A LESSON FROM GERMANY
The basis of German strength is to be found in the
fact that the whole energy of the German people is con
centrated on the war. It is the German theory developed
vo the German dictum that ah enterprises and ambitions
save those which will help win the war must be put out of
mind; that all business not necessary to that one end must
be abandoned. It was Ludendorff who put that doctrine
into practice in Germany, and it now remains the rule of
conduct for the German people.
Thoie cam-' a time, but a little more than a year ago,
when tin- .-upeiioriiy of the allied guns on the western
front b-'j'an to he manifest. Plans were laid to meet the
emergency and in February of this year they began to be
put in (!'ict. New monition factories were opened and
th. )ldo:'.i's wv.esp; Pea up to the full two ny f<«ar f ours
a day. To : the • an power for the op**ation of 'his
increased munP'ens industry was the problem. No men
could in- spa*-* *1 from the army, and comparatively few
able-bodied mi n wei«* not in the army. It was the Luden
dorff decision that thousands wee wasting their time in
useless industries, and that other thousands were occu
pied ir. no industry ; r all. From this decision there was
established the XL i’dienstpflicht which means civil ser
vice duty, and ••equues that every German, old or young,
rich or poor, shall he conscripted for service to the state.
Concerning the German food supply and distribution
two dictators wrestled unsuccessfully with that problem;
and according to all accounts it was a vexatious and mad
dening one. Berlin ate potato flour while good rye was
fed to the hogs in the rural districts. Geese commanded
50 cents a pound in the German capital while country
barnvards swarmed with them. Berlin went without but
ter while, according to report, country teamsters, farmers
and others, greased their wagons with it. Avarice was at
work on every hand and the motive was to produce that
which was profitable rather than that which was most
needed for the prosecution of the war.
All that has been changed in Germany. In the new
order it has become the settled and universal conviction
that every citizen must sacrifice his private interests to
the common cause. I nder that conviction production
goes forward, not according to choice, but according to
order. Distribution follows a similar course. Specifica
tion has been abolished or reduced to negligible minimum.
All the energy of the German people is concentrated on
the conduct of the war.
It is the united will and effort of an entire people
that gives power to a bad cause. What cannot the united
will and effort of a greater people do toward insuring the
triumph of a good cause?
CARRANZA AND HOHENZOLLERN
If President. Carranza of Mexico had the true Cas
tilian pride which he often affects, he would not have sent
Emperor William on his birthday a cablegram of fawning
congratulations. Nothing in the attitude of the monarch
in Berlin toward the revolutionist who is desperately
maintaining himself in Mexico warranted an expression
by the latter which was much more than personal.
Germany has flattered the Mexicans and it has de
ceived them, but it has never been of service. It has tick
led their ears with hints of reprisals against the United
States which the most ignorant peon knows are lures
false and hopeless. It has solemnly proposed an alliance
between Mexico and Japan which men of sense in both

countries recognize at once as ridiculous.
Gen. Carranza’s fulsome pleasantries, therefore, re
veal him as hostile to this country and singularly weak in
l-.is subserviency to an autocrat who has shown him only
the consideration which a master or a trickster manifests
toward an inferior who is to be .bullied or deceived.— j

If it proves that the Japanese and the British, also
the Americans are now in possession of Vladivostok, a
great step was taken, at a critical time and at the right
moment. There is now at V iadivostok plenty of war
munitions, all shipped from the United States, to furnisu
a large army with “backing” against a foe for months.
The assistance of Japan also helps greatly in this matter
as it brings a powerful nation to the assistance of Japan
as it brings a powerful nation to the assistance of the
Allies.
The grounding of the Admiral Evans brings most for
cibly to inind the fact that wind and tide are always an
uneven foe against human skill. Captain G. A. Glass
cock is one of the most careful masters coming to Alaska
but superhuman agencies, when pitted against mere man,
generally win. It is to be hoped that the Evans can be
salvaged.
JULES CAMBON
Jules Cambon, formerly French am
bassador to the United States, is di
rector of the new American depart
ment in the French government, which
has been formed to assist Premier
Clemenceau in giving direct attention
to the requirements of the American
expeditionary forces and to any other
American activities.
