The RED Germ of War.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

The Red Germ of War.
'1War is absolutely unthinkable to

these men can go out and kill each

If should tell this woman that she
carries the germ of war about In her
own heart she'd be Mortified and in

What is the initial germ Of war? 1t
is just one thing, race prejudice. or,
since different nations are not always
Of different races. perhaps I would
better call it national prejudice.
Hating War But Carrying Its Germ
About.
Now happen to know that this
woman has several race or national
prejudices as firmly rooted in her
heart az the oak outside my window
is rooted in the soil. Indeed more So
For I suppose hurricane might up

any cataclysm that would uproot
these prejudices from this woman's
heart.
she is as sure that certain races
and nations are inferior to her own
as she is that b comes after a in the
alphabet. She could never receive q
member of these races into her fam
lily: she could never take one AZ
friend on the some footing as her
other friends.
Now think of the warning nations.
Think of the hate between q French
man and q German, between an Eng
liehman and German, between q
Serb and an Austrian. What 10 1t but
one of these race or national pre9u-
dices run riot into a madness that Is
willing to kill to prove its superiority
Don't you think 1t would be splen-

madness is terrible and uncOnceivaole,
to make sure that we will never pc

germ from our hearts.

OF course, it is perfectly natural
that each should like his own kind q
bit the best. He understands his own
people, their virtues are virtues
which he can appreciate. their faults
are faults which he can ccnodone- With
the foreigner he has not such natural
