Tho Vanishing Romance Of War.
Do you know what is going to be the
strongest force In putting an end to
war? Not an awakened conscience - to
the wickedness of it. Not the awful de-
structiveness of modern war 10 human
life, for men will yet regard "honor"
above their own lives or the lives OF 9th
ers. Not the economic foolishness OF IL.
for the enormous cost can largely be
saddled on later generation. But the
loss OF its romance and It's heroics. Man
they tell US is q fighting animal. So
perhaps be is, and he joys In the glory
of the fight. In the old days, when II
was man against man In direct contact,
there was glory In 1t that fired mans
soul. But warfare under modern con-
ditions Is losing Its romance. Only In
the air contests has 1t gained In the in
spiration which comes to the individual
from being in the direct fight. What
glory is there in being drowned like rats
in trap when mine or torpedo ex-
plodes underneath
Here is letter written by q young
business man iu England to friend in
America some weeks ago that Is illumi
mating:
This is q deadly game. There can
be little 10 the way Of heroics and when
1t is all over the governments will have
the greatest difficulty in getting men for
The army and navy 10 the future. What
chance has poor sailor got? II 1t Is
case of fight, in fair old standup fash
ion, cut and hack and take your chance
yes. But to have your ship sunk under
you without being able to strike blow
is not very attractive. Nor is 1t very at
tractive to sit In wet trench with the
shells bursting around you and nary a
chance to reply, but to see your friends
and comrades killed and wounded. 1t
isn't attractive.
II hear that some of our men who
have come home after being wounded are
reluctant to 90 back. They say 1t Ia just
sickening. Sit in the trenches day after
day, then comes your chance. The Ger.
mans come up in great numbers and
they pour rifle fire and machine gun fire
into them. No sport, but just straight
murder. No chance for the poor devils
advancing, and to keep on shooting into
a mass of men who cannot reply is, they
say, worse than being shot at and not be.
ing able to reply. They say 1t Is just
Wholesale massacre.
ut looks as though this war would
open the eyes OF the people to what war.
fare really is under modern conditions,
and some of them will be mighty slow 10
rush into 1t again. Kaisers may count
for mighty little after this with mothers
who are short of their sons. Real seri-
GUS blood-letting does away with lot of
eagle screaming and patriotism"

ITS nice TO Be
NEAR THE SHORE

A party Of the young men Of this
city were discussing the storm which
occurred at Chautauqua Saturday eve-
ming. This is the story as it was tol"
by n of the young men:
Tom was out in a and as the
evening wa rather nice he didn't
hurry to get in (perhaps he had COM
pany) as he thought he had plenty
of time before the approaching storm
would be upon him. However, before
he was aware Of it the storm broke
with all its fury and his amos was
%enveloped in a cloud Of spray. Many
men in a canoe on the lake on a nj light
such as that would have become. *
cited and padded their best for land.
but Tom being Of an exceedingly calm
disposition just "took hold Of the
shore and pulled himself in''.
Whenever any Of our readers are out
on the lake and are overtaken by a
storm We would advise them to follow
this young mans example, as it Ger.
tainly is the safest method we have
nearo OF. e. r."

The following from the editorial
columns of the Minneapolis Journal
one Of the leading dailies of the North
west, is food for thought.
"There. is developing in the United
States a species of religious intolcr-
ence that should be stamped out
promptly. There are differences be-
tween the Catholic and Protestant
churches that are fundamental. The
great majority of Catholics and Pro-
testants recognize the difference with
dignity and becoming tolerance, but
a few extremists on both sides in.
dulge in bigoted expressions.
For instance, The Journal receives
frequent anonymous letters obiecting

to the printing Of Catholic news.
This is the worst form Of bigotry, so
un-American as to merit contempt.
One of the great underlying prin'
cipals Of the Constitution is freedom
Of religious opinion. The Protestant
the Catholic and the Jew can w,rgl,ip
God in accordance with conscience.
Any attempt to draw a secular news.
