it may not.

On August ), 1914, The Times" point
ed out that:
The general war is the direct and appaI
emily inevitable result of competitive anna
ment Such armament has been dictated in
large part by ruling classes who are least
exposed to the terrible consequences OF
war, who have inherited ambitions, AMI
mosities, appetites, in which the COM
mon people do not consciously share.
With war such as has now begun, the
tremendous cost Of this system will be
proved to every human being capable Of
even the shortest foresight-proved by the
direct hardship, privation and agony en-
dured. 1t Is not at all beyond the limits Of
reasonable speculation to infer that by this
lesson the general mind of the world my
be so deeply revolted' that war and the
armament that compels war may be etfec.u-
ally banned
"Nor is it beyond the range of possibility
that the political systems of Europe that
have left the precious welfare Of the com
mon people to a class that do not share the
common burdens may be cast of and the
destnies of toling millions shall not be in
the keeping Of a Hohenzolcrn, Hapsbarg
or a Romanof."
"The Outlook" for August Is, 1914, CON
tairs collection OF American opinion on
the war, poll Of the press:
Horror is the one salient emotion aroused
in Americans by the spectacle Of Mars stalk
ing across Europe, if editorial opinion in this
country is fair reflection, and bewilder-
meut and disgust also find expression. And
from papers of all descriptions and COM
plexions comes a note of disbursement,
the feeling that perhaps, after all, ciyi!iza-
tion is a failure.

to "The Philadelphia Press" in new light
in the phrase the Crown Prince used to
describe the submarine-"the last argu-
ment Of kings:
"What have the German people to do with
this war? Their massed strength is simply
one of the arguments Of kings That argu-
ment was hurled at world which foolishly
tried to argue in the ways of peace 1t was
thrown at them first in the form of an army
marching into Belgium and Poland, and then
in the form of Zeppelins spreading impartial
death among schoolhouses and tenements,
and now in the submarine strewing impartial
death around the seas, among neutral civil
ians and enemy civilians. These are the argu-
ments Of kings. They are not the arguments
of the German people, or of any people in the
world to-day, nor are they the arguments Of
any kings except those in Central Europe"
The certainty of our own place in this
scheme of things appears on the editorial
page of "The Chicago Herald" when 1t
declares
Germany can still count on the United
States in time of trouble. Here is Kaiser

from internal pains, groggy from the pun

Home Thoughts on Reed

NNCE more it is Reed, of Missouri,
4 who is found opposing the Presi-
dent, blocking urgent war legisla-
ton, appealing to class passion, assailing
character, impugning motives. Reed, of
Missouri attacking Hoover, is running true
TO form. Reed.of Missouri, fighting against
food control, is consistently against the
Administration and consistently on the
side of hidden privilege. Reed of Mis-
souri, whether representing the worst in
politics and corporation interests in Kan
sas City or lining up with the war
profteers in the Senate, is Reed, Of Mis-
souri,, all the time.
Before he was Reed of Missouri, and
gave the state unenviable notoriety in the
Senate he was Reed, of Kansas City, and
was different in no material respect eX-
cept as regarded the extent of his capacity
for harm. In Kansas City he was always
to be found on the side of the anti-pubic
forces. He had and has a natural predi-
lection for the malign and the darksome
in politics and attorneyiSm. He consorted
and consorts by preference 9th those who
work under cover. He hated and hates the
light and men who do things in the light.
Reed, of Kansas City, was known here for
exactly what Reed, Of Missouri, is coming
to be known in the Senate and in the
country.
Those who best know Reed, of Kansas
City, can understand his personal animus
to Hoover.-The Kansas City Star.
