Keeps the Family Together
From an economic point o view man is a
money making machine. He is a provider.
While life insurance can not remove any of the
sorrow or heartache of the living for the dead,
yet it does continue, in a measure, the econ
omic worth of the breadwinner, thereby often
preventing poverty. It does far more. It pro
vides many of tho needed comforts of life, keeps
tho family together, educates the children and
prepares them for better and higher citizen
ship. There is a very human side to life insurance.
Nothing can tako its place. All of the stand

.i. ix. ii in -wiilnh tho United
States of America has thrown itself
into this great struggle is a spirit of
idealism, not in the senso in which
idealism evaporates in eloquent
phrases and empty formulae, but in
that spirit in which idealism recog
nizes that to bring his ideals to frui
tion one must make efforts and show
those great sacrifices which are now
being so surely demonstrated by our
friends and brothers across the At
lantic." That mission, he proceeded, rep
resenting as it did the activities of
the United States in so many ainer
ent spheres and characterisitics, had
arrived at Britain's shores at a mo
ment of interest. It was a moment
of special interest, not chiefly because
of the great, anxious struggle now
going on, but because the Allies had
revealed to them in plain, unmtstaK
ablo characteristics both the political
and military plans of those who con
trolled the destinies of Germany.
"We have been the witnesses dur
ing the last year or year and a half,"
he said, "of strange tergiversation
on the part of those who wished to
delude either the German, neutral,
or, it might be, even the allied pub
lic with regard to German intentions
and methods.
"There was a moment before the
facile success which Germany ob
tained against an unresisting enemy,
an enemy in the east, when German
statesmen and German members of
parliament discussed public affairs,
which would lead one to suppose
that Germany was in a high way to
democratic institutions and to heart
felt adoption of the four principles
which President Wilson has made
famous, throughout the world.
Events in the east gave them a facile
success over the talkers in Russia,
and the whole aspect of politics and
public opinion among the central
powers has entirely changed.
"They now almost cynically admit
max. tne resolution of the reichstag,
of which we have heard so much, all
the talk of no annexations and in
demnities, of considering the wishes
of subject populations, of spreading
tuc in inclines oi security and free
dom throughout the world, was what
we sometimes call camouflage."
All that was now thrust nnidn nQ
man methods were actually being car
ried out before the eyes of all in the
case of Rumania, and in other com
munities bordering on the eastern
frontier of Germany. In moments of
adversity, Germany used fine lan
guage, which she had been taught
indeed, by the statesmen of the allied

Wilson, but whifrti nho lm in,wi

at all. That was ono nf th r.i,o

revelation of the German military
plans. J

aside and a new one comes in. They
explain that all these attacks upon
the constitution of Germany, all this
talk about Germany not being a land
of freedom, with the representative
institutions of democracy as we in the
west understand them, are quite true
But then they say:
" 'A democratic government would
never have given you an empire such
as the military authorities and the
headquarters staff. We are the
military authority. We are the
true upholders of tho Prussian ideals.
Look at what we are giving von Wo
are going to give you domination
over the whole of Europe. You have
practically control over the inde
pendent states aU along our eastern
border. We are going to give you a
free pathway to the illimitable
riches of the east. We are
going to turn France into a second
rate power. Britain is to follow.
America is to follow Britain, and
Germany is to be the colossus which
bestrides the world, without a rival
and hardly without a critic.
"All. that they say to their in
ternational socialists, 'all that is
given you- by the blessings of the
German constitution, by the tradition
of the military party, by the steady
insistence and determination of the
governing powers in Prussia.
11 'And in the Prussianized Ger
many there is a steady determina
tion to prove to the world that force
is the way, and the only way, to ob
tian success. They preach that doc
trine and practice that doctrine to
show that in the case oi! Germany it
is successful."
People's Predajtojry Instinct.
For some reasons, which he was
quite unable to explain, there was
apparently in the ordinary German,
who might call himself a socialist,
international socialist, or whatever
he pleased, deep down in his nature
a predatory instinct, so that when
success appeared to crown his efforts
he was like a wild beast falling upoa
his helpless prey,
It was quite clear from the events
now going on in the west that the
object of the Germans was to over
come one fraction of the rorces or
posed to them in the belief that if
those forces were knocked out the
others must give in and a German
peace must be the result. It was
for this -reason that they had con-
