MAX HARDEN TELLS THE TRUTH
Germans Driven. Like Flock of Sheep
by a Merciless Shepherd.
Underground rumblings in Germany
have grown in intensity, like the Brit-
ish artillery fire, within the past few
weeks. The real import is conveyed
by the only man in Germany still out
of gaol 'who has the courage and the
opportunity to speak the truth.
In a late number of his Govern-
ment -defying weekly review, Zukunft,
Herr Maximilian Harden has a re-
markable article entitled "Those Un-
derground." It is a straight -from -the -
shoulder attack on the Government
and the War Party's fear to unmuzzle
public opinion. Written on the eve of
the Socialist Liebknecht's sentence
and the suppression of the Liberal -
Radical Berliner Tageblatt for merely
demanding afresh the right to discuss
"our war aims," Harden's article is
proof that the crusade to face the pre-
sent facts about the war—Germany's
hopeless fight for peace on her terms
—is a strong and grpwi ig movement.
Without at all exaggerating its im-
portance it is undoubtedly a manifest-
ation of no little promise and encour-
agement.
The significance of the crusade for
the truth lies in the identity of the
crusaders. They include:
1. The working classes, who realike
the utter •impoverishment which 'pro-
longation of the war means for indus-
trial Germany.
2. The moneyed, commercial and fi-
nancial classes, shippers, merchants,
manufacturers, and bankers, for whom
the Berliner Tageblatt and Harden
have always ben recognized as spokes-
men.
The latter—the Ballins, Gwinners,
Rathenaus, Riessers, Thyssens, Kir-
dorfs, Furstenbergs, Stinnes's and the
other captains of industry and .finance
—know perfectly well that time is
fighting on the allies' side. Their "own
interlocking associations . with the
Government make it impossible for
them tospeak out. So they use Hard-
en for their purpose. When Harden
declares that if the German people's
real sentiments could be expressed the
end of the war would be in sight he is
talking not for himself but for Ger-
many's gagged and muzzled men of
affairs. The Government's attitude,
toward the demands , of these classes
is that public discussion of the war
would "injure us abroad" and "under-
mine domestic unity." This is the
crusaders' reply, made in their name
by Harden:
"It is not what Schmidt or Schultz
thinks about the conduct and object
of the war which damages us abroad.
What hurts our prestige is the figure
we have cut for nearly two years now
of a flock of docile sheep driven be-
fore a merciless shepherd. Our ene-
rnies are listening to the. right .and
the left, but can nowhere hear what
the will of the German people is, If
they could, we would be near to the
peace which is to -day possible, noel
which only a miracle can improve."
FOR YOU AND I.
If you would smile a little more
And I would kinder be;
If you would stop to think before
You think of faults you see;
If I would show more patience, too,
With all with whom I'm hurled,
Then I would help—and so vrol'ild you
To make a better world.
If you would cheer your neighbor more
And I'd encourage mine;
If you would linger at his door
To say his work is fine.
And I would stop to help him when
His lips in frowns are curled;
Both you and I'd be helping then
To make a better world.
But just as long as you keep still
And plod your selfish way;
And I rush on and heedless kill
The kind words I could say;
While you and I refuse to smile
And keep our gay flags furled;
Some one will grumble all the while
That it's a gloomy world.
—Edgar A. Guest.

British Staff Officer Says They Have

Lord Tennyson, writing in the Lon-

English staff officer in France;
"The Canadians have done won-
derfully well, and we are proud of
fighting with them,' he says. "The
way they fought to recover the lost
trenches was a lesson to everyone.
We shall never forget it, They are
the most hospitable and self-denying
lot, and they will share the last crust
or drop of water with any of us who
need it. We have the greatest ad-
miration for them after the recent
fighting."

THE "BIG DRIVE."
----
BY Charles M. Bice, Denver, Cola.
Delusion, if riot disappointment,
lurks in the phrase "big drive," as ap-
plied to the offensive movement of
the allies an the western front. The
over -enthusiastic have visions of a
vast army. of millions sweeping north
and east and driving the Germans be-
fore them. The thing, unfortunately;
is impossible.
It was as nearly realized as it prob-
ably ever will be in this war at the
battle of the Marne, but that was be-
fore the era of trench warfare. North-
ern France and Belgium behind the
German lines is now a vast area of
prepared defenses and military
trenches.
A comparatively few men can hold
entrenched positions against vastly
superior numbers of infantry. Noe"e

guns, nor any faster than they can be
brought up to prepare the way.
Those who conceive of the so-eallecl
"big push" as one great continuous
movement along the whole front cher-
ish an uninformed conception of the
true situation. The big drive now tak-
ing place is the composite result of

The English writer said: "Even be-

women in England to the number of
over one and one-half millions. Now
there are millions more, and these,
at the Government's request, have
gone into industry to take the places
of the men at the front. These women
are there to stay, for there will not
be sufficient men to marry them."
