Relief for SCOTS Addition

IT is impossible to withhold sympathy for
the plight OF those citizens Of SCOTS Nd
dition and contiguous sections who plead
With the Administrative Board to furnish
them with water supply and sewerage
facilities.
The recent annexation 10 the city OF. so
much new territory presented a serious prob
lem. 1t is natural that the residents OF
every annexed district should feel most keen
ly and resent most bitterly the Inconvenience
OF their special situation. and insist that first
attention should he paid TO them.
Everything, obviously, cannot be done at
once. Relief should be provided first how
ever, to those sections most in need Of It, If
the SCOTS Addition folks are not overstating
the facts they would seem TO fall within

Glory OF War Is Passing

wv HEN the Peace Celebration Convention
w met In this city in December, 1913.
ITS members were in highly optimistic frame
Of mind regarding the chances OF world peace
They came together to provide for a fitting
observation Of the century anniversary of
peace between Great Britain and the United
states, just commemorated here in the spirit
of fast rather than OF festival But the
convention of December 1913 felt that the
end of war might be at hand, and there were
no premontions OF the terrific struggle to-
wards which the world was even then
hurrying
1t is refreshing to note that amidst the
wreck or such hopes some peace advocates
refuse to be cast down. The trustees OF the
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
have just issued q statement on the Europran
war, in which they argue earnestly against
disbursement. They say: THE war itself
is teaching the gospel of peace through a
lesson so shocking and so terrible that the
most indifferent cannot fail to attend and
understand it,"
This is true. One of the chief difficulties in
curling the war spirit In the past has been
