International Peace Advocate
Pleads That MiIitarism Yield
to Women's Plan.
By MRS. ELMER BLACK
Copyright, 1914, by the United Press

Mans theory of making peace
through preparedness for war, which
has had every chance to prove its
truth, is utterly broken down. In 1880
the six great powers of Europe spent
on their armies and navies 1870. 900, 600,
in 1910 81 ,s75. 900, 600 in 1914 in time of
peace $1,s49, 900, 000-and to this we
must add interest on war loans, war
debts and loss of productive work
through the maintenance of masses
of men-and we have something over
four billion dollars a year as Europe's
expenses for maintaining peace by
the gun-metal method. To this must
be added the expense Of war. now
raging, costing upwards of s50.000,OO0
a day. Everybody all of sudden ex-
ploded in Europe because everybody
was loaded.
Now, why not try the woman's way
and in time OF peace prepare for more
peace?
We are about to celebrate the one
hundredth anniversary of peace be-
tween the English-speaking nations.
During the century there were occa-
sional disputes between the United
States and Canada that might have
turned out seriously, but there never
was soldier along our borders and
never gun, and where there are no
soldiers there is no war. The present
catastrophe in Europe shows that the
peace-at-any- price epithet might be
applied to the militarist. Swollen ma
vies multiply points of friction. foster
distrust, foment suspicion and fan the
fires of hatred. Woman's conception
of the governments supreme business
is not gearing rivals, but making
friends.

LONDON, Aug. 2s.-The ST. Peters,

describing the operations in East
Prussia, tells of the difficulties which
nature had placed in the way of the
Russian advance and says the Ger

these difficulties by q modern adapta-

and marshes were sown with rifle
pits and wherever practicable, re-
doubts of felled timber were placed.
Everywhere there we're formidable
wire entanglements.
We have no exact information, .
the correspondent continues, "of how
many army corps Germany had left
to oppose the Russian advance. Per-
haps there were seven and possibly
only five. Whatever their number.
