Kaiserism had "carried on" to its logal end, Spiritually the people had been made bankrupt. ' They had but a small share, individually, of the wealth that flowed into the country, and that went Largely to build Up the military power of the state. Vast expenditures for warships, guns munitions and the varied implements of war, for the support of -the evergrowingperaonnel of the mint&FyTffid haval powerTSa well as to keep the complex civil government going efficiently, absorbed the profits of industry. The kaiser himself absorbed nearly $3, 700, 000 annually. Lacking such incalculable natural resources as the United States possesses, and living on an area smaller than the state of Texas, and not much larger than Utah and New Mexico combined, it ia not surprising that Germanys population should have felt the burden of making the .empire the power it was. The people were ret tthss, despite their inflexible training in obedience from the cradle; but any disturbance in the nations thought and Industry due to this unrest was as nothing compared to the spiritual corruption wrought by the militarists. r Pride in the fatherland's army and navy was sedulously fostered. The kaiser was constantly held up by himself and his press agents as a model for the greatest of human beings to emulate in his lessef virtues and for the common herd ,of worship. He was the apotheosis of power, of fofee. The kultur of the fatherland, through him and his victorious armies, would be imposed upon the rest of the world. Preachers, teachers, writers and the military caste unjted id the propaganda that the German people were superior to all others; that they would be irresistible in war; that their destiny as the rulers of all of middle Europe had been too long delayed of fulfillment; that eventually they must claim their just inheritance of the earth ; that Germany was a country entirely surrounded by enemies ; that the day" for a clash of arms with the world must be hastened; and hiuch more of the same sort of lunacy,' The equanimity, not to say joy, with which they greeted each new enemy in the early stages of the world war, showed that they really believed their vaporings. A few of them retained their mehtal balance. It must be believed that many of the inarticulate masses still are sane. But they are neither felt nor heard to any extent " 'I as yet. Apparently nothing less than a slaughter of the misguided soldiery, with consequent terror and woe of the civil population, will serve to disinfect the general moral life.

The malformed braggart who calls himself supreme war lord boasts incontinently of the power of his mailed fist."

Autochir, Name for a Truck Train Carrying Special Loads s 1 r ,1 X y t . - - V The word autochir has been Invented by Americans In France to describe a truck train carrying a special type of load toward the front The first syllable of the word Is easy enough to understand; the seknd Is from the word chlrurgleal, the old way of spelling surgical. The Bed Cross motortruck trains, which have been given the name, carry a complete tent hospital of 200 beds. One of the trucks transports an operating room and another a eternizing room.

The American people will be spared the burden of seven separate appeals, and the nation will hate nn opportunity to demonstrate Splendidly thut men and w omen of all creeds at home can work together, as men of all creeds over there are fighting and dying together. Dr. John It Mott whom President Wilson has spoken of as one of the ablest and most useful men of Ilia generation, has been selected Director General of the drive. It Is hiterestli to note that Dr. Motts name was placed in nomination by John G. Agnr of the National Catholic War Council and seconded by Mortimer L. Sell IT of the Jewish Welfare Board. The general committee having the campaign In cha'rge con talas such well known names as Bajmond B. Fosdick, Chairman of the Commission on Training Camp Activities; George W.

Dodge, George Gordon Battle, Mrs. Henry P. Davison and Frank A. of the fcatlonal City Bank. In every city, county and town the campaign will be in charge of the biggest men of the community. Together these seven organizations represent a work that is staggering in its proportions. They have more than 15,000 uniformed workers, standing shoulder to shoulder wltl the boys every step of the way from home to the front line trenches.Tlvey operate uiore than 3,000 buildings and ship 500 tons of supplies to the boys In France every week.

Rumania to thrown to would the treaty dogs in the arena and Serbia fed to the lions. That was when Germany was winning the war. Today these same Germans are so they would not harm the hair of a child or outrage a woman helpless caught in their trap. t When Von Hertling is capable of explaining Germanys attack on Belgium at the beginning of the war, the civilized world may listen to him in a sympathetic manner but not before. Von Hertling seeks to draw a parallel between Belgium and Greece. The fact that the Greeks are fighting heroically on the side of the allies proves Greece was not coerced, but that the overwhelming body of the people were with their premier. There never was a Grecian woman or girl mistreated by the troops of the allies, not a child bayoneted or an old man shot. What is the record of the Huns in Belgium ? Russia is charged with responsibility for the war, notwithstanding the German ambassador to Great Britain directly fixed the crime on Germany., America is referred to as war crazy, and to this is attached the slur that the Americans are enjoying huge profits in supplying the nations with war material. This is keeping up the old German lie that America went into the war as a g venture, when the truth is this country was doing so much business before our entrance into the struggle that our factories were running beyond normal capacity and were compelled to turn away orders. When the Lusitania was sunk America had sufficient cause to, enter the war, as that was a direct attack on American men, women and children. Hoping to. avoid the horrors of war, America was patient beyond endurance. Repeated warnings were given the Kaiser, 'but the only answer was a farcial reply, including promises which on their face were not intended to be x fulfilled. to-giv- SUMMEFTSMiUri 3 R3 13 by law bection 3 If approved by the electors of the State, this proposed amendment shall ta(o oircct on the fit si day of January, . v Approved March 12, 1917 I.
