When the War is Over.

Whether present prophecies OF peace are
based on hope or have foundation in fact
thought Of the world leaders is directed to the
conditions OF life that will follow when peace
has been restored and the normal activities OF
nations have been resumed. The clearest of
thinkers see new era for man in the not far
distance. DIR. Nicholas Murray Buffers opinion
that this war is epochal in Its effect is generally
colncided with by the best OF students and
philosophers. AS contest between fundamen-
tai principles. on the application of which de-
pends tho development OF the race. IL has an IN
portance far beyond the interests Immediately
involved, and It's influence will continue down
through the ages until the processes of evolution
reach a period when another catycllsmic adjust
ment will follow in the natural order OF growth.
Already as a direct result of the conflict so
far as IL has proceeded, broader outlook for
mankind is denoted, a greater scope for mans
activity and fuller appreciation OF his abilities
The coming of peace will not mean the abolition
OF national or racial aspirations but is likely to
bring about keener realization of national re-
sponsibiltles. Rivalry between nations will be
enhanced, progress stimulated and achievement
increased by the new conditions. The race to
rebuild will far exceed the competition in de-
struction, and the best thought and utmost ener-
giles OF all will be enlisted in the work
All this is appreciated in the United States,
where leaders OF finance. commerce and industry
have been awakened TO a sense OF hitherto neg
leeted opportunity and desire to really become
participants in world affairs. Handlcaps, due to
relations that have been changed by the war, are
disappearing before the energetic effort OF our
business men. and whatever the destiny OF the
world as shaped by the European upheaval. the
United States will be in. the very front OF man

Origin of Words.

In tracing a few German words to their
origin. and showing how acts and ideas became
associated and fixed in the language, Prof.
Grummann has touched on one OF the most fas-
cinating branches of study. The pursuit of a
word back through the ages to its beginning
takes the student to the fountain OF man. Real
beginnings are lost in antiquity. so that We can
Cnly know OF the first spoken words by surmise
based on hypothetical support, but somewhere
written language appears. and while It shades
off into the mists that hide the past It gives a
record of mans struggle upward. The gradual
Improvement in service and adaptabiity OF words
clearly mark the progress of man His increas-
ing needs, flowing from his expanding intellect
required new and better means for expression
and his social growth is clearly established by
the development OF his language. Ethnologic
divisions indicated llnguistcally as well as
physically although the tongue in the end de-
pends on environment which determines the life
OF the race in all its attributes and manifesto
tons, Thus words and their uses become an
almost inerrant index OF the status Of the users
Words, however, are only arbitrary symbols
AT best, but In their correlated congregation
become wonderful instrument. whether to ex-
press or conceal thought and mans enllghten-
ment is fairly measured by the use he makes of
language.

Said Ebenezer Jabez Potts:
THE world is full of sin,
I'd like to move It from its groove,
But where shall begin?
I'd feel / had not lived in vain.
II when l pass away,
! could but know the world below
Is better than today,
II see so much of vice and wrong
Along the paths tread.
So much OF shame. so much to blame,
So much to hato and dread;
And, oh. so feeble seems my voice,
So weak the cries raise
II seems to me, I'll never see
My neighbors change their ways.
I'D like TO do my share to make
A better world for ell.
To win all men to right again,
But, Oh. my chance seems small
They never heed me when l plead,
Except in scorn to Jeer,
And when / shout their follies out
They do not stop to hear"
Now Ebenezer Potts
Lived in a dowdy shack.
His yard was bare of posies fair;
The alley at the back
Was strewn with litter, day by day,
And all who passed the place
Were wont to say such disarray
Was mildly termed disgrace.
Old Ebenezer Jabez Potts
Has many brothers here.

And think themselves sincere.
They sigh to change their neighbor
ways
And tell OF wrongs they've seen.
Discovering not. they'd help a lot
