Les Faux AmiS de Ia
Paix

Dams un article intitul6 lies
amis de la paix", l"Action Catho-
lique", organe de Son Bminence le
cardinal Begin, d6nonce vertement
les faux amis de la paix. Nous y
lisons:
....Les vrais amis de la paix
sont les amis de l'autorit6, les SOU
items du pouvoir etabl, -qu'lls ap-
puient de toutes leurs forces, sur
tout dams les p6riodes dificiles,
meme sill leur faut, pour sauvegar-
der le principe de pautorit6 ct le
prestige du souverain, sacrifer des
opinions qui leur sont cAeres sur
tel on tel systeme Reorganization
politique.
Les vrais amis de IL paix prem
nent bien garde de ne pas attirer
le m6pris populaire sur la noble
profession du soldat, saehant que
les d6fenseurs de .la patrie ont
droit au moins q lestime des non-
combattants, ne ftt-ce qua cause
du sacrifice de leur vie qu'ils sont
toujours prets a faire pour la pro-
lection du foyer, de Ia justice ct du
droit.
Les faux amis de la paix mai
ment pas la paix nj pour elle-meme
nj pour les bienfaits don't ellie est
la source, mais pour le NAL qa' ellie
leur permet de faire dams la soci6-
t6. Ills ha1ssent la guerre, non
pour les maux terribles qu'elle en-
gendre, mais parce qu'elle est une
6cole de discipline ct qu'elle dome
plus de force q l'autorit6.
Les faux amis de la paix sont les
ennemis de l'autorit6 ct les demo-
lisseurs du pouvoir 6tabli. lis
sont les amis de l'indiscipline, du
d6sordre, de la demagogie, de la re-
volution, de lanarchie. -.
Les faux amis de la paix sont
les amis de p6go1sme. lis m6pri-
sent lie soldat ct aiment a le cou-
vrlr d'ignominie, parce que la vie
du soldat est fond6e sur le respect
de Pautorit6, rob6issance ct le sa-
crifce.
Les faux amis de la paix Sc re-
connaissent, surtout, 4 ce qu'lls
sont toujours prets semer la dis
corde ct la guerre au sein de leur
propre patrie: plut0t que de sacri-
fer une seule de Icurs opinions,
une seule de leurs utopies, tout en-
Sc proclamant avec orgueil les apo
tres de la paix internationale.
Enfn, un catholique doit etre un
ami ct un serviteur de la paix,
CONNIE il doit atre I'm ami ct un
serviteur du droit ct de la justice.

COINCIDENCE HEUREUSE

Juste au moment Oh les feuil-
les americans exaltaient les sue
ces diplomatiques de M. Wilson
contre rAllemagne, le cardinal
Gibbons Sc pr6sentait a la Maison
Blanche, porteur dun message du
Pape adress6 au president des
Etats-Unis.
C'est une coincidence que cha
Gun est libre d'appr6cier a sa ma
Mere, mais qui, notre avis, indi-
que peut-etre que le Pape nest
pas stranger aux com binaisons qui
ont determine, a Berlin, un chan
cement d'attitude a regard des
Etats-Unis.
Benoft XIV, qui ma pas aban-
dome sa politique de conciliation,
ct qui nj gnore pas le puissant
concours que lie president Wilson

cifcation universelle, a etc le pre-
mier a f6liciter PAm6rique dune
victoire diplomatique plus grande
peut-etre en- apparence qu'en rea-
lite, mais suffisante, en- tout cas-,
pour permettre aux hommes DE-
tat americans de voguer sur une
mer plus calme ct sous un ciel plus
serein.
LIE message du Pape ma pas, que
nous sachions, de caract6re otticiel
Mais on nous assure quill 6t6
tres agreeable a M. Wilson.
LIE cardinal Gibbons a declare
que la d6tente survenue entire PAl-
lemagne ct les Etats- Unis rendait
lie reimbursement de la paix plus
facile ct quill await discut6 avec
M. Wilson les possibilities dune
paix plus ou moins lointaine.
Les hommes d'Etat de la Qua
druple-Entente ont tous declare
que la paix europ6enne 6tait chose
impossible pour lie moment. Et
personne. ne dira qu'ils ont tort,
quand pAllemagne Sc vante de ses
victories ct ne songe qua un re-
clement humiliant pour ses adver-
saires ct glorieux pour ellie. Mais
la situation europ6enne fnira par
changer, ct c'est alors que le Pape
ct tous les protagonistes de la
paix auront leur chance. On au-
rait tort en- attendant, de pr6ten-
Dire que tous ces pacifcateurs veu-
lent aller trop vite. LIE courant de

A. H. DEMEULES, GERANT
APRES LA GUERRE
Du "Temps" d'Ottawa:

Du "IempS QOttaWa:
Comment sc terminera la guer-
re? De quel cote sera la victoire?
Ces deux questions, qui semblent
men faire qu'une au premier abord
n n'ont pourtant pas la meme signi-
6cation. Nous voulons tous croire
ct nous esp6rons tous la victoire
des Allies; nous en- sommes mora
lement snrs, mais celia ne nous dit
pas encore comment SO terminera
la lutte la plus gigantesque ct Ia
plus meurtriere que le monde ait
jamais vue car, quelque soft lie
vainqueur, la guerre actuelle ne
peut manquer d'avoir une roper
cussion profonde dams les oouches
les plus humbles CONNIE chez les
classes les plus 6lev6es de notre So
ci6t6. Ii est une chose certaine,
c'est que le conait actuel a remu6
autant d'id6es quill mobilis6
d'hommes; cree autant de theories
nouvelles quill a suscit6 de GENES.
Et quand nous parlons d'idees ct
de theories, nous ne voulons pas
dire celles que tout movement ar
me provoque, mais celles qui Sc
sont fait jour au sein du peuple
CONNIE chez les penseurs.
La Russie, pour prendre la plus
populeuse des nations en- guerre,
vera certainement son ancien
6quilibre de monarchisme absolu
complement bouleverse ct il sera
difficile un Czar de retrouyer une
autocratie complete apres la guer-
re qui aura amen6 en- contact ses
peuples ct ceux des voisins plus
avanc6s ct plus 6clair6s.
En- Allemagne ct EN- Angleterre,
c'est probablement lie contraire qni
Sc produira, surtout dams le pre-
mier pays. En- efet, des le debut
de la guerre, le gouvernement alle-
mand s'emparait par r64uisition
de toutes les manufactures du
pays il possedalt les chemins de
fer ct n'avait pas a les prendre), de
toutes les usines, compagnies de
transport publiques on semi-publi-
ques, voies de communication,
compagnies de telephone ou de t6-
l6grapbe, d6pots de provisions ou
deficits pouvant servir a Parm6e ou
al peuple. C;est un pas de g6ant
vers un socialisme d'Etat a peine
d6guis6, ct il est tout probable que
la guerre fnie, le gouvernement
saura conserver beaucoup des pre-
negatives que lie conAit lui per-
mis- de confsquer.
La meme chose s'est produite
en- Angleterre quand le gouverne-
ment declare certaines industries

ce moyen qu'on pu obtenir le

Fate of the GUTTER.
indianapolis News.)

The gutter is one of the best known
members of society. He gave pro-
mise of being a gutter when at the
age of IS, he vowed he would never
go to school another day.
1t looks all the persuasive power
and not little of the physical force,
which his family could summon to
induce him to change his mind. He
returned under protest, and there
fore threatened to quit often
he felt like starting something.
Finally, perhaps, in his Junior year
at high school, he fell in love with u
irl in the class above him, and left
school in order to prepare a home
SO that they could be married as soon
as she graduated. But about the
| time his job had yielded him three
monthly payments of $40 each on a
lot, he quit the girl and turned his
attention to another who was the sole
heir of parents who owned q very
good home.
About the time he had convinced
her that he was the most adorable
| man on earth, he began to take Il
| new interest in his job. and worked
| nights at the Office while another
paid the girl the attention she de-
!
tracted the attention of the mana?
| ger, and he was slated for promo
ton, but he decided to go West, where
! the opportunities were better, and
nothing was heard of him for a few
years. Visitors at his parents home
| found it convenient to neglect to in
| qure after the welfare of the absent
son, and he became an example held
| before V0nth of h0rhOOd
| as com bining in an excessive degree all
| those qualities which go to make life
a failure. He wrote regularly to his
| parents for few months. but he quit
| that and while his parents contin-
ued to write to him at extended in
| tervals, they signified their disap-
pointment by devoting more attention
| to thte welfare of the younger chill
| dren.
A friend of the family happened
| upon the gutter somewhere in the
| West and brought home the report
that he was amassing a fortune in real
estate. Soon after that the gutter
came home, and stopped at the bank
on his way from the station When
the news got into general circula-
ton. some persons were heard to re-
mark that it was very strange tina {
man with a reputation as a gutter
at home should do so we'll in other
parts, but the old gentleman across
the street, who had seen two ~cnera-
! ions make or miss their mark, was
heard to say: you never can tell.
Some keep quitting until they strike
what they want. some strike it the
first time, and others either can't quit
or are afraid to-

administering this new law, but fun
damentally 1t is so right and just that
such may be looked upon as of little
Importance.
Twenty-four states already pension
mothers and it is the experience in all
of them that 1t is not so costly to keep
orphan children at home with their
mothers, as to keep them in institu-
tons. Those who fought the bill de-
clared such legislation is paternal, I'M
American and will lead to pauperisnl.
1t is hard to sec how giving the state 5
money to mothers TO care for their
little ones is moro pauperizing than
to let institutions have il for the same
purpose. All fair minded people and
those who hope for better citizenship
will hope that the Widowed Mothers
Pension bill may prove a blessing %
the state.

Der and so light that they do not
shake the earth when they are moved
He goes so far in his dreams of freight
moving that he claims there will be
no railroads by and by.
Read the reports of railroads in
financial troubles" he says, land you
will learn that the expense of that
business is too much for the corpor-
atoms to stand. L do not pretend to
judge as to the right or wrong of their
argum ents against the government
control which keeps their incomes
down too low for their expenses. It
is only the fact that concerns me,
and you also. You never heard of an
old stage line going into the hands of
a receiver. Nor have you ever heard Of
motor-car carrier failing up. The
difference is that the railroads are TOO
large, with their centcrs of gravity
or finance-hung too high above the
ground of earning capacity. The ~
dividuals run the motortrucl1 bust
ness, and when one of them breaks
, down or fails there is not a general
smash, and the business of public SER
vice goes right along"
This man of autotrucks harlls back
to the days of irdividualism, and
claims that more instead of less of the
common carrier business of this cour-
try is to be done that way hereafter.
1t means less expense for roads in
stead of more, because there will DC
| no separate road for the trains or the
! trolley cars, and no crossings to pro-
| tect. He says the farmers believe In
| the power wagons for general as we'll

Worcester TeIegram.)


A Worcester agent of an autotruck
admits that he may be preiudiced be-
cause of his desire to sell the ma
chimes, but he has about him an air
of assurance which is infectious, if not
commanding. He is a live wire trans
uniting many currents of hustle which
make up-tod date music. He points
to steel tracks laid down in the streets,
and with wide wave of his busy
hand, says: "In few years there will
be none of these, and the noise of
laundering cars passing along the
streets will have been stilled forever
The rubber cushion will do it. Every
vehicle will wear them"
Then he goes on to tell how many
tons of freight his motor trucks have
carried in an hour to Webster, in half
an hour to Millbury, and so on about
the busy circle around Worcester, and
how many people may be carried tn e
same way when the people have
