which remained In the hands of the
enemy north of Souchez and half way
between Souchez and Neuville has
come to an end. During the night the

Special Vnrretpanience to Tim Sex.
1'Ants, May 28. Of the many Inter
esting Interpretations hb to the causes
of the great war In Europe possibly
none Is more Interesting than that of
I'rof. rierro Marcetlln Houle, one of the
most famous paleontologists of the
world. He holds the chair of paleon
tology In the National Academy of
Natural History nnd hns won lnnumer
nhle honors. This noted French profes
sor dug from the depths In Wyoming
a skeleton of the huge dlplodocus, tho
reptile that perished In other ages be
cause of the madness due to gigantism
that overleaped Its environment.
Seven ears ago Andrew Carnegie had
a cast made of the eighty-eight foot
dlplodocus In the I'lttsburg museum, the
monster discovered In Sheep Creek, Al
bany county, Wyoming, and sent thla
cast to I'rof, Houle. It furnished a text
for an explanation of an Interesting
phenomenon of the war.
I'rof. Houle has evolved a theory that
hns set learned Europe talking. He de
clares that the whole German people Is
sick, that It went to war bocause of
this sickness, a sickness comparable to
that which caused the disappearance of
the overeftlclent, giant reptile.
Charles de la Ronclerc, the famous
historian of the French navy, who writes
frequently on the work of the French
In America, told me how deeply In
terested was the scientific world In Prof.
Route's explanation of the German men
tallty. He Mid everybody felt the Ger
mans were mad, but so far nobody had
been able to advance a proper explana
tion of th lu phenomenon.
Cfiuses nf the War.
I found I'rof, noule at his laboratory
table, and asked him to expound hli
theory of what the French call the
furor Teutonlcus, the German madness.
A square built, heavy set athletic man
of frank, determined mien, with noth
ing 'of the 1 know more than yoi do
air which characterizes so many pro
fessors, he might easily have passed for
an Ungllshman of business.
"Yes," he said energetically, "It Is
quite true that I seriously maintain the
Germans are suffering with the same
disease that removed from the earth
in past nges certain gigantic species. I
consider tho Germans not a people, but
a conglomeration of little races that (ire
all Blck from the same madness. They
have all had the same specialized ort
of education, or rather mlseducatlon,
and therefore all their minds are poi
soned alike. Ot course tho Kaiser Is
mad, but he Is not th only madman
nmong them.
"In the beginning I blamed the Kaiser
alone. Later I blamed the Pope nnd I
blamed your President Wilson, the one
for not speaking us from God, the other
as the ropresentatle of a neutral, civ
ilized people both for not admonishing
the Germans against acts of barbarism.
And as much as I blamed these, I ap
plauded your Col. Roosevelt for de
nouncing these hideous acts. These were
the only persons In the world who could
have spoken, and but dne of them did
his duty to humanity.
"Then one day while walking out
there In the gallery of the musuem
where the dlplodocus Is mounted, It
came to me that the Germans were
merely mad animals, that no word on
earth could have checked them, that
they had had a retrogression, a rever
sion of type, JUBt as this animal had In
Its own time. It became overspcclallzed.
obsessed with Its own power, its normal
functions had to pay for Its special
ones and In the end It disappeared from
the face of the earth.
.Not w In Anlmul or Haitian
History.
"This explanation of a phenomenon
which I am applying to the Germans Is
not new In history. Udward Qulnet In
hLs work 'Creation1 has pointed out
numerous examples of the wme truth.
The old Roman had a saying: "Quern
deus vult perdere, prlus dementat.' Too
much power, madness for aggrandize
ment, destroyed the Greeks, as It later
destroyed the Ronnus, as It Is to-day
destroying the Germans.
"In reflecting on these facts I realized
that this war had carried us back to the
time of the thieving, women murdering
Pharaohs, that It was for the Germans
a colossal looting enterprise.
"At tlrst these acts were laid at the
door of the Prussian Imperial and mili
tary system. Hut there arc many men
In Germany of cultivated tastes, artists,
savants, writers, men of thought and of
science, cirtalnly enough good people to
understand and rovolt at this kind uf
warfare. Unhappily, scarcely a voice
among them has been raised against
the war of piracy and of assassination
of the Innocent, the burning of libraries,
the shelling of churches. On the con
trary we have the phenomenon of these
men preaching the doctrine that war and
'Kultur' arc one, Thetefore we must
blame the whole people.

In the Gulf of llnlhnla, according to a
despatch from Stockholm,
I practice and your thought. While you
I seem totally occupied In rnlslng colossal
I structures like the Germans, In doing
business at any cost, this Is but a sur
face view. You are really lovers of
truth, of the Ideal, and I feel that you
are with us at heart In this war. Rut It
took the sinking of the Lusltnnla to
prove to you how mad the Germans
are.
Ornnnlsntlnn Germ of Marines.
"Rut I would like ,to show that this
Immoral spectacle presented by German
madness, repugnant ns It Is, Is really
not so discouraging In the eyes of the
naturalist as It would at first seem, for
It carries with It hope for the final
triumph of liberty and right.
'This phenomenon of regression thus
expressed In the German race belongs
as much to the domain ot natural as of
human history. It Is easy to account
for it by the laws of biology. The
changes by which groups of beings be
come different from their neighbors
must not pass a certain limit: must
not unsettle the general equilibrium
essential to the vitality and endurance
of the whole organism.
"It must be recognized that the evo
lution which generated tho famous
'Kultur' has produced powerful results
and fairly earned great prestige. Rut
mark. Its principal characterise Is
that It has always let Itself be dom
inated by a regard for 'organization.'
of which I'rof. Ostwald Is so proud
that he would like to make other coun
tries profit by It, even through force.
"Hut It Is none the less certain that
we must here remark an abnormal
growth of the power of the German In
tellect, employed almost exclusively to
forge Instruments of domination and of
oppression as regards other peoples,
that this abnormal growth has been ac
companied by a corresponding atrophy,
or withering of the more natural forms
of the Intellect. The exaggeration of
the practical and the useful has re
called In the almost total annihilation of
other and more noble habits of the mind.
The go-xl has been sacrificed for the
practical, and It Is only the disinterested
cultivation of science that leads to
truth, and this leads to a strong con
ception of right, this to a love of Justice,
to the feeling of moral beauty, to all
that responds to our aspirations toward
the Ideal.
"Therefore I say that the evolution
of the Germans presents Itself under
two aspects: First, the progressive, so
far as concerns things material; sec
ond, retrogressive, so far as concerns
things moral and spiritual. This last
aspect corresponds to a reversion toward
the savagery of primitive peoples.
The nijcnntlr HcLneaa.
"The Germanic evolution has failed
because of lack of proportion. Hlology
teaches us that In making a new use
of old faculties or organisms, these lat
ter are placed In a condition of less re
slBtonce. A general weakness of the
whole body follows and particularly
leaves without defence to the destructlvn
elements ever alive In nature these or
ganisms put to new uses. So here must
be seen the signs which warn of death.
Nothing is truer In nature than that
gigantism Is a real disease, affecting
In their life sources not only Individuals
but races and species of the highest
order.
"Hy Its gigantic svstem of organi
zation, the German people have been
led to the love of the 'Kolossal.' to the
biggest ship, the .biggest gun, the big
gest man, the biggest army, and through
this to the megalomania which Is hut
another form of gigantism, and this
megalomania blinded this people even to
obliterating every sign of common sense
and drew It on to the pursuit of the
chimera of world empire.
"Life Is filled with examples of rapid
disappearances of beings fallen victim to
their gigantism, or of their exaggera
tion of the normal functions In some'
one direction.
"When they seem to have reached
the summit nf thtr nhv.ui ,i
succumb because of lack of equilibrium
In organs or faculties so that they are
umiiiif) io aaapi tnemseives to new cir
cumstances. "Such were the armored fish of early
ages, such the enormous amphibians
ot later nges, such, yet later, were the
gigantic reptiles of which this dlplo.
docus so kindly sent by Mr. Carnegie Is
the most popular example : such were
In the tertiary age the mastodons, the
dinotherium, the kings of the mammals.
"The German evolution has been
worked out rather In the sense of that
which kills than that which gives life.
The 'Kultur' resulting must perish, vic
tim of this Intensive organization, of
the gigantism of Its material force, of
the weakening of Its moral sense."
"Is It their madness or the German
people which must disappear? Do you
think there is any cure for them?" I
suggested.
"Yes, the German people can and will
be cured. It Is their 'Kultur' which must
go," answered Prof, Houle. "The peo
ple must be politically ledlvlded Into
the little, natural groups of half a cen
tury ago. Then, they must be reedu
cated. This Is the only hope for them
or for civilization."

are bringing up reenforcements In nn
attempt to stem the steady French ad
vance In this sector.
Tho night communique! was as follows!
In the region north of Arras the In

ceding communique lasted until night
fill. In every Instance our gains have
been maintained. The Any has been
marked hv nn Intermittent bombard-
I ment, which was of particular violence

On the heights of the Meuse, east of
the Calonne trench, the Germans de
livered an attack which was repulsed
except nt n p. Int where they pene
trated n length of trenches held by
two sections.
On the rest of the front there Is
nothing to record excepting artillery
actions.
The afternoon communique was as
follows :
Considering the front as a whole,
last night passed with relative quiet.
In the region to the north of Arras
there Is nothing to report, with the
exception of some Infantry engage
ments, accompanied by a lively can
nonading, between the Souchez sugar
refinery and the national highway be
tween Hethune nnd Arras.
Our progress has been checked by
the condition of the ground, which In
certain places has been rendered al
most Impassable by the recent storms.
On the Champagne front and In

Milan, May 30. The city of Milan Is
now under martial law and tho Govern
ment Is out for the heads of various re
sponsible ofllclals who allowed the riots
to go on practlcall'y without Interrup
tion by the civil power.
The Count Hadessono has been put
under arrest awaiting an Investigation.
Commander Ferrari has been put In as
questor In place of the former com
mander, who, of all tne crowd, was the
only one exonerated. Gen, Savelll has
succeeded as commander of the city In
the place of Gen. Bplngardl, formerly
Minister of War.
Although, there was little put In the
papers, the nffolr was really much worse
than was at first Imagined. There are
plenty of people who hint at numerous
deaths and savago murders by the
violent crowds. And now that there has
been time to Investigate all the destruc
tion, all the fires. It has been seen that
the damage Is Immense.
The second morning after the worst of
tfie dlsnlav I went around looking at
some of the handiwork, In such places

, doors had been torn off their hinges,

We hnd had two days of this quiet when
yesterday afternoon I saw a tremen
dous crowd surging up to the hotel,
evidently In pursuit of a charming
woman accompanied by two boys, one ln
the costume of the Italian nrvy, the
other of the artillery.
Orleans Prlnrrsn Cheered,
Sn walked Into the hotel composedly,
the crowd following after and block
ing the entrance, calling and yelling
and shouting, the cries all so Inter
mingled that I could nt distinguish
what It was they sn'.J. I was standing
Just In tht doorway looking at them,
thinking new riots were commencing,
when the woman turned toward them
and they let loose a new set of cries.
It Is almost Impossible to distinguish
between a furiously angry Italian and
an ectitactlcally enthusiastic, one, as far
as extravagant gestures and loud cries
go. and their burning eyes might Il
lustrate either emotion.
S'o It was with great sympathy that
I turned toward the woman who was
facing them and said smiling;
"Did they take you for an Austrian?
They followed me yesterday, toy, know
ing I was a stranger."
She stlfTene-1 a moment, then smiled
gently, nnd said :
"No, they know me. I fancy madams
does not understand what they are call
ing, because they are cheering me, or
rather my son" pointing to him "who
Is going to the front as a simple soldier
In the morning "
I bowed vaguely, for her words didn't
elucidate the matter at all, and then 1

?eom!' KoJ reason to believe the report
that another was destroyed on Its way
home, although I do not believe the re
port that one was brought down on the
east coast and that the men of Its crew
are now prisoners. The story, however,
has some credence.
It Is not believed In London that the
Zeppelins have stopped raiding. It Is
thought rather that the first big series
of general reconnaissance work has been
completed, an1 that In their own good
time, with tho knowledge accumulated
thereby, the Germans will start another
series.
It Is gcnernlly believed In London that
there Is no great desire, or rather no
great belief, In the policy of shooting nt
a Zeppelin when It Is over a thickly
populated district. The shrapnel or
other shells fired have little chance of
finding their mark at the great height
the Zeppelin keeps on these occasions,
nnd may cause loss of life when they re
turn to earth. One of the few persons
killed In one raid, a woman, was a
victim of a falling Kngllsh shell. A
man living In a suburb of London, on
the night of the chief raid, May 31, saw 1
that the top of the wall running round
his garden was elamnged and searched ,
about to find some relic of the German
bomb, llelng himself In the service he
lecognlzed that what he did find was
part of a shell tired from Shoehury ness.
Tho Kngllsh authorities believe that
the place In which to tackle tho Invad
ing Zeppelin Is Its own home. There
It must descend to get Into the hangar,
which Ik as necessary to a Zeppelin as
Its shell Is to a snail, and In so dolnir

The hotel owner told me afterward
that the Duchess was walking through

she was recognized by the crowd, who
followed her all the way to tho hotel.
She and her family are all Immensely

who Is only 17 years old, has received
permission from the King to go to the

herself.
During the last week the Piazza del

place ln the world. Imagine the set

gorgeous, lacy spired church, white and

on cither side the arcades filled witn
