FerrerO Thinks War Is
Sure To Last Two Years
Noted Italian Historian Fears Hatred Stirred by
Conflict Will Lead to Destruction of Germany,
Who VIII Drag Europe Down in Crash.
tBy Guglielmo Ferrero, the eminent
historlan)

(By Guglielmo Ferrero, the eminent
historian.)
At the time the European war broke
out the majority Of the people thought
that the upheayal was too big to last
long. I'm three months" it was stat
ed war will be over, for the simple
reason that it can not last longer"
1t was owing to this belief that the
fear caused by the war TO all Of us
was allayed.
More than three months have elaps-
cd and today even the most optimistic
must admit that we are only at the
beginning Of the very beginning. The
rapid invasion Of France, which SEEM
ed to be the Germans plan, has been
checked. But after three months of
fighting neither side succeeds I'm re-
pulsing the adversary.
Likewise on the Russian border and
on the borders of the two German
empires Germans and Russians, Rus
SLAMS and Austrians have fought for
two months. 1t is now the one and
now the other that advance. but
neither seems able to make a decisive
step forward.
Var Then and Now.
How far away back the heroic times
are when the loNgest campaign last
ed only two months, and the times
when the armies came face to face,
felt each other with a few gunshots,
anu away 10 the attack that decided
the day! They went at each other on
horseback or on foot, with the sword,
the lance or the bayonet, and from
dawn to sunset they fought for a de-
cisive result.
Would the heroes of the empire and
OF the revolution do the same today /?
What would Kellerman, or Desaix, or
Maurat, or Ney' do? Today thu battle
fields appear empty. Trenches follow
trenches as far as the eye can reach,
on plains or hills, for hundreds of
miles. Now and then O rising column
OF smoke betrays the guns, vomiting
their shells. and back OF the guns
some men crawling rapidly away.
The days go by. the guns continue
TO roar, and the men ,.anfain hidden
In their trencehs, suffering from cold
and hunger, moved down by diseases
more than by FIRE. without knowing
what they are doing, what Is hap
pening.' small PARTICLES OF an immense
and incomprehensible whole.
Some 20 years ago there hourished
in Europe school which thought and
taught that the deadliness OF modern
weapons and the sizes OF the armies
would make war impossible-or very
short The most famous of these
writer's was Block, the Russian bank
er, whose book, 1t was at the time
said, persuaded the Gear to invite the
european nations to The Hague con-
gress in order 70 reach an understand
ing on the question Of disarmam ,nt.
This theory was undoubtedly wrong
II the word impossible" was taken In
It's precise meaning. Unfortunately,
the facts have proved that in the year
The Anderson daily intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson, S.C.) 1914-1915, 1914-12-03
1T Is TO LAUGH

Governor Blease has appointed Eu-
gene l.. Kibler as State detective to
go to Charleston and be present at
the races, seeing II he can discover
any evidence of gambling, etc. The
following sentence appears at the
close Of the letters he has written
Attorney General Peoples about the
appointment: However, please un-
derstand that I do not propose to
make OF myself q spy or Informer,
nor will any other respectable gen
tlemen do So" The newspapers have
heralded the fact that Mr.. Kibler has
been appointed a detective to discover
the evidences of gambling at the race
meet. and. with this notice, of course
the bookmakers will arrange their
gambling 80 that Mr. Kibler can
catch them openly and not as "spy"
or "informer," which OF course would
not be "gentlemanly." This Is about
the same as IL q detective instructed
to catch alleged blind tigers should
print badge In large letters saying
~ am a detective and will report all
persons catch selling liquor" OF
course the race track gamblers will
not make any effort to find out who
Mr.. Kibler is, and he will have an
easy time catching" them. It is TO
laugh.

IS. THE SOUTH A BEGGARi

Everywhere one hears comments on
the unfortunate attitude that the
South has been placed in. on account
OF the apparent desire to appeal for
outside aid when the adverse condi-
tions brought about by the war be-
6ah 10 AFFECT her people. the other
sections OF the country have the idea
that the South is composed of beggars,
which Is, OF course, not true. and Ia
being resented by all true Southern
era. The. buy o bale" movement has
reacted against the South and has
proven n veritable boomerang. Not
enough cotton was purchased at this
price to do any body any good. and It
gave the rest OF tho country the ex-
cuse they needed to knock the South,
anG they have taken full advantage
Of the condition brought about by this
philanthropIc movement;
Editor Powell, OF the Clearwater
Evening Sun. little paper published
In a Florida town OF three thousand
souls. has the following to say rela-
tive to "The South Praying Itself to
Death"
Years ago i was sent over to Homo
lulu TO write piece about annexing
those peagreen isfands to the United
States. The reason my paper gave
mo the assignment was that was 50
tall and lean that they felt that the
cannibals would pass me up. While
snoopzing around Molaiai one day
ran into q bunch OF kanakas who
were performing q strange rite. Upon
inquiry learned that there had been
no death in the community for aome
time. nor a birth for that matter, and
q native feast, or iuau was needed
They had to have their social doings
and church sociais were not yet pop
ular. So they were praying q good
able-bodied citizen to DEATH II
And strange TO say the fellow laid
down and died.
That's the trouble with the South
right now.
Excuse fer Funeral.
They are praying themselves TO
death. The peach crop couldn't be
killed by q froat, the boil weavii would
not boil, aud there Is such d fine de-
mand for corn, and steel and sugar and
dyestuffs and chemicals, and so on,
and so the fool people hit on the Eu-
ropean war as an excuse to make .
funeral.
All this talk OF hard times is mere
~ mental. Cotton they say. IL low.
yet the price OF 3 little bali of cotton
twine has risen since the war from
cents to 8 cents. If cotton gotg much
lower the pfice will probably be
twelve cents. The reason OF che I'm
erease Of price IL bscause there are
The Anderson daily intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson, S.C.) 1914-1915, 1914-12-03

some millions of bales OF distressed
cotton at six to eight cents & pound,
and 1t Is shame ID work that nice
heecy staple into twine. 1t would
spoil a hard times story.
Then some we'll meaning philan-
thropist started a Buy-a-Baie move
snent end -elessted al. os s;s to the
poor house, and drove capital from the
South. This badge 0f poverty is dis
grace to country which rose from
the civil war stronger than ever.
The trouble Is all of our own maxi
Ing.
And the trouble will right itself,
and the South will emerge from the
present crisis a new South. The situ-
alton Is blessing In disguise. It will
put hundreds of good farmers ON their
farms instead Of living in town so
their daughters can dance the tango
and play bridge. They will take their
old place at tho helm and make the
vast acres blossom like the rose. They
will raise corn and potatoes and hay
and hogs and cattle and mules and
chickens. and use the cotton crop as
velvet,
