EDITORIAL COMMENT OK GERMANY'S WAR PHESS The enormity of the world do minion or downfall as planned by many is most accurately outlined in a recent pamphlet issued by W. H, Gardiner, member of the Trustees of the American Defense Society, re flects the inflated dreams of German statesmen at a time when they felt confident of being -yet able to win the war with an overwhelming vic tory. also a desire In the German Pface overtures to end the present war on a basis that will leave her free to accomplish her end in the next war. It is also evident that in the orig inal plans Germany did not anticipate the early entrance of Great Britain into the war or later the entry of the United States, but that after conquer ing Belgium and Holland, as well as the control of Turkey, she would then wage war against England, which by review of the offensive power dis played by Germany in the past three years would have made this world wide plan possible and established a Teutonic supremacy that would have dominated all of Europe ant seriously menaced the future of Amer ican trade abroad. Mr. Gardiner states in his pamphlet, "These plans are so amazingly ambi tious and are founded on such an utterly cynical and ruthless disre gard of the rights and liberties of al' non-Germans, that it is hardly credible that such preparation could bo accomplished without heralding its own danger to the other powers." Justice For 24 Years; Never Sent Man to Jail Pittsburgh, Pa. Thousands of men before him, charged with va rious crimes, but not a man sent to jail in twenty-four years, was the record of Squire George McQuiggan, aged 70 years, who died In a local hospital recently. , Elected to the office of Justice of the Peace of North Versailles town ship, Squire McQuiggan was re-elect ed term after term. Time and again when it seemed as if the great rec ord would be blemished the Squire, noted for nis kindness, would find a way to prevent sending an unfor tunate to the tastile. He made per sonal appeals to property holders several times to obtain bond for an accused person and last year, when an Italian, charged with stabbing a fellow countryman, could not get ball, McQuiggan personally gave bond for the accused man. Munich Men Salute Last Stein of Beer Amsterdam, Netherlands. "The last stein of real beer" has been given a pathetic sendoff in Munich, the city of the famous Rathskellers. According to the Munich Neueste Nachrichten, it was on a Sunday ••venlng when the last barrel had to be broached at the palatial beer taverns. Mine host announced to his customers that this was going to be the last real pint at the old price, as the next day only small beer was to be served. *'hlch would be dearer in price. "It was a sad moment, and heavy were our hearts," says the Nachrich ten. "when the last stein was lifted on high and drflnk in silence." Brewery prospects are not bright as it is announced that for the next fall a much smaller supply of barley will be available. CRUEL NATURE We fear we have an inherently cruel nature and hardly anything amuses us more than to see the neighbor's cat high-stepping abound in the most bewildered and mentally depressed manner, apparently feeling that the whole world has turned against her, after the active and alert neighbor boys have succeeded in apprehending her and incased each of her four feet securely in a stout paper bag.—Ohio State Journal.
