WAR BABIES AND WAR.

The women here and in England
who describe the "war-baby' agita-
ton as idle, hysterical, exaggerated,
and mischiexous may err on the side
of Indifference. but they at least are
willing to look facts in the face.
Along with some admirable human
qualities, war develops train Of
evils, and this is only one of them.
Tragic as is the battlefield, it is
the best part of war. Even there all
is not heroic, as stragglers from ev-
cry fight fully attest To bring
great armies into conflict, however,
there must be months in camp, and
there never was a great military
camp that was not more demoraliz-
ing than many battle. What Brit
ain sees now is some of the evils Of
the camp.
In the course of time it will wit
ness other sorrowful proofs that war
let's loose every wicked passion that
is known to men. Grief for the dead
will soon be assuaged, the MANNED
will presently be objects of little in
terest, but the tens of thousands
broken in health, victims Of bad hab-
its and unsettled in their ideas of
life and industry will be visible ev-
erywhere, in business, in politics, in
government, in society and in the
church, war will leave marks of cor
ruption that may never be obliterat-
ed.
Although fifty years have passed
since the close of our civil strife. we
are still paying the price in many
ways We take pride in our
strengthened. nationality and our
progress in wealth and commerce,
and say that the war was worth all
that it cost, but that is not to admit
that those who brought the struggle
upon us were not chargcable with an
offense against mankind that is
wholly incalculable.
Soldiers who have seen service
sometimes talk of battle, but rarely
of the camp, the march and the
trench. The glamour of war, as
Britain is now finding out, rests not
so much upon heroic armies in ac-
ton as upon nations stripped of
morals and stepped in excuses;
upon peoples who have lost their
bearings, and upon governments.
that yield to greed and graft.-New
York World. ~

THE CANAL DEFICIT.

During the first eight months OF
it's use the Panama Canal earned
about 100000 and expended
enough more than that to make a
deficit of about 100000. This is
considerably less than the prelim-
mary calculations indicated, so that
even if times were normal there
would still be room for congratula-
ton, but times are not normal.
There are now in the hands of the
warning nations of Europe more
than 500 ships held as prizes or for
the prize court and this does not be-
gin to tell the story of the interfer-
ence with trade which the war has
caused. All of the ships of Germany
and Austria which might be using
the canal are tied up, while the
ships that are free to sail are meet
ing heavy pressure of business de-
veloped by the war. Shipowners are
not thinking of developing new
routes through the canal now, but
that will come when the war is done
and then it will be possible to get a
clear view of canal finances. There
can be no doubt that it will be pleas
ing ts1r t.ftNt
