WHAT TO DO
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1918. by Frank Crane)

AT such time it behooves the United
with fate. Whatever action we take
should be only after careful elaboration
and with FULL clear recognition Of its
consequences.
Ii gentleman should not act In
anger, but wait till his blood cools, how
much more a nation, with all its myriad
lives and interests.
We are fortunate in having as our
chief magistrate a man who has proved
himself sane and balanced, unlikely to
be swept into inconsiderate violence by
any popular clamor. Let Us trust him.
Let us not doubt that he will duly col
lect all the facts, carefully weigh them.
and take such measures as Will result
in proper protection OF our rights.
We are confronted with as appalling
"A situation as ever was in history. The
Germans, highly intelligent and kindly
people, have allowed themselves to come
under the control Of military class
that disregards all sentiments of human
ity in the violent egotism Of its lust for
power.
Its doom is sealed. The world cannot
and will not tolerate piracy and blood
thirsty savagery. whether in the South
Seas or in Europe.
The ruthless massacre of unarmedI
and unofending citizens of neutral
states, and of women and children, who'll
are going about their lawful businessH
upon the open seas, unquestionably callsE
for some concerted action on the part of
all civilized nations TO suppress the com-
mon enemies ot mankind.
With one wanIon stroke the Germenl
government has placed itself outside the
pale of Christendom. Such power must
be curbed if il takes the last man and
the last dollar of the whole earth. The
triumph of such an inhuman monster isl
inconcevable.
The excuses the German bureaucracy
gives for its conduct are such as man
kind cannot possibly entertain. No ex-|
cuses can be found for numbering in cold
! blood numbers of innocent non-combat-
ants. Outside of the history OF piracy
no example can be found Of a civilized;
nation pursuing such a course unblush-
ingly and with deliberate intent.
Steps must be taken at once for the
| termination of PrusSian militarism. But!
such steps must not be taken in suddeuj
wrath nor under the influence of wild
resentment When punishment is meted|
out, let it be with all the dignity worthy!
of world action.
Never was the need of world govern1l
ment made so apparent. What reasonE
in time of peace, could not do. the exil
igency of world danger is forcing upon
us. Let all nations now come togethe13
in council and organize against the comb
mon enemy OF the human race. This Isl:
the only justifabie war, war upon war;
war upon barbarism.
Out of this union there may, anc.
doubtless will. grow that longed-foIl
world federation. with its one armed in{'
ternational court, and the disarmament
Of the individual nations.
May God. who maketh the wrath OF
man TO praise Him, bring out Of thfsI
SCATTERING horror. that astounds earth
and heaven, those peaceful fruits that
unimpassioned intelligence has not been
able to produce!

man sits with his head bowed upon his
hands, shaken with sobs, as the special
