VIRTUES OF GERMAN RACE HELP WORLDCIVILIZATlON Edgar Iliff Sees Calamity to Progress if Slavs of North Break Spirit That Has Always Stood for Love of Liberty and Religious Freedom and Has Lent Liberalizing Influence to Puritanic Forces of America's Early Settlers.

BY EDGAR LIFF. A little comparative history will show how much the spirit of the German race has done for civilization and what a calamity it would be to the world if that spirit were broken by the northern hordes of Slav and Tartar. As far back as the Teutonic or German race can be traced we find the general love for liberty. Tacitus, the Roman historian tells us that the Teuton was distinguished for his independence and his domestic virtues. In war or peace the ancient German took counsel with his wife. He stood for the one woman and the one man heart to heart, shoulder to shoulder, soul to soul. Seldom in its history has his race ever been disgraced by such hideous condition as in the courts of Charles the Second of England or Louis the Fourteenth of France. When corruption seethed around the German race that race stood for the purity of its women and the sacredness of the hearthstone. Stand For Freedom. Another significant fact. The Germans not only loved liberty for themselves but they never enslaved others. When tho Slavs and Russians made dogs and slaves of their prisoners, when the English church bishops and nobles were making money out of the slave trade, when the Dutch were conducting a great slave market, when the Americans were steeped to their very lips in the most infamous system of slavery that was ever known, the German race was liberty and liberty giving. For these reasons, for these stupendous facts, the Germanic race should receive our homage. The German race has never been hypocritical. It has been out and out what it is. When the New England Puritan enslaved his fellow man and persecuted for religious beliefs the German was running his own spiritual development and certainly produced men and women of the deepest piety and most liberal minds. When the fanatics of Europe were thirsting for Voltaire's blood Frederick the Great gave him full protection and told him he was free to pursue his studies. The over righteous Puritans in New England, pretending that they were here to reform this wicked world, sent molasses-rum . across the water and brought backj the heathen black slaves in the same ships. All this was done with nasal psalm-singing, doleful prayer and holy Bibles with gilt clasps. Germans Good Settlers. It is a question if this country had not been better off if the Germans had settled New England instead of the Puritans. We would have escaped much that is not to our credit, such as howling stump speakers on "the land of the free and the home of the brave." We see today that the German element among us is liberalizing and that we have Puritanical fanatics with whom there could be no living; ( Jt

Prettiest Girl

Her name was Elva, and her charm was in no way diminished by her great age for she was nearly eighteen, while I was only twelve. How well I remember her deep soft eyes, like purple pansies, her dainty little nose and adorable mouth t And her color was a soft, clear pallor against which the scarlet of her lips was startling. were not for the counteracting German spirit of truth and freedom in private matters. There is one very marked difference between German literature and the English. German lit erature seems to have no place for such hypocrites as Dickens has given us in Pecksniff, Uriah Heep and Reverend Stiggins. Taine, the French historian of English literature, says that such frauds can be found only in England. German literature has no place for such contemptible excuses as the Crawley family held up to execration by Thackeray. No one contends that the Germans are without fautls. No, but the German has this merit of honesty. He does not put on a long face and cry "world-wide prohibition" and then go behind, the door and take a drink. If he uses family beverages he will calmly indulge in them in his front yard or in beer-gardens before the whole world, and little he cares for your criticisms. And that spirit of independence is valuable in this age of AngloSaxon hypocrisy where one pretends to be good for revenue only. Just here the English historian, MacCaulay, fits in. He said: Spells of Morality. "We know of no spectacle so ridiculous as the British public in one of its periodic fits of morality. Every seven years our virtue becomes outrageous. We cannot suffer the laws of religion and decency to be violated. Accordingly some unfortunate man, in no . respect more depraved than hundreds of others, whose offense has been treated with levity, is singled out as an expiatory sacrifice. If he has children they are taken from him. If he has a profession he is ruined. He is, In truth, a sort of whipping boy whose vicarious agonies satisfy the virtuous public with 4ts boasting morality. Our anger is fed, our victim broken hearted, and our virtues go to sleep for seven years more." In the partnership now existing between England and the most detestable government on earth, Russia,' it is well to remember that England always sounded the alarm and tocsin of war if the Czar menaced India. England's alliance with Russia is purely mercenary as nearly all of her : policies are.

Often I have asked about her, and have received many replies. One said she had married a Russian Prince, another that she no longer lived. Then again I heard that she had married an American millionaire. Somehow

all that I have heard seems to fit. For she was as near a dream girl, I think, as ever lived. Germany threatens England's' markets. Sound the tom-tom and the cymbal. In the American revolution, in her treatment of Ireland, in her disposal of the Boers, in her forced opium trade, in her Sepoy rebellion, in her Bashi-Bazouk atrocities, in her eagerness to see the South whip the North in our Civil War, In her employment of Indian devils to prey upon American settlers, in her efforts every where to crush out manufacturing competition in all these and more England has been moved by the love of gold and the power that goes with British gold. In the interest of common humanity, England, Russia and France bound together by lust for brutal power on the part of Russia, desire for revenge on the partsOf the French, and the love of money on the part of England, should be restrained and Germany left to take her rightful place in the world and continue her influence for liberty and peace.

This dispatch is regarded as most significant in view of the fact that Wavre is only 15 miles southeast of Brussels. In indicates that, despite the continued claims of victory made by the Belgian' war office, the Germans have been able to push their front, steadily forward toward the Belgian capital. v. Wavre is near the battle-field of Waterloo and it was there that the French under the Grouchy unsuccessfully engaged the Prussians in one of the engagements Just prior to the main battle.

TENNESSEE ARRIVES WITH GOLD SHIPMENT FOR (j, S, TOURISTS

Steady Departure of Ships for American Ports Cheers Stranded Patriots. BY LAWRENCE ELSTON. Staff Correspondent for International News service. LONDON, Aug. 17. The arrival her of the United States cruiser Tennessee and the Battleship North Carolina, with over $8,000,000 in gold ana the steady departure of English ships for American ports has relieved, almost totally, the anxiety that the stranded Americans felt when war first broke out, and temporarily marooned them. " Distribution of the gold that is to be alloted to the Americans in England began today, and there was a rush of Americans to exchange their money orders, letters of credit, and traveler's checks for specie. . The majority upon receiving the gold rushed to the Bieamsmp onices ana engaged passage from the first ships sailing for America. The resumption of traffic on most of the English lines, and the liklihood that the service will continue with fair regularity, has checked the first mad scramble to get aboard the boats sailing for American ports. Wealthy Americans who a week ago would have been glad to get back to their home land traveling in steerage are now insisting upon first class accommodations and will wait until they get them.

KAHN PREFERS

RUSSIAN BALLET New York now has a better prospect of seeing the Russian ballet from the Imperial opera house of St. Petersburg than it ever had since this company electrified Paris and London. Otto H. Kahn, the American banker, was present at one of the performances of the ballet at the Drury Lane theatre, where the Beechams are conducting a combined opera and ballet season, and was so impressed that he came to the conclusion that New York must, at aU costs, have the opportunity of seeing the troupe in its entirety. He communicated his views to Guilio Gatti-Cas-ezza. Palladium Want Ads Pay fONttEYS
