II is an easy thing to rush into war. Any
nation can do 1t. But to stand four square
with reason, unswayed by fury, and hold
strong to peace, that any nation cannot do.
America must.
The President is not going to unleash the
dogs Of war until every recourse for peace
at his command has been exhausted. He Is
not going to make demands OF Germany that
cannot be sustained He is not going to do
any of the wild and furious things which the
passionate are urging him to do While Eu-

We are already sick with horror What
man dare advocate that multiply tenfold
the anguish? We are unprepared for war
and the national intelligence shrinks from It.
Not that we will not fight for our courage
is undisputed, but that we will not join in an
orgy of carnage until reason has exhausted
itself and there is no recourse left but arms
The temptation to leap into the abyss is
great. The provocaton is great. For weaker
causes nations have entered the lists. But
we, thank Providence. have been taught in
finer school We have learned patience and
have become skilled in self-restralnt We
know how to listen to both sides. In be-

road, stand the great majority of Americans,
willing and ready to trust the nations honor

The Great Adventure

WIE SHALL never know what was pass
w ing in the mind of Charles Frohman
when he remarked to a young woman beside
him the deck OF the sinking Lusitania
why fear death? 1t is the most beauti-
full adventure in life"
The young woman was saved and Froh-
man was lost He may or may not have
been aware of the fate before him. He may
have been trying to reassure the young
woman, or he may have been expressing the
philosophy of his life. But whatever his
purpose, he expressed the sentiment which
all philosophy and all religion have strven
to impress upon the mind.
The feeling that death does not end all Is
well nigh UNIVERSAL But exactly what is 1t
that comes after? The Buddhists say that it
is one thing, the Mohammedans another and
the Christians still a different thing But
to all it is great adventure into the un-
known, even though they may have different
theories about its nature Fear of death is
due largely to the animal instinct OF self
preservation. but the reason has overruled
that fear in many notable instances. and
men have started out on the adventurous
journey between the two worlds with a smile
on their faces and with confidence in their
hearts. There were doubtless many other
brave men on the Lusitana who would have
uttered the same views that Mr. Frohman
expressed II the listener had seemed TO nsed
reassurng.

IF YOU COULD HAVE A PERFECT DAY

II you could have perfect day
To dream of when your life were done,
Would You choose one all clear, all gay
II you could have a perfect day
The airs above the wide greenway
Sheer virgin blue with crystal sun?
If you could have perfect day
To dream of when your life were done.
Or would you have it April's way,
Haphazard rain, haphazard sum-
Divine and sordld, clear and gray,
Dyed like these hours own work and playi
All shot with stains of tears and clay,
Haphazard PAIN haphazard fun
