British Cabinet Minister Says
Degeneracy of Germany
is Due to Idolatry
--- I
LONDON. Jan. 17—“The -funda- 1
mental evil of Germany today is idol
atry,” said said Lord Robert Cecil in
a statement for the Associated Press
today. “They have set up for them-1
selves a graven image, just as truly
as did the worshippers of Raal against
whom the prophets of the Bible
preached.
"Germany's idol is the state. They
place the state above religion, above
morality, above all laws of God or
man. They believe that any act is
justified which advances the Interests !
of the German state, how-ever base1
that act may be, however immoral,
however Inconsiderate of the lawful
rights of others.
“Otto Kahn, himself a German by or
igin, has defined this state-idolatry as
‘the demoniacal obsession of power
worship and world-dominion.'
“This idolatry is at the bottom of
our whole fight against Germany. It
is (he secret ^>f the whole revolting
list of outrages and atrocities which
Germany lias committed against the
gium, the Armenian atrocities, the un
speakable horrors of submarine war
fare—all these are the outcome of a
creed which holds that no laws of,
morality are binding when the defense j
of the state-idol is at stake.
“The results of this violating of the J
foundation of morality by Germany
are bound to be colossal and far-'
reaching. They mean the degeneracy,
of the whole German structure, and
!
the effects are already seen in the
wave of crime and immorality which
is sweeping over Germany. So long |
as the governing classes are infected,
with this doctrine there Is no limit to
the wickedness and cruelty which will
be put into execution. It means the
undermining ultimately of the whole
I
fabric of their civilization. This is j
what President Wilson lias foreseen.1
This is a reason for the determina-,
tlon of President Wilson and the lead
er of the allies on both sides of the!
water to carry this war through, |
whatever the cost,, in order that the I
wmrld may be a fit world to live in. j
“The Lansdowne letter has been j
thought by some to indicate somd(
weakening of determination on the
part of this country, some change of j
attitude. I believe any such imprc«-j
sion is a profound delusion. T knoWj
it is a delusion as far as the actual |
government of England is concerned, j
and I believe that the British people j"
as a whole, including Lord Lansdowne,
himself, are more determined than
ever to bring the war to a victorious
conclusion.

a certain degree of plausibility that
there are many points in which Dord
Lansdowme is in agreement with
President Wilson's message. That
may be so. But in the case of the
President’s message there breathes
through every line not only a deter
mination to win—for in that there is
no difference between the two men—
but also a certainty of victory. Presi
dent Wilson’s message has an inspira
tion of leadership which Lansdowne's
letter lacks.”

Juneau hunters claim that grouse
are more plentiful this season because I
of the bounty placed on eagles. The
eagles were responsible for the de
struction of many grouse in preced
ing years, and the nuisance to a
large extent has been abated.

According to the Dawson News, the
dredges of the Yukon company have
shut down for the winter season. The
last one stopped October 24, due to i
the cold shutting off the water sup
ply in the mountains.

FIRE!
A resident of Cordova had a
small fire in his house the other
day. It was extinguished By the
family at a loss of $150.00. The
next day he insured through us.
The cost of his insurance for
three years was less than his
loss at this trifling fire. Are
you, Mr. Property Owner, going
to wait until you have had a fire
before protecting yourself from
loss?
