about it?" The deuce of it is we haven't
the least idea. We are unaccustomed to
playing big role, unaccustomed to look
ing very far ahead. We are fidgety, not
very sure of ourselves. What are we
going to do?
That's where the prophets come in.
They seem to be convinced that we
have outgrown our own back yard now
and must play out on the international
common with the rest of the big boys,
who appear to be pulling some pretty
rough stuff just at present.
H. G.. Wells, in What Is Coming?
limiting at possible leadership for us in
the intellectual synthesis of the ma
tons," points out that the United States
is mo longer a political Thoreau in the
woods, a sort Of vegetarian recluse
among the nations, being of negative
virtues and unprecedented SUPERIOR
ties" Morally as well as materially
says Norman Angel ('The New World
Staten, eve are part of Europe"
This being the case Walter Lippmann,
in "The Stakes of Diplomacy" suggests
that we can best serve our own interests
and preserve the future peace of the
world by joining one of the two
great European combinations, prefera-
bly, Great Britain and her Allies. On the
other hand, Norman Angel, an English
man, warns us against entering any
combination Of states to form a balance
Of power, as the balance of power idea,
he declares, is primary cause of war.
Colonel Roosevelt, in Fear God and
Take Your Own Part" lays the greatest
emphasis on the necessity Of going
armed to the teeth in this troublous
world But in New Wars for Old" the
Rev. John Haynes Holmes seems to
think that our teeth are sufficient anna
ment None the less many lesser
prophets follow Colonel Roosevelt's lead

Frank Harris, in England or Ger

of the socialized state, divorced from its
milirarist features. 1--WE should provide
work for our laborers and proper food
for our school children, food being even
more necessary than teaching. . . On
the other side of the social scale it
would be to our self-interest to take care

instincts are cultivated in the young and
allowed to express themselves.
At the other end of the scale Agnes
Repplier, in Counter Currents" be-
means in her charmingly reactionay
fashion the good old days of Spartan
schooling, and intimates that any
method that makes learning easier even
if it seems psychologically justified, is
bound to result in a decadent race
Van Wyck Brooks, in Americas

mantle of peSsimism affected by our
young Harvard prophets, and laments
the growing cleavage between highbrow

THE WAR has brought forth won
L derfully large crop of prophets,

Il derfully large crop Of prophets
soothsayers, prognosticators and
advisers. During the last year scarcely
week has passed without leaving behind
from one to half dozen books setting
forth interpretations of the future. The
United States, in its position of conspic-
uous neutrality, has not only received
considerable attention from the Euro
pean prophets, but has produced great
number of homegrown diagnosticians
of tomorrow. Their books are being
read. too; some Of them widely read.
Probably never in our history have we
undergone such a complete stock taking
and soul searching.
It is strange that this curiosity about
the future is reflected so meagerly in the
national political campaign The dullest,
least inspiring campaign in generation
has come at a period when our current
literature is filled with vivid speculations
on political, social and economic affairs,
on our future as leading nation IN
world OF colossal disturbance and
change.
There is a general feeling that we
have relied too much on our great size
and our natural resources and our abll-
ity TO muddle through. Somehow we
have got to get together if we want to
survive in this highly organized world.
We have got to think nationally and
work nationally. We cannot get along,
for instance, with forty-eight different
and conflicting varieties Of economic and
social statutes. We cannot get along on
political theories based on a world in
which Washington was further from
New York than San Francisco is to-day
and communication with Europe was
matter Of months, world in which
neighb0r Russia and neighbor Japan
seemed almost az remote as the Peiades.
Out Of the confusion Of the war the
future looms, and like new and start

lence, society which holds flesh and
blood so cheap and dividends so dear in
times of peace that it does not sickle.
when war calls, to deliver its offspring
into the blazing jaws of Moloch."
Arthur Billiard, in ''The Diplomacy of
The Great War;" urges making friends
with other nations as the best means of
national defence. Rhodes scholarships,
exchange professorships and exchange
students are bulwarkS of peace. In the
case of backward nations it is cheaper
and more effective to help educate them
than to shoot them. Applying this idea
TO Mexico he says: ut is the illiteracy
of the MeXicanS, not their army, we have
TO fear. ;. For every dollar we spend
to put soldiers on our southern border
we should spend ten on the purely defen-
sive work of building up an educated
public across the border with whom we
can be friends"
OF a similar purport is the plea of
John Haynes Holmes for brotherhood
and democracy. "In these two great
ideas is the essence of American life"
Several of our prophets who are much
less martial than Colonel Roosevelt look
without aversion on his idea of universal
service in some form. William R. Castle,
jr., in Wake Up, America and Fred
crick C. Howe, in why War;" are two
of these. Mr.. Howe believes in citizen
army of skilled workers, trained possibly
in government munitions factories,
capable of carrying on great public
works. His recipe for peace is interest
ing.
'The making of war should be lodged
with the people. And they should know
all the facts. The foreign service
should be democratized. Foreign affairs
should be conducted in the open.
Diplomacy should be an agency for pro-

TIME process of busting off the seats
of learning preparatory to the
fall semester is accompanied by
a general rush of collegiate atmosphere
throughout the country. Ready-made
clothing drops the polo enthusiast and
racetrack beau from It's list of opponents
and adopts the college youth, with mega
phone and turtle-neck sweater, as the
type which can best show off the advan-
,age of the Kampus One-Rutton Sack.
The Best Cigarette in the Temperate
Zone ceases to be the delight of the
camper and the pride of the Bolivian
Embassy, and becomes the one thing
necessary to impart College Life to
room with a banjo in the corner and
triangular banners Of all the best state
universities Of the West on the walls. In
short, the business world, while holding
lightly the value of a college education,
nevertheless realizes that there is
something about a collegiate atmosphere
that sells goods.
1t must sell goods or it would not be
brought into play year after year, and
yet the question arises, "To whom? ?"
Certainly not to the colleges. Even the
residents of college town, little as they
can say in favor of the students, must
admit that they do not wear clothes like
the men on the sidelines in the Kollege
Kut advertisements. In fact, real col
lege town native will probably be only
