War Preferable to
Damage to tine Soul

Berln.-ln a controversy for and against war; the
Catholic pastor Christallor, in Hohenstaugen puts
himself on record as follows:
'When we consider the teachings OF Jesus Christ
we must ask ourselves: What is worse, hundred
young men bleeding on the battlefield or one with
a damaged souli The hundred young men would
have to die anyhow sooner later, but what about
the man going to pcrdition'
ut is In times of peace that morals become lax
and sin allpowerul because live in idleness and
weakness"
Even the war.lordpapers protest vigorously
against the statement, and the pastor Is reminded
that modern batteRelds are not strcwn with hun
dred but with ten thousands and hundred thousands
OF men, also that priests do not go to war.

illustrates the pitch of public opinion:

whether it was calmly to shoot to death Shiny
thief or to hand water to helpless child the soldier
did his task without emotion and without halt. He
kept his head and worked all day and all night with
out rest And yet it was not his home or his city
that he was aiding Though called upon to perform
an unlocked for, sudden and unexampled duty, the
regular did it with stole horoughness that left moth

Officers and men alike showed their high train

became the staff upon which helpless and unhoused
multitude leaned with utmost confidence. In

their regular soldiers than in America. This conf

The railway rate bill is still dragging in the Sen

will be done to reduce the awful mortality among

homeless thing, has set out to make a record not
merely in that Od-fashioned forensic statesmanship
we are hearing so much about, but also in the fer
tity and ingenuity it shows in devising amendments
for the bill. Thus far the eighty-nine members OF
the Senate have produced ffty.eight varieties of
amendments The leaders of the Senate have to
carry vest pocket diagrams so that they can keep
from losing their way.
"These amendments can be roughly grouped in
three classes.
"First are those we hear the most about, which
aim in less direct to defeat the pur.
pose Of the bill by transferring the real decision on
rates to the Federal courts leaving to the Interstate
Commerce Commission little more than doormat
functions.

impossible the passage Of any bill.
FINALLY come the amendments, OF which Sen
ator Longs is chief, which, while explicit on the
question of court review, hold strictly and firmly to
the spirit of the original Hepburn bill.
"The only thing that is worrying the safe and
sane element in the Senate now is the problem
to whether the power to introduce amendments is
equivalent to the power to amend. II none OF the
ffty-eight varieties be adopted except the Long
amendment which, il the truth must be told is more

This organization sympathizes with Socialism in

Russia: The Russian army and navy-what

with regard to anti.mtarism as the Germans, "only

become history That the revolutionsts are opposed

given public notice that they will neither fight

the Kaiser. AT Milan and Naples the leading So

Francis Joseph experiences no lesser difficulties than
Kaiser William. He hardly knows whether he is still

ANTIMILITARISTS' MANIFESTO.
The "Young Guards" that is the Belgium anti
mtarists' organization, publishes the following
manifesto:
"The workmen of Belgium, like the workmen of

of all the people and maintain the security of the

London.-King Edward and the Government hear
NOT without quiet satisfaction that the anmlitarst
movement is gaining strength in all continental coun.
tries. This MEANS in the end general disarmament,
say the agltators. 1t may mean civil war; grow the
Kaiser and the various minor war lords.
King Edward opines that the European Powers
may De oDged sooner or later, to adopt the English
system, e. shelve universal service and substitute
an army of hireings like Great Britain and the
United States, their number fixed in accordance with
the demands of the security of the realm and its pos
sessions.
England prOspered enormously under such sys.
tenn for 225 years and more, since the Bill of
Rights went into effect.
Because the British King is not a war lord in
the continental sense, many of his colleagues re.
garded him as military jest but now it looks as if
wardrobes might be in the same gunboat with ed.
ward ere q few more years roll by. The situation,
as summarized by Government agents, is as follows
MILITARY GREAT POWERS.
France AS the recent anti-militarist trials
prove, the movement for evadng military service by
refusal to enter the army, and for evading military
duty by refusal to help put down strikes and enforce
civil law is spreading among the workmen of all the
big cities Worse still the country population is be-
coming more and more sOcialized. The anti-mtary
spirit, therefore, is bound to affect the and
classes from which the best French soldiers are
cruited. The Government showed by the heavy SEN
fences imposed that it is afraid which circumstance
helps the anti-miltarist agitation.
Germany: The sociazing of the army and
peasantry is an acknowledged fact. The Government
press is just now discussing the question whether
in the event of mobilization, the great of indus
trial workers would refuse service. AS preventive
most dracOnc sentences imposed for the slightest
breaches of military discipline, while the Kaiser and
the military authorities, at the same time wink at
brutalities inflicted soldiers by officers and sub
officers though it is openly asserted that these bru
talites direCtV respOnsibe the social
izing.
The Socalistic party so far has taken no official
action regarding the antmilitarst movement except
to express sympathy with its principles, particularly
