That is Germany's confession of sii
and avowal of repentance, as made b)
her ambassador to Great Britain. Ii
leaves her without any justification
except the one which Llchnowsk)
pleads, that she is governed by a cask
of duellists who are determined h
dominate the world by the sword
That sword wil have to be broken it
the handR of the Kaiser before tin
world will be able to live with Ger
many. Lfchnowsky, like Muhlon, for
sees it.
Germany to Blame
Vorwaerts, the socialist newspapet
of Germany, forsees it. And the Ger
mail Americans are beginning to for
see it, too. One of their most influ
elltia 1 dailies, tile Gertnania-Merald, of
Milwaukee, has made editorially "An
Open Confession." which reads:
"It is our duty to make it. We, too.
were among those who laid the blame
for the world war at the doors of
Knglish statesmen. We, too. have
tim" and again repeated the assertion
to our renders that these Knglish
statesmen, jealous of Germany's suc
cess in tlie world markets, attempted
to 'encircle' Germany We. too. have
repeatedly stated (hat Germany is en
titled to a place in the sun We did
so in good faith. For we then lie
lived what the organs of the Ger
man government proclaimed. We be
lieved at the beginning of the war. and
years thereafter. what most of
the other German papers repeated.
“We were then fully convinced, that
the program of the Knglish statesmen
consisted of nothing less than to stop
Germany's commercial and colonial ex
pansion. With us one-half of the
world of the western hemisphere was
convinced through the press of Ger
many. We believed in the press of the
old fatherland, which preached hatred
against Knglam! everywhere, following
its governmental press, where the
German voice was sounded. Sir Kd
ward Grey, the dictator of foreign af
fairs for Great Britain, appeared to
us as a paragon of baseness. Now we
and with us the rest of the world
which then credulously listened, are
convinced of the opposite. We know
now that the British statesmen, and
with them the statesmen of the allies,
did not only have no warlike meas
ures against Germany in mind hut to
the last minute endeavored to do their
utmost to avoid the war. The blame
for the hlodshed lies with the Ger
man government
"Politiken, the organ of the Swed
ish socialists of the excreme left, on
March 1T>, published the historical
document by which this guilt is eHtab
lished. It was a so-called 'memoran
dum’ by Prince Karl Max Liehnowsky,
who before* and at the time of the
< ommencement of the war was the am
bassador for the German empire in
London.”
After quoting at length from the
‘memorandum.’ the editor says: "It is
to he remembered that these words are
not those of an Knglishman. They are
the words of one of the noblest of the
German nation, to which the German
emperor entrusted the most import-,
ant foreign post and with whom Wil
liam II in his youth was closely as
sociated” And the editor concludes:!
"Who hears the blame that the Ger
man people were goaded into a fur
ious hate and thereby into a war
spirit? Only those in the service of
the junker class, who are the ruling
military caste in Germany, in con
trol of the government The pun Ger
mans in their megalomania are the
ones who brought about this calamity
upon the German people.”

HANDLING Of'TRANSPORT j
AT GREAT CANTONMENT
C \MP I.KUTS. Tacoma, Wash. The
visitor to ('sm]i Lewis, whose impres
sions of vamp were obtained last fall
in the early days of the cantonment,
would be surprised today at tho change
in tho handling of transportation of
men to and from camp. Last tall,
outsale of the railroad to American
Luke, there was no regular service.
Automobile driv ers were reaping a t iv h
harvest, ehurging exorbitant rates to
carry soldiers into the city and back
again There always was a mad rush
tor busses and the huskiest 01 the
no n ,v ere first to get rides To t > ■'n
Then came the military poliee 01
'utilization. An officer was plac 'd in'
< barge of the motor traffic. A mis
-.latent was established and men wore
ro'iuired to await their turn in a well
conducted line for the busses. A fifty
com fare was established and any'
driver charging in excess of that duet
a at tltc t isU o. Itav itlg hi- p 'i'll
it vokru.
I.cgally the milit.irv police have no
authorlly over tlie bos drivers. Their
control ex' ends lo the Units of lie- tes
ervntion, hut through the issuance ot
permits lo those drivers woo colei
cutup, the military police have the sit
, nation well in hand There is no hath
cling willi Ho- law. li a driver e\
reeds the speed limits of the res
creation or charges excessive fare his
permit is taken away without cere-f
. ninny. Military police on mototey. Ice
patrol tile road between Tacoma and
Lamp and whenever a driver violates
i any of the cantonment traffic rules,!
i even if lie is not on the cantonment at
I the time, his name is reported and if
the cause is sufficient his permit is
revoked.
It is a wholesale regulation and has
resulted in eliminating the disorder
ot the early days and preventing ac
cidents. Few serious accidents have
occurred on the camp highway in spite
ol the heavy traffic. From five to ten
thousand men have been moved from
camp into town on a Saturday after
noon. ....
