A Liberty Loan Thought Go at the Fourth Liberty Loan as if the Germans were trying to hold you back from your objective. Remember, it is to be a short campaign and the volunteer who goes the limit and does it early is the man who won't be ashamed to wake up at night and find himself in his own company. Don't wait until the last day. Don't compel the committee to come around and see you. Don't subscribe in the hundreds if you can count your holdings in the thousands. George Ade.

German Colonial Dreams

Says the New York Times: It is curious to

see German professors, journalists, and world politicians building up "Mittelafrika" even since the growing disaster that began on July 15. .Thus the Kreuz-Zeitung, the voice of military Junkerism, says that "among the demands upon which Germany must insist in a victorious peace !is the rounding off her colonial territories in 'Africa, East Africa, Togo, and Southwest Africa 'will form the cornerstone of a united German '.Africa." Rubber and palm oil and a full list of tropical economical necessaries engage a multitude of German colonial experts. As library colonizers, the Germans are a marvel. Not long ago Mr. Lehmann kindly restored and enlarged Germany's African colonies. Gobbling South Africa was child's play for him. German Africa would be made so much more valuable by German permanent control and occupation of the coal and iron lands of Flanders and France, and of the Flemish coast. He even threw in most of the British mercantile marine for good measure. Whom the gods would destroy! Of these megalomaniac dreamers, dividing Africa while Germany is shaken at home, the moderates, the Centre, would be content, at first with the Belgian Congo and enough of French and Portugese West Africa to make an uninterrupted German Africa between the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean. The immoderates, or Right, the Kreuz-Zeitung school, annex South Africa, and by gigantic grabs in West Africa bring Togoland and the Cameroons into Middle Africa. Paul Lensch, a Majority Socialist Deputy, though he doesn't agree with the Kreuz-Zeitung that the "splendid military material" in Africa

should be exploited, yearns as strongly as the greediest Pan German economist for palm kernels and other colonial products. Why has German milk production fallen "almost by half" ? Because there's no oilcake for fodder. Home foodstuffs don't produce so much, don't "give such good measure as tropical products, which are ripened by a far fiercer sun ; and where these tropical foodstuffs are lacking, the output of milk, corn, sugar, and hides sooner or later falls, and the material basis of our existence is at stake." In short, without Africa, German babies, as Mr. von Mach would say, must starve for want of milk. Mr. Lensch solemnly, or funnily, affirms that Africa must be organized by German State Socialism. Meanwhile, the fact remains that all German Africa, in extent between 900,000 and 1,000,000 square miles, is in the hands of Germany's enemies. It is true that the competent and cruel German commander in East Africa, Colonel von Lettow, and his forces have not been caught. In so vast and difficult a region, in the obscurity of the African bush, it is "practically impossible," as General Smuts, who tried it for ten months, says, "to inclose an enemy determined to escape," but German East Africa, though it still affords a hiding place for von Lettow, is no longer German. Knowing the German cruelties to natives, knowing that no promises could bind Germany to abandon the military exploitation of her African colonies, knowing what a detestable neighbor and sower of. sedition and insurrection she is, knowing that her occupation of African ports and command of sea routes would be a permanent danger to peace, is the restoration to Germany of her colonies, let alone any extension of them, likely to commend itself to the free world?

The War and Child Labor From The Outlook. A Proposed war measure (avowedly so, and maintainable only as such) is the Keating Child Labor Bill, now before the House. It would directly prohibit the labor of children under the age of fourteen years at any time and of children between the ages of fourteen and sixteen for more than eight hours a day or at night in mills, factories, canneries, and manufacturing establishments, and of children under sixteen years of age in mines and quarries. These are the standards of the Federal Child Labor Law recently declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. The new bill seeks to restore and maintain these standards during the war by direct prohibition under the war power of Congress There Is no question of the authority of Congress to meet the present emergency In this way. The law would remain in force for the duration of the war and six months thereafter. By this means time would be given to draw up a new Federal Child Labor Bill which will meet the test of constitutionality. The Immediate need for a National law ia ; very strongly felt by those who are, in close touch with the conditions affecting children. From all over the country reports come in of greatly Increased numbers of work permits Issued to children during the last few months, of an increase in juvenile delinquency in certain cities, and of illegal employment of children.

Theatrical Men Have Pledged $150,000 for Overseas Work . NEW YORK, Sept. 12. Theatrical manaRers, at a dinner of America's Overseas Theater league here last right pledged $150,000 to entertain the men of the army and navy and alo promised to urge stars under his management to give two or three months of their time to performances at the front. In connection with the announcement that some theatrical units sent by the league had already arrived in Europe, it was stated that benefit performances were being arraged for every theater in the country. Fifty entertainers a month will be required to carry out the league's overseas program.

BUMAN MAKES SUGGESTION OF PEACE ACTION

Exchange of Views Between Central Powers and Entente Proposed by Austrian. AMSTERDAM, Sept. 12. An exchange of views between the Central PowerB and the Entente was tentatively suggested by Baron Burain, the Austro-Hungarian Foreign minister, in an address to visiting German newspaper men, according to a Venna dispatch Tuesday. Such a discussion, said the foreign minister, need not take the form of peace negotiations, but would have as its purpose the consideration of all things which are keeping the beligerent Powers apart. Baron Burian advanced his suggestion in declaring that the adversaries of the Central Powers need only provide the opportunity "in a calm exchange of views some sort of direct, informative discussion is thinkable, which would be far from being peace negotiations of discussing and weighing everything which today separate the beligerent parties, and no further fighting will perhaps be needed to bring them closer together." Crime Against Humanity. "This question arises," said the foreign minister. "Isn't It a crime against, humanity even to think of completely pulling down a structure which has become historical, and which certaintly, here and there, needs improvement, but is only capable of improvement in order to found a paradise in future on its ruins? The defect in this, however, is that, in accordance with the destructive methods of our enemies, it can only be created with a much too great sacrifice. "Count the past hecatombs of this war. Think of those to come, and ask whether striving to attain war aims at such a price is justifiable war aims in which the principle of justice is put foremost without investigating

whether an understanding could not be

reached by a fair application of that principle. "It is unthinkable that even the most confident hopes of final victory could permit the enemy in the long run to avoid considering whether the most terrific exertions and sacrifices can longer be justified in order to carry through principles which are not the enemy's monopoly or to regulate the affairs of other peoples who can manage them quite as well themselves. "I believe that careful and sincere investigation would bring many on the

other side to realize that they often are fighting for imaginary things. It

may be an ungrateful task to want to

communicate one's own perceptions of

things to the enemy.
