The Tap-Root of the German Errpr Every error draws its sustenance through a root that goes down deep into the soil of universal evil. There is such a tap-root in this German enormity, and every American citizen ought to know exactly what it is and where to hit it with his ax. We think we know, and mean with all our might and main to try and tell. The whole damnable onslaught upon civilization grows out of the infamous political proposition that "the state can do no wrong." This is the corner stone of the German system. Upon it rests that whole prodigious fabric of falsehood and cruelty which has filled the world with "frightfulness." Individuals can do wrong. Institutions other than the Government can do wrong. All may be summoned to the tribunal of justice and punished for lack of conformity to fixed and rigid standards. But the state that sacred organism, that mysterious person "the state itself can do no wrong at all !" No laws, no ethical principles exist superior to its will. Whatever it does is right because it does it. It may break treaties, murder women and children, sink passenger ships, trample neutral countries under its iron heel, commit any and every horror and sanctify them by the simple act of commission. It is the dethronement of Almighty God ! There are no words in any language ever spoken by the lips of men to express the utter enormity of this error. It is the quintessence of unreason and evil. Set over against it the conception upon which the Government founded by our great forefathers rests. In their belief even the greatest and noblest Government of the world was responsible to something other than itself. It was under the

most solemn, the most unavoidable obligation to show "a decent respect for the general opinion of mankind!" It could be held accountable before the solemn tribunal of the judgment of the human race for its every word and deed. Before that august throne of Justice Assyria, Babylon, Egypt. Rome and even Germany must stand and tremble like the veriest criminal in the Tombs. Between these two conceptions there lies the whole diameter of being. They are the antipodes of politics and are mutually exclusive of each other. Believe the latter and you ally yourself with progress, with liberty, with justice, with morality, with democracy. Believe the former and you identify yourself with tyranny, injustice, robbery, cruelty, paganism, hell upon earth. Duplicity, deceit and diabolism abide at the foot of the deadly upas tree. Its tap-root must be severed. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Month of Big Drives From New York Evening Sun.

THE time of major offensives has come in the war zone. March is the month of desperate fighting

and of the initial development of great strategic plans. Henceforth the war news may carry any day the first intimation of America's forthcoming drive against the German front. The bitterly cold winter weather has now passed from the western battle line and the thaws have ceased for the most part to make quagmires of the shell holes in front of the trenches. Whichever side desires to move first to the new attack will probably select this month for the initial assault. Last March the French and British made their most effective joint attack of the war in the west, which was followed by the Great German retirement to the famous Hindenburg line on March 18-20. At the same time the British army at the other end of the war area in Mesopotamia moved forward and March 11 captured Bagdad. In 1916 March saw the maximum effort put forth by the Germans to capture Verdun. The beginning of the attack on the fortress was advanced by the Crown Prince to the last "week in February for the purpose of securing the benefit of a surprise assault. But the heaviest fighting fell in March, and it was the March defensive of the French army that broke the back of the German movement. In March, 1915, the British started their first spring offensive, which resulted in the capture of Neuve Chapelle. The Russian advance in Galicia broke through the Austro-Hungarian defenses in March, 1915, and "captured the great fortress of Przemysl, and further to the south invaded Hungary. Unless a new precedent is to be established in the world war March, 1918, must likewise help make history on a major scale.

DINNER 5 TORIEi The policeman glared at the offender. "You stepped right In front of that car," he said sternly. , "If the driver hadn't turned sharply you might have been killed." "True very true." "Were you trying to commit suicide?" "No; I took out an accident Insurance policy yesterday, and I was just experimenting to see what sort pf protection it would give me. By jinks, it worked like a charm."

The evangelist was entreating his hearers to flee from the wrath to come. "I warn you," he said, "there will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth." At this point an old lady in the gallery stood up. "Sir," she interrupted, "I have no teeth." "Madam," said the evangelist sternly, "teeth will be provided."

Moment

A "CHANTIE." They are digging up the old "chanties' for use In the navy, and maybe they will use some new ones. We are constrained to present the following: "Reef the scuppers," the captain cried; Steer her ntrrow anil steer her wide. And if you sight a submarine Give her a shot in the bally spleen. And there'll be some wldders in old Cologne, If Dusseldcrf and along the Rhone. So mind jour hellnm and steer her well; No bum steer goes for war Is well, You know what Sherman said." Will II. Hays, the new chairman of the Republican committee, may be the goods all right, but we do wish he would sign his name "William" or "Bill" or "Billy." Seems like Tammany could take a fellow named "Will" In one bite. The burning question of the hour leems to be whether parlor car portrrs shall be placed In an advanced ?alary or shall be allowed to collect tips as usual. The porters themselves arf divided upon the subject. Offhand he would say that any porter who is willing to take a chance nn tips he is able to collect In wartime ihould be given the opportunity. Where do all these countries come 'rem, anyhow Esthonia. Mespotamla, Finland. L'krania, etc., etc.? About time for somebody to dig up Timbuc:oo and Tibet and put them on the nap again. Consular report says Canadians are In the market for incubators, wooden ?i!l boxes, wire mouse traps, machinery for making porous plasters, and nowshoes. Some war, what? Trof. John Fiske, In his "History of the American Revolution. tells of a British officer to whom a New England farmer served a dish of succotash. The fentleman in the scarlet uniform spilld the beans, also the corn, saying that rich food was fit only for hogs. But the boatloads of succotash that iro crossing the Atlantic eastward these days are not unwelcome over there. Of course, nobody in the world likes rorn or cornmeal, but there are several things that are better than starving to death. "What part will Africa play In the future of the world?" asks the revered New York "Sun." Let her rlay the banjo and trombone parts, the same as she has always lone. And just think The world used to consider the Cossack A very devil of a fellow A fiend incarnate. Bloodthirsty, relentless and cruel. And now be is a nice quiet. Little pacifist. There isnt an ounce of harm In him.

THERE IS NOW NO QUESTION OF MOTOR TRUCK ECONOMY The cost of hauling with an International Motor Truck today Is little less than one-half the cost of doing the same work with horses, provided the truck is kept reasonably busy. An International Is always ready for work. Its steady, day-by-day, year-in and year-out service, due to Its built-in quality, and to the prompt service we give International owners, makes this truck especially economical. Compare the International engine, frame, springs, rear axle and wheel drive with those of any other truck sold to carry equal loads. Then consider that this truck Is backed by a seventy million dollar corporation with 76 years of manufacturing experience and with 90 direct company branches in the United States seven of them in Indiana. Where can you get greater assurance of steady service and low hauling costs? There are four sizes of International Motor Truclr. 1500, 2000, 3000 and 4000 pounds capacity. All are built with a durability that moans a reasonable first cost and lowest last cost. Write or call on us for literature and full information.
