Telephone 98, Contract RIAL S_ One of the most anit tee invoked even by lovers of things in the German White Book | from the Kaiser. is of in an appeal Russia to the these words “IT am glad that you are back in Germany. In this serious mo ment T ask you urgently to help me. A disgraceful war has been declared on a weak nation; the indignation at this, which T fully share, immense in Russia. I foresee that soon I can no longer withstand fhe pressure that is being brought to bear upon me, and that I shall be forced to adopt measures which will lead to war. In order to prevent such a calam- ity as a European war, I ask you, in the name of our old friend- ship, to do all that is possible for you to prevent your ally from go- ing too far.” * * Germany took no measures whatever to keep Austria from going to war. It egged Austria on. It would not advise the ref erence of the dispute either to The Hague Tribunal or to a con- ference of European powers. Any- one who reads the Czar’s appea! to his cousin must see that he was sincere in his distress and in his desire for peace. He and the old Emperor of Austria could easily have come to an amicable settlement. Italy approved of a peaceful settlement. The Kaiser and his evil counsellors were de. termined that there should not be peace. Their conspiracy against humanity and civilization is ab solutely proved by the official documents—not only those pub- lished by Great Britain, but those published by Germany. e- 6s One irreparable injury done to Germany is leadership in thought.

But the world will endure long after this war is over; and thought will endure the physical world should perish, Germany the Mecca of scholars and thinkers. Great men of all nations drank to the depths of that fountain. «Fond parents sent their children to Germany to “finish their educa- tion.” Young men who had been schooled in Great Britain, in Cav. ada, in the United States, looked to Germany as the repository of the last word in scholarship. a -3- 28 All thaf is lost. Students from other lands may still go to Ger many to learn how to decipher an ancient inscription, or hew to make a new gas. But that is all. Men may seek knowledge in Ger- man, but not wisdom. Not for many years, not until Germany has sat for half a century in sackcloth and ashes, will anyone go to that misguided land for in- spiration, for ideals, for those “thoughts that wander through eternity.” Intellectual Germany has betrayed its trust, and must pay the penalty ofyits treason. The German philosopher’ has blacked the boots of the Prussian drill-sergeant, and must pay the penalty of his subservience. *_ * * The “destruction of Louvain was no mere accident, no drunken freak, although it may have been done by drunkards. It was the logical result of a long process of degredation of all the higher faculties of the German mind and soul, The University of Louvain suffered only physical ruin.

Most men, of course, set that limit for themselves and place it far lower than their natural ability would warrant. One cannot tire of Na- poleon’s reply to those who tried to point out the ampassibility of the Alpine passes when he said, “There is no Alps.’ That is the point of view of the normal man who has not been dwarfed by what others think of him. The human will is the most wonderful force in the universe. The nature of it is that the more you expect of it the more you get, Let us there- fore refuse the bondage of those who would set limits to our achievement and launch out into the full liberty of men who have faith in themselves.

An air- man, when under fire, has to keep up continual glides, sharp turns and evolutions in order to prevent the enemy from getting an accurate aim. “Looping the loop, however, is strictly forbidden.’ (NOTICE.
