The Great War will come 10 it,
end some time. through exhaust
ion. through failure Of finance.
through starvation or through sor-
row. Tor every nation engaged Is
already a nation of mourners.
There Is little prospect that the
war will end with any victory az
arms Il may te that Jean de
Bloch was right. The armies Of
today with their hundred OF miles
OF battle front are too large to be
Unanswered. The giant guns and
swift instruments OF murder bal
anee one another. Already the
chief force OF the war is directed
against non-combatants. Little
headway has been made BY either
side In those features OF wa-.
which men who condone war have
deemed legitimate. Except for
the crushing OF Belgium. who had
no part IN the quarrel. the Ger
man armies have accomplished
nothing. Except for parrying the
stab at France. the Allies have
made az little Roadway. The strug-
gle for oil wells in Galicia and IN
Alsace Is directed towards acces-
series OF war. IL Is not war itself.
And in all this. the n6n-combat-
ants have suffered even more
than the armies.
The warfare at sea on both
sides is directed mainly against
the property of private citizens.
The raids on seaside resorts, the
capture OF merchant ships. the
whole matter of war zone. block
ade and food contraband is direct
ed against those who have no way
of striking back.
Let us assume that there will
be no victory on either side, but
That all nations concerned will
ind themselves defeated. Then
VIII come the Treaty OF peace.
The real work OF civilization will
begin. Then comes the test OF
our mettle. Can we build up a
solid foundation of peace amid
the havoc OF greed and hate. The
war settles nothing. Construct
i've work belongs 40 peace. and u
may take fifty years TO put Eu-
rope in order. When the killing
is stopped whether permanently
or only for a breathing spell. the
forces OF civilization must mob
ilize for law and order.
There are man ythings we want
to make our civilization stable
and wholesome. Every one OF
these will help. We will push on
when we can. We want foreign
exploitation limited by law and
justice. We want TO see diploma
cy and armies no longer placed al
the back of Adventures. We want
no more red rubber" red copra
or red diamonds. We want open
diplomacy and We want democ-
racy. Whatever is secret is cor
rupt. and the control of the ar
mics by a select few makes them
a menace to the many.
The people who pay and die
should know what they pay for
and why they are called upon TO
die. We want all private profit
taken away from war. We want
to see armies and navies brought
down from the maximum OF ex-
penses TO the minimum OF safety.
We want TO see CONSUMPTION abol-
ished and military service put on
the same basis a. other trades.

armies and navies to do. We
want to do away with piracy at

To Protect States Wards.

Insurance Commissioner Ekern of
Wisconsin has sent letter to each
member of the legislature urging i'm
mediate action to protect life and
property against the fire hazard in
the state charitable and penal insti-
buttons. A bureau recommended the
installation OF sprinkler equipments,
especially in the hospitals for the in
sane at Oshkosh and Mendoza.
The commissioner said 1t was
cheaper to make Improvements than
to pay fire losses and the families and
friends Of the helpless inmates had a
right to ask that their lives be made
safe from the dangers Of fire
