Cruising Across Cape Cod.

The Panama waterway Is not the only ditch near
ing completion this summer. The Cape Cod Canal IS
far advanced that the Boston Yacht Club has laid
out its August cruise by way OF this new route. Mid
is expected TO see the last OF the cape as
dividing line for yachtsmen.
A real boon for sailor folk. amateur as well rs
professional, will be this waterway. 1t Is not
merely the miles saved IT is the thick weather and
long, dangerous outside passage which yachtsmen
can now escape The Of the cape has been a
rude and rough obstacle for the small boat cruisers
In the past Most yachtsmen have stuck 10 their own
side of the cape, and let 1t go at that The Down
East shippers have had little chance at the waters
of Nantucket and Vineyard sounds and the whole
varied cruising ground that les between Long Island
and Connecticut Our own yachtsmen have had scant
experience of Massachusetts and Maine harbors
The Boston Yacht Club cruise IS fair promise Of
what is to come With the cape canal open the
whole coast, from He'll Gate up becomes glorious
cruising ground and pleasure seekers may profit fully
as much as the working craft with their chuggng
screws and wind tanning

RUSKIN ON WAR
Nations Are Trained by War and Be-
irayed by Peace.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The talk OF war has brought 10
mind again Ruskins essay on War III
the volume THE Crown Of Wild Olive
I beg to commend IL to all, not for a sim
gle reading, but for thoughtful reread-
ings.
TO those VINO do not have the time or
the inclination TO do this the following
quotations will be Of interest: Il found
I'm brief. that all great nations learned
their truth of word and strength OF
thought i'm war. that they were nour-
ished i'm war ana wasted by peace. taught
by war and deceived Dy peace, trained
by war and betrayed by peace-in
a word that they were born in war and
expired in peace" lie deprecates war
for exercise or play; and OF war for
dominion he says: There is 10 true
potency but that OF help; no true ambi-
ton but ambition 10 save. The
strength is in the men, and In their unity
and virtue
And as 10 Intervention We find this:
LAS it is at their own peril that any
race extends their dominion in mere de-
sire of power, so il is at their own still
greater peril that they refuse TO under
take aggressive war. according 10 their
force, whenever they are assured that
their authority would be helpful and
protective" That is the first sentence Of
the paragraph. and the last IS: II tell
you that the principle Of non-interven-
lion. AS now preached among US, is as
cruel and selfish as the worst frenzy Of
conquest, and differs from it only by
being not only malignant but dastardly."
And when | listened to the ladies talk
ing against war in the great hall OF
Cooper Union last Thursday night 1
thought Of his last words Of the essay.
find that he turns 10 the ladies and
SAYS. 1t IS your fault. Wholly yours
Continuing. he adds: THE real final
reason for all the poverty, misery and
rage OF battle throughout Europe IS
that YOU women. however good. however
religious. however self-sacrihcing FOR
those whom you love. are too selfish and
too thoughtless TO take pains for any
crea ture out OF your own immediate cir
cles"
But Ruskin was only man. and
maybe he was all wrong.
