Whichever view is correct, all are

GOOD SPORT CHEATED.

The minor results OF the war that
give disappointment are the necessary
postponement of the air flight across
the Atlantic and the yacht race for
the Americas cup. The former per-
haps more than the latter, because Of
its novelty.
1t is a very sporty idea, this promis-
ed attempt to see if man can fly across
the ocean. 1t appeals intensely to the
spirit Of adventure and offers a spec
tacular test of mechanism in daring
new field of endeavor.
But who knows what surprises in
air flight the war itself may bring
out? Quite early in the progress of
aviation the human imagination con-
ceived the chance that earth's bravest
battles would one day be fought in
the clouds.
And now that war is bringing this
speculation 10 the test, who can guess
what surprises may be in store?
Widespread already IS the expecta-
tion that the army airmen have sur
prises up their sleeves. The conf
dence with which Germany. for in
stance. faces hostile continent is
hard to understand on the basis of
known land strength; so that arm
chair strategists are busy wondering
If wonderful new engines of slaughter
for use in the air may net be in the
back of Berlin's mind.
1t may even be that contro, Of mo-
tor power in fight will ere the wars
end have been SO well ests blishad that
a peaceful flight across the Atlantic
would not have the content Of sur
prise and would. therefore, offer lit
tie tribute of glory.
This. however. is all guess work.
The only sure thing is that the try
out across the water. to say nothing
of the race for the cup, must await
Calmer times.

tance with a vengeance. What is
more, il notifies the world that Ger
many has not been isolated by the
cutting OF her cables, but is in i'm
mediate and instant communication.
This marvellous Marconi feat is also
notice To the world that intercOmmu-
nication can no longer be interrupted.
for the air cannot be severed nor con-
fined. nor can its waves be checked
by the power OF man.
Did Germany. when she installed
the powerful wireless station at Ber-
lin, forsee the war now in progress
and did she realize that one Of the
would be TO cut her telegraph cable and
sever connection with the outside
world? 1t seems so. Al least Ger
many was prepared 70 overcome this
obstruction as she was prepared to
overcome many others
A year ago a German citizen of
South Bend made the statement that
when the Kiel canal was completed
Germany would be ready for war. The
canal was opened TO traffic in June.
Barely a month later Germany was
engaged in war But the Kiel canal
was not the only preparation Germany
made. She strengthened her fortress
es. she organized a magnificent army
OF a million men, mO1eTnly equipped
and led by the most skillful officers in
the military service of the German
empire, and she harnessed the air for
more than 5000 miles around in or
der that whatever might come she
would not be marooned in a world Of
nations.
Yes, Germany is ready. and her
foes are ready. And that's the pity

Intervention quickly accepted but
must be fought to the bitter end.

WILSON. LOGICAL PEACE,MAKER

That If they had IL all TO do over
again the few who forced this awful
war would move less arrogantly is
easily believed. 1t is unlikely that they
could fully have foreseen the stagger-
ing results of their mad pride and
folly.
Men in passion rarely do.
But dogs Of war, unleashed, are not
easily recalled.
President Wilson's offer TO lead a
movement back to peace and sanity
voices humanity's best judgment and
must secretly meet with anxious vel
come among foreseeing folks abroad.
II is the call OF the best in the
worlds civilization to draw back from
the yawning worst.
Moreover, when the sober second
thought gets its inning in Europe. il
will be remembered and grasped. For
alone among the major nations is
America placed TO proffer the olive
branch Its concern is unselfish; it
has no entangling alliances: among
its citizenship are many once subjects
OF the warning pawers; and TO its
bounty must embattled Europe look
for ultimate escape from starvation.
In the end. these powerful influ-
ences must prevail.
But probably not yet The dogs OF
war. crazed by hate. must first glut
their blood lust in each others
thrOats
Nevertheless the presidents proffer
completes a necessary record. And
stamps upon H. for historys remem-
brance. an entry OF which Americans
may always be proud.
