blazed by epochs of prosperity and
happiness. The golden age of peace
is conducive to a glorious literature.
During the Agustan age, noble men
produced works of literature which
will hold place of honor long after
the victories of Pompey and the Scip-
los have lost their luster. In this era of
peace, civilization and education have
advanced by leaps and bounds. Man
has now come to the realization that
war is barbaric. Paint it in glowing
colors, surround it with romance and
poetry, dazzle by it's pomp and false
glitter, yet you cannot remove the
barbaric stain from it, for the slaugh-
ter of human beings is the trade of
barbarism.
War shows neither mercy nor JUS
tice; it strips the country of it's youth;
it drains the country of its wealth;
it leaves the poisonous seeds of dis
ease and immortality, which continue
to terminate adm diffuse their bane-
full influence long after the war itself
has ceased.
1t is the common people, the masses
of every nation that are crying out
against the barbarism and tyranny of
war, for they bear the burden, the
poverty, the sorrows. The prepare
lions for war are costly; the country
must be taxed and taxed heavily to
support an efficient army and naXy.
Seventy-three per cent. of the revenue
of the United States is used in connec-
ton with war. Germany and the 9TH
er European countries are laboring
under heavy war taxes. Each year
the nations vie with one another in
the invention and production of new
instruments of war, more deadly and
costly than the last A few years ago
it was the dreadnaught, now it is the
aeroplane, with its possibilities in
times OF war that engages the atten-
ton of the world. Already there is
bitter rivalry between Germany and
France for the control of the air. This
ceaseless building of the monster en-
gines is slowly undermining the
strength of the nations; the realiza-
tion is borne to them that some imme.
date action must be taken to crush
the growth of ornaments.
The commercial growth of a coun-
try is retarded by the ravages of war;
its progress and wealth receive fatal
blow which only the lapse of time can
retrieve. The possibility of investing
in or trading with a country that is
ceaseiessly waging war is not to be
considered. Business men and the
great banking houses realize the fact

War has received the fiercest de-
nunciations from the greatest and ho-
Hest men of all times. The Greek
Euripides exclaims, 20 fools all We
who try to win the need OF va1sr
through war, seeking thus to still this
mortal coil, for if bloody contests are
to decide, strife viii never cease" Ar
istides praises Pericles, becauses, to
avoid war, "he is willing to accept ar
bitration.'' Cicero says: There are
two ways of ending dispute-discus-
sion and force. The latter manner is
simply that of brute beasts; the for
mer is proper to beings gifted with
reason ST. Martin replied to Julian,
the apostate, Il am a Christian, and
cannot fight Christ gives peace as
heritage to the world when he says,
peace be with you"
War has been denounced not only
by the ancients, but by the great mod
ems, who realize that war is, and al
ways will be barbaric. Thus, in the
words Of Rosseau, WAR is the foulest
fiend ever vomited from the mouth of
HE'LL Hume says ''The rage and vio-
lence of public war; what is it but a
suspension of justice among warning
parties?" John Hay, one of the
greatest American secretaries of
state, denounces war as "the most flu
tile and ferocious of human follies."
Men whose names lie hidden in OBJ
security, as we'll as men whose names
are written in the book of fame, pro-
claim that war is inhuman; that it is
a great illusion to believe that it can
be otherwise.
To understand this hatred of the
greatest men of all ages for war, and
their desire for peace, it is only neces-
sary to study the record of war from
the earliest times, to trace it's course
through the ages and then place in
contrast the record and progress of
peace.

WHY ITALY REFUSES
TO AID AUSTRIA
Natural Antipathy To Ger.
many's Ally Cause Of Peace
Inclination.
From Worlds Work.

The reason that Italy has held off
from it's allies in the triple lliance is
written large in it's history. The
grandfather of the present king OF
Italy, Victor Emmanuel of Sardinia,
with Cavour's guidance. made an al
lance with Napoleon Ill and picked a
quarrel with Austria in 1859. much as
Bismarck in 1866 made a treaty With
Italy picked a quarrel with Aus
tria. In each case these nation build
ers deliberately provoked war as a
means to the unification of their coun-
try. II the campaigns of 1859 Lom-
hardy was taken from Austria. In
1866. in alliance With Prussia. Italy
went TO war with Austria again.. this
time chiefly as a result of the Prus-
sian victory at Sadowa, receiving Nene-
tia from Austria. Austria was held to
be the chief enemy of Italy's independ-
ence and unity. Despite this. however.
in 1882 Italy joined Germany and Aus
tria in the triple %alliance. This I'M
natural alignment was entered into
chiefly because France. ltaly's normal
ally. had blocked her colonial ambitions
in Tunis. Yet the alliance never made
Austria popular With Italians, nor did
it cover the Mediterranean or the
Adriatic. The head of the Adriatic is a
constant source OF enmity between
Italy and Austria. In trieste ana
Fiume. seaports of Austria. the popula-
ton is chiefly Italian. Italy has always
coveted not only these ports but the
Albanian shore of the Adriatic as we'll.
She looks with suspicion upon the Ger
Mana Austrian attempts to m the
Balkans. Early in the Italian-Turkish
war Italy began to lombard the AL
banian coast. then held by Turkey. She
was Immediately warned Off from
Avlona by Austria. This added fresh
vigor to the old antipathy. Again the
tension over the control of the Adriatic
was so acute during the Balkan war
that there was even a possibility Of
hostilities between Italy and Austria.
When, therefore, the question of new
ing the triple alliance came up in
1913. it was only with great difficulty
that Germany. succeeded in getting
Italy to join it, eve though it was
only a defensive alliance n did not
include the Mediterranean. The Italians
look upon securing Trieste and the
control of the Adriatic as the French
look upon reeonquerins Alsace and
Lorraine.
Austria stands fair in the path of
this ambition. The memor of former
wars and the recognition of present
conflicting qualities make the Italian
people unwilling to support Austria.
The Italian governments decision that
1T was not bound to help Austria and
Germany because they were not en-
in a defensive war relieved 1t
from entering upon a warlike policy
which would probably nave failed of
public support.
Moreover Italy has nothing to gain
by a wal against the triple entente,
unless it might be part of Frances
North African possessions. The chance
of acquiring these would hardly be
worth exposing Il long coast line to the
French and English Mediterranean
fleets. On tho contrary a German-Aus-
trian victory would almost certainly
work harm to Italy's hope to control
in the Adriatic.

WAR CREATES
DESIRE FOR LAND

"
C~hicagO-The war has not only raised
food prices over night but there has
been created an exceptional desire for
homestead land in the west. The farm
er again has absolutely demonstrated
his independence n while there is an
apparent unrest in other professions
which is to be sure unwarranted. the
farmer above all has before him a sea-
son of u~nbounded prosperity. Whetl-
er or not the sudden rise in foodstuffs
is arbitrary or is the natural result of
economic conditions, the fact remain
that people realize more that ever the
tiller of the soil is assured of an abund-
ant living in any crisis.

to make enough FARMS" said Albert ".

Foreigners Should Behave.

from the fnllaOolpnl6 Ledger.
Certain individuals of German birth nov
in the United States apparently seek to
transform the attitude OF this country
from impartial neutrality to passionate
partisanship. Their maneuvers must fail.
for the response Of the country to the
prudent counsels of President Wilson has
fort to embroil the United States in the
doubly reprehensible in those who nave
sought the citizenship Of our nation so
generally conferred.
This nation does not ask or expect new
corners to stifle love or interest in their
fatherland when they accept citizenship
but 1t does demand that American citizen-
ship shall not be made q cloak for sedi-
tious attempts to involve this country in
the QuarrelS of lands which they have
abandoned. America has suffered too
much from this in the past to tolerate Il
today when the possibilities of PARTISAN
ship or a breach of the true spirit of neu-
trality may have far more serious conse-
Quences than at any previous period in
our history.
These remarks apply especially to those
who call themselves German-Americans,
and who appear to forget that in accept
ing American citizenship they nave as
sumed an obligation to place the welfare
and interests of this country above every
other consideration. yet who SO far forget
that obligation AZ to indulge in studied at
tempts to misrepresent the attitude Of
this country and its newspapers, and to
magnify incidents which might conceiv-
ably lead to grave international complica-
tions.

rare. but even harder to explain. A
number of users of the typewriter
claim that they spell idiot "ediot" or
Nedeiot"; h~umour-when using the
English spelling-thoumur," Egypt"
for Egypt, n leslie" for aisle.
No one of these mistakes is a case of
misspelling. OF course, most of us have
words that We are prone to misspell
(sic,) but these are words that we
know are wrong and generally realize
their incorrectness immediately. still
the next time the same mistake is
made.
A common mistake is to spell boss,
"boos,' sweet, 'sweett," or little
little" When doubling the letters the
wrong ones are doubled. Oftentimes
we find that we can speed up on most
of the words that we use, but that on
these bette noirs We hesitate, and hest
tatlng are lost. Ever when we stop to
think we make the mistake the we de-
termlned that we would not make.
The medical men explain the cause
of these lapses in various ways. One
doctor declares that stenographer's
fingers are not firmly controlled by the
brain. She has the word in her brain
and the stimulus is sent along the
nerves to the finger muscles. but owing
to the loose control of the brain. they
become mixed.

about as far from Berlin as this city is
from Poughkeepsie. AS interpreted by
the military critics. the only question is
whether the kaiser can crush the French

will be regarded as possible by those who

that three French cities. Lille, Roubaix
