Aspects of the War.
ny JOHN ID. BARRY.

THE war has exploded some
= popular theories. To the
saying, ain time of peace pre-
pare for war;" should be ad-
ded the words, "and you'll be
sure to get it" The greater
and the wider spread the prep
arations the more fearful the
catastrophe.

1t is not surprising that Eugene Zimmerman did
not mention his son-u-aw, the Duke OF Man
chester, in his will. Ills last advice TO The duke
was to go to the front and get shot.
The Washington herald., 1915-01-10

When an individual goes wrong it seems as if
thousand protests rose out of outraged right.
There is exactly the same result when nation
goes wrong offers mighty illustration.
Now the open way, the way of honor is closed.
From now on there must be the practice of infamy
after infamy, related to concealmcnt lying, in
trigue, seeking for advantage matter how
ignoble, the physical brutaties often outdonc by
the purely mental and physical basencss. Nations
at war, matter how righteous the war may be
in fact, in theory, in imagination, nations
abandoned to shameless and wanton debauch. The
nations engaged in the present call themselves
Christian. But Christians they not, however
much they may pray and profess in the of
Jesus Christ. If they were Christian nations they
couldn't be at war.

Another exploded theory
is that the power of the Eu-
ropean radicals could prevent
war. They have aDparentlY

been carried on the tide of enthusiasm that is one
of the most pitful and disheartening of all wars
expressions. In Germany the great number of
Socialists doubtless kept from expressing
dissent by the fear of swift and terrible punish
ment Among the allies the radicals have been
confronted with the argument that theirs is a
defensive warfare against the most determined
supporter of mtarism earth. But far beyond
all such specific appeals is the national psychology,
in its operating like the psychology of the mob.
Patriotism is in the air. 1t spreads like madness,
carrying a multitude of subtle justihcations.
"Breathes there the man with soul so dead" II
he does breathe and if he ventures to oppose the
popular clamoring he cuts himself off from the
comfort of afiating with his neighbors at time
when their need and his own make their strongest
appeal for sympathy and cooperation. 1t takes
strong mind and a stout heart for any one be-
longing to the warning nations not to stand with
his own and for his own.
The Washington herald., 1915-01-10

The war lords are, of course, keenly alive to
this psychology. They play it They use it
for their own ends In Germany it has developed
marvellous strength through the popularity Of one
word, a beautiful word, vital with feeling, and
continually echoed and re-echoed in everyday talk
in poetry and in song. What German would not
be ready to suffer and to die for the Natcrland? ?
1t is ptful to think of the close relation between
generous human sentiments and shameful, inhuman
deeds.
The Washington herald., 1915-01-10

Though physically and commercially the nations
are growing closer they still far apart. More
hopeful than this kind of growth, however, is the
growth only just begun between the workers Of
the nations the hordes at the base OF the social
structure. The Syndicalist movement is still so
young that cannot be that it will fulfil its
promises But already it has made millions alive
to the difference between the artificial and the real
distinctions among men. "Breathes there the
with soul so dead" may yet be echoed in a
nobler poem, inspiring men to deeper conscious
ness of human and economic relations. And the
deeper consciousness may arouse the workers Of
the world to the importance of destroying of
the greatest Of the artificial BARRIERS made by df
ferences in language. The confusion of tongues has
helped to maintain the power of the lords, just
as everything has helped that tends to keep BROTH
ers from knowing another the spaces
of the world. Thus far the demand for universal
language has come from the intellectuals, circum
stance that may explain why great a need has
had so discouragng response If it comes out of
the heart of the workers it may, through voicing
the universal cry of labor, sweep over the earth,
destroying the national fences the way.
The Washington herald., 1915-01-10

War madness, spreading like the plague, never
rises from the to the classes. Invariably it
runs from the classes to the masses Seemingly
the most democratic of all expressions, great
hordes of hurting themselves at other great
hordes it is really in its nature essentially aristo-
cratic.
What we all need to emphasize just now is, not
the differences among the nations and the races,
but the resemblances. The differences the
surface. The rcsemblances run down to our COM
mon humanity which, in spite of appearances just
now is not savage, but humane The soldier, led
to brutality by the war lords made drunk with
blood, is as much a madman he would be in
gross intoxication from whisky or wine. Indeed,
the two kinds of intoxicaton generally operate to-
gether If we could look into the lives of the men
now committing atrocities in Europe, we should
doubtless find that under normal conditions, they
were we'll disposed, good as the average father
and son and brother.

THE TSAMMELL AND PART Or
THE wAGaoNEn LOT SELECT
ED BY THE GOVERNMENT ON
WHICH TO ERECT THE BUILD.
ING

Mr.. N. A. higgins, agent for the
Interested parties, has received from
the postoffice department at Wash,
ington Official notification that the
site offered for the public building
by Mrs. z. B. Trammell and Mrs,
Waggoner has been accepted, and if
all details Of title. etc., are salts
factorily concluded, the transfer to
the government will be effected
within sixty days. and the site Of
the postofflce location thus definitely
settled.
The location is at the corner Of
Tennessee avenue and Lemon street,
taking In Mrs. Trammell's property
and a portion Of Mrs. waggoners.
There is frontage of 140 feet on
Tennessee avenue and 122 feet on
Lemon street. The location ID CEN
tral. convenient to all parts of the
city, and will doubtless come as near
suiting everybody as any site that
was available.
The property was offered the gov
ernment at moderate price, but 1t
is understood that subscriptions
from others who considered they
would be benefited by locating the
building on this site brought the
consideration up to a price that en-
ables the owners to receive a fair
valuation.
The purchase Of the site does not
necessarily mean that a building
will be erected at an early date. In
deed, 1t is the general opinion, based
on the usual methods Of the govern.
ment, that 1t may be some years be-
fore the new postofice will be ready
for business. especially in view of
the fact that the postal business IA
at present in satisfactory quarters
with long lease thereon. II is
hoped that by the time building op-.
erations actually begin an additional
appropriation will have been secured
In order that structure may be
erected commensurate with the
city's growth and Importance.

FURTHER RECOMMENDA-
TIONS OF GOV. TRAMMELL

Tallahassee, Fla, Feb. 15.-
Following up his announced inten-
tion to make public from time to
time a number Of the recommenda-
tions which he proposes to submit to
the legislature, which convenes in
April, Governor Park Trammell
states that he will make recommen-
dations upon the following subjects:
Libraries for Public Schools
THAT the school youth Of the
State have easy access to good books
and proper reading matter Is deemed
highly important. With a carefully
selected library in the public schools
suitable for the respective grades,
the boys and girls would be inclined
to cultivate a taste for reading the
right kind of literature and their
attention diverted from trashy read
ing to which they are often attract
ed when the better class Of books IL
not available.
"I would therefore recommend a
law making 1t the duty of the coun-
ty board Of public instruction in
each county to provide for circulat-
ing school libraries to contain not
less than fifty volumes each. the
number of libraries to be not less
than one to every ten schools and to
provide for the care Of the libraries
and the details of the circulation of
the same, and the system and rules
for use thereof might very properly
be made the duty Of the county SUI
OF public instruction.
"These libraries would cost each
county but very little. The initial
and maintenance expense would be
but a trifle compared with the great
good which they would accomplish.
Inheritance Tax Law
"a very large majority Of the
States have enacted laws providing
for a reasonable tax upon inheri-
tance. This seems to be one of the
most equitable ways by which to
raise revenue. rcommnd the
passage of a graduated inheritance
tax law, which will apply to all es-
tates Of more than a certain amount,
to be fixed by law.
Require Officers to Pay Over Public
Funds Promptly
"All money belonging to the State
or a county when paid to an officer
should be promptly paid over to the
public treasury. No officer should
be allowed to hold the public funds
for an indefinite period. I would
suggest the enactment of a law re :
quiring that all officers collecting
public funds shall pay the same to
the proper oficer within ten days
after the first day Of the month next
the month OF receiving
same, with the penaty Of removal
for a failure to comply with the
law"

Better than anyone. my dear

putation Of gangrenous toe, and
the strain Of Loncin nas ruined my
health. was, al you know, very
well and strong when war came. but
at 63 years of age the tissues are not
so elastic as they once were to stand
such a strain.
consequently, quite aside from
the fact that my wounded toe has
not yet healed, I suffer from diaoetic
and cardiac troubles.
Everybody can understand that
the thought Of dying IN captivity
me, but I hope my end Is
not yet at hand. My heart was with
you and all other Belgians on the
kings birthday, as you must know.
