BOASTED GERMAN
EFFICIENCY FAILING.
Much has been written and a great
deal more said of the wonderful effi
ciency of the Germans. Particular
stress has been laid in the word and
story on the effenciency of the espion
age system built up by the Teuton se
cret service.
Our own intelligence department at
Washington of late seems to have
taken the wind out of the sails of the
Germans. Exposure of German trick
ery and chicanery after exposure has
come out of Washington. Yet there
has been no claim made to an effi
ciency in this department any greater
than that in any other.
The Teutons are entitled to no more
credit for efficiency than are any
other peoples. Their boasted espion
age system has been founded upon the
natural honesty of others. It is only
since the developments of the great
war that the inherent honesty of the
militarists of Germany has been
brought to light.
Honest men do not suspect dishon
esty in others. Honest men subscribe
to the Biblical injunction to “do unto
others as you would be done by," and,
this being true, they believe that those
with whom they have social and busi
ness intercourse are as honest as
themselves, and order their conduct
accordingly.
When the eyes of honest men are
opened, they are as harp as those of
the tricksters. That is what has hap
pened. The world has discovered that
the ruling faction in Germany is not
to be trusted; that for years they have
been dealing with hypocrites. The
honest men are recalling incidents of
the past and are looking into them
with the result that Teuton treachery
is being shown up. Warned, the world
is stopping chicanery. It is bottling
up the trickster and making it increas
ingly difficult for him to “get awy
with it.’ '
Efficiency in other directions is but
attention Ip detail. The German has
been the pt odder of the world. The de
tail of H<fl work has been left to
him to do Out of it he has made a
large work and the other peoples, in
tent upon larger things, have been sat
isfied to let him do it. War necessity,
however, has shown that the German
has no monopoly on efficiency in small
things. Other nationalities have
buckled down and are doing quite as
well — in many instances much
better.
Speaking of apropriate names for
our troops in Europe -how would
’.’Americans” do?

THE RENAISSANCE.
The great war, notable as It Is
among wars, may not occupy a greater
place In the hlHtory than the record
of the renaissance in human affairs
which Its activities have induced and
will continue to engender, says the
Seattle I’ost-lntelllgencer.
The war has awakened timid hu
manity from Its east an dlethargy,
and driven it from its rut. Men are
no longer afraid to depart from cus
tom and convention. War, in three
years, has completely outgrown the
old system of warfare. Army officers
who have devoted their lives to acqulr
Ing Its arts ure as ignorant of the new
methods as the civilian. Men no long
er hesitate to lay aside custom, and
venture upon untried methods in
every department of human activity.
The old bonds are being severed;
man is footloose and free, entering
with courage and confidence upon the
new era. Medieval Germany fits illy
into the new order; the logic of evonts
has condemned Its archaic govern
ment, even though the armies of the
allies have not yet accomplished its
overthrow. The kaiser is struggling
against the power of a world move
ment stronger than any weapon that
man may devise.
Though we have yet but touched
the fringe of war, It is reconstructing
the whole system of American life, in
commerce, in Industry and In the lives
of the people. Revolutionary changes
that have becti foreshadowed these
many years are being made without
protest or friction or interruption of
business. We are rubbing the fatness
from our eyes and awakening to new
life, to new opportunities. When the
war Is ended America will be trans
formed, facing the future with new
hope, new power and new light.
Every dreamer visions the future
In the light of his own hope; but men
propose, and a greater power disposes.
The world not only hears the clash
of arms, but It hears the clamor of
many voices. Russia, called upon to
reconstruct its national life, lies para
lyzed by its conflicting and chaotic
forces, and demonstrates to civiliza
tion that anarchy is not the liberty
that the world craves and fights for.
Meanwhile the mills of the gods grind
on, regardless of man's uncertain and
groping purposes.

It Is the intention of the engineer
ing comission to complete five miles
of narrow guage railway by the fall to
conect up with the Tanana Valley
railroad, and It now seems that the
objective is to be accomplished. The
rails that will be laid are not on the
ground yet, but it is expected that
sufficient grading work will have been
done to enable a steel gang to go to
work as son as they arrive.
