INTERNATIONAL DEMOCRACY.

This is the worst war of history,
not because 1t involves such q fear
full loss of life. nor because 1t Is more
replete with horrors than any other
war. but because by it the fortunes of
every nation in the world are tre-
mendously affected, writes j. William
Hudson. in December Nautilus. War
can no longer be localized in it's eff
fects: nations are too inter-related in
commercial and cultural interests.
Disaster to any one nation or group
of nations means some measure OF
harm to all. Apart from its plain
moral obligations, Americans are
coming to see that. from the stand
point of obvious self-interest, it is the
mission Of America to do what it can
to see that permanent peace shall
come to Europe. and that as speedily
as just solution of its difficulties will
permit.
America has had a distinctive and
growing message to Europe for the
last hundred years. America was the
first great country to urge the settle
ment of international disputes by ar

Smiling is the easiest thing in tho

pitiful to listen to the story Of a per-

coaxed, and the fellow who knows
how to smile the real smile doesn't
have, very much trouble in coaxing
these things. The effect of just smil-

uShed- itself. AS Nancy grew older,
Arthur Davis was her constant COM
panion. He loved her before he had
ever heard of eugenics indeed, be-
fore anybody else had.
Then came the aVowal of love, and
all the village was shocked. There
had been a eugenics lecturer there
that summer, and he had painted in
Iurid words the awful consequences
of an inter-maTTiage between cousins.
And Arthur and Nancy, seated in the
second row from the front, felt their
hands relax and their hearts beat
slowly with horror.
Silently they went home. They
parted with averted faces. Next day
Nancy wrote her sweetheart an i'm
FASHIONED letter, saying that they
must never meet again. In any event,
she said, she could not marry, be-
cause, now that her father was dead,
and her mother growing old, she
must devote herself to the old wo-
mans comfort.

that her worthless husband would
not be likely to prove good father,
it had cost her many a tear. And
when she had come back from Idaho
with Nancy, and with Hiram, rich
and a reformed man, there was a GER

exasperated the gossips who had
formerly sneered at her.
