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

.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.

Martin's Liver Medicine is not only
pleasant in its action, but pleasant to

_ You ought to have a bottle of Martin's

it when you feel headachy or billions
will stave off a spell of sickness.
