What nm Inch Of Rails Is

An inch of rain strikes one as very
little. But it is really a big rainfall
When an inch of rain has fallen it
means. literally, that the amount of
water descending from the sky in that
particular shower would cover the
surrounding territory to depth OF one
inch, providing of course that it did
not run away or soak into the ground.
1t means that on one acre water e.
nough to fill 900 barrels of forty-five
gallons each has fallen. This quanti-
ty of water weighs more than 10 tons.
If the rain storm covered a territory
comprising 1000 acres which would be
a very small shower, 10000 tons of
water would fall from the clouds.
Rain storms frequently cover enor-
nous areas, and often four and fivein-
ciles of water fall in one rain. In this
case the total number of tons of water
falling to the earth is clossal.-Ex-

GREETINGS

We are at an Hnexanplea crisis o
history.
Civilization is in danger. The worl'
points with scorn At the amazing out
break OF violence anoag 70 callet
Christian nations. Tweatieth centur!
States are fighting with the ferocit,
OF Huns. with the cruelty Of ancien
Rome. with the unreason of medieva
fanatics.
Never in time has such ruin, sucl
| horror been let loose ON earth In.
numbered cOrpses of men lie mangled
in the fields. Homes everywhere are
darkened. Poverty stalks In all lands
PestiIence follows.
The judgment of Christ thunders a
bove the wretched ignorance of ma
tons: "They that take the sword
shall perish by the sword"
The United States of America is the
oaly one of the great powers of the
world that is at peace.
Under your wise guidance we have
SO far avoided disastrous entangle
ments.
But how shall We use the privilege
of our fortunate isolation?
Shall we merely take advantage of
it to capture the markets of the world
and make money out of the distress
Of other nations?
We believe that you believe tha.
States are as morally bound to do
right and to act nobIy as are individ-
uals. From your public utterances we
know that you reject the pernicious
doctrine that the nations only moral
ity is expediency; its only righteous
ness force. You have often spoken of
this cOuEtry's duty to SERVE man
kind"
Is It Serving mankind" to stand a.
loof when brother nations are in ex-
tremities, or get gain from their dis
aster?
There is but one way to serve the
world at this juncture. That is to take
such steps that will eliminate the pos
sibility of future wars.
And there is but one way to do this.
1t is to begin the formation of the
Federation of the World.
1t is to substitute the Court of law
for the arbitrament of war in set
tling the disputes of nations.
1t is to have one army and one navy
under the orders of this court, whose
duty it shall be to prevent war and
not to make war, even as city police
prevent and not make street brawls.
The fundamental error is that each
nation now is the Judge and execu-
toner Of its own case. This is prac-
tical anarchy. And international an
archy is as horrid as anarchy mong
private citizens.
To continue to make treaties with
separate nations is useless so long as
each nation is its own judge, backing
up its DEGREES with its own guns. The
absurdity of this to be realized needs
only to be stated.
The Federation of the World is not

Utopian- II does ~ have 70 wait fos
the milieanuen. 1t Is practical right
nov.
1t ts not necessary 70 change human
nature" All that II needed Is to sub
stitute law for violence. This we have
already done In all civilized comnsn-
tiles and what has been accomplished
in Holland and in Ohio is feasible for
the whole world.
Some nati0a must begin the nOve-
ment This Il the nation.
We are the richest country o. the
globe. the most powerful in the re-
sources OF men and money.
We are not mixed up In any OF the
complications. jealousies nor rivalries
of the Old World.
At the close of this war We shall
have probably the naval supremacy of
the world
A proposition coming from US would
command the respectful attention of
all the earth.
We therefore earnestly petition you
to do this one thing in the name OF
that Christ whom you and we desire
to obey.
Call upon Congress to invite all ma
tions to join US in a Worid-Federation
that shall leave to each land its en-
tire independence and that shall con-
fine itself to the adjudication Of i'll
ternational disputes.
We need not wait for all to come
with us. Let US commence the Feder-
alton with any who will come in We
believe that. as the war wears on, the
European States will be glad to es-
cape from their deadlock and unite
with us.
We are not peace fanatics. We do
not stand for cowardice nor dishonor.
But we do stand for law as against
anarchy; and for an intelligent govern
ment of the world as against such gi-
gantic ignorance and folly as have led
the European nations into this sense
less wfIirlwind of waste and wicked
ness.
And you Woodrow Wilson, are the
man to act.
We elected you. We believe you want
to serve us. We believe you are listen
ing very closely to hear the will of
this great people and to do 1t, in the
fear of God.
1t is our will, and also the will of
all the peoples of earth, that war shall
cease: war, the supreme misgovern-
ment, the prime stupidity; for we
know that justice comes not from trial
of arms. and that while princes some-
times profit from war the people new
er do.
Let our Congress issue its call to all
the nations. Let it back up this in
by placing our armament
at the disposal of this Federation. Let
us spend hundreds of millions, not in
fortifying our coasts, Panama, the Phil
ipines, but perfecting the Federation.
Let us send our most representa-
tive men abroad to preach world-uni-
ty: such men as our ex-Presidents
and others whose ability and distinc-
tion entitle them to a world-hearing.
We would not SO address you did
we not believe you have the courage
the vision and the high statesmanshoip
requisite for this, SO great a matter.
Lead us! The great American peo-
pie are with you.
Proclaim the United States of the
World!
