Europe's Gloomy Outlook.
From the Cincinnati Enquire,

IoII lIIC ILII4dlISI.
Two years more of war in Europe and
the continent will become as Mexico In
order and in finance. and it is the realiza-
ton of this that caused the recent warm
ing from a we'll known English journal as
to revolutionary chaos being but a brief
period of time distant Ii war continued.
AT the present rate of expenditures
money standards OF value cannot be long
maintained, and when currency values
weaken and food and other values con
tinue to rise. with millions Of men for
merly producers busy destroying and con-
stantly consuming. Europe will be face to
face with conditions akin to those of the
French revolutionary period.
The United States can then neither feed
nor nance bankrupt Europe, and IL ever
there was a continent rushing into bank
ruptcy 1T is that continent today.
Moratoriums don't pay debts; they but
| postpone. delay and endanger such pay
| ments. Issuing treasury notes doesn't pay
debts of the nation. Selling national
bonds doesn't pay debts of the country.
Suuandering the proceeds of government
! loans upon devastating wars and calling
for subscriptions for new loans, is not any
sounder finance In Great Britain. France,
Germany. Russia. Italy or Greece than 1t
is in San Domingo or Mexico.
The European countries may stand 1t a
little longer by reason Of greater re-
| sources. but it is a waste of capital and
resources that means ultimate bank
ruptcy. commercial and financial chaos,
If prolonged.

underneath 1T. o can see the strong
u of great ideals.
1t would be impossible for men to
go through what men are going through
on the battlefields OF Europe and strug-
gle through the present dark night OF
their terrible struggle IL 1t were not
they saw. or thought that they saw. the
broadening or light, where the morning
should come up, and believed that they
were standing each on his side OF the
contest for some eternal principle OF
right.
Then. all abou them, all about us,
there sits the silent, waiting tribunal
which Is going to utter ultimate judy
ment upon this struggle. h great tri,
bunal OF the opinion of the world; and
1 fancy I see. l hope that I see. ! pray
that 1T may be that I do truly see. great
spiritual forces lying waiting for the
outcome OF his thing to assert them
selves. and asserting themselves even
now. to enlighten our Judgment and
steady our spirits. Nc man is wise
enough to pronounce judgment, but we
can all hold our spirits In readiness to
accept the truth when 1t draws on Us
and is revealed to us i'm the outcome OF
this titanic struggle.
You will see that 1t is only In such
general terms that one can speak In the
midst OF a confused world, because. as
l have already said, no man has the
key to This confusion. No man can SEQ
the outcome. but every man keep
his own spirit prepared to contribute to
the net result when the outcome dis
plays itself"

you take the best lot of young men,
all church members. II YOU please, and
put them into an army. and let them in
wade the enemy's country and live upon II

ually lose all principle and self-restraint

Quoting these words of General Sher-
man. Carl Schurz comments. in his Rem
tniscences VOL Ill. p.lS3:
The sayings of such a man as General
sherman on the effect of war upon the
morals of the soldiers themselves may be
commented to the sober CONCENTRATIONS of
those who so glibly speak of war as a
great moral agency. how war kindles in
the popular heart the noblest instincts and
emotions of human nature: how ii lifts Il
people above the mean selffshness of daily
lre, how II stops the growth of the vile.
groVeling materialism.' which Is apt to
develop into a dominant tendency in a long
period of peace: how 1t turns the ambi-
ions OF men into ann of generous en-
thusiasm and lofty aspirations. and how
1t Is simply a bath of fire from which hu-
man society issues cleansed of it's drosS
OF low propensities, refreshed I'm its best
energies and more ardent than ever in de-
voted pursuit of its highest ideals.

GREAT IDEAS BACK OF
WAR DECLARES WILSON
President Says Nobody Can Judge Which Side Is Right Until
Victory Is Won and Results of Titanic Struggle Writ
ten Upon Pages of History.

Washington. ID. c.. Special: In a
kpeech before the Maryland annual con-
ference of the Methodist Protestant
church in session here. President Will
son said 1t was his belief hat no man
was wise enough to pronounce judg-
ment on the European war at this
time.
But" he added, we can all hold u
spirits i'm readiness TO accept the truth
when 1T is revealed to us in the outcome
of this titanic struggle"
The president reminded the delegates
that in ~transacting the business of the
church they were like the men In charge
of the nations government. In reanty
handling the phases of the day"
You are handling the affairs OF the
church as they stand under The treat
ment of the men OF your generation.
he said. Back of them lie the eternal
principles which you are trying to ex-
emplify in the life OF the work; back
OF us here in the government lie the
eternal principles of Justice and
righteousness. which. In my conviction
at any rate, we do not derive from our
selves. but from the same source from
which a great church derives Its IN
spiration and sway.
1T seems to me that it was worth
saying something like this: These are
days of great perplexity. when a great
oud of trouble hangs and brOods over
the greater part of the world. 1t seems
as IL great blind material forces had
been released which had for long been
held in leash and restraint. Yes. and

windows: it sobbed mournfully the old
funeral hymn: Asleep in Jesus. Blessed
Sleep" 1t was proud to do that last mel
though It's spirit was almost breaking as 1t
sang.
And so the years went, and the old
sweet old tunes. and the sweet old ways.
The square piano became ''old-fashioned'
and Its spirit out of tune with modern
erty came to 1t. II sank lower and lower
i'm the social scale until 1t became an out
cast, a shabby relic of better days. with
rheumatic joints and keys that ratified.
1t was time to mingle it's ashes with the
dust of the earth.

Step Toward Reduced Rates.

But should this condition be brought
about, it nevertheless will be long
step toward ultimate reduction of
rates SO far as the private consumer
is concerned. With the power COM
panys earnings increased, the com
mission. after it completes the valua-
ton now being tablished upon the
company's holdings, may be in Il posi-
ton to order cheaper rates for the
snail user of current. In short, adj
justment of relations between the rail-
way company and the power concern
is but a preliminary step to consider
alton of the general question of rates.
1t is expected that the valuation work
will be completed by November, but it
probably will be next year before the
commission can issue any rate orders
as regard general consumers. The COM
mission will have to consider a vast
amount of data and hearings will have
to be held before the valua tons can be
legally established and rates based
upon the valuations ordered.
