GREATEST HARM (CONTINUE* FROM PAGE ONE) delegate from this country. His two Children remained In Europe to study and are now there. He is a brother of Mrs. John Brock of this city and Mrs. Luckey is a sister of Mrs Dr. J. S. Boyers. The Nebraska State Journal. published at Lincoln, Neb., gtves the following interview witli Prof. Luckey: “The greatest harm that can result from the impending European struggle," said Dr. G. W. A. Luckey yesterday, “is that all Europe will be set back at least a half century in the progress of civilization. The death of thousands, if not millions of the countries’ finest will hinder the developement of art, science and literature. It will set back the whole world fifty years. The spirit of peace that has been nurtured so carefully for the last several decades will have been destroyed." Doctor Luckey is watching anxiously affairs in Europe. He studied philosophy in Germany for several years in his student days and has made a number of trips there since. He spent last summer with bis family in a tour of points of interest in Germany and studying people and affairs. Doctor Luckey has two children, Bertha and Paul Luckey, who are stuyding in Germany. They have been spending the year at the university of Goettingen in Hanover. Since the recent war trouble broke out Doctor Luckey has heard nothing from them and believes that the mails must be interrupted. He believes that the recent order to foreign students to leave the country applies only to English and European students. H<has made no arrangements for the return of his son and daughter who will remain in Germany unless the unexpected happens. Where News Leaks Out Slowly. Doctor Luckey has seen enough of Germany to know that the methods of censorship are very strict in that country. If the rulers want anything suppressed they are pretty well able to see that it is done. All foreigners are kept under the closest surveillance. The peculiar German manner of registering strangers makes them available at any time to the authorities. When the students were told to leave the schools they received their money in German paper. Many of the students have large sums of money in banks which are able to withdraw only in the form of banknotes. They are unable to use this outside of the German frontier and are consequently penniless. The railroad trains are in the hands of the government. Passengers who board a train at a station have no way of knowing whether they will ever reach their destination. „Tbe German people seem to want war,” said Doctor Luckey. “The higher classes look forward to Germany becoming one of the biggest nations in the world. They wish to see the kaiser become a second Bismarck or Frederick the Great. Their ambitions are set at a high point. It is a sort of hero worship. The German homes contain pictures of great soldiers and the whole nation possesses a martial spirit even in times of peace. “Last summer I spent a considerable portion of my time investigating the country people of “bauermen.” Those who raise the small grain crops of Germany take pride in the army and wish to see it maintained. They look

upon it as a sort of Insurance whereby they receive protection for their crops and pay in a certain sum lor the maintenance of a standing army. Willing to Pay the Cost. “The farmers are in constant fear after they plant their crops lest they be seized by French or Russian troops. The presence of an army in the vicinity is the best kind of Insurance and they are willing to pay for it. The cost amounts to about 5 per cent of the money received. “The socialist parties in Germany and the European countries where the party is strong were taken unaware by the sudden declaration of war. While strongly opposed to warfare of any kind they have been unable to check the preparations now under way on the continent. Ordinarily the socialists would have been strong enough to make a stand lor peace but now they are preparing to fight along side of their countrymen. In France the socialists feel that they’ must fight, with their brothers who have been attacked and party tenets counts for nothing. The assassination of the French socialist leader last week came because certain patriotic citizens believed that he was working against the welfare of France. Differences Almost Forgotten.

“The men who fought in the great Franco-Prussian war had almost forgotten the differences that made them fly at each others throats. At the peace conference of Geneva, the French and German delegates were sociable And to all appearances were on the most friendly terms. Now

comes this war that will steep another generation in blood. For another fifty years men will nourish hatred against one another and world peace will receive a lasting blow. One cannot foresee where this struggle will end. The entire boundary line of Europe will probably be changed. It is awtul in its aspects. What the result will be we can ouly imagine.” ■ — -o— — For Wayne & Springfield Ry. Company. TIMA TABLE. Northbound.
