the criminal is this: In one way or

He ceases to see things in their just

He convinces; himself that he has a

and his family and fronds 'took all
that Great Britain mould produce —
never, I am glad to`' say, a large a-
mount, but enough to put James into
business with the Almighty. To be
sure, it was not a full partnership.
It was no absolute Hohenzollern . mon-
opoly of.mortal participation. - It was
com,parively niodest, but its was en-
ough to outrage the common sense of
the English. After all, divine part-
nerships were not for the land of
Fielding and Sinollett and Swift and
Dickens and ,Thackeray. Too much.
humor there. ;Too much liberty of
, the tongue and pen. Too great a gift
for ridicule. Where there is ridicule
there can be no self_appointed coun-
sellors of God, and handmade halos of
divinity find their way to the garbage
heap.,
Now, if we are to have sound corn-
mon sense, we must have humor,' and
if we are - to have humor we must
have liberty. There can be no crown
or mitered knave, no sacred,, fawni':g
idiot, who is immune from ridicule;
no little tin dietes who can safely slash
you with a sword unless you give
them the whale a sidewalk. Humor
would' .take care of them; not the ex-
uberance: that .is born in the wine-
press or the beer-vat—humor is no
by-product of !the brewery—but the
;merriment that comes when common
sense has been vindicated by ridicule.
Solernn ty is' often wedded to Con-
ceit, and their children have committed
all the crimes on record. You may
alwaye look for the devil in the neigh-
borhood ,.shoed of some solemn and conceited
ass who has inherited power and who,
like the one that Balaam rode, speaks
for the Almighty. So, when the devil
came back, he steered for. Germany.
There he began to. destroy the common
sense of a race with the atmosphere
of hell—Prot ` ir. We have seen its
effect. It - i stes the intellect. • It
produces the eumatic rubber brain
—the brain that keeps its friends busy
with tkie pump of adulation;
the brain stretched to hold its
conceit: out of which we can
hear the hot air leaking in streams
of boastfulness.;The divine afflatus of
an emperor is apt to make as much
disturbance as a leaky == steam -pipe .
When the pumpers cease because they
are weary, it becomes irritated. Then
all hands to they pumps again. Soon
there is no illusion of grandeur too
absurd to be real, no indictment of
idiotic presumption which it is unwill-
ing to admit.
By and by it breaks into the realm
of the infinite aid hastens to the suc-
cor of God, for, to the pneumatic brain
God is slow and old-fashioned. There-
after it infests: the heavenly . throne _
and seeks to turn it into a plant -for
the manufacture of improved morals,
and so, as to insure their popularity,
every agent for these morals is to
carry a sword and a gun and a license
to use them The alleged improve-
ment consists in. taking all the nots

wagon to infinity: It is the *old scheme
of Nero and ` Caligula—the ancient
dream ' of the g pneumatic prince. He
scan rule a great nation, but `first he
must fool it. 1 •
You may think that this endangered
the national •morals, but do not be has-
ty. The morals were being looked' af-
ter.
f
ter.
Every school, every pulpit, every
newspaper, every book, became a
pumping -station for hot air: impreg-
nated with the new morals. Poets,
philosophers, orators, teachers, states-
men, romancers, were summoned to
th pumps. Rivers of beer and wine
flowed into the national abdomen and
were converted into mental
flatulency. -
For thirty years Germany had been rob it of its best possessions—Hin-
on a steady dream diet. It took its denburglars! In this war we must
morning hate with its coffee tand pray-
ers, its hourly selfcontentrnent with
its toil, its evening superiority with
its beer and `. frankfurters. History
was falsified, philosophy bribed, reli-
gion coerced and corrupted] conscience
silenced—at first by sophistry, then by
the iron hand: Hot air was .blowing
from all sides=. It was - no gentle
breeze. It was a simoon, a tornado.
No one could stand before it --not
even a sturdy Liebknecht or an un-
sullied Harden.
Germany was inebriated with a
sense of its mental grandeur and mor-
al pulchritude j Now 'moral pulchri-
tude is like a forest flower. It
can
-
not stand the fierce glare of publicity;
you cannot *die it as you would
handle sausages! and dye' and fertilize..
Notice how the German military party
is advertising its moral pulchritude—
one hundred per cent. pure, blue rib-
bon, (spurlos , versenkt), honest -to-
God morality! , = ;the kind ,that made
hell famous. I don't blame them at all.
How would airy one know that they
had it if they 'did not advertise it ?
It is easy to accept the hot-air
treatment for common sense—easy
even for sober-minded men. The co-
caine habit i$ not more swiftly ac-
quireed and brings a like sense of
comfort and' exhilaration. Slowly the
Germans yielded to its sweet induce-
ment. The began to believe that
they were supermen—the chosen peo-
ple; they thanked God that they were
not like other men. Their first crime
was that of grabbng everything in the
heaven of holy promise. Those. clever
Prussians had arranged with St.
Peter for all the reserved seats- -no-
thing but standing room left. Heaven
was to be a place exclusively for the
lovers of frankfurters and sauerkraut
and Limgurger cheese: God was al-
together their God. Of course! Was
he not a member of the firm. of. Hohen-
zollern and Knipp ? And, being so,
other races were a bore and an em-
barassment. Would he not gladly be
rid of them? Certainly. Other races
were God's enemies, and therefore
German enemies. So it became the
right and duty of the Germans to
reach out and possess the earth and
its fiullness. The day had arrived.
There was nothing in the world but
Germans and enemies and loot.
and piracy. H

Isuch an issue, I declare myself ready
to lay all that 1 have or may have on
the old altar of our common `faith.
My friends, be of good cheer. The
God of our Fathers has not been Kais-
ered or Krupped or hurried in-. the
least, There is ne danger that heav-
en will be Teutonized.
"The shouting and the tumult dies ---
The captains and the kings depart—
Still' stands -Thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of hosts be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget.”
Lest we forget the innumerable dead.
who have nobly .died, and the host of
the living who with a just and com-
monsense and love of honour have 1
sent them forth to die. Lest we for-
get that we and our allies have not
been above reproach; that there were'.
sign's of decadence among us—in the
growing love of ease and idleness, in
the tango daice of literature and lust,
in the 'exaltation of pleasure in a very
definite degeneration sof our moral fiber
. Lest we forget -that our spirit is be-
ing purified in the furnace of war and
the shadow of death. Do you remem-
ber
emember the protest of those poilus when .�
some unelean plays were sent to the 1
battlefront for their :'entertainment?
"We are not pigs": that was the
message they sent back.
Lest we forget that the spirt of man
has been lifted up out of the mud and
dust of the battle lines, out of the body
tortured with pain and weariness and
vermin, out of the close companion-
ship
ompanionship of the dead into high association
on the bloody altar of liberty and sac-
rifice. -
Lest we forget that the. ,spirit of our
own boys shall be thus lifted' up, and
our duty to put oatr . house in order
and make it a fit place for them to
live in when they `shall have return-
ed to it from the battlefields , swept,
as a soldier has written, by the cleans-
ing winds of God.
The most sublime and beautiful
thing the world has ever seen in t'he
common sense of the common men and
women of the civilized nations of to- -
day.

the burglar will kill us.
When 1 went away to the battle-
front, a friend said to me; "Try to
learn how this incredible thing came
about and why it continues. That is
what every one wishes to know.'
Well, hot air was the cause of • it,
Now why does it continue? My ans-
wer is, Bone-head—mostly plumed
Bone -head.
Think of- those diplomats who.
were twenty years in Germany and yet
knew nothing of what was going on
around them and of its implications!
You say that they did know, and that
they warned . their peoples? - Well,
then, you may shift the bone -heads
onto other shoulders, Think of the
diplomatic failures that have followed:
I bow my head to the people of
England and td the incomparable valor
of her armies and fleets. My friend-
ly criticism is aimed at the 'one and
only point in which she could be said
to resemble Germany, vie , in a cer-
tain limited ei ouragemertt of super-
men. • .
Now, if the last three years have
taught us anything, it is this: the sup-
ermari;is going to be unsupered. Con-
sidering the high cost of upkeep and
continuous adulatioe, he does not pay.
He is in the nature, of a needless tax
upon hu u n life ad security. Hit
mistakes, even to use no harsher word-,
have slaughtered more human beings
than there are in the world. The born
gentleman and professional aristo-
crat, with a hot-air receiver on his
name, who- lies in a tower of inherited
superiority and looks down at life
through hazy distance with a telescope
has and can have no common sense.
He has not that intimate knowledge
of human nature which comes only of
a long and close contact with human
beings. Without that knowledge he
will know no more of what is inthe
other fellow's mind and the bluff that
covers it in a critical clash of wits
than a baby sucking its bottle in a
perambulator. He fails,. and the cost
of his failure no man can estimate.
He 'stands discredited.
Now is the time when all men must
choose between- two ideals: That of
