WHAT GERMAN
CHILDREN THINK
Among the many investigations of
the influence of the war on the chil
dren of Germany is one of special
interest reported by Max Doring.
Leipzig, in Archlv fur Dedagogie, of
which he is one of the editors, says
a writer in the New York Evening
Post. The report refers to the an
swers of 110 hoys and girls between
the ages of 8 and 12, in a certain
school.
The teacners asked the children to
write a theme expressing their
“Thoughts, Wishes and Hopes.” In
order that the children should not
he influenced, care was taken that no
reference should he made to the war.
They were given perfect liberty in
choosing their answers to the three
questions. This was done in order to
avoid questions from the children as
to what they should write and how.
A strict and careful supervision made
it impossible for the children to copy
and converse with one another while
they wrote.
Of the 110 children only three did
not refer to the war. All the others
expressed their thoughts about the
war. Of these, 92 children expressed
their desire for peace, 85 children
were worried about members of their
families on the battlefields, 38 thot
about the high cost of living, especial
ly about the scarcity of potatoes, but
ter and fat.Hopes of victory were ex
pressed by only 28, happiness over
the victories of the German army by
only nine.
In spite of all the literature of hat
red imported into the public schools
only seven children expressed any
kind of hatred towards the enemy.
The name of that man who is spoken
of most in the schools, the kaiser,
was mentioned only once. In spite of
the humbug about "his majesty," this
shows how much the children think
about it!
This little inquiry reveals plainly
how tired they all are in Germany of
this war, and that these thoughts are
so often expressed that they preoc
cupy every mind. And when we re
member that these little children ex
pressed these thoughts over a year
ago—Tor the report is published in
Archiv fur Pedagogie of March, 191(1
— we can imagine how everyone feels
today.
Eire Incendiarism
BAKER, Ore., Aug. 27.— Humors
that the fire that destroyed the little
town of Sumpter, Ore., yesterday was
of incendiary origin are being inves
tigated. District Attorney W. S. Eev
ens announced today. Early reports
that two men met death in the flames
were found groundless today. The
loss is estimated at $250,000.
I
Poland is in Dissension
COPENHAGEN, Aug. 27.—A dis
patch received here from Warsaw
Isays that Prince Vaclaw Von Niem
oyski, president of the Polish coun
cil of state, has resigned owing to dif
ferences with the pro-German par
ties. The dispatch adds that he has
been requested to withdraw his res
ignation.
No Account of Odds
Two Irishmen, who were fighting
in France, were offered one pound
sterling lw their captain for every
German they killed. The two were
acting as guard on an outpost one
day just before the Germans made
one of their famous charges, and
Mike looking up, saw the horde com
ing on double quick. He jumped up
and yelled, “Here comes the bloody
beggars, Pat.”
Pat, who was warming bis feet at
a carbon trench stove appeared but
mildly interested. Mike again ex
claimed, “Pat, they’re coming.”
“How many?” says Pat.
“Begobs, I dunno, but it looks like
a million, says Mike.
“Whoorroo,” says Pat, jumping up
and grabbing his gun, “Our forchune
is made.”

BAR, RILING AT SEATTLE
SEATTLE, Aug. 27.— By unar.i-j
mous vote the exemption board of di
vision No. 8, of Seattle, last night i
certified Into the military service of
the United States, subject to action
by the appeal board, Gerald Thomas
Canton, a teacher of political econo
my in the Seattle high school, who1;
had asked exemption on the ground
that he had conscientious scruples
against joining the army. Canton also
tried to escape the draft, it is said,
on the ground that he had weak eyes.
The examining physician, however 1
held that his eyesight was not bade
enough to bar him from the army. :
Canton then charged, it is said, that
(lie board was trying to railroad him j
into the army.
Later last night John J. Sullivan,
chairman of the exemption board, j
wrote to the chairman of the school
board asking that an investigation lie'
I made of statements alleged to have;'
I been made by Canton, in which he is j
jsaid to have declared he would not J
fight and other statements said to be j
derogatory to the government.
