in States directly involved. The Suffrage
Association suspended its political work
and its collection of signatures to peti-

the case of the English Suffrage Asso-
Citations. They are naturally giving great
attention to the food supply, on which
such strain has been placed by the in

the profoundest cause of the war was

Democracies may hurl themselves in
to a war 1t is the tremendous selfish
interests, the terrible passions, the
unreasoning hatreds of mon that
break out into the fury of war. Let
us therefore not be righteous,
let us be fair, even as we are sym
pathetic towards the unfortunate peo-
pie of Europe that are engaged in
this, that greatest war of history

the war today is there because it
wished it. If it willed to be out Of

| And this will and this wish, prepared

brought on the conflict. This is the
tragic irony of human Limitation and
contradiction in life. A nation cannot,
should not remain unprepared. 1t is
a crime for any nation to leave ITSELF
unprotected, exposed to the arbitrary
might of any other nation. And yet,
man becomes the victim of his own

possible that any spark will explode
