The war bids fair to have a very
great influence upon the Dominion OF

tion difficulties caused great deal OF
criticism in England and the Cana
dams by no means accepted this crit.
ieism with good grace. Again. Eng
land has resented Canada's action in
not assuming a fair portion toward
supporting the British navy. A bill
calling for $35.0O0.O0o appropriation
for this purpose was introduced by
the Borden government. 1t was to be
used In building three dreadnaugtits,
bar the senate held the fIieasure i'm
and 1t certainly locked as IL the cleo
torate would take Similar aotion.
In word 1T has Seemed as IL the
bonds which hold Canada to the
mother country were strained very
near to the breaking point. But the
war has made q great change in SEN
timent In Canada. The Canadians are

only too anxious to send troops, ships,

Any prestige the liberal party may
have gained by attempting to prevent

the war continues for any length of

cost that which was spent to effective
purpose.
One thing 1 think we can reason
ably count on il that with the pros
tration of industry, with the blows to
prosperity, with the state of fiux that
is likely to follow this titanic strus-
gle, there will be every opportunity for
common sense TO resume it's sway;
and after the horrible expenditure of
the blood of the best and the savings
of the rich and the poor. the oppor-
tunity and the motive for a reduction
of armament and the taking away Of a
temptation to further war will be
greatly enhanced.
1t is an awful remedy. but in the
end it may be worth what it costs, If
1T makes this the last great war. The
influence of America can be thrown
most effectively for peace when peace
is possible and for minimum arma-
ments when disaster and exhaustion
shall make the cofitending peoples
and their rulers See things as they

Servians and Serbs.

NopfHfSHefu sunday RepuDltcan.)
A clear distinction must be kept be-
tween Servians, or subjects of the
Kingdom of Servia. and Serbs, or peo-
pie of the Serb race wherever found
Confusion at this point has led 10

yond her frontiers.

Servian enthusiasts, they would make
Il very considerable nation. In Servia
before the war there were not quite
100000, and while the war extended
the boundaries Of the kingdom. the
added population Is not wholly Serb.
No revised statistics are available
but it is likely that the servians of
Serb race are now about 1000, 900. To
these may be added $4,000 Mol,te4

Dream of Peace Interrupted.

The slunaber of civilization has been
disturbed; dream OF universal peace
interrupted. Seven centuries before the
birth OF Jesus the prophet Micah pre-
dicted a time when they shall beat
their swords into pruning hooks; ma
ton shall not lift UP sword against
nation, neither shall they learn war
any more
From that hour to this poets, phil
osophers and statesmen have cried
peace, peace" but peace has been
spasmodic and preparation for war
constant and sapping the very vitals
of civilized governments. Now, in a
flash, great powers have flown at the
Threats of each other and the world
shivers under the impact of rending
sinews and bleeding flesh. All the good
resolutions and promises of civilized
diplomatic conventions are forgotten as
the confirmed drunkard forgets his
pledge after taste Of fiery liquor.
AS this is dictated at noon on
Wednesday every ear of christeiidom
Is strained for the first electric mes
sage that great catacIysm is already
under way. And when this article is In
the hands of the readers on Thursday
our expectancy may have become HIS
tory.
Who could have dreamed or would
have been believed II he had suggest
ed, ten days ago. that the world was
ON the brink of a great cIasm? Now
we are in the midst of it, and human
life is the cheapest thing on earth.

The Price Of War.


(Pittsburg Gazette Times.)
Among United States army officers
who will accompany the European
forces in case the war Is prolonged
will be members of the surgical
branch of the service whose ebserva-
ton of methods of sanitation in camp
and of the treatment of the wounded
on the battlefield and in the emery
eney hospitals should prove of great
value to our own military organiza-
ton. OF recent wars that between
Japan and Russia provided the most
striking illustration of the advance of
medical science in keeping the soldiers
in a healthy condition and disproving
the adage that usually more are slain
by disease than by bullets. In the
France-P russian war over 16 per cent.
OF the wounded suecumbed. In the
Russo-Japanese war the percentage Of
Russian wounded who died was less
than five and of Japanese less than
three. According to DR.. A. K.
Yoesuffs of Worcester. Mass who was
a surgeon of the Red Crescent in the
Turko- Balkan war, as reported in the
Army and Navy Journal Sc per cent.
of the wounded were able to return TO
the front after receiving treatment,
while the number who died as a result
OF their injuries Is given as from three
to nine per cent. At DR.. Yoosuff's
hospital in Constantinople the death
rate never exceeded the lower figure
Nearly so per cent. OF the wounds
were due to shrapneI and blood poi
soning was rare.
Statistics of this kind. however, lose
much of their rea ssuring force when
the CHASTITY total of slaughter for even
a brief period of fighting is presented
DR.. Octave Laurent surgeon Of st.
Johns Hospital, Brussels, who fol-
lowed the Balkan troops for eleven
months, says that in July, 1913, $780,
goo men were killed OF wounded on
both sides and more than half Of them
fell within six days. Writing before
the present European war was thought
of, he declared: IT yoa put zero be-
hind this number You will have some
idea of the losses that must be pre-
sumed to take place In any war which
would tomorrow set the armed forces
OF any tive first class powers of
Europe on the fighting line before
each other. There would be not less
than 100000 dead and wounded in
the course of the first month" Is any
war worth such a price?

The Last Great War;

| In next Mondays issue Of The In
dependent will appear a remarkable
article, a message to the American
people, by William Howard Taft, for
mer President of the United States
who writes:
AS I write, Germany is reported to
have declared war against Russia and
France, and the participation of Eng
land on the one side and of Italy on
the other seems imminent. Nothing
like it has occurred since the great
Napoleonic wars, and with modern
ornaments and larger populations
nothing has occurred like 1t since the
world began.
1t is a cataelysm. 1t Is a retrograde
step in Christian civilization. 1t Will
be difficult to Keep the various coun-
tries Of the Balkans out OF the war,
and Greece and Turkey may take part
in it. All Europe is to be a battle
ground 1t is reported that the neu-
trality of Holland has already ben
ignored and Belgium offers such OPP
portunities in the campaigns certain
to follow that her territory, too. will
be the scene of struggle.
Private property and commercial
shipping under an enemy's flag are
subject to capture and appropriation
by prize proceedings and with the
formidable f,avies of England, France,
Germany, Russia and Italy active the
great carrying trade of the world will
be in large part suspended or des-
treyed or will be burdened with such
heavy Insurance as greatly to curtail
It,
The commerce OF the world makes
much for the prosperity of the coun-
tries with whom it is conducted and
it's interruption means great incon-
venience and economic suffering
among all people whether at peace or
war. The capital which the Euro
pean people have invested by the bill
lions in the United States Canada
Australia, South Africa and in the
Orient must perforce be withdrawn TO
fill the war chests of the nations en-
gagged in a death grapple, and the en-
terprises which that capital made
possible are likely to be greatly Grip
pied while the hope of any further exs
pansion must be definitely given up.
This general European war will give
feverish activity In q Humber Of
branches of our industry, but ON the
whole we shall suffer with the rest of
the world, except that we shall not be
destroying or blowing up our existing
wealth or sacrificing the lives Of our
best young men and youth.
1t is hard to prophesy the scope of a
war like this, because history offers
no precedent. 1t is impossible to
foresee the limits of a war of any
proportions when confined only to
two countries. In our own small
Spanish war we began it to free cuba
ana when the war closed we found
ourselves ten thousand miles away
with the Philippines ON our hands.
The immense waste OF life and
treasure in modern war makes the
loss to the conqueror only less, II in
deed 1t be less, than the loss to the
| conquered.
With a high patriotic spirit, people
enter upon war with confidence and
with the thought OF martial glory and
