SELECTING A NAME

II seems as IL the terrible storm
which is now raging in Europe. the
conflict which has broken out in
this. what is called the age of civ
i,jzation" will be branded by histor-
ians as one of the cruelcst wars
within the memory of the human
race. From the wars which date
back 5000 years, those fought under
the Assyrian conqueror Tiglath-Pile
ger. those under Darius, Alexander
the Great, Hannibal, Charlemagne,
Napoleon, none of them compare
with the barbarous acts committed
during the present war, Not that
all the wild tales of butchery which
come from the front are to be be-
lieyed. but some of the reports OF
vandalism come from authoritative
sources and indicate that the Euro
pean war will ever be remembered
for the unbelievable and unpardon-
able acts which are known TO have
been committed.
Now comes the news that Red
Cross officers were fired upon by
Belgian civilians, to cap the climax.
War, when applied to the present
European holocaust is msnomer.
il is too gentle, too refined IA appel
lation. Butchery would be more ap-
propriate, but would not include the
reprehensible killing of non-combat-
ants or the firing upon the Red
Cross. Some name which would in
clude the Stygian character of TIL i
conflict would be more fitting. "Thn
Wicked War" "The Devils Revel.
or "Purgatory Up-to-D Date" might all
be applied and probably would bet
ter typify the character of the struS-
gle than anything which has YET
been applied to it.
The deeds of the old Teutonic ma
ton of the Nandais are again teiLe
committed, minus the pillage Bu'
shameful acts such as the burning 0
Louvain and the destruction of tn
cathedral at Rheims would pale int
insignifcance any similar act ac
credited to the Vandals because TIL
is an age OF civilization"
The Htterance of this word viii
become a mockery If such shameful
acts continue; it will brand tE'
European nations as hypocrites; /
they at least wish to preserve an,
reputation which they may have fo
truthfulness. they will be compelle'
to erase this word from the die
tionary or change its meaning.
