To the Editor of TIE Times:
The writer was very much inter
ested In your editorial In regard to
the distribution OF the amount OF
apples that are going TO waste. and
which we all know could be used to
good advantage could they be gotten
to the people In the city who are IN

II Is q difficult problem to work out

Perhaps through your paper you could

who would be perfectly willing to
have people come right to their place
and pick up the apples. which other

ing some for themselves, they might
be induced at the same time TO bring
In few extra bags for public dis
tribution at some point stated by
your mayor. There are thousands OF
cars In the city Of Detroit that could
be used to good advantage In that
way on q Saturday afternoon. II
each person, who went out with a
machine would agree to bring In one
or two bags for public distribution

to do this. and you should receive

Opinions on the War

The real cause of the war Is false
philosophy Of national life. This phil
osophy II the mflitarist or barbaric
philosophy. II teaches that the foun-
dalton Of power Is physical force. and
that national greatness In measured
in terms Of military strength. The
creed OF the militarist mas three ar
ticles. First, war 10 q good thing. an
indispensable thing; without II men
lose the virile virtues, and the moral
fiber Of q nation rots. Second. pre-
paredness for war - the supreme ma
tlonal duty. A nation must be an
army, and its men must practice the
art OF warfare all the time. Third.
military and naval officers form SUI
perior caste: they are the custodians
OF nations honor and the guardians
Of its treasures and. therefore. are the
wisest counselors OF statesmen and
the safest advisers CT presidents and
kings. The war grew out OF a policy,
and the policy grew cut OF creed
