THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM. SATURDAY, AUG. 17, 1918.

Indiana, as Seoond Class Mail Matter. MEMBER OK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Associated Press Is exclusively entltlod to the use for republication of all news dispatches credited to It o aot otherwise oredlted In tikis paper and also the local ews published herein.

German Worries The Most High is being heckled on all sides. Marshal Foch is taking a fall out of Ludendorff and Hindenburg on the west front ; Russia

is coming out of the spell which the Bolsheviki cast over it; Soviet troops have been forced to evacuate Moscow and allied troops are moving rapidly southward from Archangel; the general staff, noting a dearth of reserves, has been forced to reprimand generals for their wanton sacrifice of soldiers, and most important of all the German press and people are in the slough of despondency. Maximilian Harden, the outspoken editor of the Zukunft, a few days ago, again violently attacked the Prussian policy and warned of the storm brewing on the Russian steppes. "Are our rulers desirous," he asks, "of sup.porting the plans of the adversary and in uniting in one single fire all the sparkling flames which are burning or smouldering between Vladivostok

and Sebastopol, between Murmansk and Fiume?" 'And then he strikes at the very heart of the teuton system with the complaint that Germany is dominated by the "idea of bondage." Theodor Wolff, in the Tageblatt, declares that the day is gone when events in Russia can

be pamted In bright colors, for the Germans have underestimated the power of the Czechoslovaks. He also insists that the parties that welcomed war with America should explain their stand to the German people in the light of the reverses on the western front, attributable to American intervention. The flight of the German embassy from Moscow proves the failure of Germany's policy in Russia. News dispatches from Amsterdam say that the whole German press is asking the government to break its silence regarding war aims and besrin

a propaganda throughout the empire to tell the people what they are fighting for. "More than ever it is now necessary to raise the spirits of the

German people," says the Hamburger Nachrich-

tcn. "Toe two reverses which German arms have suffered have produced a deep emotion in the German people." A writer in the Vossische . Zeitung ' departs from the immediate military outlook to discuss the gloomy conditions that may prevail after the war. He fears the "iron ring" which the enemies of Germany will put about her to prevent industrial expansion. "If the economic position of Germany is to be rebuilt our sorely tried people must have access to the supplies on which our economic greatness depends. In no other way can we reconquer the markets we have 'lost. Of what use to us are our most brilliant victories if, at the end of the war, our industries are to wither away? Our sacrifices would be in vain. Ger

many would remain burdened with debt and unable to pay for the heavy new armaments which will be necessary after the war, in spite of all the ideas of a coming international brotherhood of men. Our enemies must understand that we are a3 yet determined to tolerate no economic yoke as we are resolved to defend our fatherland." The unrest at home and the nervous apprehension of the soldiers at the front are reflected in the conference which the Most High, Emperor Charles of Austria, and their advisers, is holding to discuss "political and military questions." The murmurings of the people in both Germany and Austria are an important indication of the

lowering of the morale at home. No nation, even if its spirit has been tempered by military discipline, can Withstand four years of the pounding mm i m m i . " .

exrects oi modern wanare witnout snowing signs of breaking, especially so if victory is growing more distant every day. The kaiser is beset with problems that cannot be solved by nis military advisers. The finest fruit of German manhood and military training, backed by the greatest array of guns and supplies, tried to hack its way through the allied lines this year and failed dismally. The menace on the western front is growing greater with the arrival of every American transport. The results of the four German offensives this year have been vitiated bv the failure of the fifth blow and the

attacks of Marshal Foch in the Rheims-Soissons

salient and on the Picardy front. May well the Most Hieh contemplate what it !

cost him to make his gains since March 21 and compare it with what the Allies gained since July 18 at a minimum loss of men: Captured more than 70,000 German prisoners. Captured 1,200 guns of all calibers. Captured thousands of machine guns. Captured enormous quantities of munitions and supplies. Regained 1,800 square miles .of territory which the kaiser won since March 21 at the expense of cannon fodder which he cannot replace. Then let him consider that the first American army is now functioning on its own accord, that the new man power bill calls for 4,000,000 men in France by next June, and that the aualitv of

these new reserves will be just as good as that of the men whom General Humbert described as fighting "with an ardor that is unsurpassed." Small wonder that the collapse of his Russian policy in the east, the failure of his submarine on the seas, the impotency of his Zeppelins in the air, the inability of Austria to whin Italv on the!

Piave, the defeat of his crack Prussian guards by the Yankees he underestimated and whose prowess he despised, the wrecking of his 1918 campaign by Marshal Foch, the weakening morale of his soldiers, the cries of his people for bread, the prayers of his women for peace, the demands of his editors and publicists for a new declaration of

his war aims, the sullen insistence of the masses

for a participation in governmental affairsshould make him feel,the potency of the old adage, "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown".

and more particularly so when it is studded with the thorns of the horrors of the sinking of the

Lusitania, the deportation of Belgians, the destruction of holy temples and sacred shrines, the devastation of northern France, the pillaging of Poland, and all the countless acts of shame and disgrace that pollute his policy of schrecklichkeit (fearfulness), and make his name and that of his people a byword for everything that is loathsome and foul.

U. S. WAR EXHIBIT AT INDIANA FAIR (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 16 The U. S. government will send several carloads of war exhibits to the Indiana state fair, where they will be shown without extra cost during the eight days of the fair, beginning Aug. 31. The exhibits form the largest display that the government has ever sent to a tate fair and they will make clear to the exposition visitors the manay kinds of machines and meth

ods Uncle Sam is using to win the

war. The finest machine guns ever made, and the kind Americans are now using in France, huge shells and hand-thrown bombs; depth bombs used by our submarine chasers, and various kinds of apparatus for use on land and see are to be shown, includ

ing moaeis or the big battle ships. The preparations the war and navy departments have made will show the public the gigantic forces the govern

ment 13 using to whip the Huns, while the departments of agriculture, food and forestry will show what is being done by Patriotic Americans at home in supporting the fighting forces "over there." The government exhibits will have moving pictures as one of the chief features, the many films to be on continuous exhibition in a black ten on the fair grounds every day, also free to visitors. The films will show the fighting in France, cantonments in America, harvesting scenes in rh hie-

wheat fields, the huge lumber activities in the northwest where timber is being cut and sawed for airplanes and other war uses.

and William the world's greatest pacers, for a purse of J4.000, which will be held on Sept. 4. The State Council of Defense win

Tears of Ferdinand

From the New York Times. WHAT tender heart will not be moved, what lachrymal ducts will refuse to work overtime, at the beautiful sentimental legend sent out of Germany that Ferdinand of Bulgaria poor soul! is so broken down that he weeps involuntarily and bountifully, early and often, and that the sympathetic Kaiser has sent an

expert in neurology or crocodilology to "observe" his dear

tnend and brother. This accomplished artist in political corruption, this cynic who as Prince was morally responsible for one famous assassination and as King said, with prophetic insight, "I intend to be on the side with the assassins," this inheritor of the high moral principles of of the Coburgs and the Bourbons must be laughing at the English and American credulities on which he has long tried to play. What in the world could he find to weep about unless it be that as he recalls his so humane treatment of the Serbians, on all that concantenation of robbery and massacre, a pious tear may fall from his eyes as

he thinks of that fine old, early Bulgarian hero and philanthropist, Krura, who used to drink his wine out of the skull of the Emperor Nlcephorus? Ferdinand is no sentimental burglar. He leaves that sort of thing to the Kaiser and Karl Rosner.

Moment

FROM THE PRIMER. Egbert's Perseverance. When Egbert was but a Young Lad he decided to try his Fortune In the Great City. Before he left Tankville, His Father called Egbert to him and paid: "Egbert, always remember that Perseverance wins. Be faithful to the Task and thine shall be a Great Reward." "Thank you, father," said Egbert, and left for the Oreat City and the Great Adventure. Egbert was a Good Boy who didn't smoke, swear or knit. Egbert secured a position almost at once with Peabody & Co., and in only

rive tears had worked up to Assistant Bookkeeper. His salary was Eighteen Bones per week, just as regular as Saturday rolled around. Egbert was always First in the office In the Morning and the last to lave at Night. He always helped Mr. Pfabody with his overcoat and evenings he would go up and mow Mr. Peahody's lawn. Other men, not so persevering as Egbert, came and went Higher. Egbert held this for position twenty-two years and Always took care of Mr.

Peabody s coat and rubbers. One red-letter day Mr. Peabody called Egbert into his Office and Bald: "Egbert you have been with us twenty-seven years and you have been faithful. From now on wou will be head bookkeeper and your salary will be Twenty Dollars every week." "Oh, thank you. sir!" exclaimed Egbert. "You are too Good to me!" Moral: Perseverance Wins. The Duke Adolph Friedrich of Mecklenburg has accepted the crown of Finland. IX there is anybody who holds a

grudge against Adolph Friedrich. let him now gloat. The duke is about to get all that Is coming to him. It can be announced now that Der Tag has been indefinitely postponed. "Six Alien Enemies interred." Headline. Unfortunately, we might say most unfortunately, this was a misprint. It was meant for "interned," of course.
