It is believed tnat the dynamite was placed in the coal by German spies. 10ND0N, Jan. 18. — “The funda mental evil oi Germany today is idol atry,M said Lord Robert Cecil in a statement lor the Associated Prest today. “They have set up for them selves a graven image, just as truly j as did the worshippers of Baal against I whom the prophets of the Bible preached. “Germany's idol is the state. They place the state above religion, above morality, above all laws of God or Man. They believe that any act is justified which advances the interests of the German State, however base that act may be, however, immoral, however inconsiderate of the lawful rights of others. “Otto Kahn, himself a German by origin, has defined this State-idolatry as ‘the demoniacal obsession of pow er-worship and world-dominion.’ “This idolatry is at the bottom of our whole light against Germany. *lt is the secret of the whole revolting list of outrages and atrocities which Germany has committed against the civilized world. The violation of Bel gium, the Armenian atrocities, the unspeakable horrors of submarine warfare,—all these are the outcome of a creed which holds that no laws of morality arc binding when the de fense of the state-idol is at stake. “The results of this violating of the i foundations of morality by Germany 1 are bound to be colossal and far reaching. They mean the degeneracy I of the whole German structure, and ! the effects are already seen in the | wave of crime and immorality which i is sweeping over Germany. So long i as the governing classes are infected . with this doctrine there is no limit to j the wickedness and cruelty which will be put into execution. It means the undermining ultimately of the whole ' fabric of their civilization. This is what President Wilson has foreseen. This is a reason for the determination of President Wilson and the leaders of the Allies on both sides of the wa ter to carry this war through, what ever the cost, in order that the world may he a fit world to live in. “The Lansdowne letter has been thought by some to indicate some weakening of determination on tht part of this country, some change ot attitude, I believe any such imp res- j sion is a profound delusion. I know j it is a delusion as far as the actual1 government of England is concerned, j and 1 believe that the British people' as a whole, including Lord Lansdowne himself, are more determined than ever to bring the war to a victorious! conclusion. “I see that it is being alleged with a certain degress of plausibility that there are many points in which Lord Lansdowne is in agreement with* President Wilson’s message. That* may be so. But in the case of the President's message there breathes through every line not only determin ation to win—for in that there is no difference between the two men—but also a certainty of victory. Presi-! dent Wilson’s message has an inspir ation of leadership which LansdowncV letter lacks.” ALASKANS ARE I DESERVING OF CHEAP FARES SEATTLE, Jan. 18. — Hardy pion- j cers who go to Alaska to develop its; iands should be given special induce-1 ments by the government, asserts! Professor C. C. G»*orgcson, who is in charge of the government’s agricul-1 tural experiment stations in the north ern territory. “They should by all means have reduced rates of trans portation.” he said while here recent ly, because it costs as much to take the necessary farm inland in Alaska as it does to purchase a small sized j faim in the states outside.” -xv-— - SOMEBODY HAS MONEY IN GERMANY TO SPEND FOR THE ART TREASURES' BERLIN, Jan. 18. —- Frenzied bid-! ding at recent art auctions here has^ prompted the Prussian chamber by unanimous vote to authorize the Gov ernment to enact a law pi*ohibiting or impeding the sale abroad of art objects or paintings of old masters now owned in Germany.
