EUROPEAN WAR
Or, Eliot Declares if Truthand
Higher Ideas Can Be Brought
to BeIIigerent Peoples All Is
Well.


New York. Dee. 22.--Hope that the
great war in Europe might yet work
out for tire good of mankind, was
expressed by DR.. Charles w. Eliot,
president emeritus of Harvard uni
versity, in an address tonight before
thes New England society at its one
hundredth and ninth annual dinner.
"The American people believe, as
the Pilgrim church believed that
truth and light are constantly to be
made known to man" said DR.. Eliot.
'and that 1t is truth that makes men
free-more truth, scientific. philoso-
phical or religious, more freedom for
mankind.
Truth MAY Bless Europe.
IF this faith can now be implant-
ed in the international mind of Eu-
rope as the moral issue of the present
most fearful catastrophe. the huge
sorrow and desolation of most of that
continent may yet be turned into
gladness and hope
Dir. Eliot declared that the funda-
mental cause of the European war
was "the difference in the ideals of
government. national greatness and
national welfare. of Germany and
Austria on the one hand, and France
and Great Britain on the other"
He continued:
THE principal difference between
the people of the United States and
the nations of Europe is a difference
of ideals concerning human welfare
and the means of promoting it.
Should Have Same Ideals.
in order that different races or
stocks should live peacefully and
helpfully beside each other under the
same free governments, conjoined
but not commingled as In the United
States of today. It is only necessary
that they should all come to cherish
the same deals of public liberty. pub
lie justice and cooperative manage
ment. That liz the true assimilation of
different states or races. and none
other is needed"
DR.. Lyman Abbott. another speak
er, touched upon the question of ma
tional defense.
"A self-governing nation" he said
must be protecting nation.

men who are ready to face the guns
If they can't work together any more
