| the stupid censorship Of the war office
and the thick crust Of British complac-
ency and exposed the muddle in which
the country was fioundering. There
upon the government cast the blame
upon the laboring men and their drink
ing habits. And to check further fault
finding. and shut the mouths Of its
critics. the ministry took them into a
coalition cabinet which comprises the
leaders Of all parties and factions.
But England had awakened to the dis
covery that her strength really was her
weakness. that her control of the seas
and her immunity from invasion were
undoing her. She had been too busy,
too prosperous to carry on the war.
She found that the virtue she most
prided in was becoming a ruinous vice.
Her great. tree army. representing the
spontaneous uprising of her democracy,
had left the drones and shirks at home,
while II swept into its ranks skilled men
by the thousands who ought to have
remained at their work benches and
continued to be the support of their
families.
A third of the volunteers were married
men. Coal miners to the number of
10000 had left the mines for the army.
and oriy 10000 substitute workers had
appeared to take their places. Other in
dispensable industries had been stripped
in the same way And the workers who
had stayed by their jobs grew rebellious
and struck when they saw the war lift
ing the cost of living and swelling the
profits of their employers without any
increase in wages for themselves
Mark the contrast presented by France
and Germany. They did not try to bal
ance between war and peace and did
not advertise business as usual" On
the contrary. they organized wholly for
war. There martial law has reigned
alone.
In each of those countries the govern
ment controls employees and employers
alike and regulates the prices and the
distribution Of the necessaries OF life.
Every factory wheel has been doing the
work assigned it, whether 1t be making
clothes or shells. Every man was en-
rolled and has been In his place. II he
belonged to the front he was there. II
he belonged in a mine or a shop he was
there.
That is war. If such a thing must be,
But, like the eel that is skinned, the
continental nations are used to bayonet
rule. And England is not. She is only
beginning to realize that she will have

Str.ERlisE Out of the Muddle.
Already England has suspended her de-
mocracy in nearly everything except
compulsory service. She has virtually
thrown on government by party in an
effort to merge all her parties in a po-
iitical trust. And to get rid of debate
the government proionss the recesses of
Parliament.

but clung to her old ways OF doing
things. And we are all seeing how that
plan worked out. Americans at leas,
ought to withhold their smiles. For they
must remember what a sorry botch they
made of it when they tried suddenly to
form an army. not Of 100000. but of only

years ago.
Riding Two Horses.
England simply attempted to become a
military nation while remaining on a
peace basis. In vain Kipling larruped
the "hanneled fools at the wicket" and
Lord Roberts grieved to hear the country
squires object to army maneuvers be-
cause the firing scared the game.
Disdaining the conscription which every
land waited to mobilize her people by
beat of drum in the midst Of war. And
even while trying hastily to pace herself
on a war footing. she went about her
affairs as If there were no war.
Business as usual" she confidently
chuckled as she saw her rivals on the
Continent put up their shutters. Her
German rivals fed the sea and her
French rivals withdrew their trading
ships to convert them into transports.
Thus England's immense merchant fleets
were left almost without a competitor on
the lanes Of commerce
In times of peace mankind has to pay
An immense overhead charge on account
of British supremacy. First, comes the
item of ocean freights, which alone was
bringing into England before the war
from half a billion to three-quarters Of a
billion dollars a year. Next. she was re-
ceiving yearly a round billion in divi-
dends on her foreign Investments. As
she added up those huge totals together
with the prospective profits of a trade
relieved by war from German and French
competition she rubbed her hands in sat-
isfaction. The foreigners would keep her
war chest filled and she would not have
to touch her capital.
Mixing war and Peace.
With the Kaiser's submarines and Zep-
pelins raiding her shores and acting as
her most effective recruiting serseants.
she reused the patriotism of her people
and astonished the nations By enrolling
the greatest volunteer army in the HIS
tory Of the world. And all the while busi-
ness poured in on her from the corners
of the earth. ..s t-
But this mixing Of war and peace pro-
duced a military and an industrial chaos.
The army was recruited at the factn.y
gate and the pit mouth, leaving mills
and mines short handed. AT the same
time. business as usual" crowded the
manufacturers with foreign orders. leav-
ing .i.: army without munitions.
There were plenty of soldiers, but they
had nothing to night with. II was grave

But If England is to see this thing
through" voluntary service will be an
extremely doubtful support. No nation
ever has maintained a great army
through a long war withou: compul-
sorry enlistment. The French revolution
failed to do II and inaugurated the sys-
tenn of universal service by conscription.
Both the Union and the Confederacy in
the civil war failed to do IT and resorted
to drafts. For. after all. men never like
