After the War, What?
Havelock Ellis, Answers?

After the war, what? That is the
problem of greatest interest to SOciO-
1ogists, and many divers answers have
been given. DR.. HaveIock Ellis, the
English scientist, sees the solution of
the great problem of the future in
the esta blishment of an international
court, and that is the aim, he insists,
which all friends of humanity must
have clearly in view when this strug-
gle is decided.
DR.. Ellis was born in Surrey fifty
seven years ago today, Feb. 2, 1859.
He came of a sea-going family, and
his youth was spent largely on the bill
lows. AT the age of sixteen he be-
came a school teacher In Australia,
and at twenty returned to England to
study medicine. He soon abandond
the practice of that profession to de-
vote his time and talents to the
study of those sociological and sexo-
logical problems in which he became
a recognized authority.
DR.. Ellis sees in the present ga
great triumph for all those in all
countries who regard rnilitarism as
upon war as, at the worst, an in
evitab1e necessity quite compatible
with the best interests of mankind
AS to the duties of the friends of
peace, he says: t"That triumph of
nilitarism must be short lived and
see to it that the reaction is so sharp
and severe that ni1itarism will never
be able to hold up it's head in the
world again.
''Preparedness,' does not appeal to
DR.. Ellis as way for prevent :ng
war. Suppose he inquiries, 'fthat
every householder were compelled to
prvide himself with sert of bur-
glars implements; to keep them al
ways ready for use; to replace them
constantly by the latest new devices,
and to spend much time in thinking
out the best methods of burglari ously
entering his neighbors' houses-are
we really to believe that this is the
best way to guard against burglary :?
IF any one really believed that such
q, method, when adopted by nations,
is the best way to prevent war, he
will now be able to believe it no
longer. After this war, any one who
puts forth so supplemented a no
ton will only meet with ridicu1e. Mil

G. e. SOCIETY.

The first Young Peoples Society of
Christian Endeavor was organized in
WilIiston Church, Portland, Maine, by
Rev. Francis E. Clark thirty-fve years
ago today, Feb. 2, 1881. From one
small society in the Maine metropolis
the organization has expanded until it
now has nearly $4,000 societies, with
a membership of four millions in the
United States, Canada, Australia, Great
Britain, India, Japan and all mission
airy countries. The societies exist in
about the same proportions in all the
leading evangelical denominations.
Each society is an integral part of
some church, and is in no sense. out
side or independent of the church. It's
motto is For Christ, and the Church."
and it's main purpose5is to make young
people loyal and efficient members of
the church. DR. Clark. the founder of
the society, has remained at its head
throughout the thirty-f1ve years of its
existence. The first Christian Endeav-
or Society in England was established
in 1887, and the movement has since
assumed almost much importance

MUNITIONS SHOPS
GOAL OF RAIDERS
In AERIAL ATTACK

Berlin, Feb. 2-Rumors have cir
culated here that the Zeppelin raid
on England on Monday night was in
reprisaI for the Baralong affair, but
The Associated Press correspondent is
assured in authoritative quarters that
the attack did not come under that
head 1t is stated that the Midland
section of England was selected for
the raid because it is the center of
the, munitions industry and because
Liverpool lis the center of England s
commerce and that there was a puF-
pose to bring home to the people of
Great Britain the fact that the boast
ed defenses of London do not avail
against Germany's aircraft and it was
intended also to interfere with the
preparations being made in England

operations in France and Flanders.
The admiralty office has no further
details to give out regarding the raid
in addition to those already publish
ed, but it reiterated the positive state
ment that not a single one of the raid
ing zeppeIins was injured.

New Law Has Created An
Efficient Military Unit.

Last FRIDAY marked the first ami
versary of the signing by President
Wilson of the bill to create the Coast
Guard from the them existing Reve-
Cutter Service and Saving
Service. Prior to that time the per-
sonnet of the United States Life-Sav-
ing Service was in a deplorable con-
dftion, owing to the failure of the
Government to provide a retired list
for the men of this hazardous and
humanitarian branch of the public
service.
with no provision made for their
care in old age, and without a pen
sion system. these brave men had be-
come discouraged; many of the crews
consisted of men who were physical
1y unfit, either on account of age or
disabilities incurred from exposure;
many vacancies existed in the crews
because the right kind of men would
where such inadequate provisions
were made for their future welfare in
case of injuries or permanent inca
pacity.
Congress had been appealed to time
after time to remedy the existing con-
ditions, and Notwithstanding that all
large municipalities provided pen
sions for the police and hremen, the
Federal Government steadfastly de-
cIined to do anything for its corps of
Hfe-savers. Finally the happy expe-
-dient Of combining the Life-Saving
Service with it's parent branch, the
Revenue Cutter Service, into the
Coast Guard, and making the latter a
part of the military arm of the gov
eminent, was proposed. This met
the hearty approval of the President
and the Secretary of the Treasury
and both sent strong recommended
lions to the Congress to enact the nee
essary legislation. The cause was so
Just, and the need SO imperative, that
but little opposition was met within
either branch of Congress.
The result has been most salutary;
injured, diseased and elderly men
have been placed on the retired list;
younger and physically sound men
have been put in their places, and the
sis, made so attractive that there is
but little difficulty in filling vacancies
as rapidly as they occur.
From military aspect the Gov
eminent is a great gamer, as it now
has a corps of about four thousand
five hundred officers and men, physi-
calIy sound, trained to the sea habit
and under strict military discipline,
ready at an instant's call to cooperate
with the Navy in times of national
stress. Plans have already been
worked out with naval officials as
signing the men of the Coast Guard
to certain military duties in connec-
ton with the scheme for national de-
fence.
The military training and discipline
of the Coast Guard make it much
more effective for it's humanitarian
duties of saving life and property
from the perils of the elements in
peace times. The saving of life at
sea is essentially of an emergent ma
