That they are real- | Iy possessed of, and believe, this idea admits of no denial. Conscquently | it seems like a holy mission. on their part, to insist that the world he brought to their manner of thinking. Listen to the spoken words of Pas- tor Lehmann in a sermon delivered August 9, 1915. He says “Germoeny is the leader of the entire domain of intellect, character and soul. All the deep things, courage, patriotism, faithfulness, moral purity, conscience, the sense of duty, activity on a moral basis, inward riches, Industry No other nation possesses all these things in such high perfection as we do. This war is a war of enpvy and jealous against Germany’s leadership. To run briefly down the list of vir tues claimed by Pastor Lehmann: what shall we say of the couraze of German officers, who dare not lead their men in action, but follow in the rear? Of the courage of German iroops who use non-combatancs, in- cluding women and children, as screens to protect them in their ad- | vance into battle? Of the courage of men whom it is necessary to chain o their guns, in order that they may not turn away -during the fight? Of the courage of soldiers who cannot be trusted to fight save in massed forma- tion? Who are, in reality, kept in line becanse they are more fearful of thelr masters in the rear than of the opponent In the front? In short, wherein does the boasted courage of the German army exceed that shown by the allied forces opposed to them, in any respect whatever? At the beginning of this war German people were solemnly that their existenc nation threatened and that they must to maintain their place in the sun. this was absolutely false made no difference for they helioved it to be true. Their patriotism was evoked through a well planned series of ly manifestoes and the enterod the war with enthusiasm, in full confi- dence that their legions. being invin- cible, would soon reduce their enemies I to sue for peace. But a patriotism that permits itself to be misled and moulded into a weapon to deprive other peoples of their liberties, at the same time riveting the tighter the les of its own slavery, is a thing accursed in the sight of God and the humanity he has created And again we arestold that & many excels in faithfulness. Faith- fulness to what? To a dream of am- bition engendered in the diseased minds of a Prussian military autocra cy; not to truth, justice and right. Her utter and contemptuous disre- gard for her pledged word, in count'- instances, is ample proof of this A list of the unfaithful actions on the part of the German government and tools in cvery part of the world, would fill the pages of the Herald ior months to come. The moral purity among German military officers, who are said to show little or no respect for the hon- or and virtue of their own women cannot be of a high order. Such be- ing the case they can scarcelr be ex- pected to have any regard for the of the women of the natlons have conquered. Yet, we are gravely informed that they el in this virtue also The conscience that cause or compunction, massacre innocent and defenceless men, women and children; that can deport for forced labor thousands of workers, separating them from their families, with ruthless hands; that can deliberately destroy hospitals and hospital ships and dishonor the Red Cross flag: that can wantonly defile and ruin the most sacred emblems of civilization’ and like midnight ass sins, murder the people of neutral nations in mid-ocean, is a conscience the perfection of which it is difficul: for an ordinary intellect to under- stand. ‘The most charitable thing that could be said in its defence, | would be to call it the conscience of an Insane people, whose standards of judgment had been turned upside down. It not that then it is the con- science of a race whose moral fibre is seared with crime. Listen again for a moment to a distinguished professor of the Univer- sity of Berlin, Adolph Tassen, by name. Speaking of his own people he says: “We are truthful, ties are humanity, virtues of Christ. and God is with u Ask the Belgian, daughter have been | of a lecherous soldiery, whosa child has been impaled on a bayonet or made a cripple for life, whose friends have heen burned alive in their own dwellings, Ask him ahont their gen- tieness and humanity.

Germany has shown the world that the qualitics in which she excels are not those mentioned by the Reverend Lehmann and Professor Lassen. No, her excellence is in an eltogether dif- frent line. It ean be shimmed up as a bestial brutality that belongs to medioval times. A eelf laudation, that betokens little renl knowledge of anything outside the German Empire. An eflicienoy that has smothered the individuality of an otherwise intelleo- tual peopla. An efficleney that is be- ing used wholly*to attain an evil end and that end the aggrandizement of the Hohenzollorn fumily and their satellites, the gratifving of ‘an insuf- | ferable ate ambition, that would domin- Ul the people of the ecasth nd make them slaves, molded to any form their masters wished, An ambi- tion that would lay the whole world hound gnd bhleeding at its feet, rath- er than abate one jot_of its criminal desires. 4 Honor has taken wings and flown away from this den of tyrants; vir- tue Is dead within them: pity 2 thins to sneer at.

Again, Germany materiallstic. foct of is nothing 'f not We sce plainly the ef- materialism in overcom- nality of a nation, and its place zrossnes and this the spir ing in carnality. A modern Spartan system that crushes the souls of men while trans- forming their bodies into machines to enable the state to rob the world. Selfishness. greed. all the debasing traits of the human species, are aere in a superlative degree. And the most {ncomprehensible feature of the situatlon is that tne German people seem to believe these qualities to be virtues showing forth the mercy. pity and love of Jesus Christ through his chosen peoole, the Teutonic race. Shall we, the American people, humble ourselves before this heathen god? Shall we offer the highesf. as- pirations of our lives on the altar of this mishapen image of dust? Shall we bend the knee before this tortur er and murderer of the helpless. and acclaim the divinity of this creaticn of the coarsest clay of which the world shows vecord? Allow sur in- spiration to be crushed, our free spir- it of growth and development quenched within us, the good im- pulses of our hearts smothered and our ideals degraded to the level of this thing called “Kultur” by tithe blasphemers of God's Holy name? Not while therc remains one loval citizencap able of bearing arms able to 8O to the front. Not while the memory of our ances- tors, who latd down their MNves for freedom, lives within our hearts. The shades of liberty loving men of all time would come forth from their graves to mock us should we al- low this thing to be. Every side issue should be drovpel and our enfire, energies from now on should be devdted to the winning of this war. No hand should withhold its service. No word of discourage- ment or faintheartedness should be allowed to escape us. Tt has resolved itself into this. We must win or lise out of life all that makes life worth living. And we are going to win if it takes the last man and the last dollar and twenty vears time. It takes time fo prepare for the task in hand. Be not too impatient, give the governmen a chance. And do not forget that every one of us, man, woman and child s his part to do. And it must be done untlinchingly. There can be no haif way measures. no lukewarm service, but true, wholehearted helpfulness. And the American people are giving and will give it more and mors = they awake to a full realization of the need Tha generous support given government to its bond issues thrift stamp campaign hitherto is but earnest of still greater sacrifices in the future. The growing intense spir- 1t of service of both men and women fn Red Cross work and in all depart- ments of public service and in man1- facturers of war materiels. is mani- fested daily. Let those that prove themselves traltors by hindering by word or deed beware. The time is close at hand when their actions wiil receive the utmost rigors of the law. The temper of the American peopl is hardening into steel, and treachery and treason will receive its just pun- ishment. There is one penalty for the traitor In time of war and that s death.

Berlin, Conn. H. ASPINWALIL, Mr. Hughes' Address. (New York Times) The address of ex-Justice E. Hughes to the Amenican M per Publishers’ Association was admirable as an interpretation of the duty of the citizen in the war to pre- serve civilization and democracy, =o judictous in dealing with the Govern- ment’s responsibility for the punish ment of sedition, so valiant in ae- fending criticism of the conduct of the war, so flawless and invigorating in its patriotism, so sfrong in the falth of victory and of s temper sane and temperate, that it will rank as one of the inspiring utterances of the “war by representative American. There was the rinz of exemplary non-partisanship in Mr. Hughes' dec Jaration, “I stand on that platform supporting the President of the United States.” Coming from a man who was lately the Republican candi- date for President and is now the official leader of that party, the pledge was impressive. Sincere with the matter-of-fact honesty so charac- teristic of M Hughes, there was no reservation. But he insisted on the right and duty of what has been called ‘“constructive criticlam.” Tt could not have hetter stated than as follows “War demands sce straight and shoot arles ewspa- =0 heen fighting men who straight. It also demands fighting critics whe see straight and are honest and canatid in criticism.” The Department of Justice has been charged—soma say fustly, others say without warrant—with sluggishness in prosecuting the seditious. Mr Hughes* asserted that constitutic power was not wanting to deal With trattors and conspirators. It must be remembered that he an eminent authority on the law. His quotation from Lincoln might be regarded. in the light of a constitutional preces dent: “I can no more be persuaded that the Government van tanke no strong measures in time of rebelllon because it can be shown that’the same cou'd not be lawfully taken in time of peace than 1 can be persuaded that a particular drug is rot good medi cine for a sick man buecause it be . shown to be gopd medicine for a Wwell one.” It iz dangerous to invoke the Con- stitution when the question is wheth er the nation shall deal with enemies within its gates who plot to betray it to the enemy threatening to de- stroy it. About the ditv of the press in time of war and ics right to immun- ity from arbitrary restrictions, Mr TTughe$ spoke brave words: “There is only one rule acceptable in war. Tt ought to be the only ruls in peace. but a state of war should drive it home to our conscience the truth, the whole fruth. (save in a few instances where mlilitary exig- encies forbid). and certainly nothing but the truth.” Stout in his faith in triumph of America’s cause, Mr Hughes did not, however, blink the fact that the war would be long and exact many sacrifices; drain the country it might be, ¢ its manhood and its resources. It was with sense of responsibility as the leade: of his party that he said he approved of the proposal “to put 5,000,000 men into the fleld at the earliest possible moment.” That was a fine saying that “it is not the measure of our high calling to win a sialemate or to gather a force merely to hold a line of trenches.”” It is in the fighting spirit only that counts now, the inflexible resolution to win a military victory if it takes our last soldier and iast dollar; and nobly did Charles Evans Hughes, Re- publican but always the American and patriot, give expression the will of a great, tree pople is the ultimage 10 (Springfield Republican) Mr. Hughes is the first leading pub- lic man to recognize fully the indus- trial complications necessarily attend- ing the call to the colors of 5,000,000 men. Others have demanded the im- mediate drafting of that immense number of soldiers without mention- ing the agricultural und industrial crisis that would result. Mr. Hughes in his admirable New York speech before the newspaper publishers fav ored putting the 5,000,000 into the field ‘“‘at the earliest possible mo ment,” but he had the sense to add “Let us have a comprehensive indus trial plan to insurc needed direction of industrial effort, fo~ we cunnet otherwise provide the fighting men.” 1f 5,000,000 men are to be called up. the comprehensive irdustrial plan cannot be developed a minute too soon. It is indispensubie On the Murman Coast. (From the Springfield Republican) A few days ago an alarming report came from Stockholm in regard to an agreement between Germany and the “\hite' government by which Finland was to be extended to the east, ulti- mately taking in Petrograd, while Germany was ta have an outlet and naval base on the Arctic, no doubt, with control of the new railway which Russia had just finished. This wholly credible report is now substantiated by a rteport of an aftack by the white” guard on the Russian ratiway near Kem. This town is in latitude 65 degrees, at the mouth of the Kem river. and at the head of a bay on {he west coast of the White sea, 180 miles west-by-north from Archangel Where the allied forces are is not stated, but having the advantage of railway communication, they should soon be on the spot: and it Is probable that the Teported attack was merely a raid not backed by any considerable force. If the “reds” of Finland and 2ussia, who have been at odds, but here face a common enemy, continue to stand together a good defence may be made. In preventing Germany from tablishing a naval base on the Murman os- cannot | coast, Great Britain has, of course, a special interest, for Germany al- ready enjoys far too great a strategic advantage through its control of the Baltis and the Kiel Canal, besides its threatened control of the Black sen It is significant, too. that in the Brest- Litovsk treaty it is stipulated that the submarine blackade of Russia’s Arc coast is to continue till a general peace is conecluded: for fts U-boat operations Germany would find a base on the Murman coast invaluable. Perhaps the most interesting and important aspect of the case, however is that for the first time the Allles ar fighting for and heside the Bolshe- viki. They cannot well fight for and beside them in the west, and against them in the east. However much they might have preferred the suc- cess of a more moderate faction, the logic of events has made them the allies of the “reds’ so long as the “yeds” are the dominant force in Rus- sia. Their diplomacy. as well as their military operations, will have to controlled by that fact Charles the the New udden. (¥ York Times.)
