Chancellor Von Hertling An examination of the extravagant claims of Mathias Erzberger, leader of the Centrists, that the appointment of von Hertling has changed Germany from an autocracy, into a democracy, shows that this far from true. The Hohezollern lynasty is still firmly in the saddle and the people are still subject to the bit and spur of the Kaiser. The most conclusive proof against the assertion of Erzberger is the fact that there has been no change in the government of Germany. The new chancellor is not the choice of the people or of the Reichstag. The Kaiser appoints the chancellor and he is responsible to him and not to the people. If the elevation of von Hertling had been accompanied by a revolution in the methods of German government, if it had included reforms that would have vested governmental authority in the people, Erzberger would have had some show for his claim that democracy had superseded depotims. " Von Hertling possesses many admirable qual

ities. He is not a man of blood and iron who believes that the sword, has supplanted the dictates of justice and righteousness. He is a resident of Munich, a statesman, and an author, Although a Bavarian, he believes in a strong centralized governmental control, vested in a Kaiser, and asserting its power in all the departments of the state. The imperial idea of government is uppermost in his mind. His hatred of the Pan-German mania is offset by his repeated declarations that the German people stand behind the Emperor to a man. Now all of us know what the purpose of the Imperial German government in this war is, so that Count von Hertling's appointment, in reality, presents only the name of a new chancellor and does not destroy the object and aim of Germany. The situation in Germany is precisely as it was when Bethmann-Hollweg was chancellor. A change in names but not in spirit.

most legislation and can block most of that it does not originate. ' ; - Therefore, the Bundesrath rules Germany; the Reichstag only talks about it. Who rules the Bundesrath? The Kaiser. As King of Prussia he appoints seventeen of .its fifty-four members. Only fourteen members are enough to block any amendment to the constitution. Germans merely go through the signs of governing themselves. The new members of the Reichstag are merely going into a debating society. The Kaiser will still be the re'al government of Germany. Germany is not a democracy. Germany is a one-man government.

' Germany's Fake Democracy By George F. Reynolds, Department of English, Indiana University. America is a democracy. We vote for our Representatives, our Senators, our President. England is a - democracy. Englishmen vote for the members of the House of Commons, and though the House of Lords is largely an hereditary body, the Commons, if it persists, can pass any law over its veto. The King is mostly a figurehead with little governing power. But Germany is not a democracy. To be sure Germans vote for members of the Reichstag. But the Reichstag has very little power, except that of debate. It can discuss governmental affairs, but when its discussions do not please the Kaiser and the Bundesrath it can be summarily sent home. What is this Bundesrath? It is not like our Senate for its mema bers are not elected by the people, but are appointed by the rulers of the various states of Germany and its members are obliged to vote in accordance with the wishes of their over-masters. It is not like the House of Lords for it originates

Not at War But in War It is taking the people of the United States a long time to realize the truth of this statement. We are "in war." That means, each of us, even if we are not shouldering guns, is actually in a state of warfare against Germany. A foe is threatening our national happiness and prosperity. Each of us will bear the burden if Germany wins the war. It's no use to look at this conflict in an impersonal manner, satisfying our sense of personal security with the thought that our soldiers are in the trenches or preparing for the struggle. This war concerns each of us as individuals Each of us has monetary and political rights at stake, To safeguard them we must fight. If we are prevented from being at the front because of physical disability or the necessity of taking care of dependents, we must do our bit by buying Liberty bonds, contributing to the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., assisting in food conservation, and participating in the patriotic movements to which our government calls us. , We are in war to compel a nation to respect our rights. If that nation is not brought to its knees, we will be forced to pass beneath the yoke and pay a captive's ransom. Heavy sacrifices must be made because we are

m war. cut transcending all expenditure ot numan blood and of money is the great issue for which civilization is making its last stand.. If Kaiserism wins, democracy is doomed, our liberties are forfeited. If democracy wins, the world will respond to a new spirit of liberty.

Children and Animals From "The Babyhood of Wild Beasts." WILLIAM T. HORNADAY, director of the New York Zoological Park, has contributed a Foreword to "The Babyhood of Wild Beasts," by Georgia M. McNally, just published by Doran Company, and illustrated from many photographs, in which he says: . "I believe that every normal human child is born with a natural love for wild animals, and a desire to know them intimately. That this universal instinct sometimes is suppressed, and its tendrils often reach out In vain for something to which to cling, is not the fault of human nature, but environment. It is because of that pathetic desire to know the beautiful wild creatures of the world that we have zoological parks and gardens. "The child or the adult who grows up, lives and dies without having had a chance to become personally acquainted with a lot of interesting wild animals loses much out of life. "All healthy children are interested In animals, but most of all are they Interested in young animals. Naturally, also, it is the wild babies that appeal most strongly to the great universal motherhood instinct in woman, both tame and wild. I once knew personally a black bear cub that was literally nursed in the depths of a snowy Maine forest by a human foster sister; and both were happy ever after. "If a woman cannot write of jungle babies sympathetically and understandingly, who can? With Miss McNally, the love for wild animals and their offspring is no passing fancy, nor a fad of a day or an hour. It is good to know how the little four-handed and four-footed folk impress a perfectly normal, genuine and old-fashioned American girl. It is no cause for wonder that, her acquaintance with wild animals should have created a desire to set forth their babies, in word and picture, for the pleas, ure of.others. "Let us hope that old-fashioned human and humane Interest in our living wild animals never will die, and that our love for young animals never will grow old. The better we know wild animals in life, the less we will feel like reducing them to a state of deathand of minimum Inter-

THE HA-HA BIRD ' A Ha-Ha lit in the old Plum tree And he said to himself, he says, says he. Oh,' this is the tree for me, for me; I will build my nest, oh, so carefully.

The greatest stunt in this old Plum tree. So Business and Time and Efficiency, Windy and loud as they could be, Pronounced a last and flnai decree And called all to witness that Papa Ha-Ha and WE Have the only right to this old Plum tree For we are the acme of Harmony. But alas and alack, the old Plum tree Became so sick of their company It shook them out and shook itself free Of the old Ha-Ha and his fledglings three. "He Ha-Has and Dodos can't roost on me." And this Is the tale of the old Plum tree. Dr. W. W. Zimmerman.

"I wish to report the clerk in your office,", said the irate spinster of mature lyears to the manager of the seaside hotel. "She's most impertinent." "How so, madam?" "I inquired whether my rooms . had been reserved, and she called out to

the porter, 'Do you think this lady'e sweet Bixteen?'" v And it tooK the manager a quarter

of an hour to convince her that "suite" sixteen was meant. A case of new-laid eggs upon his back, the toiler made his way along the pavement. Guess what happened? It did! Ruefully the man regarded the scat tered debris of shells and running yolks. Then he proceeded gingerly to collect the few eggs that had remained unbroken.

A passing pedestrian volunteered a cheering word. "My poor man!" he exclaimed. "Have you dropped your eggs?" The luckless one scowled. "Oh. no, sir!" he answered, acidly. "No. indeed ! I'm just giving a free demonstration ofour new system of open air cooking. I'm making an omelet!" "What a brilliant conversationalist young Mr. Jenkins Is. Do you know him? - Really, it's an education .to listen to him talking.". "Yes," said gentle Mrs. Smith, "I have met him." "You must have found him very entertaining. He" can talk cleverly and wittily for an hour at a stretch." "Then when I met him," said Mrs. Smith, "it must have been at the beginning of the second hour."

A LITTLE SLICE O' LIFE. War has Its advantage. The other day I was In need of a trifling amount. It meant a good deal in my young life, But I couldn't seem to interest others In it I went to one of my friends And he began talking about the war And the horrors of it, and he talked two hours. . I tried another and he began talking about The German advance In Italy And what it meant to the Allies. He talked until lunch time. The third man began talking about The fod shortage, and the fourth Man I approached talked of war in All its phases until evening. Then I got to doing It myself, And I forgot what I went down town after. The great war makes business worries seem trifling. 1 They say war makes money easy. And it does easy to spend. . Henry Spink, of Mineola, L. I.. Is seven feet three inches tall. He is believed to be the original long islander. THE SORROWS OF SYLVEST. Sylvest was downhearted- as he pulled the old street piano up to the curb and began to unwind "The MarseUaise." When he came around with the tambourine, we asked him the cause of his gloom. "Eets lika dees, meester," he said. 'I have got too moocha troub. Day behln' yesterday I was playa da or plan' when a sufferidge parade she go past. I no know da suff parade the was comln' an I keep on playa da pian' to geta da nick from. da crowd on da sidewalk.
