—
Tells of His Experience in That
Sorely -Tried Country.
Norman Angell, the world's
peace propkganclist of London, has
been here in France, where he has
been shut off from the outside
world in a small village. Of his ex-
periences he said.:
'3Soldiers, soldiers everywhere.
It was impossible to get away from
them. I was living cheek by jowl
with them, occasionally sharing
their food, sitting. rbuncl the camp
fires and discussing the war and
politics. The contrast 'between Eng-
land and France as 'regards the 'sit-
uation is striking. '
'Ip France there is not a family
that has not suffered priva,tion,
ruin, or loss of a member, mostly
'the breadwinner.. Thec..h,eelos of
wealthy persons remain uncashed.
Soineone goes to Paris with the
intention of returning home the
next day, and is swallowed up. A
week passes, and nothing is heard
of him. .We are told that the train
Service is 'Still exoalienlia. which
means that a_four hours' journey is
accomp,lished with luck in 16 or 20
hours.e'
Angll recited some of the ru-
mors current daily.
"Your local paper tells,1' he said,
"quite seriously that,the Russians
have entered Berlin and that Pots-
dam Palace is in ruins. Then you
get darkhints that whole French
regiments are demoralized and that
officers and men have been execut-
ed by scores with a distinguished
general thrown in.
'German spies are arrested
everywhere. Advertisements are
being ruthlessly pulled down by the
town officials on the ground that
they contain. some subtle ,form of
German espionage. .,
"Yet the soldiers with whom you
hobnob are models of good humor
and kindliness. Sometimes they
are the Most unmilitary of mili-
taires, goo, honest, bourgeois,
running to lat and a partiality for
sleep after meal. But the moment
they hear of German barbarities
they become Inflamed and pray for
a ehance to a,Venge them." '

crept in as if by 'stealth, he is not

Christianity Greater Folly.
In a word, Nietzsche believed that
Christianity ,a -rid. Democracy, . the
pillars of our life, were the great-
est of human follies. Both systenis
held the average man, the humble
man, the modest man as the ideal
type, and so put the brakes on pro-
gress. Both Christianity and Demo-
cracy preserved the weak and forced
the strong to give of their strength
to the weak. Nietzsche's ideal so,
cial .arrangement ;was' one in Which
there would be a huge, moral, help-
less slave class mastered byasniall,
active, progressive class, which did
not nim at the equality of all class-
es, but at the Ultimate production:,
at the top, of Superman! All *this
based ',upon an amendment to SekO:
penhaue,r, which Nietzsche . called
'the will to power.!' . •
The idea, ;took at enie in Gei--

huge mass is under the heel of a
master 'class—the militarists. pro_
lessors, eager to adopt Anything so

philosophy; began teaching it. And
•
this great mass, who can pass legis,
lation only under the censorship of
t,h. Kaiser, in spite of their vaunted
Socialistic strength, has grown up
to fancy itself "super." Por the
beauty "of Nietzsche is that he in-
veighed against monarchy just
enough"to allow this mass of which
he -spoke 5. o witheringly to imagine
itself capable of getting into the
running in the Superman stakes.
