this sort of writing should be stopped.

signed by Harrington etc.
Now. while frankly admit being
Teuton sympathizer. think that
France should have fair play. too. and
calling her the harlot of nations is a
bit of mire throwing that Is entirely
uncalled for. The stand that reason
ably can be taken is that France IS
wrong in going TO war IN this par
ticular case simply to avenge her bit
ter defeats i'm 1870. but why call her
names for that? France is wonder
ful country. and her peasant stock
among The best and most patriotic IN
the world. She, too, can show hey
wonderful progress IN the civilized
arts and sciences, and just because
novclsts have painted her Paris as
city Of harlots does not mean that she

and science.

Realism VS.. Fiction in Time of War.

About the most striking point I'm all the con
temporary accounts Of Europes going 10 war is
the calmness displayed American tourists tell u
the sober faces alike i'm Paris, Berlin and London
Demonstrations there were. National anthems were
sung and played. As the newspapers Of the day
make clear there was no hanging back 40 lack of
national resolve. Yet there was complete alb
sence of the shouting cheering war fever which
Is popularity supposed 10 initiate the letting Of
human blood.
Partly this can be aScribed to genuine horror
Of war. to "A realization Of lis consequences aud
TO the decp-seated desire for peace which has
grown with the years in every civilized nation

town as Paris the eve OF war must be laid H.
