What War Means
War means YOU.

| War means Nol.
| The ordinary view Of warfare is that
| it means the ether fellow.
The average man believes that If there
is war il will be fought by someone
else: that the money for il will be pro
vided from some obscure source that
will not directly affect him; and that, il
he desires. he may. remain an interested
spectator of an event that viii be fought
by others and paid for by others
There is another class: il is composed
of those who shout loudest for war and
have not the slightest intention OF doing
any of the fighting-either physically or
financially.
Neither of these classes should per-
nit themselves to be fooled. War means
them as well as those who rush to enhst'
None can escape.
Conscript-or draft" as it was
called in the civil war-can be made 10
take care of one class; national expenses
will take care of the others, excepting
only those whose business is made more
profitable by war.
Discussion of. war is merely dust
throwing unless at least part of the cost
is counted before the event. knowledge
of the cost will prevent nation going
to war. but at least it means something
in efficiency if nation enters war with
its eyes open.
The United States has been committed
to a definite, firm policy by its president.
The time has passed for discussion as to
The xxyisdou, of his course The president
has spoken for the American people. The
United States is at peace with Germany
and will remain so unless Germany wills
otherwise. Yet, the American people,
while hoping to avoid war with Germany,
will do well to remember, If the break
comes, that no person will be exempt
and sacrifice will be demanded from all.
With this in mind, the support OF the
president will be based upon the calm
thought of nation committed to def
mite policy and not upon ignorance OF
what war means.

Oft In the Silly night
Ere slumber's chain has bound me
Fond memory brings the light

The smiles, the tears

The words OF love then spoken;
The eyes that shone.

The cheerful hearts now broken.

Like leaves In wtntry weather,

For the benefit of such persons let me tell
curious little story in the words OF its original
narrator, German physician:

due to sail during the night, and went tran
GULLY to bed in my cabin.
About 2 o'clock I awoke and heard noise
that made me think the steamer had started.
Immediately became nauseated, which confirm
ed me I'm this idea. Soon was violently sick.
This did not astonish me at all, as attributed
II to seasckness.

the morning that the ship had not budsed, and
that the noise that had awakened me was
caused by putting freight on board.
II was so ashamed of my suggestibility that
did not even mention 1t to anybody. ] was
definitely cured Of seasickness, and was able
to make my voyage TO Chill without experienc-
ing moment OF nausea
Many other people have found II possible, by
f.rmly insisting to themselves that seasickness
Is unnecessary evil. to voyage without dis
comfort over rough seass What they have done,
anybody can do.
the mind in causing and preventing seasickness
is furnished by the singularity OF sundry
remedies that have been found efficacious by
ocean travellers.
A much extoled preventive. for example, II
the wearing OF a pair OF dark eyeglasses. This
undoubtedly has helped many persons overcome
both seasckness and the similar carsickness
sometimes experienced on railway journeys.
Others. not In vain. have pinned their faith
in the efficacy OF sheet OF writing paper
worn next TO the skin In the abdominal region
Yet there Is no physical reason why dark eye

their suggestive effect. the persons who rely on
