"What Have I Not Done?

"What have I not done to preserve the world

from these horrors?"

So asked the Kaiser a few weeks ago as he viewed one of the sanguinary battlefields of the

western' front.

Belgium, Poland, Serbia and Russia might answer with torofane directness. Thousands of

widows and orphans might shudder at the ruth .less brutality of the query.

: A survey of the Kaiser's method of warfare

;is the answer of civilization. A few of the "nor

irors" which the Kaiser introduced to the world

I follow: " ; "Frightfulness" Explained by the War Cy

clopedia as "the German method of warfare .whereby they mdke war terrible in the hope of ! winning victory through fear. Deliberate, sys

tematic and calculated terror conceived and or

dered for the purpose of striking mortal fear

: into the hearts of f oemen." "Kriegs-Raison" In the words of the GerJman War Book, "What is permissable includes every means of war without which the ; object of the war cannot be obtained." Or in 'other words, no rule of civilized warfare need be observed if military necessity requires the perpetration of barbaric acts. t "Notwendigkeit" The German word for ( necessity. Under the German interpretation of ithe term, mercy, righteousness, civilization, law ; and order can be ruthlessly violated. ' "Spurlos Versenkt" A German phrase ' meaning "sunk without leaving a trace." Count j Luxburg, the German minister at Buenos Aires, 'in a secret telegram advised that Argentine ' steamers be sunk without leaving a trace. Unjder this code, the German submarine commanders shell small boats in which refugees of torpedoed steamers try to escape a watery grave. "Family Honor and Right of Life and Proper;ty" The Hague regulations provide: "Family i honor and rights, the lives of persons and property, as well as religious convictions and practice must be respected. Private property cannot be :onfiscated." What the German soldiers did to ; the inhabitants of Belgium is such a shameful page of history that decency prevents re-print-; ng the atrocities.' "Atrocities" Belgians and French tell of ivounded soldiers massacred, women outraged, I :hildren maimed, villages plundered and burned, sacred places outraged, ministers and priests in- : suited and massacred. I "Ruthlessness" Pastor Baumgarten in i Deutsche Reden in Schwerer Zeit says: "We i are compelled to carry on this war with a cruelty, : a ruthlessness, an employment of every imaginable device, unknown in any previous war." : Hence, the sinking of the Lusitania, liquid flame I mustard gas, poison gas, Zeppelin raids, Belgian deportations, the destruction of Rheims, the burning of Louvain dissemination of poisonous germs, firing on hospitals and Red Cross units, sinking of hospital ships, employment of prisoners of war in exposed trench construction, pillaging of villages and looting of churches, the killing of prisoners of war, and other accompaniments of the Kaiser's system of terrorization.

strum horrendum, an unprincipled man of gen-

Only a diseased mind or a barbarian, untouched by civilization and the gentle influence of Christianity could ask: "What have I not done to preserve the world from these horrors ?" After ordering these atrocities, or conniving at their perpetration, the Kaiser, with mournful mien and sorrowing heart, tries to salve his conscience and deceive the world with a question that presupposes he is sorry for the conflict! Who could take him seriously? Who could believe that remorse was gnawing at his heart? Perhaps his calloused conscience, aroused by the moral consequences of his guilt, momentarily sounded an alarm that found expression in his question, but led to no reformation. Students of the Emperor's career in the last four years see in him a personification of a sentence in Poe's Purloined Letter "He is that mon-

1US.

Matching Brains with Brains President Bryan of Indiana University believes that strength which is not directed by brains is inefficient. He applies this principle to warfare, asserting that "it doesn't matter how brave soldiers are, they can't win the war unless they are directed by brains." His observation is fundamentally true. The menace of Germany to civilization is the brain power with which she directs her brutalities. No one wants to emulate the depraved intellectual acumen of the Germans, for intelligence that asserts itself in the application of ruthless submarine warfare, the studied violations of civilized methods of warfare, and premeditated attacks on the sanctity of the home and the church, is criminal and vicious. It is comparable to the intelligence of a burglar who will murder to attain his end. . But the world can make a right use of intelligence to thwart the insane use which Germany is making of this endowment. Just as the police department matches its brain power with that of the criminal and in the end checks him, even if it takes months to do it, so the Allies and the United States by a concentration of brain power must defeat Germany, for the Kaiser has no monopoly on brain matter. The co-operative concentration of the best minds of our country and our associates in this war, directing our military affairs and shaping our campaign, will in the end win the contest. Returning to the example of the arch-criminal whose deeds baffle the police for many years, it is well to keep in mind that no immoral man, no matter how carefully he conceals his methods, can in the end escape justice. Since crime is immoral, its perprator always makes one move that is unnatural, and always leaves one fatal opening that leads to his defeat. Detectives operate on this theory when they begin unfathoming a crime, and usually it leads them to success. Germany is a criminal among nations'. All her brain power cannot stave off that accusation. If a criminal cannot escape the law of compensation, a nation of criminals cannot dodge the workings of that law. Sooner or later retributive justice will single her out for defeat. She cannot escape the penalty for her immoral acts. The weakness of her position will reveal itself presently, and then the moral intelligence of her opponents will vindicate itself.

"Y

World Not For Youth

From Detroit Free Press

OUNG men for action; old men for counsel."

Youth for enthusiasm and initiative; age for discretion and caution. A reporter's misunder

standing of an intended-to-be playful remark of Dr. Osier, as to the "scrapping" of men of 60, will always be remembered in this connection. Men of that age resent it. The war has taught men who had begun to think of themselves as "getting on" that they need not be sidetracked. It is up to them. Men who have made good are being called to positions of influence and importance, and years have nothing to do with their service or their value to "the country in the places to which they have been assigned. Charles M. Schwab, who is to superintend the building of United States shipping, is 56; General Maude, whose dying injunction to his men was to "carry on," not lose the goal they had won, was 55. Sir Douglas Haig is 57. Each has passed more than twothirds of the scriptural allotment of life. The same is true of thousands of others who in various capacities, in army, navy, business or civil life, are demonstrating that though this is the young man's age, the middle-aged and even the elderly, are not on the shelf as has-beens. There are no set limits to youth or age. Each is a condition of mind and body rather than a matter of years. There are men not yet 30 who impress others as being contemporary with Methuselah; there are others who are 70 years young. This is "the young man's age" only because it offers chances that his father, even his older brother, never had; there is no reason why men of middle age should not grasp them. Men accustomed to the same routine day after day get in a rut. They do not keep physically fit, allowing themselves to get the middle-aged spread; they become slovenly in dress, which seems to betoken a mental slovenliness. They lose self-reliance and fear responsibility, which is what Business pays for. As Henry Irving Dodge says: "Too many men set 40 as the 12 o'clock of their lives. They should set 70 for the 12 o'clock, if any time at all must be set. The big men of the world never put any age limit on themselves. The 12 o'clock of their usefulness is rung by the sexton." There is rejuvenation in exercise, in play, in care for personal appearance. And there is an economic influence in external rejuvenation which reacts upon the mentality, keeping the individual alert and up to date. Youth finds its golden chances in the present era; they are not denied to the older man who has not lost his grip or who can regain it.

URGES RELIABLE SEED CORN TEST

"Testing seed corn by the eye is not a reliable method," said J. C. Kline,

Wayne county agricultural agent, Mon

day, while citing the results of a seed corn test he has just completed in his office. ,

Kline said that a certain farmer in

Wayne county had been selling seed corn at $5 oer bushel which h riaimod

he had tested, and promised farmers

wno purchased it that the corn wouid grow. Kline learned, he declared, that

me iarmer naa been really testing the corn with his eve.

Upon learning this Kline said that he secured several ears of the corn tested them thoroughly by a reliable

meinoa m nis oince. "I find that onlv 26 ner cent nf this

corn will grow,' Kline said. "In other

woras b4 ears out of 100 on the average, will not grow at all or mature in Wayne countv. This sh riws finw un

reliable is the eye test. Farmers who

nave oougnt this seed corn and planted it will get a very Door stand this voar.

"I cannot impress upon the farmer

ioo strongly me ract that his seed corn must be tested by reliable methods if he wants to raise a good crop of corn this year. "Every ear of corn to be used as seed should be tested by the individual method. That is, five kernels should be taken from each ear and tested in a rag doll tester, or some other that is equally reliable. I have warned the farmers of this several times and tried to impress upon them the importance of following this advice. I cannot repeat it too often."

DINNER ST.ORIEJ Farmer Turnipson had brought his young son David to the city to see the sights, and toward the end of a long day was dragging his 250 pounds up the steps of the great mounment. Long before they reached the top the father was regretting that he had allowed his son to persuade him to undertake such a tiring journey. "Look, father!" exclaimed the boy when they had at last reached the top. "Isn't it a grand sight down there?" "Well," puffed the elder Turnipson, "if it's so grand down there, what in the name of all that's wonderful did you bring me up here for?" - He was a mine-sweeper, and, home on leave, was feeling a bit groggy. He called to see a doctor, who examined him thoroughly. "You're troubled with your throat, you Bay?" said the doctor. "Aye, aye, sir," answered the sailor. "Have you ever tried gargling it
