DYNAMITE IN COAL
MEMPHIS, Jan. 18. — Dynamite in
coal shoveled into the fire box of a
locomotive on a freight train explod
ed here this afternoon and the fire
man and engineers are dying as a re
sult. It is believed tnat the dynamite
was placed in the coal by German
spies.
10ND0N, Jan. 18. — “The funda
mental evil oi Germany today is idol
atry,M said Lord Robert Cecil in a
statement lor the Associated Prest
today. “They have set up for them
selves a graven image, just as truly
j as did the worshippers of Baal against
I whom the prophets of the Bible
preached.
“Germany's idol is the state. They
place the state above religion, above
morality, above all laws of God or
Man. They believe that any act is
justified which advances the interests
of the German State, however base
that act may be, however, immoral,
however inconsiderate of the lawful
rights of others.
“Otto Kahn, himself a German by
origin, has defined this State-idolatry
as ‘the demoniacal obsession of pow
er-worship and world-dominion.’
“This idolatry is at the bottom of
our whole light against Germany. *lt
is the secret of the whole revolting
list of outrages and atrocities which
Germany has committed against the
civilized world. The violation of Bel
gium, the Armenian atrocities, the
unspeakable horrors of submarine
warfare,—all these are the outcome
of a creed which holds that no laws
of morality arc binding when the de
fense of the state-idol is at stake.
“The results of this violating of the
i foundations of morality by Germany
1 are bound to be colossal and far
reaching. They mean the degeneracy
I of the whole German structure, and
! the effects are already seen in the
| wave of crime and immorality which
i is sweeping over Germany. So long
i as the governing classes are infected
. with this doctrine there is no limit to
j the wickedness and cruelty which will
be put into execution. It means the
undermining ultimately of the whole
' fabric of their civilization. This is
what President Wilson has foreseen.
This is a reason for the determination
of President Wilson and the leaders
of the Allies on both sides of the wa
ter to carry this war through, what
ever the cost, in order that the world
may he a fit world to live in.
“The Lansdowne letter has been
thought by some to indicate some
weakening of determination on tht
part of this country, some change ot
attitude, I believe any such imp res- j
sion is a profound delusion. I know j
it is a delusion as far as the actual1
government of England is concerned, j
and 1 believe that the British people'
as a whole, including Lord Lansdowne
himself, are more determined than
ever to bring the war to a victorious!
conclusion.
“I see that it is being alleged with
a certain degress of plausibility that
there are many points in which Lord
Lansdowne is in agreement with*
President Wilson’s message. That*
may be so. But in the case of the
President's message there breathes
through every line not only determin
ation to win—for in that there is no
difference between the two men—but
also a certainty of victory. Presi-!
dent Wilson’s message has an inspir
ation of leadership which LansdowncV
letter lacks.”
ALASKANS ARE I
DESERVING OF
CHEAP FARES
SEATTLE, Jan. 18. — Hardy pion- j
cers who go to Alaska to develop its;
iands should be given special induce-1
ments by the government, asserts!
Professor C. C. G»*orgcson, who is in
charge of the government’s agricul-1
tural experiment stations in the north
ern territory. “They should by all
means have reduced rates of trans
portation.” he said while here recent
ly, because it costs as much to take
the necessary farm inland in Alaska
as it does to purchase a small sized j
faim in the states outside.”
