Weather from Mt Higby ends noon with maximum five and minimum seventy three, barometer twenty five feet three inches, wind calm and clear skies. Disjointed wartime musings touch General Foch, conscription debates, Krupp iron works, torpedo plans, and political life of Governor Whitman amid discussions of telegraph control and rate reductions.
A reflective editorial fragment questions Theodore Roosevelt's ability to govern New York after national leadership, noting mixed prospects for public service at different levels. It argues some leaders thrive in top roles but may falter returning to smaller communities, while praising or critiquing agriculture and dairy industry figures as illustrative contrasts. The piece hints at shifts in political fortunes and the volatility of leadership from high office to local work.

The article accuses German socialists of treachery for backing the Kaiser’s expansion and Japan’s and Finland’s subjugation, arguing their betrayal aided imperialism. It condemns Scheidemann and Bebel, notes Bolshevik Sirola’s shifting stance, and warns that only Allied victory can permit real socialism or democracy to survive, with calls for a powerless-or-free Germany and acceptance of past misdeeds.
The New York Globe analyzes Maximilian Harden, noting his freedom of speech in Germany and the contrast with Liebknecht’s silence. It explains why Harden remains tolerated abroad while his ideas provoke little reaction at home, and how his rhetoric serves foreign propaganda without breaking German morale.
