IT TAKES LOTS OF FAITH. Somehow we would have mors faith In Germany's reformation U we knew that the Hohenzollerns, not the parent Tine alone tut all of them, were chained up In some SL Helena and not within a moment's call of Berlin living in luxury. There are vast numbers of Germans still loyal to the self-styled Count William Hohenzollern. We would have more faith in Germany's reform and revolution if Mathias Erzberger wasn't raising his voice f-o loudly in recounting .the virtues, excellencies and, above all, the Just and peaceful and humane attributes of the Germans. When Germany in February 1915, was rapidly approaching the peak of her fiendish brutality our files show that Erzberger wrote: "The greatest ruthlessness is in reality the greatest humanity. If it should be possible to destroy the whole of London that would be more human than to allow one of our fellow countrymen to bleed to death on the battle field, because such a radical cure would lead most speedily to peace." Perhaps they have tione so, but we never yet heard i f a leopard changing his spots or strawberries growing on a gooseberry bush. Wo would have more faith in these stories coming out of Germany about starvation and lack of food if we hadn't seen that late picture of old Fritz Ebert, the chancellor, with the fat just burst- . ing out oT his skin and looking more like one of the big.iowled hogs they raise down in the county. It looks as if he had denied himself nothing. It is going to go again?t the grain in the United states to go shy on sugar, wheat and fats and know that those Prussian, junkers and the high-born ladies i-pat on the food they gave to prisoners are being fed at our expense. We want to see the old men and women, the poor I ;t!e boys and girls and the babes of Germany fed and would pull up our belts many extra notches to see that :f'ov got it, but to feed the barbarous braggarts of autocracy and militarists who robbed prisoners of the food bi.xes sent them by their relatives in this and other j.I'ied countries why, it makes us see red, that's all.

GERMANY'S BELLY IS EMPTY. Germany has awakened from her dream of world domination with patches on her pants and hor belly empty. The hand that was raised a few months ago to exact tribute is now extended to receive alms. The resonant voice of the dictator has become the whine of the mendicant. All of the iruperiousncss has gone out of her manner, It has been suyplanted by servility. la the heydey of her orgy of violence she shouted tvith glee at each announcement of the sinking of cargoes of precious food. Now she howls In fright lest she shall starve to death. A loaf of bread has assumed greater importance in her eyes than a place in the sun. She ought to be compelled to cat the ra's that are said to be overrunning the country. Our humanitarian instincts will forbid us to let the German people die of starvation, even though that fate is better than they deserve. Wc shall bo Just, but. there will be no considerable inclination to be unduly generous, because we know, even in thi3 hour, if the power were suddenly placed in her hands Germany would turn and rend us. She is on her knees through necessity, not inclination. She has given everything to the maintenance of her army and navy which in turn has destroyed enough food to have supported Germany in her hour of need. There is wheat and other food products aplenty awaiting shipment in some of the far countries, but It will take time to transport it to those places most in need of it. In the meantime we shall be compelled to make such provision as we can for feeding the mouths that have cursed us and saving the lives that would have taken our own. But If Germany Is hungry she should lose no tine in placing every vessel available at the service of the allies in order that they may be dispatched to Australia and other lands where food supplies are going to waste because Germany has made it impossible to move them. - The error that we stand most in danger of falling into the present moment is undue solicitude and sympathy for Germany. When we find ourselves Inclining

to lachrymoseness over the fate of the German people It will be well If we do not lose sight of the things that the people of Belgium and France have undergone for more than four years. They not only contended with hunger hut they fought the well-nourished and relentless Hun armies at the same time. No mouthful of food should go to Germany that Is needed elsewhere. But even eo, there will be enough to provide for her immediate needs if we continue to exercise reasonable measures of conservation. Nevertheless the American people have a right to demand that Germany proceed to comply with the terms of armistice immediately and carry them out In good faith before we concern ourselves to an unusual degree with her hunger Lafayette Journal.

THE PASSING

SHOW

ACCORDING TO THE PROPHET ISAIAH. "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou come down to the ground which didst weaken the nations! "For thou hast said as thine heart, I will ascend Into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north. "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High. "Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. "They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms? "That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? "All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one In his own house. "But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slai. thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcass trodden under foot. "Thou shalt not be Joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people; the seed of evil doers shall never be renowned. "Prepare slaughter for his children for the Iniquity of their fathpr; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. "The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked and the sceptre of rulers. "He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger Is persecuted and none hindreth."
