Prof. Kellogg was fortunate in being- personally acquainted acquainted with some of the officers in command, by-having known them as professors in civil life, and that his own name as a biologist was well known in Germany. Because of this he icould easily get to the heart of the German and its workings. * * * * : vTo the German, the allmacht of "natural -selection" applied rigorously to,humani life, society and kultur.' Not a çase df 'live and let live, or help to .the weak, but the virtue of might was their ideal, and away with Christian ethics and morality. Christ's teach- ■ ings are tabooed in German military circles. The kaiser believes himself* to be in close terms with God, but itf=-= is the God of the Old Testament, the God of war. There is never an allusion allusion to Jesus or His teachings. . . . • The German captain-professor was a- biologist, and so Mr. Kellogg and he could talk on this phase of the war.

South Carolina tried another; they have built aqueducts, that in Jackson's day, but was quick-1 trenches, roads and tunnels at alti- ly coerced; and the Soiith tried it when they rebelled and were sorely punished. If a state can nullify the constitution we are no longer a republic, republic, but an anarchy. So we propose propose to go ahead on'the basis that fundamental fundamental national law is-law for everybody within the republic, and we will enforce that law, come what may. 3. This^is true--Prohibition has never won a national victory, no great party ever having adopted it as its issue, and no successful candidate for the presidency has ever pledged himself himself to it. The great parties and their nominees nominees have been able, heretofore, to dodge, and dodge they have, collectively collectively and individually, but the question question is will they be able to do so iifc the future with safety. * * * * - The~present- state-of sentiment towards towards intoxicating drink has never before been approached 'in all the -history -history of maiL^All over the world, Mars has got John Barleycorn down and is conscientiously punching the hypocrisy, brutality and other stuffing stuffing out of .him.

Hundreds tudes more than 10,000 feet above sea level. In short, the Italian armies had to blow up the Alps before they could reach their enemy further down, and even then nature again played against them, as in front of Trieste r , for instance, with those dolomite caves fortified by the work of the elements elements better than any German trench on the western front. But now they have succeeded in pushing their way to the sea, and we may confidently expect expect great results, the first glad tidings tidings of which are already burdening the wires of communication. * * * * Sometimes in the past we heard but little of Italian operations, and almost almost nothing of any advance. We who are unacquainted with the ^situation, ^situation, were disposed to criticize their apparent inactivity. Not knowing the- natural barricades, artificially strengthened by the arts of war, we -imagined that Italy was shirking her part in the great struggle. But those who knew best fully understood, and gave Italy the greater praise when she again set the pace for Austria. They are now winning spectacular victories and making substantial gains, and this at a time their aid was very much needed to relieve the pressure pressure on the eastern front. The aim of Italy is to retake territory territory wrested from her by -"-Austria when she Was not united or powerful enough to effectually resist. This territory properly belongs to Italy, as the population is still largely Italian. It is presumed on good grounds that Italy's success had much to do with red and war. All mankind in one great family, happiness, joy and sufficiency sufficiency for : all,' and. universal, peace. Hence all the ordinary appeals to patriotism that so much move other men, came to him as unworthy, if not hateful. World patriotism was' his creed"; universal brotherhood and "peace his aim. Without any premonition, he rose on the morning of March 12 to find everything cracking and bending, ■and the hated Czar overthrown, the old order of things uprooted and banished. banished. He was dazzled and confounded confounded by the sight, and soared to thé" skies in an uncontrollable burst of enthusiasm, enthusiasm, The. thing he . never expected expected to see realized in his day had come after all. The old foundations had been swept away over night. There never was a broader, creed, there waa , struggle involved in .evo-d for ,t. embraced, the .whole .world, and ^ always ^ there wer J ameliorations even as regards the low- er animals; that the mutual aid principle, principle, altruism and gregariousness had much to do with the upward lift in life, and thus, the discussion went on. * » * * j But the German school would have .none pf this, though admitting it helped in some instances, but not in organized human groups, which like the gregarious ants, struggle, bitter and ruthless is the rule. This struggle' struggle' must not only go on, for that is natural, law, but it should go on so that the law may work out in its cruel way, the salvation of the human species, species, arid survival of the fittest. The lust not only to impose, its kind of so-/ cial organization--its kultur,. &c., on the others, but if necessary,, to destroy and replace them. Hence the Germans believe that un- dër this natural law they are destined to win, if not now, then later, and act- ing'On this belief they are all the morë dangerous. : ILa IK/jJ Ckml Best grades of Coal only kept, all kinds. also Wood, of -sge If you have not ordered your Winter supply yet, you had better do so as it is liable to advance any day.

For these reasons the Germans justify their inhuman inhuman treatment of the Belgians; it is right, say they, to maim and kill in Belgium as a military exigency because because these things frighten them, and it required less active military guard after the people had been cowed.
