STAR—TUESDAY, OCT. 2, 1917, PAGE 6 Germany Wants Peace Because Her People Are Starving ! hae E reasons why Germany would like to | have peace are manifold. | Aside from the fact that she is stronger | now than she will ever be again during this war, that she is now making war in enemy territory and holds vast reaches of Belgian, French, Russian, Serbian and Rumanian lands, there are conditions at home that make it wise, if not imperative, that the war come to an early end. The Germans are a docile and disciplined people. They love a ruler and master. They apparently delight in being forbidden to do all manner of things. They are a folk among whom revolutions do not thrive. They have too wholesome a respect for the kaiser’s soldiers and the kaiser's police. But the ruling caste of Germany appar- ently knows there is a limit to which even Germans may be driven. Germany today is a land of thin, un- derfed, underclothed people. It is a land ~ Member of the The ¢ Rovtered at Beattie, Wash of etty vat LIFE AT THE Y. W. C, A.

There are blind men and maimed men in every village. It is a land in which people never smile any more. And the depressed spirits of the people are not uplifted when they read in a workers’ journal, like the ‘Textilarbeiter of Berlin, that Bernhard Hauptig, a member of the textile workers’ union, has “exchanged the temporal for the eternal life.” Nor do they rejoice when the article con- tinues thag his relatives, applying for financial help, were, instead, given a death certificate by the district medical officer which said: “The undersigned hereby certifies that the 58- year-old factory worker, Bernhard Hauptig, was found dead on June 15 in Engelsberg pastures. According to investigations which were duly carried out, the above named person died of starvation.” To which the Téxtilarbeiter added the terrible thought: “/Tauptig is not the first Seattle Star Postorty 3.36; 6 me * or 8 rth wp to @ carrier, city, 106 & month No answer!

A land in whigh the resources are am- ple is not a land in which an industrious worker wanders the fields and dies of starva- tion like a neglected dog. No wonder Vorwaerts, a socialist organ of Germany, which sometimes dares to hint at the truth, said, in a‘recent issue: “The present internal conditions in Ger- many remind one of the festive horseman im- mortalized in the Fliegende Blaetter who, being asked, ‘Meyer, where are you riding to?’ frankly replied, ‘How do I know? Ask the horse.’ “We ask: ‘Quo vadis Germania?’” Now the socialists are not the only ones who are asking whither Germany is going.

AND PIKE sT. worriedly, as the case may be, by every one in kaiserthum. All recognize that the breaking point may be reached. There is a stage beyond which even Germans will not endure. Wars have sometimes ceased because the people have ab. solutely refused to prosecute them any longer, Dynasties have sometimes been toppled into the dust because people have refused to starve any longer. That is what is worrying the Hohenzollern outfit. They are not winning abroad and they fear conditions at home. Hence their strenuous efforts to end the war before winter, before defeat, be. fore a starved and frozen people may find the courage to drive them from their thrones. government has} statesmen, however, has| rela- By no possibility could the head Special Reductions on Plates, Crowns and Bridgework. | No Charge FOR PAINLESS EXTRACTIONS WHEN HE LEFT ELECTRO PAINLESS DENTISTS Southeast Corner First and Pike J.
