Sowing The Seeds of Peace.

'The great opportunity of America, ,"
says Jane Addams, lis to utilize the immi-
grant population to form humanitarian
public Sentiment so strong that it will make
itself felt in the utmost parts of the earth"
Coming from the chairman of the Inter-
national Congress of Women, the words are
worth thought
And according to Miss Addams' own &C
count of the prevalent attitude of the alien
population in Chicago, it is easy to encour-
age such sentiment. 1t already exists to
a surprising extent. When Boy Scout
company was organized in one of the poorer
sections of the city, the Russian Jews with
drew their boys and would have nothing to
do with it, because the training seemed to
SAVIOR slightly of militarism.
"We came to America, said the Rus
slams, Ito get rid of this mlitarism. We
don't want our boys contaminated with the
military drill"
"We got one proof after another" /"
adds Miss Addams "that the various peo-
Piles were prejudiced against militarism.
In this present war we realize that never be-
fore has the brutality of war so revealed it
SELF" And she concludes that now, while
immigrants and children of immigrants are
intensely interested in every phase of the
European war, 1--WE should take advantage
of this opportunity to forge public opinion
that will be much more international than
could be wrought by any other nation in
the word"
The schools particularly offer facilities
for driving home the lesson. 1t is likely
that the American public school, properly
and neutrally utilized for this purpose,
would prove to be the most powerful of all
factors for the promotion of universal peace.

1865 Memorial Day 1915

Half century ago this nation awoke
saw the daybreak of peace North and
south the news of Lees surrender was well
comed-in the former section as the success
full outcome of the long struggle for the pre-
servation of the Union, in the latter as the
inevitable end which had ben foreseen for
months if not for years. Day by day the
superior northern forces had welded their
iron ring around the Confederacy, crushing
resistance with ver-powerngly superior
forces.
Throughout the land on the humming
wires of the then recently invented telegraph
went the tidings Lee has surrendered" TO
be followed by the thought in every mind,
"The war is over" No official notification
verified this popular verdict, since the war
did not end officially for many months, and
fighting took place in Texas in May. But
both north and south recognized that Lee s
surrender meant the downfall of the Con-
federacy. In the latter section of the
country the news was received in fearful
gloom, and preparations began for saving
what might be snatched from the holocaust
of defeat. In the north everywhere! were
spontaneous, exhuberant outbursts OF Joy,
and preparations were begun for the time
when Johnnie" should come marching
home again" In both north and south de-
vout persons thanked God for the coming OF
peace after the long years of war.
"The war is over Throughout the
breadth of the north this was the jubilant
cry with which people greeted one another
on the morning of April ID, 1865" says Ida
