed its bark and It's
branches. But cut off their heads an
man and palm must die.
