Mo-l Degradins Re.ulion in llic ortli .ca T?OI! a century to come no German will be able to recull the unresisting sur ipndcr of Ids nntion's fl els without a sense of shame and overwhelming" de spair. Tliis i-, the killinir nllliction that kultur htiv imposed iinally on those who fostered it. Any one who finds comfoit in hutiiiK (iermany, unj one who has wished lo see the thing- i' knew a.- (ierniiinism Riven to complete annihilation, has only to view the so.tv drama of the North Sea and ho at peace. Hole the unaided logic by which Willielm tried to fnunil an empire provided its own end in utter dcciatla tion. H was not merely ships that sur rendered. The impoverished soul of a people went also into humiliation anil captivity. Germany may never again have a navy. I'or the pride by which men sur vive upon the deep waters was sur rendered when the Hoots from Kiel trailed out and gae themselves up With out a struggle. England and America now dominate, the seas. But for any one who may find a cause for vanity in this circumstance tho end of the German navy is tilled with omens. At no time in the war did their cherished logic so terribly betray the Ge-mnn people as when they were led to suriondcr because it was convenient to .surrender. Their logic unfitted thm for the sea, just as their logic fitted them for a great place in the world!' They might have won something enduring "by a last battle to the death. But that would not have been logical, according to their standards. ' German logic dictated the War. Ger man logic made the'. Kaisoi's flirht seem reasonable. Everywhere German logic failed. Because stark logic alone never won a great battle. It never uplifted a people, or discovered a country, or made men loved, or nations great, or revealed new light, or held families' together, or joined men in great causes. And, of course, the German mind, devastated as it was by the philosophy of materialism, could not understand that those who win often are the losers and that permanent victory often is reserved for the van quished. Their loss therefore is com plete. Had they gone blazing out to fight a last time upon the sea, as others have gone before upon lost causes, their ships would have been sunk. Yet they would fiwe wonjsomething from the gen eral wreck of their nation. They would have died. But they would have lived in the courage of those who will follow after them to remember their example. Even those who most dislike Germany cannot say that this was because the German people are altogether without courage. They put calculation above courage, the mind above the heart. And since the sea is much- like the greater world of men, since it demands more than reason in the victories it accords, so the German fleets are -more than prizes of war for the Powers that h'oid them now. They are a sign to prove that in the larger world of tomorrow govern ments, like men, must be morally great or perish. Logic and calculation and cunning and compromise aro not enough. The final answer to the questions that harass gov ernments nowadays cannot he found in balances and adjustments, laws and leagues and enactments. Ultimate jus tice must be sought where the German failed to seek guidance and whore, in the final emergency, he had no strength. It is in the heart of man. In the future it is the heart of hu manity that will question governments. From the heart it must be answered by those who assume to leadership. There is indeed a 'guiding' symbolism in the last adventure of the German navy that yet will be 'made plain in epics. Russian and Italian and French ships have fought against hopeless odds time after time in the recent war. Had tho German vessels been of the British or the American navies they would have followed glorious traditions and ap peared with their bands playing and their battleflags against the. sky. They would have fought till the waters closed over the.m. The men upon their ,decks would have gone down- cheering defiance and the flags of the' enelny would have dipped to them m reverence. But such a procedure was not possible to a nation, rotted out 'for generations by the Neitzches and the Bernhardis, the Treitchkes and the Hohenzollerns and all the ,other propagandists of fact and ma terialism, -The cost to future Germany Is great, For it ia bV the battles that they havo lost that nations and men mow defiantly in their blood ahd are forever giving new pride to them. ; Of the Germans it may be said that they had the worst sort of teachers for war and for peace. The sea itself, the North Sea, where the German ships gave themselves ip in the shameful process of moek stir render, is a better teacher ' than the Neitzches and the Bemhnrdis, She hns been the gray old mother of the valiant from the beginning of history. The children of all her years have been trained hard in the ways of wisdom, in v,iloi- and in tenderness. They have been given gales to beat upon them and cold and darkness and endless perils-to tom pe? their souls. They know better than any men alive that logic will get you nowhere in a tempest unless you have strength of soul and faith of heart and a fixed devotion to a good cause. The world is full of storms. It re quires a nobler force than logic a thipg which modern Germany did not have. So it seems oddly right that what re mained of German pride should be buried at sen in a part of the world where, every day of the year, humble men about their day's work, fighting the stm ms of heaven no more fervently than they succor the weak and the unfor tunate, reveal by example the meanness and the futility of the defective logic which was the hope and anchor of tin empire.

SIT.;t'HI) THE VICTORY ART IT IS ens tu laugh at the heavy pompo-s-lt of lieiim's Siegesalloe or the colos sal Germanla -which o.-erfooli.s the Rhine. Derision with a clear artistic conscience, however, is less facilely emppor.eu In the nnjoritv of instances the inability to express patriotism, however sincere, in nileiiiale terms of lnnnze or stone has been ll.mrantl manifested throughout our own country. Philadelphia has Its Smith Memorial. Camden Its only lecently In Hided Washington statue. Most of the Civil War monuments have only Ihe spirit which prompted them to commend tH"ir existence. Well worth heeding, therefore, Is the precatitionaiy tosolution adopted lit a meeting of piominent designers, architects and other .trusts the other day at the Philadelphia Sketch Club. It was thore urged that 1 .itiunal, State and municipal authorities fmestall in the .resent victory era a repetition of monumental follies ny intrusting "Die designing and directing of design to at lists, sculptors and painters of the highest standing, the naming of winch t.hoiild lie lolt in a committee formed from their own recognized associations, which could co-opetaie with existing committers, either municipal or governmental." This danger signal Is most timely. A season of celebrations', which will give rise to a wide variety of niomoilnls of tho great war. immediately confronts us. Hasty, uninformed enthusiasm must not be permitted to engulf artistic discretion. The path is particular perilous' In that triumph has ever lent Itself to more gruvi n atrocities and blatant pictorial offenses than defeat. The ait of France tlnobbed with a new intensity after the tragedy of 1S7U. In the German artistic expression of that con tllct there are no names comparable Willi Detallle or Neuvllle. Richmond, too, makes a fur better showing on Civil War me morials than many of the northern cities. Civic and national prldo' today cannot afford to lie traduiod byclumslness of either chisel or brush In translating into enduring form the eternal significance of the titanic strife fought for, world re demption.

Modern Arabian Nights Those who think that Grub street has lost its old romunce will do well to read Robert Cortes Holliday's sparkling ' and sympathetic memoir of Joyce Kilmer. This vivid and' courageous spirit that moved upon New York to take its literary pin nacles by storm began as a salesman in a large Fifth avenue bookstore at $8 a week. Misreading a price cipher in a $150 book, he charged it to a customer at $i.GO, and his npsltlon lasted only two weeks. The next step was "defining" words at five cents each for the new edition of a dic tionary. He defined words so rapidly, how ever, that his employers found It neces sary to put hlmv upon salary instead of piece wages. 'Assistant editorship of a religious journal followed; then Ii staff position on the N,ew York Times, to which he added Innumerable pther tasks select ing poetry to be reprinted for tho Literary Digest; -lecturing; writing introductions; anthologizing; contributing tq encyclope dia; (Interviewing celebrities- It Is no won der, as Mr. HpMday tells us, that, the young poet Invented the engaging theory that plenty ot food is a satisfactory substitute tor sleep!

And Harrison died within a , few weeks of his Inauguration. There have thus far been three changes' in the Cublnet.of Mr. Wilson. "When Sec retary McAdoo's successor Is appointed only fourteen men will have held the ten positions. There were nine positions in the Cabinet when Itoosevelt was President and twenty-nine men held them. There were from two lo six different men in every office save that of Secretary of Agricul ture, .liunes Wilson presided In the Agri cultural Department through three admin istrations, beginning with McKlnley and ending with Taft, a record not equaled by any other Cabinet officer from the begin ning of .the Republic. MR. -McADOO retires nov for personal reasons. He says -tl.at there are iio others, and his Word must be accepted. He has served six years at great personal sacrifice and must now devote himself to. his private business. He says he would have retfred at tho end of Mr. Wilson's first term if tho war had not begun. He remained until the armistice was signed and three Cays later wrote his resignation. Mr. Wilson kept It a week before accept ing it. and as soon as the acceptance was rin his hands Mr. "McAdoo look the public into his confidence'. THE other retirements from Mr. Wilson's Cabinet were not made so amiably. The first was that of Mr, Bryan. The distin guished and extln'guissfc'd Nebraskan was taken into the Cabinet tor purely political reasons. Tho friends of Mr. Wilson ex plained that It was thought more comfort able to have him inside the camp throw ing stones out than to. have him outside throwing stones In. But as .;oon as his fitness for the post. was l,ut t0 tll. test lle failed', He was signing vigorous notes to Germany, written by the President, and at the same time telling the Austrian am bassador that Mr. Wilson did not mean what he Bald, but was talking only for political effect at home. When Ambassa dor Gerard reported from Berlin What the German Foreign Secretary told him about Mr, Bryan's communications to the. Aus trian ambassador in Washington the Sec retary of State resigned, and issued thtee or four broadsiaes explaining iub position. It is believed In Washington that his res-. Ignatlon was asked 'for, though there . Is no authoritative Information on the sub ject. A distinguished Callforntan who was passing through the capital at the time was taken to call on the former Secretary of State by a mutual friend, and the Call fornlan reported to his acquaintances that he had never before seen u.man so com, pletely dazed and dumfdunded by the fate which had overtaken him. f-rtHE elimination of Mr,. Bryan marked J- the first break in Mr. Wilson's official family. The next came, when Llndley. 'M. Garrison, his Secretary I of War,, resigned summarily after the P" estdent reversed his position on the, plans of the War Depart ment for strengthening the army, Mr. Gairlson had devised a' plan, in .consulta tlVn wltft military" experts, which would have pift the army Jn better conation for any demands thnt,,inght be made, uponyjt than J had bw ,im71, : : U ' r 11 -- '' minfmriil tfea mm.. tmr i(wmi HEY, AIN'T IT OVER OVER HERE) TOO?"

Ater such r. slap in the face the only course left to a self respecting man was to step out, and that Mr. Garrison took. The first lreak came when It. was neces sary to get rid of an Incompetent Secre tary, and the second break came when, a competent Secrqlary resented the attitude, of his superior. piIANGFS in the Cabinet are the rule rather than the exception. Washington had four Secretaries of State, two Secre taries of the Treasury, three Secretaries of War, three Postmasters General and three Attorneys General, making fifteen differ ent men in tho five offices. McKlnley's Cabinet was a little more stable, although Ml-. McKlnley did not serve eight years. There were eight portfolios at his disposal and there were changes In ho men In charge of five of them.
