THE ONLY POSSIBLE PEACE.

The Germans will shortly be at Presi-

German made campaign in and out of
the American press for peace. David
Starr Jordan and others will be preach
ing. This slaughter has gone far
enough. 1t must cease; humanity de-
mands it," etc.
The American people must be prepared
for this. II will be another phase of the
German campaign in this country. Its
former manifestation was in blowing up
American munitions factories, the sink
ing of American and English ships carry
ing Americans. attempts to kill Ameri-
can bankers, fomenting strikes and all
the other acts that an alien-hearted race
can do here.
There can be no peace acceptable to
humanity until the Kaiser and his pro-
geny are put off the German throne and
his Junkers are squelched. The great
German people should be brought to real
ize this. The experience of Napoleon III,
of France and his gang should be lesson
to them. Lawrence Godkin in the New

THE BIBLE AS LITERA TURE.

As piece of literature, it stands alone
both in its antiquity and in the variety of
its contents 1t is collection of writ
ings covering period of about thou
sand years, for the oldest passages en-
bedded in the oldest books may date
from the eleventh or tenth century B. c.,
some few are probably still older,-
and the latest parts of the New Testa-
ment from the end of the first or begin
ming of the second century A. D. And
how diverse in substance and form are
the books that compose this collection!
In those that present the annals of the
people of Israel there are many passages
that are models of prose narrative
terbe, direct, exact, yet imaginative in
their forms of expression The finest of
these are found in the books of Genesis,
Numbers, Judges, Samuel, and Kings.
The story of Joseph in Egypt, those Of
Eli and Samuel, of David and Absalom,
of the consultation with the prophets be-
fore the kings of Israel and Judah went
up to Ramoth Gilead and the battle
fought there, of the last days of Eli
the prophet, his journey to the wilder
ness of Sinai, his return and contest with
the prophets of Baal, have vivid quail
ity that modern pens cannot produce.
One has to 90 for some thing of the same
order to such primitive literature as the
Homeric poems or the sagas of Iceland.
When man today tries to reproduce the
fresh and direct simplicity of early nara
tive, he is almost inevitably dr. wn into g
conscious old-fashionedness or preciosity
He is not natural, but archaic. He is ar
imitator, and imitation makes him arti
