THE NATION" AND MORAL Dl'TIE
The rulers of Germany Uelk-ve
that thej U>»ve tho right to prevail
ovtr all othur nations. They alsu
< elieve tha' the power of the state
is the only objevt for which it*
rulers should struggle. Still fur
her. they believe that moral prin
ciples atu' ide;i» have no place in de
termining the actions of the j-tate.
si.ice the sole duty of the state
»s .o sret power. This -s German
pol.ticai ph.losophy. American po
litical philosophy, from thu very
oeginninsr of our institutions, has
cpposed this theory, and now in this
war is fightittg against it. For
the German theory necessarily car
ries with it utter denial cf the
claims of moral feetitig. of interna
tional light. o£ human deceucy and
chivalry.
The Uerniau historian, Treitchke,
at whose fet-t princes and rulers
sa... eagerly absorbing his teachings
devoted l is life spreading thi<
yospel o' Power. It is true, he said
sueerinsly, that "a slock of inherit
ed conception or" integrity audi mor
ality is a necessity for government."

Ke ob~dienti, out "the «i'U all anil
oe all of a state in Power.-' "The
state is the solo judge of the mor
a'lty o' its ova actions. It is. in
fact, above morality, or, in other
words, whatever is necessary is
moral."
From this it follows, iu interna
tional relations that there is no
rule or ?uide to conduct except self
intertst. In this present war a
follower of Treitschke, one of the
leading common school educators of
Irermanv, Kirschensteiner of Mu
nich, drives home the theory. "The
great Itsaon which the German peo
ple has had to learn is to think in
terms of power Let no one
here say that ^huall states, too, can
have a national Slife of their own.
True, so long as the Krea.t states
around them allow them to exist.
But an- day- may see the en4 of
their existence, in spite of all trea
ties to the contrary Neith
er alliances nor treaties provide the
least security. . . . There are 110
ethical friendships between states
it! our day. . There are only friend
ship of convenience that last just
as long as the convenience itself."
.... Professor Euienberg of Leip
zig sums it up. "All ethical con
sider" tit-;;e -j.it completely alien to
AERIAL VIEW OF DESTROYED GERMAN COMMUNICATION TRENCHES

Infantry and artillery. This picture was made by a Belgian aerial observer from a height of several
the Belgian Infantry and artillery
thousand feet
the state anil the state must there
fore leso'.utely keep them at arm's i
length."
Cau «c wonder that the German
Foreign secretary spoke of the brg- I
ken treati with Belgium aa a "scrap
of paper'"; or that the school chil
dren ot Germajiy celebrated the sink
ing of th-j Lusitania? or that Ger- [
mau agents iu America, smoothly
friendly in appearance, secretly
plotted, betore we were iu the war, \
to destroy our industries, oiuj rail-|
ways, ev 11 our ilves?
Is il ara no such, thing any more j
"s a loiiimou liumanitv—110 "decent
respect to thi; opinion of mankind,"
as Thomas Jet't'ersoui stated it in
lilt Declaration of independence? Is
cur ideal or righteousness, yes, ev-;
en of unselfishness, impossible in
iutei'Jatkhiai politcs? This war,
if Geru.aLy is defeated, may de- j
cide lyoso questions, but if Ger
many wins, the struggle has just 1
begun.
This American democracy ot ours
dures, and has always denied, the
German theory; it -k^sci'ts that the
laws wltiih formulate the duties of
ineu toward each other are binding
u. on i.;itk>tis equally with individu
als. Far centuries civilization has
been tio.vly advancing from, ignor
a.ice, prejudice, aud selfishness to
ward sympathy, understanding, ajid
a ilfsli'-.' to see justice done, whether
betwe<jj individuals or nations. Tho
"be all ai.d end all" of a state is
not Power—it is justice.
Anil the German government has
left u< iu no doubt as to the re
sults if her theory, In application.
That . o'. e: anient has broken a sol
e".'.a Ucaty with Belgium, ordered tl'4
uiurdei or innocent hostages, bom
barded in fortified towns, torjedoed
unarmed passenger ships, destroyed
works of art where they could not
t>e carriid to Germany, plotted se
cret war against neutral nations—al
o' these actions she cuce pledged
herself to forego—has lost, iu short,
a]i sense, apparently, that slie is
dragging the former good name of
of the German people through a
mire o*" dishonor, the. stain of which,
w ill nc t t.c removed for generations.
Against this mad philosophy and
mad government the war must be
waged, u.itil they are defeated, or
there is iio safety for the men or
nations.
KOOKIK DRAWS $3,800 WEEKLY
Aver, Mass.—'Ihe routine of
coi.ecting biographies of recruits
tor the national army was broken iu
a somewhat startling manner by
Cart. Richmond P. Harding at
Camp Devens today.
"What's your average weekly
wa.'e'.'" h.e asked wearily of one of
tilt last of the final quota of the
firs' draft to arrive in camp.
"Altolit $;{,suo," came the answer.
"Weekly—wekely!" repeated the
i-a^taln.
"About $3,800," the rookie ans
wered in the same matter-of-fact
way.
The captain sank back iu his
chair.
"What's your business.?" he in
[juired. "What are you specially
[■rained in?"
"My business ha# been living • a
retired life for the last eight
rears," v.-as the answer. "I am
specially trained in investment."
Th° "rookie" was Harold L. Judd,
3f New Britain, Conn., owner of a
large factory. A few- years ago he
■vas married to Mrs. John W. Gates,
