The Christian states were against the

The reasons for the decay Of Sa-

Of civilization makes it all the more

extra brace TO do our best here.
We did not seek the chance to
profit from Eui0pe's folly. but that
is no reason why we should run away
from 1t.
While Europeans are numbering
each other like maniacs we can go
after the business they are thus de-
sorting in Asia and South America
and by a grand rush gain the lead
ership during generations to come.
Can we common NUTS do this?
You bet we can. We can do our
share
Our share will be TO work Just a
little harder and faster and at the
same time try TO get larger share
Of what we produce. The big fellows
cannot do it without us and now is
the time 10 make them understand
that, il new fields of trade are to be
conquered, they must give as we'll as
take.
The NUTS over there haven't had
sense enough TO stand up for their
rights That's why they're killing
each other off in a quarrel they know
little about.
We don't have to be so stupid here;
we can demand a voice and a part in
the gains which their foOhshness
makes possible.

1t is gratifying TO note that the OPP

OF some Of their burdens as an Incl

What these concessions mean to the

comprehended here. where every cit

where every state has home rule. No
people have been more sorely op-
pressed and prosecuted than the Poles
and in no country have the Jews been
denied so much that is dear to every
man. The one has been the prey OF
politics. the other of greed.

An English writer. Ashineade Bart
lett, says permanent peace is the goal
sought by his country and France in
the war now in progress, and can see
that accomplished only through the
subjugation of Germany. Thus the
burden of responsibility for the peace
OF Europe or rather its disturbance.
is placed upon the kaiser.
The idea is by no means new. 1t
antedates the present situation by az
least forty years. and perhaps it is
longer than that that Germany has
been the menace of the peace of Eu-
rope. Since the Napoleonic period II
the aggressor or has been desirious of
acquiring territory, except the recov-
cry of her own, wrested from her by
Germany. England mas no designs on
continental soil. So far as British ag-
gressiveness is concerned Europe
would live in peace all its days. AS
much may not be said OF Russia. The
Muscovite motive is regarded as sin
lister. but if other European nations
unanimously looked to peace as their
goal Russia could be curbed and
eventually taught to be content with
what she has.
If permanent peace in Europe can
be secured by crushing Germany and
pushing her back within her own
natural confines the opportunity,
made by Germany herself. seems to
be at hand. The most powerful ma
tons of Europe and the orient are ar
rayed against her. If these allied
forces cannot bring Germany to terms
now it never can be done. or is not
likely 10 be done in the future. and
European peace will remain in a state
of jeopardy
Presumably Great Britain. France
and Russia are alive to their oppOr-
tunity and will press the advantage
of numbers and position to reduce
Germany 20 a peace basis of such per-
manency as may be secured through
the levying of indemnities and the en-
fOrcement of guarantees. Lord Kitch-
ener urges the mobilization of a Brit
ish army of 100000 men. He is con-
scious of the opportunity and its re-
quirements and of the part Great
Britain must perform in bringing a
