RANDOM THOUGHTS ON THE
WAR

Early in the European war we read
a number of guesses as to its duration.
SeHe~ran as low as few weeks, few
more than year. We read one state
ment of opinion, which was substan-
TALLY this:
The war would last from two to
six years; if it closed early in this
period, it would be Teutonic victory;
if in the latter part an allied victory.
The more we think of this the more
we believe that if the war ends with
in year or more it will be Teutonic
victory.
Another observation we heard rath-
er early in the conflict was this: The
war would not end suddenly because
of deficits in either men, money, or
ammunition. Of course, the losing side
will suffer from these wants, but when
peace is finally made strong armies
will be in the field for both sides just
as at the beginning and the war will
be dragging along pretty much the
same as now.
: " We Heard expressed one hope in
the beginning of the war: That it
would be so bloody, so costly, and so
terrible as forever to deter men from
bellicose intentions. For this we see
no hope; not only would the European
nations rush in the war again under
similar circumstances, but there is a
powerful faction in the United States
which thinks we ought to be spilling
blood with the rest of them.
Personally we are for peace. We
believe every war a crime. We believe
the killing of even a foreign soldier
a murder. We believe that war drags
down, and not up. Yet, the worlds
society lacks the organization to per-
feet the abolition of this useless bur-
den and overgrown curse. Individual
ly, we would only go to war (regard-
less of our nations attitude) under
and conditions which we
believed (however feeble our belief
might be in weight) made the en-
trance of our nation unavoidable.

ISOLATION to determine upon a new

the relief of families Of District ma

noon In the office of John Dolph, presi-
dent of the association, in the Munsey

the association attended. and the Office
of the association was not large
enough to hold them.
AS soon as permission can be OBJ
tanned circulars appealing for funds
and containing blank spaces in which
individuals may pledge themselves to
contribute certain amount each
month for the relief of families OF
guardsmen will be placed in stores and
other public places. 1t also is proba-
BILE that cards will be displayed in
street cars. The basis of this appeal
will be patriotism and not charity, for,
as one of the officers of the associa-
ton expressed it, to help guardsmen's
families is simply a patriotic duty.
Meetings of the plan and scope COM
mittee will be held every week. Mat
ters of policy for the association will
be determined and reports will be sub
mitted by the executive secretary, who
is in direct charge of the work.

The exaggerated expectations of
