Keep the Home Fires Burning! " THIS cartoon brings home to us the imperative necessity of putting our own house in order and keeping it in order. If the world is to be made safe for democracy, our own conspicuous example of democracy must be made safe for those who dwell under its protection. If we cannot conquer and control the enemy within our gates, we will be but impotent instruments of conquest over him abroad. Both at home and abroad we must rid ourselves of all hampering and distracting illu- sions and stare the facts in the face. The facts are that we arc at war, — the grim and grimy business of killing or being killed. The issues invohed in this war have been appealed to the sword, and he who lives by the sword must die by the sword. The time for doubt, debate, discussion or diplomacy is past. The onl}- thing left to do is to fight, — fight for all that is in us, — fight as long as we can and as hard as we can, and until there is no fight left in our enemies. Then and not until then is it worth while to consider other aims, — so-called war aims. The only real war aim now is victory. We must not let an\'thing dis- tract us from that essential aim.

DAVID BISPHAM. 48 r 49 The Rats in Our Home Trenches REALLY, the great question of the war is: What kind of people are the Germans? Can they he reformed, or are they incurable? All Germans are not alike. There are those who distinguish between North and South Germans, and tell us that the Saxons, in par- ticular, have in them the making of excellent people. Doubtless all Prus- sians are not alike; doubtless all Bavarians are not of the type of the "Black Bavarians" whose exploits in the war have had unfavorable men- tion. But what has come to be the image that "German'" calls up in the mind? It is an image of ruthlessness, of fright fulness, of poison gas and tracelcss sinkings ; of murder, pillage, spies and lies ; of a black and formi- dable ambition for mastery on any terms and at any cost; of treachery; of a tireless industry that gets up early to fetch away by work or wile whate\er in the world is worth taking from any one who has it! The current image of the German is an image of an enemy — a savage enemy. Since 1914 German descent has been terribly prejudiced. As to every man of German blood the observer asks himself: What manner of man is this? . The Llohenzollerns did not iuAcnt the Germans. They found, acquired, trained and used them. For centuries — a thousand years at least — the Germans have had a known and demonstrated rating for brutality and brutishness. They have been cruel in war and destructive and greedy in pillage beyond most other nations that were their neighbors. When one hears it said that the trouble with Germany is Germans, there comes to mind abundant basis for that suggestion. Yet the Germans are far too many and too useful to exterminate, and even if that were possible, no nation but Germany could seriously enter- tain the idea of exterminating a whole people. So what do we come to? To this : that Germany's fate rests in the hands of the Germans. Their qualities will determine their destiny. Along with their abilities go enor- mous disabilities. They must do according to what is in them. They must obey the demon that drives them until, out of the extreme of sufifer- ing, they gain the courage to expel it. They must destroy, and so invite destruction, until their racial propensity has wrought its own correction. They must keep on accunuilating enemies, exasperating neutrals, alienat- ing allies, until I)lind and wicked policies have perfected their work. What the German has most to fear is what is inside of him. Bv cur- rent estimate the worst that can happen to Germans has happened already, in that they are Germans. The world is not going to adjust itself to their misfortune in this particular. Tt is they who will have to adjust them- selves to the world. They will not be able to make the world an over- grown Germany in which the other jieoples will have to live under Ger- man direction. No. They will have to live in a world largely populated and managed, as now, by folks who are not Germans and don't want to be, and whose primary concern for as long as is necessary will be to keep Germans in their place. E. S. ^lARTIN. SO 51 Seeing Stars Canadian: ''''A?id you' II soon see the Stars and Stripes.^'' German: '"''Saw some already^ sir.'^ THIS is the voice that he hears from Germany: "We Germans are God's chosen people, His special favorites, and God is German Himself. God rules over us in the person of our Kaiser, whom He has appointed for that purpose. We are better than all other peoples of the earth ; we are wiser and purer and nobler and more industrious and more learned and stronger and cleverer and kinder and braver and more spiritual and more warlike than all others. "We are so much greater than they that whatever we do to advance our own interests, at the cost of theirs, is right and praiseworthy. If we kill a great many of them, those who survive will in the end be improved, because they will work for us and learn something by observing us. Any deceit is proper and morally correct if it benefits us; and when we prac- tise a policy of terror upon those who oppose us it is really philanthropy and shows how gentle we are, because the survivors learn through our cruelty that it is useless to oppose us, therefore they the sooner submit their wills to ours. We can not do wrong, no matter what we do, so long as all that we do is for our own benefit. By our bright swords we will take possession of the earth which ought to belong to us, be- cause we are Germans. We believe in the heaviest possible breeding of babies, that they may grow up and be trained to carry liquid fire and poison against anv opposition to us. All the same, we are the only real peace-lovers in this malign and prejudiced world, which, except for us and the Austrians and the Bulgarians and the Turks, is composed ex- clusivelv of stupid ruffians who were so jealous and envious of us that they forced this war upon us, hoping to make some money out of us by annihilating us. We love peace, and are fighting for our mere exist- ence — that is, the right to adjust our frontiers so that they will include the countries which we have conquered by the sword, ^^'c must never AGAIN be threatened by those rascals of Belgians!"

It was beheved in Germany: — 1st — That America would not break diplomatic relations; 2nd — That America would never fight ; 3rd — That America could not fight. Forced to it, in self-defense, we are now giving all our energies to war, led by a President, whose vision meets the extent of the calamity brcjught on the world by the selfish ambitions of material Germany. American built ships will end the menace of the slinking U-boat. And after the war the flags of the American Merchant Marine once more will float on every sea. JAMES W. GERARD. Neiij York, Jitiv 12, 1918. 54 55 " Will They Last, Father f " THE four greatest events in history; the advent of Christ, the dis- covery of America, the Reformation, and the French Revolution, are all we can compare with the days in which we are living — and dying. In a cyclone of desolations surpassing the terrors of the insane, the world, so far from recoiling, rolls forward into vast and irrevocable changes that seemed hut yesterday the remotest goals of laborious evo- lution ; rolling up the precipitous steep of custom in all the fury with which we should look to see it roll down. And the unirpie wonder of this fifth and last of these supreme events is that only it has sprung pri- marily from an evil design and can attain its true end only by that de- sign's everlasting overthrow. So speaks the matchless hand of Raemaekers. The vastest murderer the race has ever borne and, at his heels, his most remorseless waster of blood together watch the glass of time, abhorring every upward plunge of a maddened world and daily hounded by one implacable question, one four-headed dog of hell: Will their treasury, will their sinking of ships, will their delusion of their own people, last? No. One or another will presently fail, and when one fails all fail and the world, refined by fire, will be, shall be, saved. GEORGE W. CABLE. 56 57 The Ugly Talons of the Sinister Power " THE attitude of scorn, of contempt and of defiance with which Rae- niaekers in his cartoon, "America's Choice," represents Uncle Sam as he confronts the treacherous Kaiser, bearing the ohve branch in his talons, well expresses the attitude of the United States to- wards Germany at the time we entered the war, and this attitude will probably continue for a generation or two after the war ends. "The Intolerable Thing," which President Wilson so aptly named the irresponsible German Government, can never disguise itself so that we will not detect the terri])le menacing claws with which Raemaekers portrays the Kaiser. It will continue to be an Intolerable Thing until the horrors of this war arc forgotten. The German philosoph'^rs brazenly justify their nation's course in this aggressive war with all its attendant horrors, by an appeal to the Dar- winian doctrines of the struggle for existence, and the consequent survival of the fittest, which i)lay such a prominent part in biological evolution. Germany must be taught the lesson that while man is the product of evolution like all other creatures, yet in his case new factors come into play— he is a part of the animal kingdom, but is a new kind of animal, and new factors, not operative in the orders below him, have played lead- ing roles in his development. These factors are his reason, which gi\'es him a sense of the true and the false, and his conscience, which gives him a sense of right and wrong. These faculties subordinate the rule of might to the rule of right, and they have resulted in the establishment of conduct for individuals, for communities, and for organized governments that do not exist in the lower animal orders, and only in a limited sense in the lower human orders. Amid a national rejoicing, a waving of flags and ringing of bells, such as are evoked by a great national festival, the Germans celebrated the Lusitania murders — the entire nation suddenly slumping into a barbar- ism worse than that of their ancestral Huns. The Hun was again tri- umphant, gloating over his unspeakable crimes, his plunders and piracies, his orgies of crime and lust — a spectacle to make the Genius of Human- ity veil her face and weep tears of blood. It is a comfort to know that the Allies have killed or rendered harmless several million of these modern barbarians, and that many of their car- cases have gone to enrich the soil of France and Uelgium. In this way a dead Hun mav help to undo some of the e\-il which a living Hun has wrought. If two or three of their bodies could be planted in every shell hole which their guns have made in France and Belgium, though the inoffensive soil might sicken, yet in the course of years the poison of the Hun would disappear, rendered innocuous by the beneficient alchemy of Nature.

J 59 Restitution and Reparation IT is with good reason the Prussian covers the thick bone of his head with a hehnet, for into it ideas of right and justice can only l^e bat- tered with a club. The tough, club-resisting helmet is the arch-sym- bol of Prussianism. From its earliest days Prussia has taught its neigh- bors the Prussian theory of right and justice by means of a club. W'hen the Prussian wishes to educate his neighbors to an appreciation of Prus- sian ethics he ]uits on his helmet, picks up a club and slugs the neighbor on the head. The Prussian theory of right and justice is this: "What is mine is mine, \\hat is yours is also mine if I want it." This idea is deep buried beneath the thick bone of the Prussian head. He holds it with stolid stupidity and deep, prehistoric crudity, like a pig or an idiot. He cannot understand that there are any rights higher than Prussian greed. "H I want it, it is mine because I want it." It is the logic of the primitive human animal, the cave-man. Cornered and accused of his thefts he clings to his loot like the pig that has stolen a carrot. When asked to disgorge he is shocked by the sug- gestion. "But they are mine! I wanted them, so they are mine!" he says. Right and Justice answer, "They are not yours; you stole them." "Maybe so!" says the Prussian. "But just the same they are mine — I stole them a long time ago." The logic of the Prussian fills ten thousand volumes. It is written in hundred-line paragraphs and six-inch words. It can be condensed into two short words — piggish greed: piggish because it knows neither right or jus- tice, greed because it is greed. ELLIS PARKER BUTLER. 60 _L. -ou.s 1 -^,r-,-,^c,el<^/ s 61 The Only Possible Position for Traitors WIlir.E the snhniariiic controversy was at its height, a Hun hii^h in authority in his nefarious land said that it was im- possihle for the United States to enter the war, because there were a half million German reservists in our country. "That is true," replied the American to whom this contemptucjus remark was addressed; "but there are also a half million lamp-posts." Since the ( ierman reservists have failed to fulfil the expectations of the P'atherland, the lamp-posts of the United States are as yet unadorned with their lifeless bodies. But history has shown that while Americans are an easy-going race, when once their anger is aroused there is no withholding it; therefore let the traitors in our midst take warning from the cartoon upon the opposite page. One may pardon a murderer who kills in a moment of passion, one may e^■en revere a military spy who penetrates an enemy's lines to gather information needful for victory; but for the skulking traitor who whis- pers sedition within the land which harbors him and seeks to hamper the eft'orts of its government by a stealthy means, no punishment seems too severe, since of all crimes his is the most despicable. It is not to the half million German reservists alone that Mr. Rae- maekers' warning is addressed; for, inconceivable though it be, there are native-born traitors aplenty to shame the land which gave them birth. For these, the only position which will seem possible to Uncle Sam, when once his anger, ever slow to rise, bursts forth in righteous indignation, will be the one which Mr. Raemaekers has depicted. Let these traitors remember that there is an abundance of lamp-posts in the land as well as a goodly supply of hempen rope. H. C. CHATFIELD-TAYLOR. 62 63 Do You Mean to Make a Real Warr GERMANY has once more said that force, and force alone, shall decide whether justice and peace shall reign in the affairs of men, whether right as America conceives it or dominion as she conceives it shall determine the destinies of mankind. There is, there- fore, l)ut one response possible for us: Force, force to the utmost, force without stint or limit, the righteous and triumphant force which shall make right the law of the world and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust." — From President ll'ilson's Message on the First Anniver- sary of the Declaration of War, April 6, 1918. 64 r 65 Justice ! THE woman figure called Justice in Raemaekers' cartoon has a Greek nrnne. She is Themis, consort of Zeus, Themis, who sits l)y his side on the judgment seat. The scales are the scales of /Egina, in her day a great uKiney centre, whose talent was the standard of value then, as the American dollar is to-day. yEgina was the mother of ^acus, one of the three great judges of the lower world, and be it re- membered, it was .-Eacus that administered justice. yEgina is called by one of the greatest Greek poets the ])lace where Themis is worshipped more than anywhere else on earth, and he tells us further that there was much weighing in .Egina, the Merchant State. Heavy weights there were in either scale. Much care was needful in the weighing, no little balancing doubtless. So there were many in our /Egina who felt the draw of kindred, of friendship, of fellowship. But this is the Day, the Day of Decision, the Day of Lord .EZacus. After the knife edge of the balance comes the knife edge of the guillotine. BASIL LAXNEAU GILDERSLEEVE. 66 67 T Another Peace Proposal "^IIE artist has depicted a spectacled Old Gentleman wearing- a triple crown and a pontifical mantle, who is offering a proposal of peace to a heroic young woman, torn, bleeding, thorn-crowned, l)ut dauntless, who spurns it with scorn. The spectacled Old Gentleman is the Pope; the heroic young woman is, I take it, outraged Justice. Since Justice is our cause, we must try to be just. The Pope is not lying on a bed of roses. Pie is in a position (jf the utmost difficulty. He has faithful adherents on both sides, he dislikes war, and finds his perplexities, great enough in time of peace, now magnified an hundred- fold. He is not a hero; he is old, he is a lover of ease, and would dearly like to wear a Iving's crown and hear multitudes in .St. F'eter's crv out "Papa-Re, Papa-Re." Let us be just. The first Pope (according to Ro- man Catholic reckoning), received the grace of a great opportunity to be true to his Master, but he denied Him thrice. Why should we be sur- prised to find Benedict XV denying his Master? Fate has held out her hand to him, as she held it out to St. Peter, and offered him his oppor- tunity to be greatly true. In the old happy days when all the world cried "hosanna" to Justice, the Pope also had professed himself a disciple of Justice. But now Justice has been taken by bloody-minded men to be crucified, and the Pope has stayed afar off'. Many witnesses have re- marked, "This man also was a professed disciple of Justice." And now the Pope denies it vehemently. He has put forward a series of humili- ating proposals that Justice — heroic, bleeding Justice — should hold out her hand to the murderers of Belgium and confer, as if there had been equal error on both sides, upon the crafty schemes of peace by which Ger- many hopes to dominate the world. Poor Old Gentleman ! Timidity, love of ease, fear of Austria, and fantastic ambition, have induced him to deny his ^Master. The cock will crow, and he will weep bitterly. Poor, pitiable Old Gentleman. HENRY DWTGHT SEDGWICK. 68 69 The Fine American Spirit WHO are these, watching froni ancestral doors The mstant passing of our youth to France? Henceforth, a chapter of the world's romance Their eyes have seen; it fills their native shores With an undying moment ; now it pours On silent breasts, o'erawed, the voice, the glance, The last, fond gleam of each l(i\'ed countenance, And the heart trembles, while the spirit soars. The generations draw immortal breath That breathe a nation's soul. From sire to son The glory of the fathers entereth The children's hearts, and maketh all as one: Bright, at time's touch, breaks out the holy flame, And to all lands doth freedom's blood proclaim. G.

For four years past they have been coming, one by one, out of the dark- ness. We can now only too well recognize them and the dangers with which thcv threaten us. Tn front, there is arrogant, boastful, jealous and unscrupulous Hate, with its policy of "might before right," and its doc- trine of "frightfulness,'' conscienceless and cruel, in its murder of the innocent, its arson, its robbery, its slavery of the weak, and its outrages of womanhood. Crouching, while it tramples on our flag, is Treachery, ready to use pistol and dagger, to burn bridges, to place bombs, to blow up ships, to hide and sneak and cringe, if only it can deliver its blow more surely and safely. And back of both, is hypocritical and lying Diplomacy, with its protestations of innocence and friendliness, — studiedly polite in manner, but really black at heart. Behind, all engaged in tying the nation's hands, lest it might strike promptly and forcefully, is Pacifism, cowardly and self-seeking, more anx- ious to avoid temporary suffering than to preserve the honor and safety of the nation ; and Divided Allegiance, traitorous to both causes which it vainlv endeavors to harmonize; and Intrigue, working in secrecy to part friends, and stir up strife between those whose interests are com- mon, or even identical. But out of the darkness comes also the call to the nation: "America! awake. Open your blinded eyes. Banish partisanship. Abjure polit- ical jealousies. Leave it to the men who know. Make your hearts stout. Grasp the sword firmly. Listen to no compromises, until the nation is proved worthy of its liirthright, civilization is rescued, and the world made safe for Democracy." GEORGE TRUMBULL LADD. 76 77 Peter the Hermit "Dieu le Veult!'' THE Prussian outdoes the world in his single-minded devotion to physical things. He believes and frankly declares that mercy and honor weaken human power, that if you consider them you must eventually fall before the strong who disregard them. Germany's at- tempt to prove the soundness of the Prussian thesis has gradually loos- ened the moral consciousness of the world. It has gathered to defend the things of the spirit in what is as truly a crusade as that which Peter the Hermit led, a crusade to preserve the sanctity of contract, the few laws between nations that men have worked out, the right of the weak to their chance. Germany, disbelieving in the strength that love of mercy and of honor give men, cannot counter-attack in kind. Every day devel- ops more clearly that the weak place in the Prussian armor is its indiffer- ence to moral considerations. IDA M. TARBELL. 78 79 The Germ-Man THE stout gentleman on the opposite page wears a pleased look, as if he were enjoying his occupation. That is natural, for ho is a scientist engaged in a very pretty process — the propagation of lockjaw, typhus and other malignant germ cultures with which he ex- pects to speed up the annihilation of his enemies. How does he pro- pose to accomplish this? I will tell you: he is going to introduce those young and vigorous colonies of germs into those little packages marked with a cross which you see lying on the table before him. Those are Red Cross bandages, and they will presently be binding the wounds of our soldiers, and the lockjaw and typhus hordes in them will awake, and rally in a silent loathsome attack that will lay torture and death upon thou- sands which the noisy, mis-aimed guns have failed to destroy. The germ-man is assured that his atomic missiles will not be mis-aimed. His government has efficiently arranged for those packages to go to the hos- pitals of Roumania and Belgium and France. That is why he smiles — that is why he has that roguish look. In the germ-man's smile is incarnated "Deutschland liber Alles" and its correkitive, "The end justifies the means." W'e in America have pro- duced exponents — criminal exponents — of a similar psychology, and we have generally (when we could catch them) hung or electrocuted or im- prisoned for life these moral perverts, in order to make the world a safer and cleaner place to live in. Only a little while ago the State of New York electrocuted a man who, having set up his individual "Ueber Alles and General Justification" court, had proceeded cheerfully to introduce malignant germs and other deadly things into the foods and medicines of his wife's parents, who stood between himself and fortune. Here we have an exact parallel. Those defenceless old people were doing him no wrong. They in fact admired and trusted him, just as Rumania and Belgium and America only a little while ago admired and trusted Germany. They stood in his way, however, and from the "Ueber Alles" standpoint any means for their removal was warranted. Secret assassination is an ancient art. It has been practised in every age and in every nation and its votaries ha\-e been hunted down and ex- terminated by decent people. To-day, for the first time in the history of the world, we have the spectacle of stealthy death for the defenceless adopted as a government policy. For the decency and safety of man- kind the allied nations have highly resolved that the government which promotes such a policy must "perish from the earth."

For a time, the heroic resistance of Gen- eral Townsend to the Turkish forces which surrounded him aided by the natural obstacles of river and climate, claimed a share of our interest, and later, the splendid and successful work achieved by the new British army under General A'laude, awakened renewed interest in a campaign designed to split Islam into two parts: one, acknowledging the domina- tion of the Turk and his German masters; the other, a new Caliphat of Bagdad, Arabian, rather than Turkish, looking to the ideals of justice and freedom, rather than to the rule of the sword ; finding its inspiraton in the tradition of the enlightened and humane Haroun-al-Raschid, rather than the warring, bloody conquerors and Muhammed and Sulinian. Still later, the northward progress of British arms extended over the greater part of I^alestine, and the capture of Jerusalem brought the sacred places of Israel and of Christianity within the control of Christendom after five centuries of Turkish occupation. These campaigns are only second in importance to the progress of the German invasion of France; for if the British successes in Arabia and Palestine shall be maintained, and the Islamites of Egypt, Arabia and Mesopotamia shall lo'*rv>nff;^r^ 89 At the Holland Frontier WHETHER THE WAR BE LONG OR SHORT, THE QUICKEST ROAD TO PEACE IS THE ROAD STRAIGHT AHEAD OF US, WITH NO DIVISION AMONG THE AMER- ICAN PEOPLE.

"Thou shalt not bear false witness." She has broken her treaties and lied openly, frequently, brazenly. "Thou shalt not commit adultery." She has per- mitted, if she has not given official sanction to rape committed upon a scale never before known in the history of the civilized world. "Thou shalt not steal." She robbed her neighbor's hills of their coal and iron, her neighbor's fields of their standing crops, her neighbor's banks of their money, her neighbor's houses of their pictures, statuary and books, and what she could not carry away she has in mere wantonness destroyed. "Thou shalt not kill." She has murdered thousands of defenceless men, women, children, and little babes, and has done this not in a sudden and feverish rage, but as part of a deliberately conceived and carefully exe- cuted policy. One must multiply Raemaekers' picture by the thousand in order to get its full significance. LYMAN ABBOTT. 116 117 A Scene on the Somme ' T NFINITELY interesting is our contact with the American troops. I They have occui)ied the sector immediately beside ours. We have seen them at work, and could form an idea, and it should be told and retold that they are marvelous. The Americans are soldiers l)y na- ture, and their officers have the desire to learn with an enthusiasm and an idealistic ardor very remarkable. There is the same spirit among the privates. They ask (|uestions with a touching good-will, setting aside all conceit or prejudice. Naturally they have the faults of all new troops. They show themselves too much and expose themselves imprudently, let- ting themselves lie carried away by their ardor, not knowing when to spare themselves or to seek shelter or when to risk everything for an end. This experience will be (juickly learned. "As for bravery, activity, and discipline, they are marvelous. They alisolutely astonished us on a morning of attack. The cannonading, sud- denly becoming furious, had just thrown me out of my bunk. No doubt about it, it was a Verdun attack. Taking time to seize my revolver, put on my helmet, and gather up several documents, I descended to the streets. When I arri\ed there they were already filing by with rapid, easy, de- cided steps, marching in perfect order in silence with admirable resolu- tion, and above all with striking discipline, to their fighting positions. It was fine. You can have no idea how cheering it was to my Poilus." — From a letter of a Freiieh officer published in the Paris "Temps." 118 E BMMt»iM»iia.w^ui«"- i KMitmmu m MiMmf < m 119 Hollweg as Robespierre The Kaiser: "//»w n^w»fr i HB wi 129 / Must Break in Here Before That Comes Down " THE small speck that at first seemed a dull mist hanging over the Western Hemisphere caused little else than sarcastic flings at our own Republic, and had it licen possible to awaken pity in the breast of the Arch Demon, striving to spread his wings over the whole world, some sympathy might have fallen to us, for the weak mind we showed in presuming we could do anything to check the Imperial army in its brutal course.

It is no autumn cloud, whose fleecy skirts the sun has painted with gold; but something equalling the harbinger of death, that the soothsayers saw driving over Rome when Caesar's end was nigh; on which could be seen ''Fierce fiery warriors in ranks, and scjuad- rons and in right form of war"; and from which blood is drizzling, not only to fall over France, or Flanders, but perhaps to darken the sky, and crimson the soil, even at that nest of iniquity, Potsdam.

CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL. 132 133 Germany's" Peace" with Russia COUNT HERTLING asks resentfully: '"Who dares to suggest that I am not on the side of justice?" Count llcrtling is un- doubtedly sincere. Until this war began the world had almost forgotten the record for duplicity and inhumanity of the military tyrants of Prussia, — the treachery and ])ar])arity of the race of which he and they are the orfsi)ring. They are running true to type, ])ut for the time we had forgotten what the type was; yet it was known well enough to Julius Cjesar and to the others who ruled the Roman world. I'or him the Germans were "that treacherous race which is bred up from the cra- dle to war and rapine," who "i)ractise the base deception which first asks for peace and then openly begins war," who are "outside the pale of ne- gotiations"- — yet Caesar had nnt heard of the treaty of Brest-Litovsk! History is repeating itself after two thousand years, yet two thousand years ago it was then only repeating itself. The Prussian has always been the same. His instincts are today as they were when he roamed the swamp lands, naked and with a stone club in his fist, pig-eyed and bull-necked, like the mastodon of his native forests. Raemaekers has done well to symbolize him in his treatment of helpless Russia, as a hairy prehistoric beast crushing out the life of a bleeding natirm beneath his ponderous feet. Count Hertling says he is on the side of justice. He is — of German justice, the justice of which the Initchered civilians and outraged girls of Belgitmi, the crucified Canadians, the murdered Edith Cavell, and the martyred babies and their mothers of the Liisifaiiia, are examples. It is the justice of the mammoth and the cave-man, the sabre- toothed tiger and the woollv rhinoceros, — all of whom would agree that Count Hertling in his dealings with Russia was actuated 1)_\' the only rec- ognized Prussian ideal — the right of the strongest brute to ra\ish and de- stroy.

The soul of Germany is not entirely killed by her mortal sins of money and land-lust ; and Raemaekers here paints the remorseful soul, crowned with the blurred cross. Germany turns her back to the sky; she prefers to look at the dark ground of her dunt^eon rather than to face that light. She is chained by her own will, and yet her inmr)St soul revolts. Ect us not imagine that there are two Germanys. Before the war the Social Democrat was the official hater of the despotism of the Hohen- zollerns. The war came, he ceased to be a Social Democrat when he be- came a Prussian. Before the war, the Centrum defended the rights of conscience against the Hegelian dogma of the absolute supremacy of the State. The Kaiser rushed from Norway, war was declared, and the re- calcitrant Centrum, — the creature of the indomitable Windhorst, whom even Bismarck could not terrify, — becomes subservient! The Emperor does not say, "The State is L" He says. — '"Germany over all, and the German God must rule." Germany has chained herself. For more than ten years, I have lived geographically in Germany, — for Denmark, though one of the freest na- tions of the world, is a few miles from Berlin, — and I have seen the Old Germany growing into the New% materialized Germany. Bismarck helped this process with blood and iron. The New Germany has a soul, but she has chained it to avarice and pride and power. MAURICE FRANCIS EGAN, American Minister to Denmark. il/av28, 1918. 138 139 " Hurrah for Peace, Lads ! " Ex^RLY in ihc war the great writers and i)oets of the Alhed nations joined in combating, witli all the inspiration of the cause of lib- erty, the campaigns launched in varied guise by seditionists here and abroad. In this effort literature has made a worthy contribution to the battle for civilization. It remained, however, for the art and genius of Raemaekers to rout the propagandists of the enemy b}- delineating the great basic truths of war as waged by the Huns. It has been his w^ork, more than that of any other person, to delineate the righteousness of the Allied cause. His portraiture is a protest, an indictment, and an insi)iration. He de- stroys the foe's misrepresentation and exposes his mendacity while con- structively informing the mind and awakening the imagination. He en- ables us to grasp all the details of sorrow, of devotion, together with all the splendor of modern battle behind his story. He horrifies us with the l)rutality of imcivilized warfare, and at the same time arouses within us the determination to right the wrongs of an outraged world. His very shock is a stimulus, for in telling us of the horror of war, Raemaekers makes us understand that to stop it forever by victory is the only thing worthv of thinking and feeling human beings. By speaking the universal language which art alone possesses, he has made the war clear to those who cannot read. Because of this genius for arousing our emotions, he is the premier recruiting agent of the armies of civilization for and be- hind the battle-line. He is truly a mainspring of our armed forces. S.

ROBERT W\ CHAMBERS. Neiv York, April 30, 1018. 142 143 (6 We Must so Destroy France That She can Never Again Resist Us y^ HEINE, when he warned the world that the real God of Germany was Thor and that when the Christian veneer wore off the old pagan god would with his hammer break in pieces the Gothic Ca- thedrals, especially warned France, whom above all the Beast hated. The warning has been justified by history. Before the war I have heard Ger- mans speak gloatingly of what they did to France in 1870, and of what they meant to do next time. The phrase " bleed France white" had be- come a commonplace of German speech. This hatred is rather mysterious. England fought France many times during five hundred years, but whenever peace was declared Paris would be full of Englishmen to celebrate, to shake hands and be friends. There never was this ferocious hate, and France has always been generous and chivalrous and human. Germany hates Great Britain and America with her head, but she hates France with her soul. It must be that the modern Ilun feels that there is something in his hated enemy which he does not possess and never can possess. And be- cause the rest of the world loves France, he hates her all the more, with a cold and cruel and scientific hatred, as our artist depicts it in his terrible cartoon. Perhaps some light is thrown on the problem by a typical piece of Gallic wit. A French writer commenting on the wanton destruction of the Ca- thedral of Rheims declared it to be the greatest single calamity to art that was conceivable, and then added that there could be another greater calamity — to allow the Germans to restore it ! It adds fuel to the flame to know that the only great period of German literature — the period of Heine himself — was when it was under the complete influence and inspi- ration of France. In a true sense the whole civilized world is fighting for France, to de- cide whether it is to lose all that France stands for, or whether the fu- ture is to be dominated by the ugly bestial force, without conscience and without heart, which Germany represents. The world knows that if it is a case of alternatives, civilization can do without Germany, but would be eternally poor without la belle France.

Her part, instead of attempt- ing the impossible, will be to stand on safe and reasonable ground. Through her control of the Southern Manchuria Railroad she is in a posi- tion to cut off communication between Harbin and Vladivostok now af- forded by the trans-Siberian line. Harbin is the military, economic, and political base of Russia in the Far East. That means that the Russian possessions in East Siberia would be protected by Japan from German domination or aggression.

CAN a l\fi)ul)lic ri,<;ln a successful war? Can a i)cople with a cen- tury and a quarter of free thought, free speech and free press change suddenly from words to deeds? Can custom and tradi- tion yield gracefully to necessity? Is the heart and brain of the Republic so ini])ressed with the magnitude and importance of this war as to induce it to forget the things which are past and to press forward to the things which are needful? The Imperial German Staff thought not. It imagined that a i)eople, whose daily sport was carping criticism of their ]niblic officials, whose army was hardly as large as a policeman's squad, whose sentiments were all for peace and arbitration, whose ordnance was archaic and whose only o-as-bombs were perfervid oratory could never right-about-face and set themselves to engage in the horrific warfare desolating the fields of Eu- rope. The mistake in this German opinion sprang from a misconception of what liberty really means and of the things for which freedom really stands. Its assumption was that there could be no courage with kindli- ness nor strength with flexibility. To the slow-going mind of the method- ical German his mistaken view is beginning to appear. His first jolt came when the traditions of a century and a quarter with reference to mili- tary service were, without riot, tumult or disorder, set aside and 10,000,000 young men of America, without murmur, submitted themselves to con- scriiniiin. He was further prodded when he learned that, as each suc- cessive libertv loan was presented to the people of America it was promptly taken, and what is more important, taken by larger and larger numbers of citizens. No wonder Uncle Sam and the world think it no bad start that we have made. Like all reforms, it has been accompanied by lapses, by weaknesses, by mistakes of judgment. l)Ut through it all there has run the golden thread of a cohesive, coherent and indomitable American public opinion that this countrv, having set itself to the task of assisting the Allies in forever free- ing the world from the menace of German military power, will never turn back in the breaking of a single furrow until the blood-guiltiness of the German race shall be put underneath the sod and the world shall be planted with the asphodels of a permanent peace. Uncle Sam still smiles confidently, knowing full well that every day is rectifying mistakes and that every day is adding to the bull-dog tenacity of a people, who are willing to defend to the uttermost the principles for which they stand against invasion from wathout and sedition from within.

While in France in May and June, I saw many squads oi German prisoners working at the railroad stations, on the roads and in the factories. Of the several thousands 1 saw, not one looked underfed, ill clothed or abused. While their ])arracks did not ha\c steam heat, electricity and all the com- forts of home, the l)oard and Iodising- they received compared favorably with that of the average French sf)ldiers, and the franc a day thrown in as wages could all go for extras if desired. I was told that they all pre- ferred to be prisoners in France rather than to return to the "freedom" of Germany while the war lasts. Once I obtained ])ermission to question a gang of Prussians working in P'rance on an American road under a British guard. This is what thev said to me: "We believe America intends to conquer France. Cer- tainly you will never leave this country after having spent so much money on docks and wharves and warehouses and railroads." Evidentlv the common German mind cannot conceive of a people going to another's territory and spending money there unless with some sinis- ter, ulterior, selfish, political motive behind it. As Irving Col)b says, we must extract the mania from Germania. HAMILTON HOLT. 190 191 Socialism in Germany IT is one (i£ tlic tr;ii;cclic,s of history thai th<* great Social Democracy of Germany, in which lil)cral thinkers oi ail lands reposed so much faith, proved, when the testing time came, to he utterly devoid of in- tellectual and moral integrity, a hase hetrayer of interna al Socialist ideals and a sujjservient tool of Prussian autocracy. The great majority of the German Socialists, led hy such men as Scheidemann, Sudekum, David and l.egien, u])hcld the Imperial (ierman Government and thus hccame the accomplices of the assassins of Potsdam. These so-called "Socialists" even stooped so low as to attempt to brihe the Socialists of other countries in the interests of the Kaiser and his cowardly crew. In Italy and in Russia in particular, and in other coun- tries less effectively, they used their Socialist connections to assist the military schemes of Germany, notwithstanding the fact that these were designed to destroy every essential Socialist principle. Ilerr r)a\i(l, perhaps the ablest of the leaders of the INIajority Social- ists, declared in the Reichstag that "The German armies must continue to fight vigorously ivliilst flic German Socialists encourage and stimulate pa- citlsm ainoug Germany's enemies." The whole policy of the Majority So- cialists has been based upon that sinister principle. The small and uninfluential I)ut heroic minority, led by Karl Lieb- knecht, Rosa Luxemburg and George Ledebour alone have exemplified the ideals of Socialism. They deserve our lasting honor as fully as the others deserve our lasting contemi)t. Socialism is not dead in Germany: only the great political party of Socialism is shattered. In the hearts of the brave men and women of the Minority Socialists the sacred flame still Innms. In that lies the only hope for German Socialism. History will record this bitter judgment of the German Social De- mocracy: It was an active partner in the crimes of the Hohenzollern dynasty against civilization ; it infamously betrayed the Russian Revolu- tion and prostituted itself to the most malefic despotism of a thousand years. JOHN SPARGO. 192 193 The Spirit of German Science THE moral revulsion of the world against the Germans is justified by their use of science. It is not a question of the excellence, amount, or character of science — all subjects of legitimate debate — but of the use the Ger- mans make of science. While science has been used in war at all times and has been a formidable arm in the hands of those who ha\'e known how to use it, still the limits of its use have been fixed with more or less rigor. Even before the conventions of The Hague were formulated, there was the general recognition of the natural distinction between civilized and barbarous warfare. The savage's poisoned arrow has been the symbol of what, though scientific, was barbarous, llie murder of the wounded soldier or of the disarmed prisoner has always been condemned as the crime of the apache, not the method of the gentleman. Pity for the inno- cent — women, children, even the animals — and merciful treatment of the helpless — the drowning, the famished — seem to mark man, even in the pro- fession of intentional killing of his fellow-man, as moved by a certain senti- ment, a certain sense of human superiority to the brute which takes blood simply from the love of it. Even against the legitimate foe there are certain means of offense so base — the use of poison in wells, the diffusion of microbes of disease — or so treacherous — the dynamite-loaded cigar — that the chivalrous man redresses himself at the thought of them with a shudder of mingled moral contempt and physical nausea. This has been the use made of science by the Germans. They have abolished the distinction between the knight and the brute, between the man and the snake, between pure science and foul practice. This damns the German race. Our grandchildren will say to their granchildren: "You murdered people in open boats, you bombarded audiences kneeling in churches, you torpedoed hospital ships in plain ocean, you sent young girls into immoral slavery, you tortured prisoners, you poisoned the wells used by civilian populations, you did a hundred treacherous things that our fathers and mothers shuddered to recall. Yo\i Germans did it." To future generations this will damn the German race. Xo theory of the super-man, of the chosen state, of the alliance with God will ever gloss it over. Their science may have honored the Germans, but the Germans have dishonored science. German science has always had the credit of making happy application and practical use of abstract laws and formulas, chemical, physical, bio- logical. In applying science in war, however, it has disallowed the moral laws which underlie all sound science and healthy life. Here German "applied science" will remain, let us hope, for all time unrivalled. J. ^lARK BALDWIN. 194 195 Humanity and Her German Lovers IT is not possible to judge Louis Raemaekers as an artist. He is a voice, a sword, a flame. His cartoons are the tears of women, the battle-shout of indomitable defenders, the indignation of humanity, the sob of civilization. They will go down into history. They are his- tory. To take them, to turn page after page, is to knozv the European War, to see it face to face, as a child sees, and not through a glass darkly. It is one of the great works of the world which he has done. Perhaps genius was only dormant, waiting for the cry of general catastrophe to bring it forth into vivid, terrific life. And yet — for who shall say that all things in heaven and earth are understood? — it may be that those same voices that called through the orchard of Domremy called to the car- toonist in the office of the Amsterdam "Telegraaf," that into his simple soul, recommended to God by its love of flowers, there fell a tear from on high.

The long, tedious, humdrum years of life never get into picture, never lire human imagination; even though those years are the necessary foundations upon which great events rise. So America for nearly a century and a half has been symbolized — at least in European eyes — by that great moment when she rose in the world and asserted her independent status "among the nations of the earth." The men of '76 have stood for American valor, American military skill, American states- manship. Now has come a time when "a decent respect for the nations of mankind requires" that Americans shall again stand for their portrait in history. This time we are standing among the civilized nations not for independence, but for interdependence! Where once we stood for a na- tion consecrated to freedom, now we stand for a community of nations consecrated to justice. Perhaps when the new portraits are painted in this great hour of crisis all the nations of the world will appear in history with new faces. The soldier of the revolution of '76; the red-capped lib- erty girl of France, the conventional John Bull, the German war lord — all will "suffer a sea-change into something rich and strange." And the old portraits that glimpsed the old truth about the old world shall in the new world have but an archaic interest !
