WHAT DOES GERMANY WANT?
The American peeple as a whole
don’t pretend to understand the
psychology of” tbe‘ti'crman nation in

mans understand our national psycho-
logy. The latest diplomatic develop-
ment make it still harder to bridge
the gap. ‘
':We do not like to he told, as the
office has just told us,
that we.,aro‘ nsincerg in our warps“—
cy, that we have tamely acquiesced in
the :Britlsl111blockade of German com
1. merce, and that it is our duty to force
Great Britain tolitt the blockade,
We do not like to have the Ger-
man foreign office tell us that the
sinking of the Frye by the Eitel Fried~
rich was wholly justifiable, and then
salve our feelings by agreeing to the
damage anyhow, through the subter—
logo of a forgotten treaty made with
Prussia long before the German Em-
pire was born.
We do not like to have the German
foreign oi’flco send us a curt denial of
the responsibility for the death of an
American citizen on the British boat
‘Falaba, before' we have made our pro-
" test.
We do not like to have Ambassador

private expression in Germany. “What
is said in the streets is here shouted

And when George W. Perkins asks
him what the industrial workers want,
he shouts, “.Wo want it all." Needless
to say. no industrial problems will ev-

unreasonable than that. The sooner

of some 1,800 in the league teams
have enlismd in the Football Battal-

press purpose of bringing this class
of professional athletes to the colors
and of breaking up a sport which is
supposed to have bad effect on the
recruiting campaign.
“The laxity of football profession-
ulso and their following has amounted
to almost a public scandal," states
Colonel C. F. Grantham, commanding
the battalion, “i am aware and have
proof that in many cases directors
and managers of clubs have not only
given no assistance in getting these
men to join, but have done their best
by their actions to prevent it. 1 will
