The secretary of war does not hesi- tate to say that the married relation will in itself constitute a deferred class, The voungest men, or those below 21 are also to be placed in the de-| ferred elass. - The men who are sure to be in the first class are bachelors, and many of them will accept their fate with glee, as not worse than being handicapped and harassed by family affairs; and it must be said for them that man are patriotically eager to assume their full duty as citizens and prepare to face the enemy of mankind.

When the Germans come aware of the basc purposes of the war and its indefonwible character they will be awakened to the deception and wick- cl@ness which is the cause of their eondition today. This dectrine of foreign hatred for Germans, tbat the men of all nations ~ were ememies of Germany, is one of the blackest iies ever imposed upon a trave and industrious nation, - The pecple of Germany under pres- ent reverses are reviewing the disap- " polntments and broken promises of the past few years, and the progress of demecratic ideas is being accele- rated. “Whatever may be the wgtcome of the. war” says the Freie Zeitung of - Bern (a German Republican paper), «: “the republ can idea in, Germeny will 'T ineresse in strength.

The German people know that their army has failed; and they alsc know the promises of peace have no foun- dation whatever. The effect of this m litary fallure in Berlin is told in two sentences in the Berlin Tageblatt: “The Marne de- feat has produced unspeakablg scenes of despair in Berlin. Such outhreaks | of utter discouragement and down- heartedness never before were Wit~ nessed.” The old Russian war clond suming such proportions that Ber- lin sees conflict instead of peace in that direction; and a broadening de-| mand for man-power which 1t cannozl command. \ The beginning of the end appears to be in sight. is as- A NEW ATTITUDE REQUIRED.
