London, March 14.-Prince Arthur
of Connaught, son of the governor
general of Canada and cousin of King
George, is slated for the first home
rule viceroy of Ireland Among all
whose names have been mentioned for
this post, it is agreed that the prince
is best fitted by training, family con-
nections and temperament He is ex-
tremely popular, while his nearness to
the throne and his personal intimacy
with the king would have a great ef-
feet in soothing unionist suscepti-
bilities in Ireland.
It would be difficult for Irish So
ciety to boycott viceregal court held
by the first cousin and the niece of the
sovereign. especially after the latter
had visited Dublin in person to open
the first Irish parliament, which he
will do IL that parliament is ever sum-
moned.
There is little prospect, however, of
the home rule bill becoming law early
the coming summer, as nationalists
and liberals have often declared would
be the case. 1t is now predicted that
Ireiand's fight for self-government will
not be ended before next fall.

ALTHUisM VS.. sAvAcERy.

According to the view expressed by
Hugo Munstcrberg, eminent Harvard
professor and great scholar the
European war is an inevitable clash
between rival races, the Teuton and
the Slav and both the German EN-
peror and the Russian czar are, there.
fore, engaged In a conflict which they
could not avoid There is no doubt
that this is the correct historical view
and according to mediaeyal ideals it
furnishes justification for armed strife
with all its unspcakable woe.
To put the case In simple terms, the
German people believe that their
superior culture and civilization are
jeopardizeds by the advance Of the
Siavonic nations and the latter believe
that it is up to them to crush their
rivals. Physical force is therefore
made the arbiter.
The savagery OF such aview is made
plain by taking a. parallel case be.
tween individuals Two men are rivals
IN business, in professional skill or
scholarship. The stronger fears that
the weaker is getting strong enough
to endanger his position and to settle
the issues comes a resort to force.
This is unquestionably the working
OF the primitive savage instinct but
what would tho demand of modern
ethical ideals call for? Human society
is moving toward solidarity and al
truism is the only force which gives
1t permanent uplift. The altrustlc
ideal says to the stronger individual
and the stronger nation, help the
weaker. the inferior. to RISE" instead
OF crushing out.
The war of the nations is inevitable
from the savage viewpoint, but judged
in the light of ideals that are befit-
ting human beings 1t is a crime
against mankind, civilization, moral
ity and progress.
