THE PRESIDENTS CRITICS

%
1t is surprising how glibly and
thoughtlessly many people write and
talk Of war. They seem to have no
conception Of what war really means.
AS matter OF fact, IT means little
to them, for they never expect to get
within smell Of powder. We do not
believe IL is the bravest man who is
most insistent that the President
plunge the country into war, any
more than we believe that the man
who tries hard to avoid a fight is a
coward. Much Of the writing and
talking in criticism OF the Presidents
efforts to preserve this country from
the awful horrors of conflict, are un-
doubtedly the product Of thought
lessness.- To those who are given to
such expressions we commend a
thoughtful perusal of the following
from the Detroit Free Press:
strange, is it not, that some OF
those whom the President is keeping
out Of the horrors and suffering OF
war, are the very ones who are criti-
cising him for refusing to let "the
country go to war But in war, "the
country is the young man sitting
across the supper table with HIS wife
and child-"the country" is his
blood, and her tears. and the child's
future. These three go to war when
the President speaks--these three.
father, mother and child; the father
to death, the mother to widowhood,
the child to fatherless future.
II YOU were President-if YOU
were sitting in that white mansion
near the Potomac, facing these hu-
man United States-if it were YOUR
lips that had to summon death upon
the people of your country-if 1t
was by YOUR patience, your loyalty
to the ideal that they were to be
sayed-what would you dot Would
you wait as long as COD let you
wait? Or would you invite the
deluge?
You would wait and work for the
better way. you would serve the
people by saving them.

Since concrete blocks have found
their way into the field Of home con-
struction the architect has been fur
nished with greatly increased range
of finishing effects which may be used
without involving prOhibitive cost to
the owner. AS first consideration,
the concrete block may be made almost
any shape, and novel masonry Is OBJ
tanned without the necessity Of great
deal of chipping and shaping of the
blocks by the mason. 1t is not neces-
sary to use blocks having a mOnotony

turers are aware of the possibilities
which their product offers, and equip

Because of the rather extensive
white surface of the porch and chiin-

white throughout. The dark stained
surface of the shingle-covered walls
stands in pleasing contrast with the
