There is another important point. The idea
that men had in ancient times OF love became.
as centuries passed, modified. less animal. less
brutal more tender.
I recall a referendum which = French femi-

sentiment regarding love- It placed the prob
TEN before the women In the form of a par.
able which my American readers will recog'
nise a variation of Frank R. Stocktons
story, THE Lady or the Tiger" a story which
has never been familiar to French people.
An Eastern king, SO the story went. discov.
with a man Of low condition. The father felt
very angry. but he concealed his rage because
he was aware of the obstinate temper of his
daughter. There was an arena in his country
where combats between wild beasts and be-
tween gladiators were held. At these spec.
tacles the daughter was always present by
these entertainments was held. the king
turned to his daughter and said:
Il have learned OF your fondness for man
who is not worthy of you. Understand that

decide his fate. He will come into the arena

Out OF twelve hundred answers received
no one admitted that she would open the door
behind which the wild beast was concealed.
Eleven hundred and nine women said that
they would choose for their lover happiness
with another woman. although they would
suffer all the torments OF jealousy. The ninety
one remaining answers gave q more unex-
pected solution of the problem They said
that the princess. having only the choice be-
tween her own unhappiness and that of her
lover. should have killed herself and thus
avoided making any choice.
With the answers the review stated the
choice which, according to ancient chroniclers,
the princess of the old legend had actually
made. She had preferred to see her lover
devoured by the l'cn rather than to know him
happy with anot 3er while she was
whitening away and growing old in solitude.
The modern solutions of this old story show
that no longer does anybody believe that

that one can condemn her or him to death for
the sake OF ones own desires. The modern
heart rises in Mortified revolt at this idea. and

parative solidarity of racial blood-even then
the origin of our people had much to do with
their political opinions
But it is presentday conditions which mako
Macaulays analysis prophetic and point to the
mighty task before us-a task which is primal
and which will take decades to perform. That
task IS the hard but sublime labor of making
a national solidarity, American entity, indie
pendent of and different from that of any other
nation or country, not in the sense that 1t IS
our duty or even interest to hold aloof from
other peoples from which we sprang-on the

is to trample under feet the thought that

that just because each of these racial and
religious units Of our people have the courage

pacity to be still more true to that great de-
mocracy, the American people.
1t will take long time to achieve this In

What now is coming? What, If do not

glory? All who are not blinded by blood-lust
cannot fail to it. Let the big fact of con-
temporaneous world events instruct US:
For long time it has been the habit Of Occi
dental peoples to say that the Oriental peo-
pies were sleeping. But is It not more accu.
rate to say that they have been resting? To-
day the yellow races being marshalled

Every student is familiar with the fact that
science, literature and art were already old in
China and Japan when the forbears Of those
who now boast of world leadership were, in
truth well as in name, barbarians.. Olive
Schriner truly said that the eternal analogy
holds and that everything is like everything
else. A man becomes exhausted and must
rest, and then does good work again: a field
is drained of its fertility. and then must rest
to bloom forth in new luxuriance. A race
achieves great things, and then declines, but
only to rise once more. Italy Is an example

May not Asia. the cradle of human learning

Add now to this fact that. bad as It seems
the law of nature. China was masterful when
she was militant; and that the war-like blood
runs hot IN Chinese veins has long been plain
to the observer of that wonderful people who
studied them on the ground.
Thirty years ago that white man would have
been scoffed and scorned who predicted

East Only yesterday the overthrow OF the
Chinese dynasty was accomplished by such
fierce fighting as the present wa: has not yet
