vcyed him across the channel, has been

their terrible exposure"
CAUSES GREAT ANXIETY
IN THE PUBLIC MIND
The sinking of the Anglia. although
the first case in the war OF a hospital
ship meeting disaster while carrying
wounded, has caused great anxiety in
the public mind. as it had been sup
posed that the English Channel was en-
tirely free of danger from mines
The newspapers indulge in much

The crew OF the Lusitania gave vivid
details OF the disaster. according to
which. after terrific explosion, the
bows Of the Anglia seemed to melt
away until the sea Tapped her rails.

therefore precautions with respect
thereto are 'unwise and needless.
There are others among us
who are too intelligent and clear
sighted not to see the facts and
to realize their significance, but
who counsel inaction because they
mistrust themselves and the ma
ton"
Garrison goes on to assert that
a reasonable preparedness is real
ly preventive of militarism, and
that 1t is in keeping, and not
counter to, the national tradi-
lions.
Following a detailed argument
to back up these statements, he
outlines the army plan recon-
msnded by President Wilson in
his annual message.
If the Continental army plan
does not succeed, he adds, some
form of compulsory service will
be made necessary.

Thousands of homeless are be-

stroyed. The militia. is in con-

The boom town, started by the
Dupont powder, people, owes its
disaster to the overturning of an
oil stove In a boarding house.
An unknown negro was lynched
for footing and considerable dis
order followed the fire. n
The fire was controlled before
1t reached the powder plant. Au-
thorities scout the idea that tho
fire was the result of anti-AmerL
can sentiment.

Then, too, there is an inspira-
ton In the earnestness and UNI
selfishness of a man of large
wealth who is controlled by his
heart instead of his pocketbook.
Health and safety to those who
sail; they are in search Of some
thing more precious than the
golden fleece. Success attend
them!
One phase of the subject
has not been sufficiently con-
sidered, namely, the RIGHT
of the neutral nations to
bring moral pressure to bear
upon the belligerents to state
the terms upon which peace
can be restored. The Hague
convention expressly declares
that an offer of mediation
shall not be regarded rs an
unfriendly act. On the con-
trary, 1t is specifically en-
Outraged on the ground that
humanity, as q whole, is in
terested in stopping a war.
But the right of the neutral
nations to urge peace rests on the
ground of material interests as
well as on the ground of human
fly. They are bearing burdens
of taxation which would not be
necessary but for the war; do
nestle questions are being subor-
dinated to issues raised by the
war; every neutral nation is In
danger of being dragged into the
war and some are almost forced
into 1t.
In each nation the financial
vultures who live on the woes of
their country are using the war
as an argument in favor of in
creased expenditures on prepar-
edneSs. Whyshould the nations
at war obstruct the highways of
the world, interfere with neutral
trade and endanger the lives OF
those who travel? All the neutral
nations suffer. and those who
suffer have a right to complain.
The president proposed
mediation | m m e diately
after the war began, but
that was 16 months ago.
! regret that he does
not see his way clear to
make the offer again.
The smaller nations
wait on this nation and I
fear the president has
been deceived as to the
wishes Of the people.
There are big corporations In
this country that are financially
Interested in the continuance of
the war-corporations that !, sell
ammunitions at an enormous pro-
fit and corporations that float
war loans at a high rate, and
these corporations speak through
metropolitan newspapers.
The masses have no voice ex-
cept as they speak through Off.
cials elected by them or through
petitions. They should communi-
cate Immediately and frequently
with their representatives.
In politics the fear of the peo-
pie is the beginning of wisdom;
the people can easily control
congress II they will only speak
to congress in sufficient numbers.

It cannot be dealt with on
