A War in Europe

Al last We are peIInlltSu 10 see lnal
there is war in Europe. We have
known, Of course, that a great slaugh'
ter was in progress. But the Official
reports, and the censored reports, have
shown US only sights Of machine
slaughter. They have been somewhat
suggestive OF the descriptive work oI
literary artists showing US a word
picture Of the Chicago Stock Yards.
In that great shambles slaughter has
been reduced to perfection Of ma
chine work, eliminating everything Of
dash, initiative, elan, and all ol con-
scious pride and strength in man.
There, man has been made but a part
Of the slaughter machine. Everything
has been brought. to a level Of pure
mechanics. The slaughter goes on,
but we feel, because we must, that
there is nothing dramatic, nothing
picturesque about it all, because the
human quality is not in it, Killing
grows repellant when it becomes au
tomato, or when the intelligence Of
the units, individual or organized, is
subordinated to a precalculation Of
the movements OF a machine which
roars and grinds, and tears and rends,
on the lines OF an inventors thinking
that the cog has its place, and its ap.
pointed revolutions, which must be
kept or the machine will be broken.
But this is not war. War, in its
finest essence, is that quality in man
leading him, in time Of peril, TO want
to take chance" in placing his in
telligence, strength and courage into
striking some strokes which can count
something, much or little, in the bat
tie days work. We could catch
some glimpse Of real war in General
French's reports Of the operations Of
the British troops. But these were
only pale glimpses Of what must have
been vivid realities. Yesterday
brought US the first Vport Of an AS
sociated Press correspondent at the
front, since the recent order permit
ting correspondents Of any sort at the
front, and it tells US Of a cavalry dash
by British lancers and French troop.

other point French infantry regi'
ment which, after arduous service,
had been ordered into rest, petitioned
through their colonel for an order tc
advance again, and, this order being
granted, they carried the German po
sition in front.
War can never be long waged viii
machines alone. Men must remain
men or wars must cease. Automatic
