That was only fifty B Such was the sudden debut of Ger?man militarism. Germany as a nation | j*** 7 had just come into birth. Its success fwas spectacular and immediate and had a profound effect on the history Germany took as a reward for her victory over France the two provinces of Alsace-Lorraine and one billion dollars indemnity. Bismarck did not want to take all of these provinces, but the German General Staff was insistent that Ifetx, the great fortress that has never been captured by any army until it was taken by the Germans in the Franco-Prussian War, should be on German soil. It is possible to trace the present war, which has taken us from our homes and peaceful pursuits and put so many of us into a uniform and carried us far across the sea?it is possible to trace this great war back to German greediness regarding Metx. _ France was stung to the quick by * her defeat at the hands of the GerLmj mans in 1571, a defeat due largely to ' the unstability of her governments * >*. (she had a so-called empire at the beginning and a sort of republic at the JBH end). At the finish of the war she was '0- without an ally in Europe. frflU France refused to remain prostrate. j>ne paia on ncr nuge lnacnrnnr, rcorganized her army and devoted herself to regaining her place in Europe. Thanks to the blundering of German ^ diplomacy, she soon secured an alJV - . liance with Russia. Bismarck noted with great nervcuar xfcraCTc ness quick recovery of France . a^cr ^er defeat, ^ P^yed his cards with fumbling hands. At this time - ^ : Russia inflicted a serious defeat on "~^nr=: Turkey and concluded a treaty of . - peace that brought her to the Bosphorus. The European powers could not permit this expansion on the part =B 5rcat autocrat to the north and called a congress in 1882 at Berlin. rfT England, especially, feared the RusKlflfJ ^ sian bear at Constantinople, where x I Persia and India would be well within M- S f\ reach of his paw. Bismarck was anxions not to antagonize England. IngD^yj| deed, to avoid doing so, he had already W allowed the old alliance between Ger25t\jfk many and Russia to lapse. Now, at /fa die Congress of Berlin, he permitted the Russo-Turkish treaty to be torn lAO to shreds and a new peace treaty con,/ / y eluded that robbed the Czar of the i nip ^ in " "'A American soldier* now in camps in .* this country, or at embarkation points, can aid materially in winning an important campaign before they ever see I the field of honor in France.

The Russiani always blamed Bismarck for this dip lomatic defeat and for a generator the Petersburg statesmen used to say 'The road to Constatinople is via Berlin." France, isolated and degrade* by Bismarck, found Russia, alienate* by the same statesman, willing t< come into the partnership, Germany, realizing that she hac enemies to the north and south, anc none too- sure of her ally on the east opened negotiations with Italy anc formed the unnatural Triple Alliance It was unnatural dccause austria ant Italy have always been tradition* enemies, and when the time of tesi came in 1914, Italy refused to abid< by an unpopular and undexnccrati< arrangement made by a former gov ernment. Germany further played her card badly by backing Turkey, a natioi which was extremely unpopular witl Italy, since just before the preset* European War, Italy and Turkey fought for the possession of Tripoli and France was thus enabled to coo Italy's affection for the Triple A1 liancc by approving her policy ii Africa. Germany as a nation is the yonng est of the big powers in Europe, bu has made more diplomatic mistakes ii the last fifty years than all the res of the countries put together. W< must not forget that even Bulgaria and Turkey, only two years before th< present war began, foueht bitterly against each other and the relation* between these two countries have beet none too cordial since that time. When Austria sought war with lit tie Serbia, Russia, the leading Slai nation, could not see the Serbs, wh< are Slavs^thus trampled down. When Russia went to tne rescue o: Serbia, Germany declared war on Rua sia and on France, her close ally The German diplomats had decidec that England would not fight, bu Great Britain threw her fortunes 01 the side of France, with whom she hac "a cordial understanding." Thus it is easy to trace hack fron Russia to France the original blundei of the punitive peace made by Ger many 1871 because Ac Gcrmai Staff wanted the fortress of Met* which necessitated the taking of al of Alsace-Lorraine. No greater military bully than Ger many has appeared in the world ii modern times. Her success in 187! turned her head and made her states men believe that if militarism wen combined with scientific management and the people's soul subordinated t< a hideous national immorality anowi as "knltur," world domination woul< follow. Bat the world refused to b< dominated. THE BUD not want her people to crack ben eat] the strain; does not desire the foot o conquest set on her ruh cities and ye fertile lands. How does she hope t< avert such catastrophe? The answer | Propaganda!

We may well imagine such stalrawms as these. ^ "Germany it beaten enough there is no more need to audi her. Lcfs have peace.

The German* arc an inteffigent race?it would be a crime to wipe out their hearthstones. Let as boost for peace." Every man in a military camp in the , United State* should write home to l his in other, or roster, or imuUmhI, ' and his friends, warning against this \ conspiracy to weaken our arms. There - is no more patriotic' public in the ! world than that of the immrdtole : relatives and friends of men in our i service branches. A word .to them ' NOT A HAN | In one of the thousands of letters ' from the front that have been poh> limbed in the daily press during the ; past few weeks wss this passage: | "Sir Douglas Haig mimed our , regiment yesterday. Daring the cereI monies a British aviator flew over the I field. He passed directly over our men, at one time flying so low he was within twenty-five feet of the bayo' nets. "Not a man looked up I "Marshal Haig thought this was the finest tiling in the whole ceremony. He turned to the commanding general I and said, *1 didn't believe it possible . that you could have developed an i army so highly trained in so short a , timer" So that the record may be qoht I cksr, let all the facts be known about l mat particular regiment, it is not one > of the recently created regiments that composed the group of divisions origI inalty designated as the National 1 Army.

Germany is still a long way from beiag decisively beaten. Behind her armies are well-equipped forces and factories for equipping new dmsions and renewing the martial spirit Every vestige of soch Prussian preparedness must be destroyed before peace can be thought of.

These regimeats are equally well disciplined. It is the situation all over again of the man who said he would rather be an ancestor than have one. All our troops win do wefl in France. Intbe first place, there is the great motive of our participation; in the second place, there is the environment hi which we have been nut luted. Many of ue may have been needlna, indifferent; many of us may have taken our advantages for granted. J But the great object lesson has been learned. < (T ' Our men abroad have seen the monstrous results of a different theory of government from that which they have known.
