The Mockery Of It All.

We wish it were possible to collect
and preserve the first thought Ct
each one Of our readers when the
following facts come home to them.
1t is a fact that while the great ma
tons Of Europe are mercilessly
trampling under foot and laying
waste almost every square mile OF
Poland, they are appealing to the
world for aid for their victims. Lis
ten to the combined statement Of
conditions and appeal for world help
for the Poles from England-that
ten million Poles need food. And Il
famous English philanthropist says:
Il hear that Americans are rallyins
to aid the Poles, and know that their
needs will be supplied when the
world realizes how terrible is their
plight"
But the slaughter and the devasta-
ton does not cease; it is worse today
than yesterday, and will be worse to-
fact that millions Of innocents who
did not and do not want war are
homeless and starving.
France gives out word to the world
that a thousand Polish villages
have been destroyed.
While asking world pity for suffer.
ing Poland and praying that their
victims be fed and warmed and
clothed. the war nations proceed 20
kill and MAIN and raze.
From Berlin comes the German ex =
preston of pity for Poland:
A picture of indescribable desolation-
with fully 10000 houses destroyed, thou
sands of peasants homeless and living in
holes in the ground, absolute cessation
of any kind of work that shall provide
for a fall harvest-is drawn in the re-
ports now reaching here from Russian
Poland.
Three-quarters of Poland has been hit
by the war. and damage estimated at
1000. 900 rubles, or 100000 900. has been
done. Practically all the cattle and horse
flesh in the country have been carried
off.
The homeless thousands have scooped-
out burrows in the ground, in which they
now live in lack of anything approachi
sanitation. Only in isolated Instances,
where their priests have been able to
exert the proper influence, has any move
been made by the people to safeguard
themselves against the future.
Did you catch the mockery of that
last entence?-"Moves to safeguard
themselves!"
God Of mercies! How safeguard,
with millions of ruthless warriors
from several Of the most powerful
nations. sweeping forward and back,
grinding the helpless into blood-mu1
and consuming every morsel of food
and every ounce of fuel in their path
way?
How does it strike you-these ap-
peals for aid for Poland from Berlin
and London and Paris and Petro-
grad?
Car Nicholas says: "Poland's peo-
pie are innocent victims, and only
the prompt generosity of all nations
will save her people,"
But what is innocence when the
ambitions of Militarism and it's twin
imp Of Hades, Commercial Su-
premacy, are at stake?
Christendom mistakes a little pity
for much love- and the cooperation
expected Of the brotherhood of man
is spelled c-o-m-p-e-t-i-t-i-o
