A Notable Family Affair
In North Detroit

The Ingleside Club, the interesting So
cia project of the North End, will not be
domiciled in its handsome new building
until next May; so it came down town,
450 strong, Saturday night, to inaugu-
rate the series of social and civic events
that are to be the outstanding features
of its activities.
We have seen the multiplying of mems
clubs and of women's clubs until it has
become necessary to organize boy scouts
to find father and campfire girls to sit up
for mother.
The Ingleside Club is the first get to-
gether movement. 1t takes in the entire
family. In the bosom of this community
household the fathers and mothers can
express themselves unreservedly about
the bettering of their city.
This was foreshadowed by the explicit
utterances of the Ingleside members.
men and women, who spoke at the first
dinner.
Condemnation of the liquor traffic and
endorsement by name of an adventure
in clean journalism are sentiments quite
foreign to the forthputtings of the aver
age club; but they seemed to be the nat
ural and expected deliverances in a fam
ily atmosphere.
Feminine cleverness and Wit, as re-
vealed in the arrangements for this in
itial function and in the sparkling con-
tributions to the post-prandial discus
sions, formed happy augury of what
may be looked for in the patriotic COM
radeship of gifted men and women for a
finer community spirit and better civic
order, under the stimulus of the Inglesidc
club.

The American Mother Sees
No Holiness i'm the War

Mrs. e. J. Baxter, of Windsor, Spartan
Mother, secretary of the local chap
ter, Daughters of the Empire, voices
noble sentiments from her point of view
when she says: 1--WE have drawn the
sword to defend the rights of the weak,
the liberty of the many" etc. She goes
on to say that to "sheathe the sword be-
fore the ends are achieved is to render
useless the sacrifices of countless lives
already laid down."
No one can doubt the sincerity and
heroic self-sacrifice embodied in these
words.
Why should the mothers of the United
States, then, refuse to attain these lofty
heights? Mothers are mothers the world
over. The reply is very simple:
In the first place the women who
form the Women's Peace party of
America do not believe that this war is
being carried on for the lofty purpose
Of defending the rights of the weak
and the liberty of the many"
They do not believe that if it is allow
ed to go on to finish ANYTHING will
be settled and that it will mean IAN
end of war for all time"
The women of this party believe that
the time is long past when good can
come out of the slaughter of millions of
innocent men on battlefields, and that
the only result of such indulgence will be
more slaughter, more lust for blood,
more warfare until Europe and possibly
at last the world, will well nigh de-
stroy itself.
In the sixteen months of war nothing
has been gained and nearly everything
has been lost.
What have Germany, England, France,
Russia that they did not have before !?
Some devastated territory in Poland
some taxes wrested from Belgium; a
roadway through Serbia for Germany.
For England, France and Russia, what
On the other hand, what have they
lost? The young manhood Of their coun-
tries; the vigor which makes for the
health, prosperity and happiness of ma
4 tions; thriving towns and cities now in
ruins; despoiled fields; stoppage of COM
merce and threatened starvation; bodies
mangled minds unsettled; homes in
ashes; black ruin everywhere, and no
ray of light.
If this war Is permitted to go on, 1t
may mean almost the annihilation Of
: Europe, and to what end2
A long enough truce to recuperate
sufficiently for more deadly militarism
\ than before.
This is what the Women's Peace
party of America believes and this is
/ why it feels> that every hour wasted is
4 merely sacrificing thousands of lives to
Il an Unsuitable Moloch which will devour
as long as there is aught to devour but
which, in the end, is capable of settling
nothing.
Seen from this point Of view, Mrs.
Baxter would no doubt be fair enough to
realize that the purpose of the women
OF the United States in their efforts to
. bring about peace is quite as noble as is
the purpose of the women of Canada in
q sending forth their young sons TO this
\ Infamous and futile war.

These facts were made public yestrr

1t was said that the government ar
preciated the loyalty which prompted
the men to enlist, but it is as necessary
that the coal supply be kept up to

troops at the front. Consequently 1t
had decided on the plan to continue the
men at work until they were called.
