A PRUSSIAN v?.,i;s YIKWS. Says Prussians Are the Only People Worthy to Rule the World. Here is a letter written by a Prussian schoolgirl to a friend in Switzerland. The writer undoubtedly is young. Therefore it is quite safe to assume that her views are reflected, and consequently throw a very good sidelight on the peculiar mental condition of the average German?the German of kultur, for her father is the state councilor of architecture. And if you were not aware that Adam and Eve were Prussians and that the Prussians are the lords par excellence of the' world, and that all other nations are only "weeds." the following letter, printed in the Scothman, will enlighten you on this and other interesting facts about Prussia: Frankfort-or-Order, 29th July, 1916. My Dear Louise: The contents of your last letter would have hurt me had I not known that your thoughts of our glorious war resulted from sheer ignorance. You are in a country rendered effeminate by the influence of old-fashioned ideas of liberty, a country which is at least two centuries behind ours. You are in need of a good dose of Prussian culture. It is evident that you, a Swiss girl, with your French sympathies, cannot understand how my heart, the heart of a young German girl, passionately desired this war. Speaking of it some years ago, my father said to us: "Children, Germany is getting too small for us; we shall have to go France again in order to find more room." Is it our fault if France will not understand that more money and land are necessary for us? And you reproach us that our soldiers have been very cruel to the Belgian rabble, and you speak also of the destruction of Rheims and of the burning of villages and towns. Well, that is war. As in every other undertaking, we are past masters in the making or war. iou nave aj great deal to learn before you can j come up to our standard, and I can i assure you tHat what has been done ; so far is a mere bagatelle compared j with what will follow. As a matter of fact, there is but i one race worthy of ruling the world, j and which has already attained the highest degree of civilization. That race is ours, the Prussians: for / though we Germans in general are the lords of the world, the Prussian is undoubtedly the lord par excellence among the Germans. All other j nations, and among them, unfortu- ; nately the Swiss, are degenerate and j , of inferior worth. That is why I j have always been so proud of being a :, true Prussian. Yesterday, again our pastor ex- j plained to us convinvingly that our first parents, Adam and Eve, were also Prussian. That is quite easy to understand, because the Bible tells us that the German God created us all after his own image. If, then, all men are descended from Adam and his wife it follows that only Prussians, or at least Germans, ought to exist in the world, and that all who push on and prosper ought to belong to us. You must admit that that is logic, and that is why our motto is, "God with us, Germany 0 above everything." You know now why we wished n-or T* ic nr?t ehamofnl thnf other nations, who have no right to > existence on the earth, wish to diminish our heritage. We are the di> vine fruit, and the others are only k weeds. That is why our great emperor has decided to put an end to all these injustices and to extirpate the weeds. Do you understand that . now? I remain your school friend, KATIE HAMEL, Daughter ^of the State Councilor of Architecture.' "Come Back at Two O'Clock." A _ reporter put this Question to Judge Hylan: "Will you run oil a ticket with* a < pro-German? liefer to Representa-j tive Henry Bruckner, candidate of j your party for Borough President in j The Bronx. While in Congress he voted against tabling the McLemore resolution." To this Judge Hylan replied as follows: "I'll answer that question. Come back at 2 o'clock and I'll have it ready for you." This, perhaps, is a sign of the judicial temperament. There must be deliberation,. perhaps consultation. How woultf the author of "Murphy on Contracts" answer such a question.?-' What precedents are to be ^fighnd in the work of Prof. McCooey? * Can anyone imagine a reporter asking John Purroy Mitchel a question like that and being told to "come back at 2 o'clock?" Not unless it was then 1.59%. Record for Xamesakes. Showing an unusal burst of speed, the statisticians at Washington have issued a report to the effect that the number of babies named after Congresswoman Jeanetta Rankin ha& passed the 200 mark. This State has reported six infant Jeanettes. From present indications. Miss Rankin will establish a new record in congress for namesakes. But prior to her election it was not possible to name a girl baby after father's congressman ? Oakland (Mo.) Tribune. Almost automatic in its operations is a new cabinet for quickly developing X-Ray photographs for dentists' use. v .NOT TO GO I'XTIL 1918. Pershing Says 1' S. Must Have Patience.?Much to lie Done Vet. Paris, Sept. 1.? Major Gen. Pershing, who has remained in Paris clearing up the work at his old headquarters and who is not going to field ? headquarters until Sunday or Monday, declared today in connection with the plans for the coming winter that the American people must learn the meaning and value of patience and not expect that the expedition ^ forces landed in France can be rush- ^ ed immediately to front line trenches. ^ ? 5-. ; rr. ?: . ' TO pui an inadequate, ni^uiueieuu- | ly supplied force into actual combat, j he said, would merely be making a 1 mistake, which the Germans unquestionably have hoped and expected the c United States would make. It is the | intention, rather, that when America ? does take her plate in the line, shoul- J tier to shoulder with the other Allies 1 next year, she will be fully prepared < to go through the summer campaign and make the Germans feel the full I weight of her military power. 1 Immense Ta*k. j "While those of us who have fully * studied the situation and who know what is necessary to be done," said Gen. Pershing to the Associated Press, "are anxious that the people at home strive to realize the immensity of the task in which we are engaged and shall have patience and help us accomplish that aim in the shortest possible time. "We came into the war without an army. So now we must build it so big and so strong that we can take our place along with our Allies, who already have had three years time and experience. Hard to " Udner stand. "I realize how very difficult it is for the people at home to understand the war. to understand the effort that lies behind the war. Our problems are greater than any that France or Great Britain had to solve, but we are solving them and will continue to so. "It is impossible to create a vast fighting machine merely by the wave of a wand. I wish that it were possible to do so and that we might be fighting the German Government this minute. We know that the only way to defeat the German army is to hammer it and keep on hammering it, That is what we expect to be doing with all our fresh strength and enthusiasm during next year's campaign." BUILT LIKE A WATCH. Cost of Airplane Engine Alone Not Much Less Than $3,000. A fast airplane, and especially an airplane engine, bears something of the regulation to a motor car that the finest Elgin or Waltham movement does to an Ingersoll or Waterbury watch. The engine of your motor car weighs from 500 to 1,200 pounds, or more. It will average from 20 to 30 horse power at the low?< .* T Vi /-v att oirnlon a onor^n Ac run I COl. i uc liu? an ^ugiugo x uii less than three pounds per horse power and the finest of them two pounds or less. Airplanes have been built with air-cooled engines for short distance fast scouting whose engines weigh less than a pound and threequarters per horse power. They must be quite literally, as an old advertisement used to say, "built like a watch." I suppose that the Ford engine does not cost in quantity very much over $50. That is about 22 rated horse power. At present a high powered airplane engine of the best type ?say 120 to 150 horse power?can not be purchased for much less than = $3,000. And the whole airplane, a big one, may readily cost $10,000 to $20,000. You can readily see why the construction of only 15,000 airplanes, as in England's program, would easily -equal, for a total expenditure for men and camps and hangars and repairs and wastage, more than a half billion dollars. A fast modern airplane has an average life of only about two to three hundred hours of active service?say two months at the outside. This means that to keep 10,000 airplanes on a battle line you have to be able to build 5,000 per month or more. The cost would be almost unthinkable. That is why warfare in the air for any length of time would bankrupt the world. And that, in turn, is why warfare in the air means the end of all warfare. Her Cordial Wish.
