The Burkhardt Incident The faqt that Burkhardt was forced to kiss the flag is of no special significance viewed merely as an incident, but is .of great importance when it is considered as a manifestation of the temper and spirit of the patriots of this community. Burkhardt hurled the unspeakable epithet at our flag, and thereby insulted the American people. The patriotic zeal which impelled Kirchenbauer to report the insult and the prompt investigation by the County Council of Defense, show that the community is fast resenting the slightest attack on our war aims. . . If patriot's want to crush out pro-Germanism in Wayne county, they can do it by prompt attention to every disloyal utterance and act. A splendid piece of machinery has been perfected to handle disloyal cases, and all that citizens need to do to see it operate is to report disloyal men and women. " Burkhardt belongs to a type that is as dan-

the custom of the social group and varies with the various groups. Real standard for all there is none, and Nietzsche does not hesitate to call his followers "immoralists." "Morality, being that which produces good for the group, is not a good over it. The group owes no service to anything beyond itself ; nor as creator of good and evil is it subject to its own creation. . . .The members of one group may deceive, rob, kill, those of another group without, the slightest self-reproach. In a famous passage (infamous, some would say) Nietzsche describes a highly moralized race, its members self -restrained in their dealings with one another, and showing all manner of mutual considerateness,: delicacy, of feeling, loyalty, and friendship, falling on a" stranger race, murdering, burning, ravishing, torturing, and with no graver feelings than those of students on a lark." As to God, the Superman will replace God. "The task of the race is' to create these Lords or Gods if you cannot create a God, Zarathustra says, stop talking of one." There are two conclusive objections to Nietzsche's religion: the scientific and the practical. The Scientific. Development depends on struggle for others. no less than on struggle for self. If the weak were left to die, the Supermen could never develop, for the struggle by the strong for the weak is necessary to develop the strength of the strong. The effort of Germany to destroy France is destroying Germany the Germany of Kant and Hegel, of Goethe and Schiller, of Luther and Froebel. The struggle of England to save Belgium is saving England the England of Cromwell and Hampden, of Words-

irerous as the German agent who will 'plant a

bomb under a railroad bridge or set lire to a fac-i worth and Browning, of Martineau and the Arn

olds. If Nietzsche s parents had acted on the philosophy of Nietzsche, their son would never

tory. . He is a carrier of disloyal contagion. He infects citizens whose loyal constitution is run down to badly that it has no power of resistance against disloyal germs. Let a disease carrier communicate with them, and they become infected and quickly spread the malady. Kirchenbauer's system was strong enough to ward off the insidious "bug" and virile enough to carry him to the County Council of Defense to ask that the disease carrier either be cured or quarantined. ? : Kirchenbauer performed a patriotic service which citizens will do well to emulate.

Nietzsche's Religion Americans have noticed many reference to Nietzsche's writings in articles that have to do about Germany's course in the great war. They have read that Nietzsche's influence dominates the war party and controls the habits of thought of the common people. Perhaps they have been unable to summarize Nietzsche's philosophy into a few thetical statements that explained the references and made clear what the man taught. The Outlook in this week's issue prints a review of a book, entitled VNietzsche, the Thinker: A Study," by William Mackintire Salter. We reprint the article for the explanation it offers readers who wish to understand Nietzsche and his influence on the Germans. The text is appended: In a book recently published William Mackintire Salter gives a friendly interpretation of Nietzsche. From it we gather the material for the following paragraphic summary of Nie- . tzsche's "religion." . . The object of life is the creation of the "Superman" Nietzsche's ideal of what man is to become as- the product of evolution. Such individuals as Alcibiades, Caesar," Frederick II,. Leonardo da Vinci, Caesar Borgia, Napoleon, Goethe, Bismarck, are approximations to the type. Such types of humanity have not been sought; they

have been dreaded. The contrasted type has been

willed, trained, attainedthe domestic animal,

the social animal, the sick animal, in a word, the

Christian. The Superman or group of Supermen will have world control, the sooner the better. We must cease endeavoring to preserve the sick and the feeble. Our duty to them is "to help them pass away. . . .They may come to choose their own passing away, dying then in perhaps greater dignity than they have ever lived, and almost winning the right to life again." As with individuals, so with races. "Races that cannot be utilized in some way may be allowed to die out." Perils, disasters, wars, are all desirable, both because they develop the noble qualities in the strong, and because they destroy the weak. "It is no small advantage to have a hundred Damocles-swords over one thereby one learns to dance, comes to freedom of motion." There will come a great war, the war for an idea, for the rule and organization of the earth; and in this war Nietzsche's higher men will lead. Morality furnishes no objection, for "there is nothing obligatory about morality. The only moral authority is general or social." It is furnished by

have survived his infancy, for infants survive only because they are cared for by their stronger parents. Even Romulus lived because he was suckled, not devoured, by the wolf. ' The Practical. The test of philosophy is, does it work? How Nietzsche's philosophy of egotism works this war is exhibiting to the world. Teach a naturally truthful, ingenuous, kindly people that man has not inherited a moral nature from the Father who begot them, that the law of life is the selfish will of the strong, and the inevitable result is Belgium, Serbia, and Armenia. Compare the description which Nietzsche gave to his own disciples of the possible effect of his philosophy on the group which should adopt it with the historical account by eye-witnesses of the effect which that philosophy has had on the citizens of Berlin, as reported in the January "Atlantic Monthly:" "In the almost tigerish rage which followed the Belgian opposition, the .Germans became a people characterized by cruelty al

THE MEN WHO CAME BACK (Coprrishted By Brttih-Cndian Recraittng Mission.)

By Sergt. Major H. E. Saunders, 10th Canadian Infantry BaUllion When one Canadian can clean up three Germans with a bayonet I heard of a case where a fellow finished six of them it looks as it we knew more about handling the rifle and bayonet than the enemy. I didn't pay much attention to It when I was training. Thought it was more or less of a joke and Just something to keep us working. But 111 tell you now that when you're . in the front line and get the order to go over the top you have just one thing to look forward to your rifle and your bayonet your best friend then. After nine months in the, trenches I was wounded and after coming out of the hospital I was given three months' instruction at Shorncliffe in bayonet fighting. When I was: again fit to go back to the trenches, beadquarters said I was more needed here. I figured that I could take only one man's place over there and as they said, this would help most. So I have been giving instruction to officers and privates ever since In bayonet fighting.

Our methods of handling the bayonet are far ahead of the methods of the Germans, as results show. They hold the rifle high, leaving the lower part of the body unprotected. We have better, ways of guarding ourselves. Our position that we start over the top with is better by far and our action is quicker. We go ahead

and go fast and our boys are taught to

stop at nothing. I went over .with the very first bunch from Canada. ' I figured that it

was better for me to go and let the older married men stay at home, 6o

instead of going to business in Detroit, one morning J just "joined up."

The next day I went home in the Canadian uniform and got my parents

reconciled to my going overseas. My two younger brothers wanted to go one was 16 and the other 19, but for there there was "nothing doing." Two years later, however .they followed suit and alsb enlisted. It seems a strange thing that I was wounded on the same spot where they were made prisoners the day before at Messines, Nov. 17th. We hear from them only occasionally

Ten thousand pounds of horsemeat consumed in New York every week. There will never be any scarcity of beef in the big town so long , as the horses bold out.

SOME FELLOWS WOULD RATHER WRITE THAN BE, PRESIDENT. " What has become of Car-ran za's press agent? Who is president of Mexico nowadays? Such is fame. Too bad too bad. Remember when old Uncle Venustiana and his whiskers were spread all over the first page every edition, when he started in to lick the United States, one state at a time? And Veeyah. that double-distilled, quintessence of poison ivy, that bloodthirsty bandit how tame he seems. Bet he is knitting sweaters now.

Priscitla wears a new short skirt, Yet something Is amissShe doesn't look just right, somehow, Her limbs are built like this: ( ). The sugar profiteers cannot be accused of wasting their sweetness on the dessert, etc. The government is looking for a design to put on the new thirteen-cent stamp. If it is to be a symbol of tough luck, why not use the phiz of the Crown Quince.

Thumbs were turned down and kept down. A deaf ear was turned to the cries of distress which followed the accumulated wretchedness that the decision entailed. What psychology can analyze the mentality of a peaceful, law-abiding people suddenly imbued with a lust for blood ?" The war of the Huns against civilization is correctly characterized by the words of an unnamed American professor quoted and condemned by Mr Salter: "Nietzsche in action."

Conquest and Kultur "The whole history of the world is neither more nor less than a preparation for the time when it shall please God to allow the, affairs of the universe to be in German hands." From a speech by "an educational authority in east Prussia."

United States Marshal Tom McCarthy is right. A man is either an American or he is an anti-American. A man is either loyal or he is disloyal A man is either a friend or an enemy. These are war times. No middle ground. Note a headline says: "Storm Destroys Hundreds of Thousands of Tons of Perishable Food." It is supposed, then, that the imperishable food escaped. We know a man who is hoarding two gallons of gasoline. He is going to use It to clean his Christmas necktiesi There is just one gilt-edged best bet chalked up on the boards at the present moment, and that is that Uncle

Sam, the new conductor of the unified railroads, will hold his Job indefinitely. A few good things may come out of the war. Who knows? WHEN A GUY BEGINS TO BLUFF HE HAS GOT A WEAK HAND. NOTE W. HOHENZOLLERN. His satanic majesty is gaining in popularity these days. He doesn't seem like half so bad a person as he used to be. Come to find out, the Old Boy, by comparison, is almost a mollycoddle. He is a piker, to say the very least. Most of us feel bo kindly disposed toward him that we could walk up and slap him on the back and say, "Hello, Sate, old scout, here's to you!" His little imitation hell doesn't . impress us any more. The allies have only one war aim at present. They are aiming at as many Germans as possible.

"One can not rest neutral in relationship to Germany and the German people Either one must consider Germany as the most perfect political creation that history has known, or must approve her destruction, her extermination. A man who is not a German knows nothing of Germany. We are morally and intellectually superior to all, without peers. It is the same with our organizations and with our institutions."

ERSONS who attended the investigations of the last

few weeks in Washington got an idea of one reason why the Navy Department has shown favorably

in comparison with the War Department. The responsi

ble chiefs of the army were elderly gentlemen. .One of

them, for instance, had been in the service forty-five years and remembered all about the army system in the days of Indian fighting. The men from the navy were aggressive men of middle age, full of energy and vigor. They were right on the Job every minute. The difference between the War Department and' the Navy Department in war preparations might be set down as about twenty' years.

DINNER STOUIES The old lady was going to Pittsfield to visit a daughter, arm took her seat in a railway coach for the first time in her life. During the ride the car in which she was seated was thrown down an embankment and domolished. , Crawling out from beneath the debris, she spied a man who was held down in a sitting position by hla legs being fastened. "Is thi Pittsfield?" she anxiously asked. ;.,'''

"No," snapped the man, "this is a catastrophe." "Oh!" ejaculated the old lady. "Then I hadn't oughter get off here!" "Money talks!" said the man who tries to be severejy practical. "Bettern that," replied Mr. Dustln Stax. as he signed another Red Cros3 check. "My money has quit ordinary conversation and is learning to sing 'The Star-Spangled Banner.' " "What is more pathetic," asked the sentimental young woman, "than a man who has loved and lost?" "Well," replied the man of experleac. "a fellow who has bet about $20 on a sore thing asd found out' that

he was wrong is entitled to a nook at the wailing place.". "What did you get out of that will case?" asked the first lawyer. ' "A hundred and fifty thousand dollars," replied the second lawyer. "Good round sum, eh?" "Yes, but I thought the old man left more than that."

A little girl who had been taken to church cast her eyes, : for the first time, on a group of choir boys in surplices, and very much disturbed her mother by inquiring: ' ".Are they all going to get their hair cut?"

COAL CARDS ARE ISSUED IN N. Y.

NEW YORK, Peb. coal shortage in New York City and state has now reached an alarming stage, according to reports made today by various fuel administrators. Factories stores and public institutions in large numbers have closed, It is reported, and unless relief comes noon others will be forced to shut down. The fuel supply in many hospitals in this city is reported to be low. Reports from up state indicate that the situation is even worse than in New York City, one administration describing it as "dreadful." Much suffering has been reported in virtually every county in the state. To alleviate the suffering among the poor here, the administrators have set aside 200 tons of coal daily, which will be dstributed In small lots by red tickets only. Holders of these tickets are given priority over all other orders by the dealers. In case the dealer refuses to honor the red ticket, the holder is instructed to notify a policeman. Arrests and prompt "prosecutions are promised by the administrators. Mayor Hylan, in a letter to the administrators, charges large coal dealers with profiteering at the expense of the poor and urges that the price be reduced.
