The MiTItarr Peril.


SOUTH OMAHA. Sept ITO the Editor
Of The Bee: For number OF years we
have read In the papers Of the yellow
PERIL but It seems 20 me the real peril
TO the world today is the military peril
When great nation like Germany will
work for many years to prepare for war
and spend immense sums OF money earned
by the people. when an effort is made
TO prepare more dangerous weapons OF
war continually. when Improvements are
made in air machines to make them
dangerous engines Of war. when men are
drilled by the millions in the art OF war
by compulsion as is done in Germany. II
looks TO me as II the peril to all the
nations OF the earth Is that coming from
nation that constantly prepares for
war, and prepares so we'll. that there is
not single nation that can defeat the
German army in war. The Germans are
great people and rank foremost In the
world In all lines OF life and for that
reason they are the more dangerous to
every nation Of the earth.
II is a calamity to the whole world
that the millions of German soldiers have
not been taught how TO advance the peace
full work Of the nations OF the earth and
u
rather than TO be taught how best to kin
men, how to destroy property and cities
and monuments that have stood for
hundreds Of years. II looks to me as
" the republican institutions Of the earth
are at stake in the mighty war now
on in Europe. The German army was
started for France as soon as was was
declared and as that is the greatest re-
public on earth next to our own, It looks
as II the emperor OF Germany does not
want any great republic next door to his
realm.
IL In not the defeat Of Germany that
people should want. but the defeat OF
militarism and the only way to end mill
tarsm is TO defeat the army that is now
sweeping all before II in the republic
OF France. have heard German citizens
say in the last few weeks that they
would rather live under an emperor than
president, and when we have such
people among us, we may we'll tremble
for the safety of republics. Germany
ought TO end tho war at once, as she
could do. and try to rebuild the destruc-
ton she has wrought already on so many
helpless people. r. A. AGNEW.

But while the nations engaged in this internecine
struggle will be and must justly be held responsible
for the endless and needless disaster incurred the
people themselves OF the several nations can hardly
be held unAccountable
The war is indeed convincing and distressing proof
that the veneer OF civilization lies but thnly upon
all so called civilized beings that civilization herself
sits but insecurity upon her throne liable at any
time to rude displacement by original savagry
Yet the people themselves, under strictly modern
forms of government. would probably never have
become involved in this war.
The war is attributable to the survival in Europe
OF medieval institutions long outgrown by modern
society, to the prosecution Of imperial policies in the
selfish interest OF greedy hereditary dynasties
1t is a war Of the Middle Ages, caused by those
conditions OF the Middle Ages monarchic and arsto-
cratic which still persists in Europe, which. as
long as they persist will repress popular development
and dominate popular sentiment

No country points with pride to a citizen who
