The Growing Demand for Peace.

"HERE has been no furors about it, and few
spectacular events have marked its progress
= but the whole Nation is now waking up to
the fact that about the most striking advances of
civilization these last ten years has been in the
changed attitude toward war-the widespread and
as well as differences between individuals should
be settled by courts in the name OF Right and not
by armies in the name of Might. AS Editor Henry
Wallace says:
Sooner or later the common of the
plain people the world over who furnish the
bulk of the money to build these ships, and
who furnish the men to man them, and who
have to feed these men and the boys to be
killed. and furnish the pensions for the wild
ows and crippes, will assert itself. There is
absolutely no necessity for these war-like
preparations that are going all over the
world, when nobody wants to fight and there
is, in fact, nothing to fight about. The whole
difficulty might be avoided by simple agree
ment among the great Nations of the world
to limit ornaments"
This is the sentiment which Congress is be-
ginning to recognize as the dominant sentiment of
the American people. We do not want the Nation
left unprotected, but do want some definite
dead-earnest efforts to establish an International
court or ArDltratlon with power to enforce it's
Judgements Because it has been easy to vote
enormous naval and military appropriations Con-
gress has voted them year after year. until now
the Nation staggers under the burden Now tho
Nation calls for constructive efforts in behalf of
peace.
For one thing it is coming to be seen that war
does not bring out the noblest qualities in men
that 1t is not needed to bring out the virtues of
nerolsm ana sacrifice, but that it is rather as
Andrew Carnegie said in a recent address:
ION the field of carnage men lose all I'm
man instincts in the struggle to protect them
selves The true heroism inspired by moral
courage prompts firemen policemen, sailors
miners, and others to volunteer and risk tbejr
lives to save the lives Of their felow-men
Such heroism is now of everyday Occurrence"
Upon this point we are reminded Of what

A Thought for the Christmas Tide.

~ EARTH peace, goodwill towards mem
this the song the shepherds heard
as they watched their aocks on the Judean
hills that first Christmas night nineteen hundred
year, ago; and this is the message we would have
this Christmas bring to every reader Of ours. For
the season is really meaningless to us if we do
make it time of gladness, of thoughtfulness for
others, of goodwill toward all men. Prince of
Peace was He whose birth we shall celebrate to-
morrow and just far strife and ill-feeling
prevail in our lives and hearts, just SO far have
we made the message He brought of avail
to us.
Whatever of false and foolish may have grown
up in celebration of Christmas, the glad fact
remains that we have made it festival of good
will, time when we show our kindly feeling to-
ward our felow-men and our love to the little
children. whose particular festival it is And
since it is the season of all others when peace
should reign between Nations and in the hearts of
men, we wish to call attention for just a moment
to two ways in which every one of us can help
bring about the fulfllment of the angels song
The article Immediately following this-written
by Mr.. Poe before his departure for the Orient
gives the hopeful side of the worlds progress to-
ward an International Court of Justice instead of
the mad arbitrament of the battlefield, as a meth
cd of settling disputes between Nations. 1t be
admitted, however, that while the wsest and clear
est thinkers agree in condemning the folly and
futility of war, the Governments of the world go
on as If there were likelihood that any day
might bring with it 1.-The thunder of the captains
and the shouting" In the same days news We
were told that Andrew Carnegie had given $1O-
100000 to promote international peace and that
it had just been discovered by the War Depart
ment and few eagle-eyed Congressman that
there only three thousand soldiers on our
Pacific Coast, SO that a hostile army could sweep
almost unopposed over the whole of that great
section. That there is army to do this within
10000 miles does not matter; the danger is there

Nathaniel and his wound troubled him
again. As the pain and his terrible
thoughts Of Marion's fate returned to
him he regretted that they had not
ended it all in one last fight at the
door. There, at least, they might have
died like men instead of waiting to be
shot down like dogs, their hands
bound behind them, their breasts
naked to the Mormon rifles. He did
not fear death. In more than one
game he had played against its hand,
moro often for love of the sport than
not, but there was a horror In being
penned up and tortured by it. He had
como to look upon it as a fair enemy.
filled, of course, with subterfuge and
treachery, which were the laws of the
game; but he had never dreamed Of it
as anything but merciful in its quick
ness. 1t was as If his adversary had
broken an inviolable pact with him
and he sweated and tossed on his bed
on the bench against the dungeon
wall. Sheer exhaustion brought him
relief, and after time he fell asleep.
He was awakened by Neil. The
white face of Marion's brother was
over him when he opened his eyes and
he was shaking him roughly by the
shoulder.
Wake up, Natl" he cried. For
heavens sake-wake up!"
He drew back as Nathaniel sleepily
reused himself.

silence. Come-smoke up! got some
tobacco from our jailer and he loaned

fresh candle was burning on the table
and in its light he saw that startling
change had come into Neils face dur
ing the hours he had slept. 1t looked
to him thinner and winter, its lines
had deepened, and the young mans
eyes were filled with gloomy dejec-
ton.

"And no word-from-"
NO"
The two men looked deeply into
each others eyes.
"Jeekum delivered my note to her
at noon when he was relieved" said
Neil. "He did not carry 1t personally,
but swears that he saw her receive it.
He sent her word that he would call
at certain place for reply when he
was relieved again at five. There was
no reply for him-not a word from
Winnsome.'
Their silence was painful 1t was
Nathaniel who spoke first, hesitating

MAIDEN AUNTs RULE FAMILY
Peculiar Custom That Prevails Among

In at least one portion Of the world

scheme Of family organization. That
is In the Banks islands, part of the
Melanesian islands in the South seas.
where the natives hold her in unusual
esteem and give her an exalted posi-
ton.
| Among the Inhabitants Of the Banks
Islands the fathers sister must never
be addressed by her own name by
her nephew or niece. but by some spe-
cial title Of respect adopted by her.
"A visitor to the islands tells OF an In
stance In which woman had been re-

respect had been withheld. The
mother might be spoken to strongly.
emphatically. with assurance; but a
man would never even take the fnttia-
tive In addressing his maternal aunt,
!, but would always wait until he had
hrSt been spoken to. 1t was her
junction to choose the mans wife. and
to very considerable extent com.
munity of goods prevailed between
aunt and nephew.
In these islands there Is also a
unique method of determining the par
entage OF child. 1t is determined
ceremcnially by the act of payment to
the woman selected to look after the
mother. This woNan is selected by
the fathers sister. In the ordinary
course. the actual father pays the
money, but If another Is more anxious
than himself to own the child he may
be torestalled in this payment, and
lose his right to his own child. The

"You don't believe"
mo. Lord, man, do you suppose
that Strang is going to let me live to

Somebody was fumbling with the
chain at the dungeon door.
The two men stared as it opened
slowly and Jeekum appeared. The
jailer was highly excited.

whispered hoarsely. Quick! Is it

Nathaniel dug the gold pieces out
of his pockets and dropped them into
the jailer's outstretched hand.

"You are sure that Marion would
kill herself as soon as she became the
wife Of Strang?" he asked.
"Yes-before his vile hands touched

shouted Neil.
Then Marion is dead" replied Ma

talking to the walls about him. For
last night Marion was forced into the
harem of the king"
AS he revealed the secret whose
torture he meant to keep imprisoned
In his own breast he dropped upon the
pallet of straw and buried his face
between his arms, cursing himself
that he had weakened in these last
hours of their comradeship.
He dared not look to see the effect
of his words on Neil. His companion
uttered no sound Instead there was
q silence that was terrifying.
At the end of it Neil spoke in a
voice SO strangely calm that Nathaniel
sat up and stared at him through the
gloom.
