Murder Will Out

Under this caption, the Cincinnati Enquirer reviews the revelation of Prince Lichnowsky, the

German ambassador to Great Britain in 1914,

pointing out that with one stroke of the pen this

official reveals Germany's guilt in precipitating!

the war. Says the editorial : x For four long, bloody years the German people have been the victims of an inexcusable error with regard to the origin of this war. Their high officials, from the Kaiser down, have said, affirmed and solemnly made oath that it was begun by English aggression. Upon that monstrous falsehood their dupes have based their willingness to sacrifice and suffer as few nations have ever willingly done before. And now appears an unexpected witness on the scene. With a single scratch of his pen Prince Lichnowsky, the German ambassador to Great Britain in 1914, sweeps away this frightful fabrication of commercial, political and military thirst for wealth and power. With unimpeachable authority he declares that the Potsdam conference did take place on the 5th of July, in 1914, and that then and there the German leaders actually agreed to start the war; that Sir Edward Grey, of England, did all that possibly could be

done to sidetrack the impending disaster, and that his mediation could have succeeded but for the fact that the minds of the German authorities were unchangeably fixed upon the execution of their plans. Knowing all these facts the Prince discovered himself in af rightful dilemma. He had either to expose the villainy of his government or go against the light in his own soul, and he chose the latter alternative. "I had to support in London," he confesses, "a policy which I knew to be fallacious, and I have paid out for it, for it was a sin against the Holy Ghost." To the agony which he evidently endures we shall not add by comment on his weakness. In agreement with his solemn asseverations of German guilt go those of ex-Foreign Minister von Jagow, and out of the mouths of these two

unimpeachable witnesses the murderers of the peace of the world are finally condemned. These confessions have fallen into Germany with the explosive force of bombs descending from the sky, and have shaken the very foundations of the faith of the German people in the honesty of their leaders. How fatal thel oss of this faith will prove to the schemes of the Potsdam gang we will not venture to predict. They are pastmasters in the art of blunting the points and edges of the sharpest truth with the shrewdest and most diabolical of lies, and will postpone the day of reckoning with their outraged followers yet a while, we have no doubt.

But the suspended sword of justice hangs by

a very feeble thread, and if it does not fall by its own weight some hands will cut it soon, for as surely as "murder will out" the right will prevail.

And murder will out! These hideous

crimes cannot be hidden forever. "Truth and oil always come to the surface," says the Spanish proverb, and there are two old sayings in the

Germnn language which the Kaiser, apparently, never read, but might do so to his profit : ' "Truth may be suppressed, but not strangled."

"It takes a good many shovelfuls of earth to

bury the truth."

LIEUTENANTS IN CANADIAN ARMY BACK IN AMERICA TO RECUPERATE

American Soldiers in Action

From The Outlook

EFINITE nelws has been received that American

battalions interspersed with French, and perhaps British, battalions have been actively engaged in

the defense of Amiens. They took their places, say the dispatches, under heavy shrapnel fire and after marching fifty miles in the rain. They stand opposite the very apex of the German salient in Picardy, and they are carrying the American flag Into the thick of the fight. Meanwhile tho American detachments in the Toul sector are doing valuable and active work, as they Slave done before.

The French general who conferred the decorations, which which commemorated the action in the Forest of Apremont on April 12, declared that the conduct of the regiment on that day "showed the greatest audacity and a fine spirit of sacrifice." Not only did captains, lieutenants, sergeants, corporals, and many privates receive this decoration, but we note among the names that of the Rev, John des Valles and that of a "Chief Musician," Ralph N. Dawes, who is specially mentioner as having exhibited "the finest qualities of courage, bravery, and devotedness while commanding the regiment's litter-bearers and exposed constantly to enemy fire, running through the open terrain to the first-line trenches seeking the wounded." Such a deed, if performed by a British soldier, wouid have entitled him to the Victoria Cross.

By HAL POO Henry Chessman, who is a candidate for township trustee, and who is incidentally a justice of the peace, was voting a colored gentleman the other day who left the city for Camp Taylor with the last contingent of colored troopers. The negro was casting his ballot under, the absent voter's law, and he couldn't quite understand Just where he was going to benefit. "Well, you see, my good friend," Henry explained, "it gives you an opportunity to exercise the right of suffrage." 'For de lawd's sake, man, what you all talkin about?" replied the colored draftee. "1 guess dey is gwine to exercise me enough when I gets to dis here trainin' camp, and I thinks I'm gwine to suffer for It, too." Forrest Davis, formerly of the Pal staff, was talking with Captain McCauley, the celebrated airplane authority, over at Dayton the other day. The talk drifted into airplanes. "Well, there is one thing in favor of aviation," the captain said, "and that is that we don't make any cripples." I see they have passed a law against feminine spies. Somehow I don't quite get the Idea. How could there possibly be such a thing as a feminine spy? I thought a spy had to keep pretty close mouthed. I have yet to meet the woman who could keep a secret. And while we are endeavoring to blot out the German language over here, no doubt many of our Sammies are handling the French language In a somewhat promiscuous manner over there. Talking about genuine heroes, how

about Rupert Julian who played the role of the Kaiser in the recent photoplay over at the Murrette? Deliver me from such a role. Any Irish girls in Richmond looking for a job? Here's your chance. An ad in a nearby paper said, "Wanted A waitress at the Home Rule restaurant." According to the Burlington, MoRepublican, a high school professor took a class out to teach them something about bees. However, the paper goes on to say that the bees got busy and proceeded to give the class a bayonet drill. Over at the Washington the other night the orchestra played ."Here Comes the Bride," and one man stood up during the entire piece. He seemed to think it was a patriotic air. At that he wasn't very much off. There Is one thing about elections that always strikes me as rather

funny. Those voters who don t go to the polls are the guys who holler the

over against which they would have voted had they done their duty.

Why can't some guy invent a safety razor that works like a lawn mower? Ohio papers recently reported that a wind storm, or miniature cyclone, as they called it, picked the feathers clean off of several chickens. Say, if we could just have one like that in Richmond every Sunday morning, pretty soft for the housewives, eh? The fact that the prices of soft collars has gone up again, leads me to believe we are certainly getting it 3a the neck all around. It is said that telegraph companies are considering employing girls as messengers instead of boys, though no such action has taken place as yet in Richmond. The principal trouble with boys lies in the fact that they are liable to quit as soon as they earn enough to buy a can of tobacco, according to Fenton Cooney. Messengerettes might stay on the job longer, for one thing, as their habits are more expensive. If they do this the country

win prooaoiy have a lot more messages to send, too. . "Jug not that ye be not jugged," is mighty good advice in bonedry Indiana these days.

Moment

KULTUR advocates war as a thing that

good in itself. It claims a divine mission to rule the world. It advoates plunder as the chief end of nations. It claims a partnership with God. It declares that morals are a delusion. It advocates murder, robbery, deceit and deception. It proclaims double-healing as a national virtue. It murders the wounded and bombs hospitals. It 6hoots nurses and violates nuns. It poisons wells and spreads disease germs. It pins medals on baby murderers. Ie shells unfortified towns. It enslaves enemy civilians. It advocates the death of weak people. It scoffs at international law. It openly proclaims the law of the jungle. It places might before right.

BIKES SHOULD BE

MORE POPULAR!

"There is still considerably more than three-quarters of the one hundred million people in the country who do not ride in automobiles," writes Douglas A. Jones, author of many papers on topics relating to health, in the May number of Physical Culture. "There is really more reason for the popularity of the bicycle now than ever before," he says "The first reason is the prevalence of good roads in all parts of the country. . ..... "If we could have had the present good roads back in the early days, instead of the sandy and muddy imitations that we used to piow through whenever we got off the main street of the town, or did not find a specially built 'bicycle path,' heaven only knows to what length we might have gone in the days of the bicycle boom. "Again, there is the better quality of bicycle that one can buy now for a moderate price. Greater perfection in design and manufacture has made it possible, in spite of the increase in costs of materials, to purchase now for forty dollars a better bicycle than one could have bought for one hundred dollars or more in the somewhat experimental age. The manufacturers have, during recent years, given increased study and care to features of construction that make Tor comfort, durability and better all-around service. "England was always a great cycling nation, perhaps because the English have always been fond of walking, cross-country running and outdoor life generally. However, it is understood that since the beginning of the war the use of bicycles in England has been doubled. The scarcity of gasoline may have been a factor in bringing about this result, but probably even more important is the fact that the war industries nave drawn people out of their usual routes and made it necessary for many workers to travel greater distances to their
