which it urges the cooperation OF
the Queen of the Netherlands and
President Woodrow Wilson of TIE
united States in using the ''psychol-
ogical moment to offer mediation by
the two neutral nations.
since in three and half months
the peoples of Europe and Asia have
original issues now have been forgot
tCn," says the editorial, future ideal
results are impossible. The war is
fast degeneratlng in purposeless
conflict calling upon all the worst pas
slons of all the nations.
Winter is approaching and the
misery everywhere is incredible. The
number of dead on the battlefelds is
being increased by numbers of inno-
cent people VINO are perishing from
illness and starvation. Has not the
moment come to save what can be
saved?
Two countries are plainly indicat-
ed as the ones which should make
the first attempt. They are the King
dom of the Netherlands and the
United States-the Netherlands be-
cause this country, without enemies
for centuries, has been the center of
the development of international law !;
the United States because, through
its geographical situation and univer-
sally appreciated sentiments and
principles, its much honored presi-
dent can offer his services without
arousing suspicious on the part of
any Of the warning nations.
