GO TO GERMANY OR HELL.
Two United States senators, Works
of California and Vardanian of -Missis
sippi, opposed in senate speeches
President Wilson’s action in severing
relations with Germany. Neither of
them added to his popularity at home.
A dispatch tells us that “resent
ment such as seldom before if ever
before lias been experienced in the
history of the Golden State" swept
California when her citizens read Sen- I
ator Works' speech, in which he
charged the United States and Ameri
can citizens with being unneutral to
ward Germany, an attitude which he
said m,ade the break with Germany in
evitable.
The dispatch continues:
"To Senator Works’ adverse critic
ism of the president for the sever
ance of relations with Berlin, Califor
nians hoisted the Stars and Stripes
from San Diego to Del Norte, and
Los Angeles decorated in the national
colors in n manner fit for Independ
ence day.”
The Los \tigcles city council by
unanimous vote, denounced Senator
Works for his atttude, and charact
erized his attack upon the president
as "uncalled for and untimely and at
variance with the sp'irit of true Am
ericanism.” Tlie resolution assured
(lie president that Los Angeles and
nil California "thoroughly dissent
from the unpariotic opinions of the
senator.” further, the president was
assured by the council "of our hearty
support of his policy." The resolu
tion was adopted without comment,
but after its passage cheers rang
through tiro council chamber.
But It remained for tho Los An
geles Times io deliver the hardest
blow at Senator Works from his own
town. Commenting upon h'is speech
editorially the Times said:
’’It is to be hoped, but not expect
ed, that when the. senatorial term of
John P. Works expires, twenty days
hence, he will not return tn this city

ZEPPELIN'S FAILURE IN WAR.
Unlike Langley In this country,
I Count Zeppelin lived long enough and
had sufficient funds to cany his ex
periments in aeronautics Through to a
po.r.t where his work was something
like eonu’ete.
(»ne jeason for It is ability to com
mand pi yular support ar 1 sympathy
i in l.is experiments was that he pro
posed to do something that appeared
possible to men of ordinary mind. He
was trying to make a balloon that
could he steered. Langley was trying
to make a machlm fly by virtue of Its
own powi r and tlint looked entirely
too much like a miracle In his day to
command confidence.
Both men are now dead and the
tables are turned. Langleys' idea has
proved to be a brillant success,
though he was in his grave before
success was established. Zeppelin
lived to see his dirigibles grow to size
comparative with ocean lines in wa.r
He saw them adopted by his country
and tried in war. He saw the Ger
man people looking to his invention
to serve as a winning factor in the
j ti.glit against England, and he saw
' that hope disappointed.
While the Zeppelins have worried !
| England and have cost the British ^
government heavily in the mainten- |
I ance of defense against them, they -
, have also been costly to the Germans
I and have not proved sufficiently val
uable to warrant their continued use
in raids.—Ex.
The action of the Rocky Mountain
Club In devoting its energies to the
relief of the suffering children of Bel
gium rang true to the western spirit,
as all of us who have lived In the
! mountains and the plains have come
! to know that spirit. I have gladly
| joined in the movement to do what
1 tan for a gallant ifttio nation which
has been cruelly trampled dunder foot,
for no fault of its own, and now Ties
I prostrate, threatened with the loss of
Us physical being. It is the literal
truth that rarely since the days of
Herod has child-life been so menaced
as today in Belgium.
I shall not deal with the material •
side of this question, or tell how
l.-jP.llUO ehildren are compelled to go
hungry and ar< threatened with dis
ease and slow starvation. All this
is being told in the west in speeches, i
r-—-.
— ~ - ---- - g-- — ~ ■
In letters. In literature, In cartoons
ami in personal pleas. Suffice It to
say that Belgium today stands in
mortal danger of losing both its bodily
life and its soul.
But what of us? What of our soul
if like the Levite and the Priest we
pass on to our business with averted
eyes? The nation that turns a deaf
car to the sufferings of ten million
people, including a million and n
quarter children, is committing moral
suicide. Disease born of want and
hunger are spreading with dreadful
rapidity among these 1,250,000 chil
dren of Belgium. Shall wo look idly
on while these children die? Other
nations do not sit idle. War-torn
England and France have given large
ly. Brave little Holland has cared
within her own borders for hundreds
of thousands of refugees. The rest
of the world has spent $250,000,000 for
Belgium. We have contributed only
nine millions. Is this enough to make
us think that we have done our duty?
We say with unctuous self-satisfac
tion that we have been "kept out of
war." We chuckle because In 1916 we
sold five billions worth of products
to Europe. Are our souls rotted? Can
we see only the dollar sign in the sky?
What of our souls if we continue deaf
to the crying need of a gallant na
tion. threatened with extinction
through the loss of Its first horn? Can
any man of high and generous nature. (
having been told the facts, continue to
tie indifferent?
The west has done much, but it has
not done enough. I appeal to the men
of the west to follow the Rocky Moun
tain Club. I appeal to the women of
the west to take the thought of wreck
ed and tormented Belgium to their
hearts.
I should Ilk.- io see every school
house in the west a collection agency
for the Rocky Mountain Club-Hoover
fund.
I should like to see every Sunday
school interested.
I should like to know that every
pulpit in the west was ringing with
the story.
1 should Me to see in every city
ind village a central agency collect
ng and f i warding relief to Mr. Wil
iam P. fhontpson, the treasurer of
lie fund No. 65 West Forty-fourth
street.
I sho :if • ikc to see on every cattle i
ange a Rocky Mountain Club fund.
I sh mli. lik< to know' that every
mining superintendent had addressed
iis men telling them the story and
iskiug them to contribute each pay
lay a regular sum, following the cx
unple of the miners in South Africa,
v ho are giv ing ten per cent, of their I
rages.
I should like to see every newspaper
•pen its columns to the cause.
I should like to see every social
gathering wind up with a Belgian col
lection ,
j I should like to see the west on fire
■ over Belgium's wrongs and Belgium's
needs.
I cannot say more. I should be
ashamed to say less.
